Hi all Rejoining the list after almost a year's break. Still looking for any leads on my great-great-grandfather Anthony MANLEY (b. ca. 1835) with brother James (1839) and sister Ellen (1833), all born in Co Mayo (English census data) to James MANLEY, farmer (mother *possibly* Honora) and all immigrants to England between about 1846 and 1850. On specifics, can anyone confirm which Catholic parish 'Clovnglasna' would be in (it's "3 miles from Ballina on the shores of Lough Conn and the River Deel" according to an online contact). Apparently Griffiths shows a James Manley there .... though whether he's my 3x great-grandfather... I can only hope! TIA for any help/advice. Drew Reed Fife, Scotland

I was especially interested in the part about Mayo in the following article from an Iowa newspaper. Newport or possibly Westport is where my Myles McNally (gg grandfather) hailed from. My gg grandfather's first wife, Myra Hinkley McNally died and was buried in either Newport or Westport, Mayo, Ireland somewhere between 1842- 1846. (I base this on the fact that Myles was in the U.S. -Oconomowoc, Wisconsin- and remarried in 1846 to Mary McDonel, my gg grandmother. Also Myra Hinkley McNally's last child was born May 1842. I often wondered if Myra Hinkley McNally was a famine victim...or what was her story... Davenport Gazette Davenport, Scott, Iowa October 1, 1846 IRELAND Alas! for poor Ireland! Her potato crop, the main stay to the stomachs of her dense population, is again almost wholly destroyed. There is no article of food which can replace the great staple. Indian Corn, which approaches nearest, was repudiated on account of a prejudice which had seized the minds of the people. Gradually as the pangs of hunger have instilled reason, has the feeling vanished until that wholesome article of food, fit for the stomach of her Majesty, has been introduced to the manifest improvement of the condition of the people. Still they are in a wretched situation, but the Government has adopted measures for their relief which we trust will meliorate their condition. An Irish paper, the Mayo Constitution, after mentioning the large gathering of a large concourse of people, number upwards of 2000 at Westport, says:- " A multitude of people also assembled in Mayo, exceeding, we should think, 5,000; they marched peaceably and orderly, and, after walking through the town, they assembled on the green, where a meeting was held. The assemblage of such a vast number of people, declaring themselves on the brink of starvation was truly deplorable- a fact the truth of which we see no great reason to doubt, and we therefore feel compelled to call on the government to step forward at once with immediate--instant relief." Stimulated by hunger, hundreds of half-famished creatures, old and young, marched on the 21st into the little town of Carberry, in the county of Cork, carrying on their shoulders several instruments of husbandry, to denote their want of employment. They were met by the priest; who prevailed upon them to return, assuring them that every exertion was to be made for their relief, and warning them that the consequences of any attempt at outrage would recoil upon themselves. The Belfast Chronicle says, that "The total destruction of the potato crop is now evident, and, in consequence considerable excietement and speculation have arisen in our market, and all kinds of grain have considerably increased in value. Indian corn is selling at 10s to 20s per ton advance." And from another part of the newspaper: IRELAND- Hostility continues among the Irish people, towards Indian Corn- but increasing intelligence is gradually removing the prejudice. Turnips are in a sound state and will compensate somewhat for the potato crop, which is again a failure.

Thanks for the posting re: Michael H Hynes. Not sure if there is a connection with my line but what caught my attention was the reference to MORAN!!! I have a Hynes/Moran/Ginty connections in Westmeath. Does Westmeath feature in your research of HYNES/MORAN?? I was not aware that any of my HYNES went to America but it's possible my Patrick came to Australia and brother/cousins emigrated to the USA. My extent of research for your info is as follows: Patrick HYNES b. 1789 at Westmeath Co Ireland who married Ann DOYLE b. 1791 at Westmeath. They had children inc. Patrick Hynes (Jnr) b. 17.3.1815 at Westmeath Co. Patrick Jnr married Julia GINTY (Julia b. 7.5.1821 to parents John GINTY and Catherine MORAN). Patrick and Julia married circa 1830 - 1837 and had ?? children, only one known of, namely ANNIE / ANN HYNES b. circa 1837/1838 in Co Westmeath. Julia died in 1849. Patrick Jnr emig'd to Aust pre 3/1850 and there re-married, a Harriet Bailey, b. 26.9.1832 at Robertsbridge, Sussex, on 5.3.1850 at Morpeth, NSW. I estimate that Catherine MORAN was born circa 1800 in Co Westmeath to parents unknown. Sorry, I have no idea what Parish in Co Westmeath.

Hi Janet, There are over 100 Healy names listed in Griffiths for Mayo. There is only one Edmund. He is listed in the Union of Swineford, Parish of Aghamore. The Valuation for Swineford was done in 1856, so your Edward would have been only 10, and not a property holder. Do you have his father's name ? Good Luck, Jim

Looking for an Edward Healy, born in1846 in co. Mayo, can anyone do a lookup in griffiths valuation on healy. Thanks, Janet _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Was there a census for Ballina, Co. Mayo around 1860? I am looking for John and Bridget BROWN who lived in King Street, Ballina in 1866 (according to information on their son William's birth certificate). I am trying to find if they also had a daughter Mary born about 1854. Can anyone help? Many thanks Sonja Brown Manchester UK

Hello, This is my first time posting, I hope I give all the info needed. My maternal GG Grandfather Henry Arthur Walsh was born July 8, 1865 in Binghamstown to Thomas and Bridget (Rielly) Walsh. I think I just found a brother named John at the FHC today, same parents, same town, born Feb 23, 1864. Henry came to America when he was around 10 maybe 12 years old. He came with relatives and that is all we know. I can't find him in immigration records. He claimed he got his citizenship in 1880 in Hot Springs, South Dakota (per his 1946 voter registration record). I checked with the Gen Society of So. Dakota and they said it was highly unlikely and all the records were lost in a fire in 1905. Henry eventually ended up in the southern California desert town of Blythe, I think he had a hotel. He died in Santa Cruz Ca, in 1956. He married Alice Electa Jones of California. If SKS has any info on this family, please let me know. Thanks, Stephanie Cowman San Jose, California USA

After more than a decade of research I have finally traced some of my ancestors to Co. Mayo. My paternal great-grandfather was Richard O'Donnell - a landowner in Lugnafahy townland which is immediately south of Brocca [Brocagh], and is in Burrishoole Barony, civil parish of Kilmaclasser, County Mayo. He died - June 17, 1868 at Medlicott Street, Newport, Co. Mayo, Ireland as reported by his widow Bridget. John O'Donnell, one of Richard's sons, married an Anne O'Donnell of Newport, daughter of Charles O'Donnell. Charles was a landowner as well. A review of Griffiths Index shows that his land was probably one of three possible matches in Co. Mayo. All three townlands lie within the Barony of Erris and the Civil Parish of Kilmore. Those townlands are Barranagh (West), Barrettsplot (East) and Barrettsplot (West). My question to the list is - What do I do next? How do I go about finding more details regarding what specific land was owned by these men? Are there maps available with such detail or documents such as deeds etc. that will reveal more? Richard J. O'Donnell Melbourne, Florida, USA

Thank you to all of you who helped me out with the location of Corha-everyone on this list is great! Terry

Terry at [email protected] writes: << Can anyone tell me where Corha is? On Ellis Island records I find it spelled variously as Carha,Rahino,Castelbar & Corha,Rahens,Castlebar. >> Terry, I think the current spellings would be Carha, Raheens, Castlebar. The townland of Carha (Islandeady civil parish) is about 4 miles due west of busy, downtown Castlebar. The R 311 road splits the townland into a wooded 150-or-so acres between the R 311 and the R 312 to the north, and the remaining 350 acres to the south of the 311. There is one minor road in this larger section, with a dozen or so buildings along it. I don't think I could comment knowledgeably on the farming or stone masonry in the area, but Carha is definitely not the place for large, level fields. Sheep or cattle would seem more likely.

I have used a site extensively called Irish Genealogy of Connacht which gave access to the 1901 Census for Mayo. Now when I call it up I get a different website (Earthlink). Does anyone know what happened to this website or where I can get the 1901 census. Thanks for any help. Anne

First of all, "Thank-you" for all of you that helped me with my "Roy" problem. It sure explained a lot! I plan on getting a copy of "Where the Sun Sets" also. I'd like to tell you what I know of our "Mangan" family. Maybe we can find a connection! Our Michael Mangan (1884-1949) came from a large family, in "Roy," Mayo ... around 10 children. He came to the U. S. after his parents died (Patrick Mangan and Ann Kean). He brought his brother, Anthony "Tony" and sister, Bridget "Bea." They were younger than him. It was right after W.W.I, so, I'm guessing around 1918. Michael married Catherine Conway in 1920 (a Catholic Church in Chicago). They only had one child, my mother-in-law, Catherine "Kay." She married into the Fitzgerald/Brady Family and had seven children. Kay remembered an Uncle Ned and cousin Mary Catherine (a nurse -- she married a Gannon) Also, her other grandparents were Murphy's. Please e-mail me directly if any of this sounds familiar. Correction/additions are Welcome! Thanks, again! JoAnne Fitzgerald <[email protected]>
