Hello All. I have ward maps of the city from 1874. Part of SAwtell appears in the 6th ward, south part. I cannot tell which other ward it moves into-- I have just gone through the maops with no luck. I will check again later for you, just in case. You might contact the Cuy Cty Archives; they have a research for which streets were in which wards....

Dennis - I have an 1860 and 1880 Ward map for Cleveland. Your address at both dates would seem to be Ward 6, so I would assume e it would also be Ward 6 in 1870.

For Dennis Murphy -- Suggest you try the following site on the Net to find the townland you mentioned -- the Irish Townland database: http://www.seanruad.com/ As for your Councilman relative, you might contact the main library in Cleveland, and see if they have a "Bio" file of prominent citizens, usually made up of newspaper clippings on politicians, union leaders, prominent clergy and acamedicians, etc. I've had excellent results with this approach in California and Seattle. In each case the materials were in the department that had microfilimed/microfiched newspapers, etc., rather than the genealogy or family history sections. I got about five pages on my "lost" grandfather, that has led back about three more generations, helped me find the family homes in England and Ireland, back to about 1800, etc. Can't say what Cleveland has, but its worth a try. Good luck, Tim

Hi Listers, I recently received a note from a relative that said my great-uncle, "Joseph Henry Egan, married Sophia Miller in 1905 at St. Peter's Church (Lutheran), Cleveland, Ohio." The 1910 U.S. Census showed Joseph was married for 3 years which would indicate a 1906 or 1907 marriage. Would anyone know if there was a St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Cleveland during the 1905-1910 timeframe? Switchboard.com shows a St Peter & St Paul Lutheran Church at 13030 Madison Ave, Cleveland, OH. Also shown is a St Peter's Lutheran Church located at 18000 Van Aken Blvd, Cleveland, OH. Could either of these be the same church as the St. Peter's refered to in the note I recieved? Many thanks, Joe Egan San Diego

Rechecked the copy of the letter from Ireland dated August 21, 1876 to a Miss Mary Murphy. The addresses is given as 91 Sawfill Avenue, Cleveland. Though the handwriting is rather legible, I believe Carolyn Corcoran is correct in assuming they meant Sawtell, not Sawfill. James O'Donnell was kind enough to suggest that the address might have been in Ward 6 by 1880. Since I have only a copy of the 1870 Census for Cuyahoga County, can anyone speculate if the ward number would be the same a decade earlier? As there are many Mary Murphys listed, I am trying to better define this particular one. Letter came from a Michael Murphy, Mary's uncle, from Cloonloughane, Ireland. Can anyone place that particular townland in Ireland? It's likely in Mayo or Sligo but I need the civil parish if it can be identified. Thanks to all on the list that have helped so far; the Irish are indeed the most generous folks on earth!

I've been trying to find some biographical information about a former City Councilman in Cleveland. Peter GOLDRICK was elected to the City Council in 1875 as the representative from the 5th Ward and served for 2 years. He died on May 10, 1886. I am trying to locate some personal information about him -- such as the county he came from in Ireland and the names of his siblings who also lived in Cleveland. Thanks to a very kind person on this list, I have his obituaries which only give information about his death, his funeral and his pall bearers but nothing about him personally, other than that 2 of his children preceded him in death. A group of former and present councilmen met in the council chambers and proceeded in a body to St. John's Cathedral for his funeral. I think some of them may have been pall bearers, because none of them appear to have been family. It seems to me he must have been fairly prominent, so there must be SOME information on him somewhere. I found an old article which states that he was a member of the Hibernian Guards which enlisted in the Civil War, but he is not listed on the Roster for Co. "B" of the 8th OVI. Can anyone give me suggestions as to some other sources which might contain a bit more biographical information? Thanks... Janet in N.J.

Is there a name associated with this request? I have census indexes and actual censuses for 1870 and 1880 censuses. I could try to find a person if you have a name ... --Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Murphy <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 1:36 AM Subject: Need Help from List > Looking for the Ward number or other location for a 61 Sawfill (Street) in > 1876 Cleveland. > > Can anyone help? > > > Dennis Murphy > [email protected] > > Murphy's Public House > http://murphy.genealogy.org > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 10:00 AM > Subject: OH-CLEVELAND-IRISH-D Digest V00 #118 > > > > >

Joe: Your recent post to this list caught my interest in that you mention a Michael Murphy from County Sligo, among other names common to my family. There are other similarities as well, with one of my known Murphy ancestors having immigrated during the 1860-62 time frame according to US Census records. And finally, the baptismal name, Michael, was and remains prevalent within the family. In addition, descendants of my direct line MURPHY family married into no less than four other Murphy lines from Cuyahoga County, Northern Ohio and one from Erie, PA. This has all led to a bit of a nightmare in regards to research but I have managed to collect quite a bit on the earliest Murphys of Cuyahoga County and Ohio. Check out my web site below for many Murphy databases. Regarding the bits of information you shared with the list, I have some questions that may help me to better pinpoint my Sligo roots. First off, I tried to look up your "Doocsghny" townland and found no such spelling. There was a "Dooycaghny" in the Barony of Tireragh, Parish of Castleconnor, and in the Ballina Poor Law Union. My question is, do you have another spelling and/or could the aforementioned be the townland for your letter from Michael Murphy? While I have many Murphy's of Cuyahoga County that connect with County Mayo, your query ranks among a very few that indicate any connection to County Sligo. For this reason, I would very much like to correspond with you and perhaps share our MURPHY data. Please respond off list if you are interested.

I'm new to the list (and "lists" in general) and just learning the protocol. My MURPHY ancestors immigrated from Ballina (Ballinaugh), Mayo, Ireland in 1861/3. I don't know their Port of Entry, but family lore says that they acquired boats and traveled up the St. Lawrence with several other families to Canandignia (sp?), New York, where they wintered. It was a severe winter and they lost several of their party. In the spring, they loaded the boats and continued their journey to Cleveland, where they settled. Sometime in the 1860/70's they resided at 91 Sawfill Avenue, Cleveland, OH. The fathers name that I have is "Michael", but I have some conflicting evidence; ie, a letter dated 1874 from an "Uncle" Michael Murphy of Doocsghny, Sligo, Ireland, inquiring as to the well being of the immigrant Murphys. The mother was named Margaret. Their daughters were: Mary MURPHY, b.9-8-1851,Ballina, m. 1877 in Cleveland to Anton SCHNEIDER of French Creek, Avon Township, Lorain County, OH., d. 2-14-1920-St. Paul, Neosho, KS. The newly married couple immediately migrated to Osage Mission (now St. Paul), KS. Julia MURPHY, m. GIEL, d. Lakewood, OH. Nell MURPHY, m. McCANN. Macy MURPHY, m.1877 Their son was nicknamed "Pat". To my knowledge, this is my only Irish line and the parents of my g.gm, Mary MURPHY are "End of the Line" individuals. I have a lot of info on Mary MURPHY's and Anton SCHNEIDER's descendants and some info on Anton's Ancestors. Joe Schneider, California

I just found the flyer from Summit Co. Probate Court. Death records were not kept until 1867-- so it looks like we will have to hope that there is an existing headstone in a cemetery. It will be tomorrow at the earliest that I can check. Just FYI for the list-- in Summit Co. probate court holds estate records (what happened to property when someone died) from 1840-present; births 1867-1908; Marriages from 1840-present; and deaths from 1867-1908. If anyone needs the contact info, I can let you know.

Apparently they considered it a dark, mysterious place too cold, wild and far (across the Irish sea)to attempt to subjugate. This is the same term that the Romans used when they spoke of encamping a legion during the non-fighting winter season in Europe. In Caesar's Gallic Wars "Hibernia" means "winter quarters". It origin of our English word "hibernation", which describes how bears and other animals spend the winter sleeping in a warm cave and living off the accumulated fat in their bodies. Ed

Certainly, I'd be happy to tell you about Akron. The Main Library is at 55 S. Main , Akron 44326 in downtown; the nearest freeway exit is from Rt. 8 at Martin Luther Kin Blvd or Perkinsd St-- same exit, name change and I am not sure which is posted on the highway. I can give more exacty directions if you wrtite me directly. The local history area is on the 1st floor in the LAnguage Literture & History dept. Census rolls are there as well-- at long lost we have several self-serve reader printers, as well as the old crank-type reader. We have all OH census records (1800 on), including soundex; the Akron Beacon Journal back to the 1840's; other census records (not complete) from PA and a few other states. We have a large collection of books, especially strong in OH holdings-- also PA, WV, and other states that OH either got or sent folks to. Our New England collection is OK-- with Hudson so close & the Western Reserve Hist. Society also, our librarian chose not to duplicate all that large amount of material again, but it is respectable. Hours are: M-Th 9-9; Fri. 9-6; Sat. 9-5; Sun. 1-5 during the school year. Copies are $.05 a page. You can write for information as wellas visit or phone at (330) 643-9000. Let me know if you need more information.
