Quoting... From: I am trying to find a birth record (and any other information) re one John Luke MARTIN, born Carrickmacross, Monaghan about 1890. The only other information I have is two location names which I do not have the correct spellings for: 'Kilark' and what sounds like 'Cool-dairy' (the place of birth was given to me by a relative as Kilark, 'Cool-dairy', Carrickmacross, County Monahagn) As well, it is possible that the forenames are reversed - Luke John MARTIN. I would sincerely appreciate any assistance. Beverly in Victoria, BC, Canada ============ There were about 55 Martins in the Donaghmoyne parish Tithe index of 1823. COOLDERRY is a townland in that parish, which is just north of Carrickmacross. KILLARK is a townland of 172 acres in the parish of Magheracloone, south of Carrickmacross, in the Farney barony. I have a Gaelic football history book of Donaghmoyne parish and surrounds, and some Martins were mentioned as star players. If you wish I can e-mail you the Tithe list, and will try to find a Luke M. around that time frame, in that book. Patrick Traynor, in California's gold-rush country. tray@jps.net

You have our Traynor surname. Both my grandfather and great grandfather were John Joseph Traynor. I am a third generation Philadelphian. My grandfather worked in the coal mines around there, somewhere. Don't know what part of Ireland family came from. Please tell me what you know. ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Traynor <tray@jps.net> To: <IRL-MONAGHAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2000 12:09 PM Subject: [MONAGHAN~] MARTIN, Luke John abt 1890 > Quoting...
