Hello List, Is anyone researching Merriman from Rathgarve parish/Castlepollard area of Co. Westmeath. I am looking for their connection to the James McCormack family of Stonestown/Castlepollard - 19th and early 20th century. Claire McCormack, Rochester, NY

Hi Keith was looking at Tullamore parish records today which were very difficult to read however I did note a baptism on 1st Feb 1827 of John to Daniel Creevy & Helen McDermot with sponsors Michael Brien & Lucy Whitaker. I have a Marcella Creeny ( Creery,Creary, ) who married Thomas Geoghegan & had 8 kids between 1863 & 1881.but thats all I am afraid cheers Peter

Hello, I joined this list shortly after I found a reference to KILCASH as a surname not in Sligo (as I had been told the name might be limited to) but in Westmeath. A John and William Kilcash are listed in the 1796 Flaxgrowers Growers List. John had one loom/wheel in Parish Rathgorrow and William had another in St. Mary's. My relative AUGUSTUS KILCASH appears on a Loyalist Forces Muster Roll in the colonies in 1780. I have had trouble finding his origins beyond a general reference that KILCASH or McGiolla Chaise is an Irish name. John and William are my first links to the KILCASH surname being used in a specific place. I am hoping, by tracing this name, I might find a reference to Augustus, his branch, and how he came to the US. Is anyone on the list familiar with the KILCASH name? Thanks! Holly Gillcash (Gillcash=modern equivalent)

I recently sent for the form for obtaining information from the Irish Heritage. They sent back an attachment to print out that I am not able to read with my computer. Could someone send me a plain E-mail of this form? Betty Levin Researching - sad to say- the uncommon names of Patrick Smith and Patrick O'Brien!

Hello Jan - The 1901 census of Westmeath lists the following family which interested me because I am researching my Tormey origins: FHL Film # 852448 Poor Law Union - Granard, Electoral Div and Townland - Rathowen- Parish Rathaspick Francis Tormey - Head - 35 - General Merchant - Not married Mary O'Donnell - Sister - 30 - married Ellen Moran - Sister - 24 - married John Moran - B-in-law - 26 - married Anna Marie O'Donnell - Niece - 9 Joseph O'Donnell - Nephew - 7 Annie Moran - Niece - 8 mos. Mary Hughes - Boarder - 35 - married - domestic servant. I know this is is later than the time frame you mentioned, but thought you might like to file it away since it is about Rathowen Morans.

Hi Colette ~ Here's what I'm looking for: Any birth to a Patrick Murtagh and Bessy Doyle married 1846 in Delvin. Thank you, Jane in CA

Hi Peter I was sent a print out by a contact in Westmeath,it lists all of the GORRYs Christened in Tubber Rosemount between abt.1829/1880s and also gives the parents and sponsors. I found all of the children born to my gr.grandparents,William GORRY and Bridget Keenaghan on the print out. I don't know how you go about getting one,but they can be obtained. Here's a wee story with a twist. My son recently married a fine girl called Bridget BERGERON from Montreal. Her Father was adopted by the French Canadian Bergeron family,his family name was DUFFY. Her Mother was of a Ukrainian family called REVENCO. She married my son and became Bridget McGONIGAL !! what could be more Irish ?? Cheers Frank McGonigal Ont.Canada.

Very Interesting as I saw recently that someone else had obtained a Computer print out of some Parish Records. I thought that the Heritage Centre would only search their records against specific enquiries but this would indicate that they are prepared to extract on a much wider basis. Is this true ?? regards to all Peter Geoghegan

Researching my g. g. grandparents, PATRICK ALEXANDER & CATHERINE MEARES DUCKETTT, married in Athlone, Co. Westmeath in 1838, later emigrating to Barrow Hill (Chesterfield) area of England. CATHERINE was the daughter of MICHAEL & MARY WHITE MEARES of Athlone. I recently acquired entries from the DUCKETT NOTEBOOK concerning the DUCKETT and DEGNAN families, descendants of my g.g. grandparents, after they emigrated to England. I am hoping to make contact with our family's descendants. Many thanks! Loretta Myrter [email protected]

Delvin Roman Catholic Parish has birth, marriage and death records from 1783.

Hi Milissa, My name is Kathy and I do so appreciate you taking over the list. I am researching my Irish ancestor my g grandfather Patrick Ronan who was from County WEstmeath he was a stone mason. He died in CT. on September 9th 1887 at the age of 63 years old. PatrickRonan was probably born about 1824., He married a Katherine Rafferty who was also from Ireland. I found a Patrick Ronan on the the 1796 Flaxgrowers list which could have been Patrick Ronan's father- my gg grandfather. He was listed as being in Devlin Parish, County Westmeath. I am trying to find any Ronans that may be a relative . I have more information that I would be happy to share on the Ronan family from Patrick my g grandfather on down once he was in CT. for anyone else who might be researching the Ronan family. If you have any suggestions on how or where to research in Ireland on the Ronan's I would really appreciate it.I'm not sur if I should write to the parish of Devlin or to try to write where? for birth or death certificates. I would truly appreciate any help or suggestions you could offer.

Hi Jan, Could Rathhonen be the same as Rathowen? Dan

I am new to this list and am researching the DIGNAM family. My great, great grandfather was Michael Dignam. The name was later changed to Dignum. Michael was the son of John and Ann(maiden name unknown) Dignam and the nephew of James and Ann Fox (Wales) Dignam, who also lived in Albany. I appears that the families emigrated in the mid 1830s. Michael's siblings were James, Ann, John, Thomas and Patrick. Michael married Ellen HAM (county unknown) in 1852 in Albany. Their children were Emily Jane, William John, James J., John Patrick, Thomas Francis and Mary. Ellen died in 1866 and Michael married Bridget EAGAN ( county unknown ) the following year. Their children were Elizabeth, Ann and Edward John. Michael was a coachman for the wealthy Van Rensselaer family for many years. During the years following the closing of the manor house, he was employed as a driver. He died in 1899. I have been unable to trace any of his siblings. Although they appear in some Albany records, they are lost in later years. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated. I have contacted the Westmeath Heritage Center, but they have not found the family in the records that have been indexed at this time. Lynne Sisk [email protected]

Hi and welcome to Melissa and greetings for the New Year to all. I have just returned from holidays by the sea at St.Leonards Victoria, nice and restful. My Grandparents Thomas Connell and Mary Wallace both came to Australia from neighbouring towns in Westmeath - his parents were Patrick Connell and Catherine Maher hers were Peter Wallace and Mary Donoghue both fathers were listed as Farmers on my gp's marriage cert. I also know that the Wallace family address in Ireland was Coolnahay,Slanemore,Mullingar,County Westmeath and that Mary's sister Elizabeth Wallace died there on 5.12.1961. Hoping against hope that someone out there might help me.

Hi Dan, I don't have a death record for Jane. I estimate her death date from the cancelled land records which show the passing of the land from Jane who was listed in the original Griffith's Valuation to her son Thomas WHITE in the late 1880's. The death certificate however would not have her parents names on it. This has never been a requirement for death certificates in Ireland. They will only tell you who was present at the time of the death and this could be anyone who was there at the time.

Just getting started again after the holiday's. Hope somone may be searching my family name. Patrick Kinney born about 1825, Glasson, West Meath, married Eliza Day of Ireland probably in Colchester, Connecticut, USA. (have not found their marriage). Patrick's parent's were Thomas and Bridget Kinney. Do not know of any other children for them. Patrick and Eliza's children all born in Colchester, Ct.: Thomas b 1851, Michael b 1853, Edward b July 1854, Mary B Oct 1856, John b Jan 7, 1858, Patrick b 1861 and Bridget b June 8, 1864. Would like to find marriage for Thomas and Bridget in West Meath and confirm birth of Patrick in Glasson about 1825. Patrick arrived in New York, October 5, 1847, as stated on his intentions to become naturalized in Connecticut. Thanks, Eleanor Rooney
