Hi Maureen, I don't have a townland. The only piece of information that I have was the death certificate of Catherine Martin Stapleton, sister of Mary Elizabeth Martin, which lists her parents as having been born in Monaghan. Wish I could be more help, Kathleen

I am looking for any information regarding the Banigan surname. I understand they came from around Ballybay and left around 1850-60. My great-great grandfather was Eugene born around 1833. His father was Patrick., mother Mary. Patrick may have had a brother Joseph. Thanks, Carol

Patricia, Thanks so much for the response. I got the name of the county from the death certificate of a ggreat aunt. Even that is suspect. I do know that my Martins were Catholics. Kathleen

DON'T GIVE UP! I've been looking for 25 years for my GIBSON in Fermanagh. HE WROTE A LETTER SAYING HE WAS BORN THERE IN 1819. I think it must have been before they started keeping records!

Kathleen, I think you might find your James Martin on the "Tithe Applotment Lists" c. late 1820's or early 1830's, under the name of his townland. I would have suggested you check the "Griffith's Valuation" CDROM, but for Co. Monaghan, that list was made from 1858/60 and your family had probably left Ireland already. Do you have any clue as to either the name of the Parish or the townland? You won't find your family in Civil Records, but you might be able to find them in Church records. Do you know their religion when they lived in Co. Monaghan?

Also, the same page of the book (Irish Pedigrees, by O'Hart) states that "Aonan" signifies "the darling of the family". KEENAN is an anglisization of CAOINAIN (caoin = "mild", an = "one who"). It seems that EENAN is part of the English translations of AONAIN and CAOIN, and maybe some other Irish names. Therefore the EENAN part can have more than one meaning. I think you names you gave above are all English translations of original Irish names.

Hi listers, Although I've not had luck finding the birthplace of Michael STREENAN, my ggggrandfather listed in an 1861 England census whose birthplace is listed as Ireland, I've found some close variations of this surname in Co. Monaghan. I recently viewed the Householders Index for Co. Monaghan at my local FHC and there are a lot of surnames that end in -EENAN, e.g. SREENAN, SHREENAN, GREENAN, BREENAN, SHEENAN. Does anyone know if this part of the surname has any Irish/Celtic meaning or why there are so many located in Co. Monaghan? Thanks for any responses.

Hi. I am looking for any relations of James Oliver born 1841 at Monaghan Co. He cane to Canada in 1886 and is burried in Ontario, Canada. His wife was Anne Jane Johnstone born 1841 at Caven Co. also is burried in Canada. There children were born at Carrickmacross, Ireland. They are Eliza 1866 (John Bell), James Nelson 1868 (Ida Romberg), Anne Jane 1870 ( Thomas Bell), John George 1872,Thomas 1874, Ewdard 1876,William Ferran 1881. We can follow them in Canada, but think James had to have had brothers, and sisters. I am in Canada and this is a new project. Could use any help.

Would you look on the spinning wheel list for Cranston or Moore? Thank you in advance, Rose C

Dear Patricia Thank-You for your time. Warm Wishes Christine

No, they are not from those parishes. Thank you anyway.

No, I'm doing them from a photocopy of a book in the Linen Hall Library in Belfast. The information from the CD is already on the Web; however, I don't think that the CD information lists the Parish names, which is important.
