    1. [IRL-MONAGHAN] Townland- Agharooskey
    2. Pauline Leonard
    3. Hello, I think I may have just found out that my great-grandfather was born in the Townland of Agharooskey, Co. Monaghan. I always thought he was from Fermangh. I cannot find a townland by that name in Monaghan. I am not very familiar with Monaghan since I have always been looking in Fermanagh. Is there a townland in Monaghan named Agharooskey? Does anyone know where it is? Does anyone have a map of it? I know that there is a townland in Fermanagh called Agharooky West or something like that. I would have to look that up again. This information says Monaghan. Would anyone be able to shed any light on this for me? Would anyone have access to the 1901 Census of Ireland to look up this family. I know that my MURRAY family was in the townland of Mullyduff, Co. Fermanagh in the 1911 Census but they weren't there for the 1901. The townland of Agharoosky in Fermanagh is fairly close to Mullyduff. There is no townland in Monaghan called Agharooskey according to SeanRuad. I am totally confused and don't know what to think now. I have a marriage certificate for James MURRAY and Margaret GIBNEY (my great-grandmothers name). They were married in 1905 at the Cathedral of Monaghan. It says that James was residing in Drummaconor, Monaghan and Margaret was residing at Monaghan. James MURRAY's daughter says she remembers that he was from Agharoosky (she doesn't know the spelling or place). James MURRAY date of baptism/birth- 01/08/1888 address- Agharooskey parish/district- Monaghan county- Monaghan gender- Male denomination- Registration District [ I don't know what this means] father- James MURRAY mother- Mary ARMSTRONG occupation- Labourer sponsor 1- Mary sponsor 2- [nothing] notes- [nothing] Thanks Pauline Ontario Canada
