    1. Re: [IRL-MONAGHAN] IRL-MONAGHAN Digest, Vol 3, Issue 124
    2. I have not posted to the list for a while. I am still trying to find my grandparents and beyond. It is so frustrating when I have many clues. My family were MURPHY m DUFFY MURPHY m WOODS My mother was born at Drumnagrella (I have visited the cottage/farm) Inniskeen in 1908. She died when I was 5 years. I have a copy of the 1901 census. Peter Murphy farmer aged 60 b county Louth married to my Gr Grandmother Eileen Duffy aged 56 b county Monaghan. Children Bridget age 24 Annie " 22 Kate " 17 Joseph 21 Peter " 20 All Roman Catholics all could read and write. I believe there were about 13 in the family, 3 brothers I believe went o America, before the census and 2 others died. Bridget married Willie (william Woods) and they lived at Drumnagrella. I have had a contact from a cousin in St. Louis, South America. He hired a genealogist many years ago, the baptismal dates appear to be before the birth dates, and they don't tally with the 1901 census. I so want to find out about my Mothers family to pass on to my 3 children before I die. I am a pensioner, living in England and don't know where to look! Can someone give me a hand? A website maybe that would have access to this part of Ireland, Inniskeen is about 12 miles from Dundalk. I have found some grave stones in the Inniskeen Cemetery which is now the Peter Kavanagh centre, but no relevant help. There is also a little chapel in the graveyard dedicated to the Murphy & Woods family. Any help would be so appreciated. Julie Perry (Woods)
