I would like to find any family history I can. thank you. Charles Cashion Ohio/ US

John Short married Mary Heilly (Healey or Hely or Haly) on 4/2/1863 in the Church of Rome, Tn Monaghan. His father was John Short, mother unknown. Mary came from Edgeworthstown Co Longford. Her father was Samuel Heilly, her mother Catherine Kernin. They then emmigrated to Australia and raised a family. He was a Cordwainer (bootmaker) and his sons also took up the tools. It may have been a family trade. Does anyone have links to the Shorts or have any more details of the Irish family. Im at a standstill ! Thanking you in anticipation. J in OZ

Each County in Ireland has an Ancestry Center which will do research for you. The basic charge is about $25.00. Then if you want extensive research, they will do it if possible for an additional fee. Check Cyndislist.com, or Genuki.com for you county, then you should be able to get an address. Some are on the interet as well. Good Luck!

Clogher Historical Society I found them quite helpful - try Brian McDonald at email address: chs@tinet.ie. - one address of their website (there are at least two addresses) is http://www.clogherhistoricalsoc.com - back issues of magazine "Clogher Record" may be available from registrar Maire O'Neill, 15 Glenview Heights, Monaghan Ireland. (I dont know if all or merely some are available in this way). Their website lists the contents of all issues since the 1950's and is listed by author, subject, volume etc. Best wishes - David O'Daly >From: "Jean L.

Hello All My Monaghan interests are Matchett and Frazer, not Graham, but I have found Grahams in Budore near Dundrod, Co. Antrim in the 1630s Muster List. My gg grandmother was Abagail Graham, father James, farmer. I hadn't heard of the Dublin connection, but I had heard that the Grahams were the worst of the border reivers and were banished to Ireland.

I have used the Clougher Historical Society and hope others have better luck than I ,they have never answered me at all. Gary McNaney

I have e-mailed the Clones news to a friend in Co. Monaghan. Dunno if the answer will be forthcoming, or not. This person is slow in responding to e-mail. Very busy individual. But, if anything comes of it, I will post it. Does anyone have a web page URL for the Clogher Historical Society? Or, perhaps an e-mail address? There's where the answers are . jean

Nancy Beaty, b. ca. 1802, Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, m. Thomas Keoun in 1825 in Newry. According to family files, she was the daughter of James Beaty and wife, Jane. Both families immigrated to South Carolina. The Keouns persistently spelled the name with a "u" in spite of the fact that there were many Keowns in SC. I would very much like to hear from anyone researching these families in Monaghan as I have run into a dead end. Would also like any information about the Keoun name spelling. Thanks! Sharon Rogers

Fred, there are sources in O'Falley. Most general histories of Ireland will touch on the various efforts to introduce Scots and English to Ireland. A web-site with a list of some census substitutes, some of which list undertakers or Protestant householders, is: scripts.Ireland.com/ancestor/ browse/index.htm Look under records in 16th c. census substitutes and 17th. and 18th. c. census substitutes. Some of the records they list are available at LDS Family History Centers. I don't know of a source for comprehensive lists. If such a thing exists, perhaps someone on the list will mention it?

You know I think I have seen your Beatty Graham's name somewhere. But where I can not remember. My Graham family came to Canada in the 1840. I will start looking through my tons (and I do mean tons) of paper to see if I do have something on your Graham. Regards. Gail

No.....you haven't seen my 'papers' yet.....I have all the patience in the world though! You are the first that even thought they had seen the name. My Beatty Graham came from Co Monoghan, Northern Ireland with wife, Ann McShay (Shea) to Rochester NY where they had two daughters and then went into Ontario Canada where they applied for Clergy Land. He was plowing and the ox began to choke so he put his hand in his throat and was bitten.....the ox had rabies. What did an Irishman know about rabies?.....he and the oxen died within a few days. Beatty was only 48 years old! > -----Original Message----- > From: GFahrnl928@aol.com [mailto:GFahrnl928@aol.com] > Sent: Monday, July 03, 2000 8:33 PM > To: IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [MONAGHAN~] GRAHAM surname in Ireland > > > You know I think I have seen your Beatty Graham's name somewhere. > But where > I can not remember.

Dear Gail, Well that figures - probably why they left Ireland for Australia too! Thanks, Jenny ----- Original Message ----- From: <GFahrnl928@aol.com> To: <IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, 3 July 2000 1:23 Subject: Re: [MONAGHAN~] GRAHAM surname in Ireland

Anita is there a way to know of the planted peoples' surnames or more about that particular bit of history? Thanks, JIM M>

Hello, if you find a reputable researcher in Ireland, please let me know as I too need help over there. Am at a dead end in locating my family Gillis (of the Meth. Church of Ireland, apparently) from Glasslough area. Thanks much, Jim Marchand.

I don"t remember where I read this but I understand many Grahams were sent first to Dublin from Scotland as they were a border family and very hard to control. So you might check co. source, Dublin area. Jane C

Did I miss something? I have Beatty Graham born in Monoghan Co in 1805-07 but I can't find any proof. I have him later in Ontario Canada where he died from a rabies bite at 48 years old! He was my great grandfather and married Ann Mc Shay in Monoghan.
