For anyone with an interest, I have scanned a copy of the May 1818 Rent Rolls of the Marquis of Sligo on my web site. They are gif files, scanned not keyed, so I can't index them or anything. But you can view them via your web browser. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mcging/sligorents.html Now, does anyone know if the rent rolls of George Moore of Moore Hall are available?

Whilst doing look ups for specific requests from listers, I have been making notes of statistics. Although most of the Irish immigrants living in England, Scotland and Wales in the Spring of 1881 (almost a million) only gave Ireland as their place of birth, some were helpful and gave the County, some even more helpful gave the town, although not a very high percentage. The following statistics do not include those children of the family who were born in UK following emigration, nor any spouses born in the UK, nor, of course, those who managed to avoid being counted at all. Those who gave Mayo as their place of birth are shown in most parts of UK, but the overwhelming majority were in the North especially in Lancashire, showing that the industrial centres and coal mines of the north were their main target, possibly reached via Liverpool. The figures showing birthplace as Mayo are as follows : Lancashsire & NW England 5063 Northern England border counties and vessels, 448 Yorkshire and N E England 2757 Midlands (Central England) 2777 London and S E England 755 East Anglia and Lincolnshire 92 S W England 138 Wales 155 Scotland 501 I've managed to find quite a few Mayo families for listers, but I do need as much information as possible to narrow down the search, as blanket searches get too many results to be able to find and forward the census return details.

Reposting these links, in case newcomers have not seen them before Mary G Two sites are useful: Andrew J. Morris Genealogy has a website which includes "Irish Genealogy Answers", an 11 page doc. which gives all kinds of tips including explaining Griffiths. www.genealogy.org/~ajmorris/ For Griffiths website itself, www.ceres.dti.ne.jp/~pyms/griffith.htm which gives details of how to use Griffiths, and includes a link to a look up service, county by county, with e mail addresses of volunteers who will look up names or landholdings, 1848 to 1864. Only the property holder will be listed, but it could give you the reference to someone and the name of the property, which you can use to search a library hard copy to give more details of the holding, details of neighbouring properties etc.

Listers may find this useful when looking for people who may have wandered backwards and forwards beween Ireland and England.

Trying to get info on my great grandparents- Richard Gaughan and Rose Kyle (Ballina, Mayo) They had three children: Julia Gaughan married James White (Edinburgh)- born about 1900 ?? Richard 'Dick' Gaughan - local fiddler Mary Gaughan Any help or advice appreciated- willing to commission research but I do not have much extra money to commit to the task- four children in school???? Much appreciated Regards RDC

There is presently a site which offers commercial assistance with applications and information on legal requirements -- i.e. Irish Citizenship Project to be found at: http://www.uslawfirm.com/ Previously there was a much more detailed source of information, including how legal challenges had changed the interpretation of U.S. Law on Dual Citizenship from a position where accepting foreign citizenship was tantamount to renouncing U.S. Citizenship to the present position where one must explicitly and overtly renounce U.S. citizenship to lose it. Unfortunately, that site -- http://www.twoh.com/citizen.htm -- has disappeared from the web.

I have a marriage between Katherine HALLIGAN and Michael GRIFFIN, whose son Peter GRIFFIN was baptised in Claremorris in 1847, born Gorteenmore. There were at least two more children, Bridget and Michael, who appear as sponsors of Peter GRIFFIN's children. Peter had two wives, 1st Ann JEFFERS, Feb 1872 Mayo Abbey, daughter of James Jeffers of Tawnylough. 6 children, all gone away or married by 1901 census, 2nd Ann CLARKE, at Kilcolman church , Claremorris Dec 1861, daughter of Thomas Clarke of Birchfield, 7 children, all at Gorteenmore in 1901, at least two emigrated to USA. Edward and Ellen. Ellen lived in Brooklyn and was married to a Bernard LAVIN. Edward went to New Jersey. I have extensive details of the GRIFFIN, CLARKE families, but not Kate HALLIGAN'S family. Do these fit in with anyone else's research please? Does anyone have HALLIGAN at all, which townland/Parish? Mary G

GEOHAN - GAHAGEN - GOGGIN - GOGGEN - GAUGHEN - GAUGHEN - GEHEGHAN - GOHAN - GOWAN - GEEGAN - GEGAN - I have come across all of these and probably more than I remember in my own similar search. Good luck. Piketre

Dear Friends, I have recently learned of an Irish name that's connected to my relatives who left Ireland after the Famine and went to England. This surname is in a church record. It is: GEGIN In looking through my Griffiths Valuation CD, I find very few with that name so I think it could be spelled differently. Does anyone know of alternate spellings of the name GEGIN? Thank you. Mary L. Casey in Michigan, USA

From the Book of Irish Names again: Maurice, used in Ireland among the Anglo Normans. It was from the native Irish Muirgheas, "se-choice". Moss and Mossy are diminutives.

If you think you may have Irish immigrants living in England, Scotland or Wales in 1881, I now have the 1881 census index and will try to find them for you. Not foolproof, as many Irish immigrants travelled back and forth, working seasonally, went back home when they had enough money to set themselves up, or to get married, or enough to move on to USA, Canada, NZ and Oz. Some just avoided being enumerated at all. I haven't time to do blanket name searches though, as there will be hundreds of results for every surname. Please give full name, estimated year of birth, and if possible, likely place of census, or region (i.e. London, or Scotland, or Northumberland etc.) Unfortunately, very few gave actual place of birth in Ireland, but you might be lucky. Please contact me off list. Mary G
