Help! Am I the only descendant of the only Keenan that ever lived? ---Thomas and Ann, parents of Hugh, b ca 1833, who emigrated to NYS ca 1850. Any help would be appresiated. Carole in VA cdfemma@msn.com

If someone is really doing marriage look ups. Please send me any information you find on CRANSTON. One was a Rev John Cranston who was married to Sarah? And their were several others. John Cranston and he married Mary Moore, they came to the USA in 1802, but were married? There also was a ------------Cranston who was married to Barbara Lindsay, 1600-1700's. I have lots of names but can't put the families togeter. anyone have ideas how I can do that? There was also a Glebe house in CO> Monaghan that is not at this time, but the conner stone is there in a farmers field. I would like more info on it, where could I look. Thanks in advance. Rose Cranston Dcran41266@aol.com

I offered to look up vital records on the Indexes that are held at my FHC. The index only gives volume and page of the actual record. you will still have to get that info from the LDS. You don't give any dates for the marriages you mentioned. I will only search up to three years for any one event. The marriage records from 1845 to 1865 were only for Protestant marriages, so if yours are catholics and were married before 1865 I won't be able to help. The same for ANY marriages before 1845. Let me know. Joan Roc1030@aol.com wrote: > Did someone recently offer to do marriage look ups?

Did someone recently offer to do marriage look ups? If so, would you please look up Denis Shevlin -Catharine Rice and Patrick Shevlin -Margaret Feary(sp?) I understand they may have been from the Castleblayney area. Thank you

Mary, Thanks very much for your e-mail. Unfortunately I don't know much about my Wright's when they were in Monaghan before emigrating to Scotland. If I come across any more details that make a connection I'll let you know. Thanks again for your e-mail. Take care, Mary.

My gg grandmother was Hannah Wright married to David Mahaffey who changed the spelling of the name when he came to the states. They were married in County Monaghan or at least lived there before coming over. They were Presbyterians. Wonder if the Wright might be related to the one mentioned here. Have not worked on the Wright family at all, but have wondered about it. David and wife came to Iowa in the 1870's.

For those of you who asked for a lookup of Irish Marriages, and to whom I sent film LDS Film #'s, don't forget you can avoid the cost of renting a film by sending form #31768 Request for Photocopies, and they will just photocopy the entry you want. Joan

Hello again, Sandy. I forgot to send info found on children. The only defininte find was William Hubert Boyd in 1869-Rathdown Registration Office Vol. 2 Pg.1026 LDS # 0101181. In 1865 there were 9 John Boyds, none in Co. Monaghan nor any in Rathdown. Here are the references: Belfast v.1 p.283 " v.1 p.399 Ballymoney v.1 p.199 Larne v.1 p. 605 Belfast v.1 p. 350 Londonderry v.17 p. 190 Antrim v.16 p. 22 Newtownards v. 16 p.810 " v. 6 p. 962 The film #'s are: v. 1 0101220 (1864-5) v. 1 0101100(1865) v.6 0101105 v.11 0101110 v. 17 0101116 v.16 0101115 I couldn't look up Thomas as luck would have it, that page was missing from the index. Joan

I checked for your marriage today. Found an Elizabeth Wallace at Ballymena District VOl.2 Pg.105 in 1846. However no Hugh McNally or McNeely appeared. I'm afraid I didn't check for McAnally or McInally as I forgot to write down these alternative spellings before I went. It you like I will check those spellings when I next go (probably within the next two weeks). If you send me your email address I will post your directly. Joan

Hi, Sandy. Found the Boyd-McCrudden marriage in the Index of Irish Marriages for 1865. It was registered at Monaghan District Office Vol.3 page 350. You will need to order film #0101472 from your local FHC to get to see the actual registration. It will give both fathers' names and their occupations, occupation of groom, ages of bride & groom, marital status, their townland, where the marriage was performed & what kind of service. Send me your email address for future reference. My in laws are from BC and someday I may ask for your help in searching some of their ancestors as I am very ignorant of Canadian genealogical sources. Good Luck, Joan

Hi Sue I had guessed at first that my relatives came from Northern Ireland because of the different spellings of the name. If you say them out loud and imagine a NI accent, they all sound nearly the same. Yours fit that bill too. My gg grandparents were William McAnulty and Margaret McIlwain (I think, the writing of the mother's maiden surname on my ggrandmothers marriage certificate is not too clear). According to this certificate she (MARY McANULTY) was born about 1847 in Glasgow. Her husband's death certificate shows the informant as WILLIAM McINALTY - brother in law, and when I found him in the 1881 census he had an older brother ROBERT McANULTY lodging with him. William's birthplace was Bridgeton, Glasgow and Robert's birthplace was Ireland, APPROX 1840. so that would mean that the family came to Glasgow from Ireland some time between 1840 and 1847. And that's about all the information I have except for family legends. An aunt of mine was described by my mother as having the McNulty eyes - she had rather prominent blue eyes. And the McAnultys were all musical. I know some of them played fiddles in a band in the 1920's but don't know if they were professional or amateur, and a JOHN mCaNULTY played violin with the Scottish National Orchestra in the 1970s, and he was a far out relation of my mothers, although I never met him. The odd thing is I don' think Mum even realised she was saying the name differently on each occasion, so I think she was repeating it as she had heard it. Her mother ELIZABETH MOAN (daughter of Mary McAnulty) died when Mum was 2 years old in 1915. I should be going up to Scotland during the summer - I have promised myself time at the GRO(S, and I also mean to go over to Glasgow to search the archives at the Cathedral. I'll let you know if I find out anything else.

My "cousin" who married into the family in the early 1940's got the information from her husband's father (my grandmother's brother) and she says the way he pronounced it made it sound more like Macanaully than McNally.

I have an obit for Elizabeth Wallace McAnally's brother, John Wallace. He was born in 1808 in Monaghan County. Someone on another list said that McNally was a Monaghan Co name & I thought that would make sense in my case with a Wallace-McNally marriage. I ordered the 1851 census from my FHC to try to find my great grandmother's siblings. For now, she's the only one whose name I have. It looks like it's going to be a long wait, though. I'm into the 6th week already. Thank you for writing. I'll let you know what I find in the census.
