Hello Sean. Thank you for your email on the Hanratty family. My g/grandmother Alice Hanratty b. c1840 married Edward Fagan c1860. I am unable to find a birth for either Alice or Edward nor a marriage. they had 2 children born Ireland 1861, 1863 before civil registration and have not been able to find birth entries for them, although I believe they were born in Carrickmacross in Monaghan. I do have confirmation that they had 2 children, Thomas and Bridget born in County Louth, 1 child Edward born 1872 in Corcullioge in Monaghan. They also had a daughter Anne born 1866 in North Shields UK, however she died in Co Louth in 1867 = result of being scalded by hot tea! They had another daughter Anne born 1880 in North Shields. They had 9 children that I have traced. Its possible that your Hanratty and mine are connected, seeing Alice called 2 daughters Anne, which was the custom. Unfortunately Andrew is not one of the names in the family (that I know of). Do you have a location for your Hanrattys? What is your connection to the Fagans? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello Roisin We have corresponded over the years - you may/may not remember that I am researching Fagan/Hanratty families. On reading this email again I felt I should reply to it - for the reason that Hammill's featured as sponsors for my Fagan/Hanratty birth entries. I would like to find out the connection of this family as I believe its possible that they were cousins or related in some way. I got the information about the sponsors from the St Cuthbert's Parish records of North Shields where the Fagans lived. They to'd and fro'd from Monaghan and Louth to North Shields over a 9 year period - according to the birth entries for their 9 children. Was the Hammill referred to in your email related to your Duffy? I'd be interested in reading about this case and would appreciate it if you could give me the link to it. Still searching.

There is a massive amount of stuff on LDS apart from just BDM's, if people look around. Each search is an individual one so your link won't work as it only a temporary result from your individual search BUT if one clicks your link, THEN clicks on "return from check SSO" it will bring one to the Family History Books... which is a collection of more than 40,000 digitized genealogy and family history publications from the archives of some of the most important family history libraries in the world. The collection includes family histories, county and local histories, genealogy magazines and how-to books, gazetteers, and medieval histories and pedigrees.

JOHN CARSON My maternal grandfather was born at Longfield, about a mile from Ballibay, County Monaghan, Ireland, on February 1, 1793* His father was a farmer whoname was William Carson. Grandfather was the only son in the family. He had two sisters, Mary and Eleanor. Grandfather received some education. He began to work for himself at about the age of 18 years. He chose the occupation of weaver. He had a loom at home and paid his board to his father. He wove linen material ranging from twelve hundred to eighteen hundred warp. The farm people spun their linen yarn and brought it to market at Ballibay on Saturday. Grandfather was a good judge of linen yarn and attended the market to buy it. He kept men and women spinning and weaving. He was married in November, 1821, to Elizabeth Willson. He had moved with his father from Longfield to Knockamudy still nearer to Ballibay when he was six years old. Uncle William Carson tells a funny story about grandfather's experience at the age of six years with a pipe. He became so sick his father thought he would die. This experience with tobacco sufficed for his entire life. He never used it afterward. Before his marriage he moved to Lac Livery, about eight miles from Creevagh church and about nine miles from Ballibay. He lived here three or four years before he was married. His sister Eleanor kept house for him. He attended church at Creevagh. It is said that Grandfather missed attendance at church only two Sabbaths in sixteen years and walked the entire distance—the round trip making about eighteen miles each Sabbath. He began to farm when he went to Lac Livery, but continued weaving. At Lac Livery were born his children: Henry, Ann, Elizabeth, William, Mary, John. In 1837 Grandfather moved from Lac Livery to Moninton. This brought him closer to church and to Ballibay, and it gave his children a better chance. At Moninton David, Thomas, Isaac (who lived only nine months), Isaac, and Eleanor were born. David died when he was about a year old. >From about 1835 Grandfather acted as "committee man" or deacon in Creevagh church. From 1849 he was an elder. Grandfather liked company. He enjoyed the life of a market day. After a transaction in linen yarn there was "toddy" and a general convivial time. He seems to have been a generous sort of a man and his sympathies were often too easily wrought upon. He gave up weaving about 1849. He was not fond of farm work. He never worked steadily at it. He liked to meet with people and to chat. He liked to visit the sick, though no hand to do anything for them more than to talk to them. Seven of their children preceded them to the United States. These were William, Elizabeth, Mary, Henry, Jane, Isaac, and Eleanor. William, Elizabeth, and Mary came in 1848, Henry and Jane about 1851, Isaac in 1861, and Eleanor in 1866. Grandfather and Grandmother came in 1867. Their son John accompanied them. They stayed with my mother during a winter. They stayed for a time in Washington County. About 1870 they lived on a farm about six miles south of Staunton, Illinois, and in 1871 they went with their son John to Dade County, Missouri, about 250 miles southwest of St. Louis. Here grandfather died September 9, 1872, in the 79th year of his age. ELIZABETH WILLSON CARSON My maternal Grandmother was born at Legacurrie, about a mile and three quarters from Ballibay, County Monaghan, April, 1800. Her father, Henry Willson (or John), was a surgeon, practicing mostly in Ballibay and about County Monaghan. Her mother was Elizabeth Irwen. She came from Rosker, a place in Monaghan County, and was a woman of property, having forty acres of land "forever." Besides my grandmother there were in the family John, Mary, and Ann, Harry, Isaac, and Thomas. They belonged to what was called the "Seceder" church. Her father had a farm, and this afforded the children employment. At the time of my grandmother's marriage, November, 1821, she connected with the Covenanter Church at Creevagh, of which her husband was a member. 8 After the death of her husband, Grandmother Carson made her home with her daughter, Mary Carson Dowzer, at Staunton, I l l i n o i s . She died at the age of 86 years, at which time she could thread a needle, read her Bible and Baxter's Saints' Rest without glasses. She always wore white or lace caps, underneath which was her golden brown hair with few silver threads. She died in 1886, and was buried at Staunton, I l l i n o i s.

Thanks Jack for the new headstones in the Monaghan Presbyterian Cemetery. The first one I saw was an ALLISTER ancestor. Pat Smyth Ontario Canada

Can you locate him in the 1911 census?

My ggrandfather, George McMahon, 1824-1887, purchased a 10 grave plot in Holy Cross Cemetery on 8 Aug 1853. A Mr. Patrick McMahon was buried in this plot on 13 Aug 1853. Holy Cross has no other information. The Brooklyn Death Register said he was born about 1824 in Ireland. He died as a result of a heat stroke on the streets of Brooklyn according to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. His age would suggest that he could have been a brother or cousin or nephew to George McMahon. What other reason would there be for him to be buried in George McMahon's family plot? My DNA indicates George and his ancestors were born in County Monaghan, Ireland. I do not know the names of his parents. If any of this sounds familiar to you, please contact me. Ray in Georgia
