I'm looking for Charles SLOWEY. I imagine he was born around the 1800 period. He married Mary (surname unknown) who was born abt 1822 in Co. Cavan. I have three known children who were all resident in Manchester, England on the 1851 census. Margaret Ann Slowey born 1822 Co. Cavan Denis Slowey born 1824 (no birth location other than Ireland) Patrick Slowey (no birth date or birth location) Family were Roman Catholic At the marriage of Denis Slowey in Manchester 1858, the father, Charles Slowey is shown as "of Monaghan" This does not necessarily mean he was born in Monaghan, but probably means he was "of Monaghan" at this given date of 1858. But I suspect he was likely born in Monaghan or Cavan. Charles may or may not have been deceased as of 1858. Any information on the name of SLOWEY in the period around 1800-1850 would be welcome. Especially names of parishes/townlands where this name was concentrated. Regards Jane Coop (West Yorks, England)

Hi Jane, I think you will find that the name Slowey is abundant in County Monaghan and also over the border in County Fermanagh. This leads me to believe the could be spread around the border areas. Sloey is a variant of Slowey as is Molloy so, if you don't find your ancestors in a Slowey search, you might want to search by the variants. If you find your Slowey ancestors were from the Parish of Clones, I have a file for the Tithe Applotments 1823-1837 for Clones Parish, a great resource, which was kindly transcribed by Ciaran Potter. There are certainly Charles Slowey entries in there. If you want the file you can either download it from my website (below) using the 'records' link or email me direct and I will send you a copy. You may also find other records of interest. Good Luck! Claire McConville www.claires-rosleaancestry.co.uk On 12 Oct 2010, at 11:30, Jane Coop wrote: > I'm looking for Charles SLOWEY.
