My grandmother, Mary Lee, came from the area of Limerick near the Ballyhoura Mountains in the late 1800's. She was from the dot called Balyfeerode which is near Cullinane, Kilfinane. Anyone looking at similar names or areas?

I have added a New England Irish Surname Registry to my website. If will include all the states covered by our mailing list (NH, VT, MA, RI and CT) plus ME. Because there is another Rootsweb list covering the Maine Irish, it couldn't be included for the list but since it logically belongs within the sphere of our discussion, I have included the state for the Surname Registry. You can access the registry by going to the mailing list's webpage (URL at the end of this message). Go down the webpage to near the bottom and under New-England-Irish Links, you will find a link to the registry. If you are wondering if it is worth your time to submit a name, I can only relate that I have been personally contacted by cousins I have never met through the various registries and message boards where I have entered family data. Now I have met some in person and when you get 3rd cousins working together on the same branch, it is amazing what new information you find. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

It's spelled COLRAIN, between HEATH and LEYDEN in Franklin County, MA. Joan There is still a Colraine, Ma.(not sure of the spelling) but it is way up near N.H./Vt. area and is out in the country. We used to go there to motorcycle races some years ago. It was a beautiful area of New England. Could it be the same place? Helen

Am I correct in the fact that the Londonderry people were Scots-Irish? One of my great grandfathers was one who came here in early 1700 with other Presbyterian Congregations. He was a Rev. _____(?) Hopkins, don't know his first name. He came with his congregation and his daughter Esther was born here in NH. Esther married James Thompson whose father James (or Jason) was also a Presbyterian Minister. I thought they might have come with Rev. McGregor but I can't prove any of it. I'd love to hear from anyone who might help me with this family. James and Esther's son Samuel Thompson was born in 1749 in NH and served in the Rev. War and is buried in Orleans Co NY, died 18 Dec.1839. Thanks a million.

I am researching Martin McHugh & Margaret Cottingham. They were born in Ireland, have not found where but married in Lowell MA in 1861. I have found 7 children of theirs but not Martin or Margarets death dates. Most of the people I have in the area were buried in St.Patricks cemetery, which is on the web also. I have guesses for parents for Martin I think it is John & Margaret for Margaret I think it is Hugh & Bridget. I am sure there is so much to learn about them, but I haven't found it. Martin & Margarets daughter Margaret born about 1861 Lowell married Bernard Reynolds (parents may be John & Mary Ann Moran) he born abt 1853 Ireland married 1881 Lowell. Bernard is said to have been a Barber. They were buried in St.Patricks Cemetery. He 1918 she 1924. Any relatives or info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Diane

I have since been given information on a David Borland who lived very early in Londonderry NH, probably the David Borland who was one of the grantees of the short-lived township of "Coulraine" NH in 1726. Does anyone know of this place? You might try going to this site: http://davidrumsey.com/ It is the David Runsey Historical Map Collection shich was highly recommended at a recent local geneology society meeting for problems just like yours.

Hello, I thought I'd mention that the Scotch-Irish settlers in Londonderry, NH, has been discussed several times over the years on the MA and NH Lists, and more recently on the Scotch-Irish List. So, you can search the archives of those Lists for information. Betty (near Lowell, MA) New List created on Feb. 1: CAN-USA-MIGRATION For Genealogy researchers, please remember to check the archives of the Lists & Boards for both your surnames and place-names.

Hello No, I can`t make a connection. My William BRENNAN was b. in Kilkenny abt 1850. I think his parents were Patrick and Mary ----- BRENNAN. I don`t have anything on his siblings. I have done a lot of research on the children of William BRENNAN and Catherine O`HARE. There seems to be a family connection to the names TREACY and QUIGLEY. Good luck.

Oh my God! You can knock me over with a feather. No one has ever been able to help me with these folks. I would love to learn anything I can and that is for sure. It will give me something to go on.

I've come across the name SKELLY /SKELLEY in Providence, Rhode Island. I'm not related at all... just happen to have this information because I follow the MULDOWNEY families.... Edward MULDOWNEY and Johanna Skelly were married in Ireland, about 1875. The information I was provided is: He (Edward) and his wife, Johanna immigrated to the US from Liverpool aboard the ship "SS Nevada" and arrived in the Port of New York on 6 December 1876. Edward was listed on the passenger list as 30 years of age, a laborer, accompanied by his wife, "Joh. A", 20 years of age. Joanna died 11 August 1924 at the Home of the LIttle Sisters, Pawtucket Rhode Island. According to the death record, her parents were Peter Skelly and Julia Dunn. She was said to be about 92 years old; but in my notes, I guessed her age to be more like 74 years (probably from census records....) Both Edward and Joanna are buried at St. Francis Cemetery, Pawtucket, R.I. Unfortunately, none of the records I consulted give a clue as to their home in Ireland. I can tell you that the Muldowney name is most prevalent in Co. Kilkenny, followed by counties of Laois, and Mayo, and our Muldowneys were from Roscommon. A MERE guess might lead to Roscommon - I believe that the Skelly and Dunn names may be found there... among other places, I'm sure....

My grandmother, Katie Laurie Redden, was of Redden from Protestant Ireland. She was actually born, 1898, in PEI, Canada. Her father was Thomas Grant Redden. He ran out on the family and Katie's mother Ada Shaw went to Boston to find work as a seamstress. Katie had a brother ,Grant, and a sister who died young. Young Grant was suposed to have worked in stained glass on the North Church in Boston. Katie married into a Farrington line. Any information ? This is a wall for me.

I have been trying to find ancestors of my gggrandparents John Kelly and Catherine Keating. John was born in Manchester England of Irish parents in 1825. His parents are John Kelly and Elizabeth Ebbs. He came to this country 1842 or 1845 according to census records. He next appears in Grafton MA, where his daughter Elizabeth is born in 1856 and his daughter, Julie in 1857. In 1859 he is in Putnam CT, where daughter Catherine is born in 1859 and daughter Honora (my ggrandmother) is born. He served in the Civil War from CT and died there in 1910. I have been unable to find the marriage of John and Catherine. She died in 1881 in Putnam CT and all I know of her is that she was from County Cork. There appears to be a brother, Michael Keating, who was living with them in 1880 in Putnam. Would anyone be researching these families or have any hints of how I might gain more information. Thank you Judy
