If you can't find a society that deals purely with Irish genealogy, you might be able to find another society -- near you or within one of your localities of interest -- that also has an Irish branch.

Thanks for your reply. I have his papers - just says Ireland - as to his age - the form actually states " 26 years - or thereabouts" the underlined is actually printed as part of the document. I have dates of birth on his death certificate (supplied by his daughter), his marriage license (supplied by himself) U.S. Census' which do not match and have checked with LDS records - There are still 6 of us - his grandchildren here in the US and I'm hoping to find some relatives still in Ireland. Mayo would be logical since he married a girl from Mayo - here in the US Rosemarie

Births were required to be recorded in Ireland starting in 1864. However, you need to know where he was born to check the lists. Latter Day Saints (Mormon) microfilmed all the records and they are available but they are listed by year and county. Have you tried finding his naturalization papers to find out exactly where he was from?

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Co. Mayo Wednesday, September 4, 1850 DEATH OF MRS. ORME OF OWENMORE It is with unfeigned regret that we have this day to record the demise of this truly amiable, benevolent, and deeply lamented lady. The melancholy event, caused by an attack of fever, took place on Friday last at Owenmore, the residence of her husband, William Orme, Esq. Mrs. Orme was in the prime of life, being in her 35th year She has left a large and highly respected circle of relatives and acquaintances to deplore her early removal from this world of troubles and disappointments. Her remains were conveyed to the family burying ground, Moygownagh, on Monday, attended by a vast concourse of the respectability of this neighbourhood. DEATH OF THE REV. MR. MORRIS, P.P. With unfeigned regret we have to announce the death of this gentleman, which melancholy event took place at Westport on Saturday last. The deceased was remarkable for his urbanity of manner, gentlemanlike demeanour and an absence of bigotry, which in too many instances distinguishes his contemporaries. He devoted his time in Christian efforts to sow peace and good will amongst his parishioners.-- Mayo Constitution. MARRIED On Thursday last, in the parish Church, Ardnaree, by the Rev. Arthur Moore, Mr. James Mathews to Miss Margaret Shannon, both of this town. MEETING OF GUARDIANS BALLINA UNION - This usual weekly meeting of the Guardians of this Union was held on Saturday in the Board Room of the Workhouse, F. Howley, Esq., in the chair. The other Guardians present were - Captain John Knox, Mr. Paget, Mr. A. Knox, Mr. J. Gore, Mr. H. Joynt, Mr. Malley, Major J.F. Knox, Mr. Jones, Captain Atkinson, Mr. M'Culloch, Mr. J. Knox, and Mr. Wills.- Captain Hamilton, Inspector, was in attendance. A letter was read from the Poor Law Commissioners stating that they were not prepared to sanction the reduction of the schoolmaster's salary, which they did not consider too high for that officer; and that the salaries of the chaplains, who were appointed under their sealed order, would have their consideration. The Guardians were anxious that some arrangement should be entered into to prevent the removal of the articles of furniture and clothing which had been sold in the Ardnaree Auxiliary workhouse on Friday, at the suit of Mr. George Smyth Malley, who also had an execution on the furniture of the Union Workhouse, and proposed that Captain Hamilton, on getting a receipt in full from Mr. Malley, would pay to him the £338 he had on hands for the purpose of discharging that gentleman's amount to the 29th of September last, exclusive of costs and interest, and that they (the Guardians) should give a guarantee for the balance of his claim. Captain Hamilton said that his hands were so tied up by the Commissioners; who were prevented by the Treasury order from paying law costs and interest out of the money advanced to Distressed Unions, that he feared he could not take a receipt in full unless it was a bona fide transaction; but he requested the Guardians not to suppose he had any wish to throw any difficulty in the way of settling with Mr. Malley. Captain Atkinson thought that the conversation on the subject should be strictly private. The Chairman requested the reporters not to take note of that part of their proceedings. The reporters then stood up to retire, when the Chairman remarked that it was not necessary for them to leave the Board room. The reporter from the CHRONICLE said that what to report and what to omit reporting should have been left to their option and that he considered it better for them to withdraw, as the request of the Guardians through their Chairman interfered too much with the liberty of the Press in such matters. On the return of our reporter to the Board room the following resolution was proposed by Mr. Jones and seconded by Captain Atkinson:- "Resolved - That our Clerk do make out lists of the different paupers on our Workhouse properly chargeable to the Killala Union, distinguishing the townlands and electoral divisions, and that such lists be handed to the different relieving officers of Killala Union, with an intimation that on this day week the different paupers on our Workhouse will be sent out from it. Our Board have reluctantly come to this resolution in consequence of our repeated applications to the Killala Board for funds and their refusal or inability to pay same. The Board, without at present going into the question of the liabilities of the Killala Union at the time of separation, have made calculations of the monies expended by this Board since then on the current account and fined that the monies received from the Killala Board fall very far short of the expenditure." Mr. Gore proposed and Mr. Paget seconded, as an amendment,' that the considerations of Mr. Jones' resolution be postponed until the 29th of September next, and that, if a total separation have not then taken place between the Killala and this Union that paupers belonging to the former be forthwith discharged." The movers and seconded being the only Guardians who voted for the amendment the original resolution was consequently carried. Mr. Gore them moved that his amendment be placed on the minutes. This was not agreed to, the majority of the Guardians being of opinion that a rejected resolution would not be placed on the minutes. The following report of the Committee appointed at the previous meeting to enter into arrangements relative to the renting of land for the training of young pauper inmates of the Workhouses to agricultural pursuits was laid before the Board:- "We beg to state to the Board that having this day examined the different fields in the neighbourhood of the Ardnaree Auxiliary Workhouse, we consider the field adjoining Mr. Joynt's and lying between the Bunree and Mill roads, is the most advantageously situated and the one which for many reasons we most strongly recommend. Having agreed on the land arranged about the term and rent. The former could be had at twenty-one or thirty-one years' lease if desired, and the latter at £1 16s. 6d. per acre for the twenty-five acres required. This rent, taking into consideration the quality of the soil and its contiguity to the town, is a very fair and moderate one. We would most strongly urge that this farm, under the superintendence of an active and intelligent agriculturist, with the cordial cooperation of this Board promises to be productive of most important benefit not only to the paupers but to the ratepayers themselves as well as an ornament to the town of Ballina. We beg to suggest that should the proposed site be agreed on that the arrangements commence from the 29th of September next. It was then ordered that this report be inserted on the minutes, and that the attention of the Commissioners be requested to the memorial of the Guardians on the 7th of December last on this matter. State of Workhouse, Week ending August 24. No. in Workhouse as per last return: 2970 Admitted 17 Discharged: 258 Died 15 Remaining on above date 2614 Cathy Joynt Labath Ireland Old News http://www.IrelandOldNews.com/

Rosemarie, Check out the Turlough Civil Parish (also RC parish) which is near Castlebar. My paternal great grandmother was a Kearney (Crimlin/Crumlin townland) but I have no more info on that family. My father would go see a man in Brooklyn, NY in the early 1950s and I believe his name was Patrick Keaney. I just recall my father referring to him as "old man Kearney". Don't know if he was married, though. I'm away now and can't access my info I've also seen the name spelled Carney, Carny, Kearny.

Civil Registration of Births, Marriages (Catholic) and Deaths became mandatory in 1864. In the early years civil registration is incomplete. All are indexed by quarters and the name of the district, rather than the county is used. Go to www.groireland.ie/faqs.htm. If you want to do it yourself, the Family History Library has the Index and the certificates on microfilm.

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Co. Mayo Wednesday, September 4, 1850 EMIGRANTS FROM WORKHOUSES The following communication from the Poor Law Commissioners was read t the meeting of the Guardians of this Union, on Saturday and affords a gratifying proof of the beneficial effects of the judicious training of young minds. It is to be regretted that so many intelligent young persons as there are at present in our Workhouses cannot be rendered more useful members of society than caged up in those places, where after a certain age, they will lose their energies, and become permanently indisposed and unfitted for a better change: "Poor Law Commission Office, Dublin, "24th August, 1850. "SIR - I am directed by the Commissioners for administering the Laws for Relief of the Poor in Ireland, to state, for the information of the Board of Guardians of the Ballina Union, that they have received a communication from the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners, enclosing extracts from a report of the Surgeon Superintendent of the shop "Panama" in which some orphan girls were sent out as emigrants from the workhouse of Ballina Union, and from other Unions in Ireland to Sydney, in New South Wales, in September last: "In this report the Surgeon Superintendent speaks highly of the conduct of the emigrants generally and I am o enclose for the information of the Guardians an extract from the report referred to. "The number of orphan girls sent out from Ballina Union by the ship "Panama" was 40." "At the same time, the Surgeon Superintendent states that one of the girls sent out form the above Union, named Mary Barnes, is afflicted with fits, which, he is convinced, she has been subject to for years, if not from her birth, and he observes that he feels assured that she will never be able to obtain a living. "The Commissioners have addressed the Medical Officer of the Workhouse on the subject, in reference to his examination and certificate as to this girl. "By order of the Commissioners, "W. STANLEY, Secretary. "To the Clerk of the Guardians, "Ballina Union." EXTRACT OF REPORT REFERRED TO "Of the conduct of the emigrants generally I cannot speak too highly, and considering that most of them had been brought up in unions, and thrown as strangers together, it was wonderful how soon they became obedient to whatever orders were given them, and with what avidity they entered into each others amusements." SALARIES OF WORKHOUSE OFFICERS At the meeting of the Guardians of this Union on next Saturday the reduction of the medical officer's salary will be re-considered, agreeable to a notice of motion to that effect. The Poor Law Commissioners have as yet, we believe, expressed their opinion only in reference to the schoolmaster, whose salary they do not consider too high for the office he holds, and the chaplains, who are appointed under their zeal, and the reduction of whose salary must have the sanction of the Commissioners, which they are not yet prepared to give. We have already given our opinion of the wholesale reductions made by the Guardians on last Saturday week. We shall now confine ourselves to a few observations in reference to the Doctor's salary. Here we have a gentleman, whose profession and duties entitle him to the highest salary given to a Workhouse staff, placed below at least two other officers in the scale of remuneration; for it cannot be denied that £80 per annum, without rations and apartments, is comparatively small. We do not mean by this to insinuate that the salaries of other officers are too high. On the contrary, we believe they are not sufficiently paid for their arduous and responsible duties. But the Doctor's salary being the first to be re-considered by the Board, we wish to lay before the Guardians what they appear to have hastily overlooked in their economizing zeal. With some of the members of the Ballina Board, talent, a liberal education, and the expense and assiduity required in a preparation for the medical profession are of no weight; they rather appear to compare these things with the callings of the trader or working mechanic, and accordingly set a value upon them. However, the portion of the Ballina Board, we are happy to think, is in the minority, and a second deliberation on the subject of reduction of salaries will be more favourable than the first gone through in haste. Furthermore, it must be taken into consideration that Doctor Devlin has been attending daily, for the last six months, an average number of patients in the Workhouse Infirmary of upwards of 550, and latterly he has the care of more than 70 fever patients. In justice his salary should have been raised and not brought down to the paltry sum of £80 a year; and we trust that the Guardians will at their next meeting adopt a proper remuneration for their medical officer, whose entire time, to the exclusion of his private practice, is occupied in their service.

ToWhomItMayInterest: With all of the famine orphan discussion, was there an Irish Famine orphan children's movement to the USA?? Is there any data on this subject? ie: My Joyce's who migrated to Monson MA USA: Bridget at 9 years old, her sister Kate at 11 years old & brother Martin at 6 years old arrived in the USA (NYC) in 1859 (I realize that the FAMINE had largely subsided by then). They may have been orphaned. Possible Joyce family members have not been located in Ireland (Co Mayo) or the USA. .....
