I have received a death certificate for my gggrandfather that died in Aughnacloy from the GRONI. It was suggested he may have been buried at Crilly but I have no luck trying to find out. I think I gave you an email Address for the Presbyterian Church there I am sure they would tell you if there was a graveyard attached. I got my information to get the certificates from LDS microfilm so There must be civil records for there got the details for my gggrandmother the same way I spent many Saturday mornings looking at these old microfilms But I was rewarded she died 1868 and he died in 1877 Good luck Patricia New Zealand -----Original Message----- From: nir-tyrone-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nir-tyrone-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jo genealogy BT Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2008 8:21 PM To: nir-tyrone@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NIR-TYRONE] NIR-TYRONE Digest, Vol 3, Issue 138 Hi Jim There are no Cobain or variant headstones in Aughnacloy C of I graveyard in the middle of Aughnacloy.

Hi Jo: Many thanks for your very informative, and very helpful, email. However, I do have several other questions. 1) Are there any other Cemeteries, within an approx 5-10 mile radius of Skey, where Presbyterian inhabitants in the 1700's might be buried ? 2) Was it common for Presb farmers to be buried on their own farms, rather than in a church cemetery ? 3) I have two 1748 Leases for the following Cobeans: Thomas, Joseph & Samuel; and John & James, all of Skey. I do not believe any of these Cobeans emigrated. Where are they buried ? There was also a James still alive for the Griffiths Valuation. The above lease also includes a son John, aged 2 years, thus born ca 1746. 4) I believe the above Thomas (or John) Cobean, may be my ggg grand father, as my gg grand father, who emigrated to Ontario, in 1823, was also a Thomas, born ca 1793, at Skey. My g grand father was a John Cobean, possibly named after his grand father (his Baptism shows up in the Aughnacloy Register on 06 Jan 1821). 5) A John Cobean, who I believe was born ca 1752 at Skey also emigrated to Ontario, with probable sons Thomas and John. Thus, I am seeking burial/death info on all John & Thomas Cobeans in all Tyrone, close to Skey. 6) Separately, I am seeking burial info on any "McCamey's", at Agahoo. Again, many, many thanks for all your help, assistance, and guidance.

I had a book, on loan from the British Library for some research. Titled, "An original History of the City of Gloucester," by Thomas Dudley Fosbrooke, While looking through the Epitaphs I came across the following and thought it may be of interest to someone on the list. Page 184 Verbatim: <<<<St. Nicholas Church, Middle Aile Entry 49 Arms: on a fess three buckles, in base a thistle. John Leslie, Esq., of Tircarnach, of the parish of Donnahady, in the baron [y] of Strabane and county of Tirone, in the Kingdom of Ireland, died August 10, 1717 aged 44>>>>> Hope this may help someone.

Hi List: In a previous email, I posted a summary of Cobean/Cobane Baptisms and Marriages, at Aughnacloy. However, PRONI do NOT have a register for any deaths/burials at Aughnacloy. I was wondering if there is a Cemetery, at Aughnacloy, and if so, is there a Register for these burials any place ? Have any Head Stones been photographed, and put on line, for Aughnalcoy, or a related cemetery ? If there is no cemetery at Aughnacloy, what would the closest cemetery be for Presbyterians, for the 1700-1850 time frame ? In searching other ancestors in Ireland, I have found that there is typically one person who administers, and is knowledgeable, about such a list. The key is to locate such a person, associated with Aughnacloy. I am interested in Cobean/Cobane/Cobain burials deaths for the 1700-1850 time frame. Any help, and/or suggestions on the above, would be deeply appreciated. I will be in Aughnacloy in late September, and would be pleased to photo any head stones, that are still in the cemetery. Another question. What would be the current newspaper be, that is most commonly read in Aughnacloy ? Kindest Regards Jim White Naples, Florida

Hi List: Firstly, I would like to thank everyone, who has provided info on Cobeans from Tyrone, particularly, Skey TL, as well as, how, and where to locate other possible info, not heretofore available. It was confirmed that the only Marriage and Baptism info available, was from PRONI, as the C of I, and Presbyterian Churches, would not allow LDS to film their records. Based on the above, I contracted a lady researcher who searched the PRONI records for all Cobean/Cobane Marriage & Baptism Records, from their inception to ca 1825 (when my ancestors emigrated to Ontario, Canada). The info below, is a summary of her findings, of all Cobean/Cobane Marriages and Baptisms, at Aughnacloy Presbyterian, and Carnteel COI churches. To my knowledge, there are no other BM Records available in Tyrone. There was also a review of available Wills. If anyone has any additional feedback on the Cobeans/Cobanes of Tyrone, I would appreciate hearing from you. Regards Jim White Naples, Florida SEARCH OF PRESBYTERIAN AUGHNACLOY AND CHURCH OF IRELAND CARNTEEL RECORDS Researched for Jim White We agreed that I should carry out a search of Presbyterian Aughnacloy baptismal and marriage records from their earliest survival in 1812 until around 1823 when your ancestor John Cobean/Cobane/Cobain and family emigrated and of Church of Ireland Carnteel records from their earliest survival in 1805 until around 1823 for evidence of the Cobean family. Presbyterian Aughnacloy [MIC/1P/38] Marriages 1812-1822 Although catalogued as surviving until 1827, marriages after 1822 were missing. 18th March 1812 John McKee of Sky married Jane Cobane of Sky 20th October 1816 John Carson of Glencull married Anne Cobane of Lisginny 14th December 1818 William McKenzie of Derrycreevy married Sarah Cobane of Sky 19th February 1819 Thomas Cobane of Sky married Elizabeth Cobane of Sky 2nd December 1819 Alexander Cobane of Sky married Eleanor Bell of Drumfad Witnesses: John Cobane of Sky William Dunbar of Drumfad 20th November 1820 John Cobane of Crossboy married Letitia Montgomery of Tullybryan Witnesses: Hugh McCreary of Crossboy James Montgomery of Tullybryan 18th October 1821 John Cobain of Sky and Maria Stephenson were married Witnesses: Rev James McWilliams and James Simpson of Aughnacloy 1st August 1822 Thomas Brown of Killineery and Margaret Cobain of Drumcullion Witnesses: David Cairns of “do” and James Wilson of Aughnacloy The only John Cobaen of Skey we see marrying is in October 1821 when he married Maria Stephenson. We see a Thomas Cobean of Skey marrying a Elizabeth Cobean of Skey in February 1819. Presbyterian Aughnacloy [MIC/1P/38] Baptisms 1812-1827 Thomas Cobane, Sky John his son baptized 6th January 1821 John Cobane, Sky Nancy his daughter baptized 15th April 1821 John Cobane, Sky James his son baptized 9th September 1823 John Cobane, Sky Samuel his son baptized 10th November 1823 John Cobane, Sky Mary Anne his daughter baptized 11th December 1824 John Cobane, Sky Robert his son baptized 24th March 1825 James Falls and Anne Cobane James their son baptized 12th April 1826 Baptismal records have survived from 1812 but we do not see Cobane baptisms until the year 1821. Church of Ireland Carnteel [MIC/583/29] Marriages 1805-1822 No Cobean (or variant spelling) marriages during these years. Church of Ireland Carnteel Baptisms 1805-1825 [MIC/583/27 and 29] The only Cobean baptisms during these years were as follows: William son of Jane Cobane of Skie and [name crossed out] of Glenroe in this Parish was born November 19th 1821 and Christened December 9th 1821 James of William Cobane and Sarah Johnson his wife of Mullaghs Bane in this Parish was born September 27th and Christened 23rd November 1823 Robert son of Jane Cobane of Knocknarney in this Parish was born 12th and baptised 24th September 1825 Elizabeth daughter of William Booth and Anne Cobane his wife of Tullyvar in this Parish was born 28th December 1825 and baptised 25th January 1826 The name of the father had been crossed out in several entries in these registers where the mother’s name appeared first. Comments I searched the Will calendars (which date from 1858 only) for Cobean Wills in the hope that surviving Wills might help to establish family relationships between your family in Skey. Unfortunately there were no references to formal Wills, but it is estimated that only around five per cent of the population – apart from the wealthy – did leave formal Wills which went to the Probate Courts. The townland of Skey and many of the other townland addresses in Presbyterian Aughnacloy records are, in fact, closer to Presbyterian Ballygawley than Aughnalcoy. As I mentioned in an email dated 30th April 2008, Presbyterian Aughnalcoy and Presbyterian Ballygawley churches were united from 1789 until 1829. Church of Ireland Ballygawley records have not survived from early enough to be of help. I hope this has been of interest, even though results have probably not been what you expected. __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3191 (20080616) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
