Hi Mel My trip to Cullyhannah is to look at some estate maps that were found in a skip and are in a museum there. They relate to Skeriff Tichburn and possible adjacent townlands. My great grandfather Patrick Callan, after moving to England, acquired a property there in 1878. Previously it had been in the possession of the Sheridan's Patrick's mother's family. My Callan ancestors come from Drumgoose which is south of Loch Muckno, close to the border just off the Castleblayney to Dundalk road. I have some photos taken on previous trips. They show countryside rather than town being of Drumgoose and Skeriff Tichburn. They are however interesting. The house at Drumgoose is close on 200 years old and shows a superior house for a small farmer. The photos at Skeriff are less valuable partly due to the weather but also because the houses have been replaced. My next computer job is to set up a photo archive and will put the photos in which I can share - I do not share photos of living people without their consent.

Hi Mel, et al on this list, You can use Google Maps to see most of Ireland from ground level in great detail. Just type in the townland, city, etc. that you're interested in, e.g. Drumgoose. G-Maps will give you a few choices. Select one & when it has completed loading, grab the little golden man above the zoom slider, drag him over the map & release him on any roadway that has been highlighted in blue. After the ground-level view loads, you can turn the view 360, zoom to particular points of interest, hop along the road, etc. with your pointer. It's astonishing to me how many tiny by-ways in Ireland are available in this way. If you do this in Google Earth and use the "Show Historical Imagery" feature, you can see how things have changed over time. I found that 2 houses on a particular plot that I'm interested in in Drumdreeny were built between 2006 and 2010. Have fun with it.

I'm looking for a bit of advice if anyone has it. I am planning a trip to Ireland in April or May and I am looking to stay self catering in Dublin and travel up to County Monaghan at least once. Whilst I am there I hope to cross over to Cullyhannah in County Armagh but I am dependant on public transport.

Thanks Sharon. You seem to be a very resourceful lady. Your mention of Monaghan stirred me to look at all of your listing in the hope of seeing the Moran name mentioned. Despite the death certificate of my Great Gandfather showing his place of birth as Carrickmacross in 1829 I have not been able to find any trace of his origins. His name was Francis Moran and in Australia and NZ he was involved in the liquor industry in gold rush areas. Perhaps his Irish family were also. Sharon, can you suggest where I might look ?

Phil, poking around on line, I found 4 Morans in the County Monaghan Tithes, the nearest to Carrickmacross being Phill in Aghnamullen in 1829. On familysearch, found an imprisoned Bridget McNulty who said she was born in CMX in 1831, could be kin of yours. Griffith's shows 2 Morants in CMX parish, again might be kin. Unfortunately, church records don't go back far enough to help.

If anyone needs to look up an obscure placename in Ireland, this book has all, or most, older placenames; "The Master Book of Irish Placenames" by O'Laughlin.

Hello Have I registered her for a search of my family? Don

Recently, I have been transcribing and annotating a number of news clippings that affect families related to my research who come from Co. Louth, Armagh & Monaghan in the 1800s. There are dozens if not more than a hundred other family names included in these news clippings, many of whom I cannot identify. Even so, I decided to post what I know so far and hope I can fill in the gaps as I learn more. The recent entries that may be of interest to this list include (not all the annotated names are mentioned beneath): 1883 June 9 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1883Jun9-GILMORE-obit.html>. Dundalk Democrat. Obituary of Dr. Samuel GILMORE. I do not know who all the people who attended this funeral are, but I have included what I know. The GILMOREs of Liscalgot and the JACKSONs of Urker were very closely related -- with more than one intermarriage tying the two families together over many generations. 1882 May 30 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1882May30-RevMcKEOWN.html>. NAMES: Dr. McKEOWN - probably Rev. Patrick McKEOWN of Claranagh - or someone related to him. 1842 February 3 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1842Feb3-POWELL.html>. NAMES: Christopher ARMSTRONG; Gordon S. HOLMES; Henry McCABE; Widow HUGHES; Thomas POWELL. 1791 August 18. <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1791Aug18-DONALDSON.html> NAMES: John DONALDSON; Thomas MARTIN. 1841 September 11 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1841Sept11-TIPPING.html>. NAMES: James TIPPING and his mill at Ballsmill. 1840 September 15 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1840Sept15-MARKEY.html>. NAMES: Richard BARRETT; many members of the MARKEY family. 1839 March. <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1839Mar-SMYTHE.html> Jonathon SMYTHE lets 124 acres of Urcher. 1836 June 18. <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1836Jun18Tithes.html> NAMES: Francis FORDE of Carnally; Hugh O'CALLAGHAN of Cullaville; Robert DICKIE of Roachdale; Andrew Coulter BRADFORD and John BRADFORD of Cavananore; John Thomas DICKIE of Clonaleenan; Thomas CALLAGHAN of Ivy Lodge; John KELLY of Rassan; James STITT of Freeduff; Dr. McPHARLAND; Richard L. SHEIL; William Sherman CRAWFORD. An account of Protestants & Catholics protesting unjust tithes. February 11, 1834 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1834Feb11.html>. I know little about the raids on illegal stills, but I liked the phrase: /midnight legislation. / September 8, 1870 <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1870Sept8TuapekaTimes.html> I would be interested to learn more about the printer John MATTHEWS of Dundalk. /The Peace Preservation Act in Ireland/. Tuapeka Times. 1881 Mar 12 Cullyhanna Land League article <http://www.thesilverbowl.com/documents/newsclippings/1881Mar12-LandLeague.html>. This article mentions several County Armagh men who were both Orangemen and members of the Land League. Of particular interest to me, is the mention of David JACKSON of Urker near Crossmaglen in South Armagh. He was not only my great-great-grandfather, but also the father of Sir Thomas JACKSON, the focal point of my research. *NOTE*: There are two ways to keep on top of updates on my site.

Recently I discovered that a granduncle named Bernard Lennon was born about 1870(Lurgangreen) and lived at either Tandragee or Lislannon in the Clones area of County Monaghan in the 1930s. There may have been three daughters in his family, Mary Ann who married William Moore(date unknown), Bridget and Catherine. Trying to locate their families.. Thanking you in advance Roisin Lafferty
