I wonder if Janet could kindly do a look up for Dillon DUFFY please, I believe he was born around 1850/1851 and his parents were Thomas & Margaret DUFFY. I do not know where in Roscommon he was born. Any information that you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards Laura Williams

Dear Barb-- Since you have reviewed the Keadue film, there isn't much more that I can advise. I can trace my family back before the church records began in the 1820's, and none of the names you mentioned connect to my line. I'm sure that we are all related further back, as there are a lot of Gaffneys in the Keadue area. I still have Gaffney cousins living there !!! However, youi may wish to write to the Priest at the Keadue Church as he may have some other records, and may be able to help you. My Gaffney line came from the Derreenavicara Townland, which is about 1 mile south/southeast of the Keadue Village. My family had 26 acres of the 149 acres of the Derreenavicara Townland. There were eight families on the Derreenavicara Townland most of the time, and at one time five of the eight were Gaffneys. My Mom was born and grew up there and I have been there twice. Once I actually went into the house where she was born. That was a very humbling experiencse, as it was hard to imagine eight children living in such a small house. All seven daughters including my Mom, came to the USA, and only my uncle remained in Ireland on the Derreenavicara Townland as he inherited it from my grandfather. Interstingly enough, two of the sisters returned to Keadue after many years in the USA, and married Irishmen and lived out there lives there. Some of their children, my cousins, are still alive, and it makes for a wonderful visit when I go there. The Irish are very hospitable, but when you are related it is even more so !!! Best Wishes, George Hoyt Glen Ivy CA

Very little is know about Hanora other than she came over from County Roscommon, her fathers name was Owen. I would be interested if anyone runs onto similar combinations.

Teresa, Thanks for your 14 June Email. I can only confirm the approximate date of migration of my Sheerin Clan into the US to that of my Grandfather Jeremiah Sheerin. He came to Boston MA in the early 1890's and then moved to Lowell MA, got married and raised his family there. Jeremiah was born between 1865-1870. He lived in Doon, Boyle, Co. Roscommon. However, I believe he may have been the first born child to Jeremiah Sheerin, born around 1835 in Doon and Jane McDermott, born around 1840. I suspect that Jane's family lived in a nearby village/town in Co. Sligo. That being the case, then Jane would have gone back to her parents house to have her 1st born child, which was a custom then. Take care and keep in touch, Jake Sheerin

Dear Cyril, Thanks for your 14 June Email. Here's the only information I have on my McDermott Side: My G/Grandfather Jeremiah/Darby/Dermot Sheerin, born between 1830 and 1840 in the village of Doon outside of Boyle on the Co Roscommon & Sligo border married Jane McDermott, born between 1840-1845. I think she may have lived in one of the small villages in Co. Sligo near Boyle. During the Irish 1901 census she was alive and living on a farm in Doon with 3 of her children. I believe I have most if not all of their children names and approximate date of their births if you want them. Cyril, this is the only confirmed information I have on my McDermott Clan. If you or anybody can help me with this I would appreciate it very much. I have no Idea on what "book" to buy on my clan. Take care and keep in touch, Jake Sheerin

George Hoyt, I saw with interest your recent postings re Mary K. Gaffney and am wondering if there could be any relation to my family. My 3xgr grandparents were John Gaffney and Margaret (Nangle) Gaffney. They emigrated to Canada in 1847 with their children: Mary b. June 8 1831 Bridget b. abt 1832 John b. June 21, 1837 Ann b. abt 1841 Eliza b. Sept. 12, 1844 Margaret b. abt 1846 and another baby whose name I don't know. The youngest two died of small pox shortly after arriving in Canada and the father a couple of months later. John Gaffney is believed to be the son of John Gaffney and Julia McGuirl and had siblings Daniel, Thomas, James, Mary, Patrick, Edward, and Charles, some of whom emigrated as well. Margaret Nangle (b. July 16, 1812) is believed to be the daughter of James Nangle and Mary Gaffney and had siblings Elizabeth, Thomas, Mary, James, Ann, Patrick, Owen, Bridget, Honor, Michael and John. There is a family story that one of Margaret's brothers was robbed on his way home from a market where he had sold some cattle and was struck on the head and killed. I have reviewed the LDS film#1279224 and was able to find two baptisms but no townland was mentioned. This film had a lot of Gaffneys but I had no way to determine what, if any, relationships. Would love to hear from you. Thanks Barb Youmans

Hello all, Can anyone help[ me or have any information about Michael cornelius DURR born 1845 at Elphin. Father THOMAS Mother ?? In 1863 he enlisted in the army and was sent to India leaving several siblings thanks. Moyra in Canada

Hello, I first want to thank Janet for the lookup she did for me on Michael Flynn. I know she has been more than kind ,the word gracious comes to my mind. Thank you . I am sure one of these Michael Flynns is mine. Secondly to George I wish I could help you with your Michael Flynn,but presently I do not know much about my Flynn family. Most of what I know about my Michael Flynn is just passed down information. One thing I do know is that my Flynn family resided in the Grange,Ballinlough area of Roscommon.My grandmother used to have a picture of a school in Grange,Ballinlough that she said hher father attended. the school was a big stone building ,may of been a catholic school near a church. another picture she had was of the Flynn home in grange,Ballinlough it was a brown stone house with a nice flower garden surrounded by hedges of boxwood. These pictures were probably taken in late 1960s. My grgrandfather went to U.S.A. abt. 1881 or so,possibly along with his brother or cousin Cornelius Flynn. Some of my grgrandfathers siblings stayed in Ireland ,some went to the midwest (Iowa,this is my line) and one went to South Africa.This I know from my greatgrandfather Michael Flynns obituary,1930s.Sadly the obituary did not give any siblings first names. I had a great aunt Frances Flynn ( a school teacher) of Soldier,Iowa; South Bend,Indiana and Omaha,Nebraska who kept in touch with the Flynns in Ireland back in the 1950s , 1960s and 1970s,and maybe earlier. She visited the Flynn family in Roscommon, Ireland many times. Now when I need answers to my questions she has passed away,so I must start my Flynn research from scratch. If this sounds familiar to any Flynn researcher out there please e-mail me. [email protected] Cheryl Gauthier-Williams Thank you very much.

I have been noting with interest the mention of Michael FLYNN over the last couple of days. My gt grandfather was Michael FLYNN and we believe he was born in Roscommo circa 1862-1864, there isn`t any evidence yet of a marriage certificate for him and gt gran Maria QUINN (born circa 1861 in Tipperary) and at the moment we are assuming they never married. If they ever did marry it was after 1902 and probably would have been in Manchester England where they lived, with my gran. A distant cousin gave my mum this snippet of information regarding Michael, can anyone help me pin him down from it. Michael FLYNN was born in CLYGH? Roscommon they worshiped in Ballinloch. He had a sister who married a FLYNN and had 11 children amongst whom were Martin and Ann. Ann inherited the farm. Any help would be most appreciated. George Carter in Whaley Bridge

Dear Loree-- Thanks for your response. My cousin Edmond Farry, who lives on the Moigh Townland, was pleased to receive the genealogy on the Gaffney family (his mother's side), which I finished three years ago. I doubt that he has done any work on the Farry Family. They are too busy surviving on farming for much of anything else. I have not met anyone named Tansey. How do you like the size of Cootehall? I can't imagine a place any smaller in this world. Thanks again. George Hoyt

Thanks so much for your trouble Janet, I'm sure there are many like myself who appreciate your prompt replies. This gives me one further child so I'm really grateful.

Hello listers. My g-grandparents were Francis Armstrong and Wilhelmina Sloan of Boyle town. I have four children for them: Mary Anne born 1868, Wilhelmina Jane, b 1870 d 1886, Jane Elizabeth (my g-mother) b 1877 d 1944, and Thomas b c1880.

Dear Friend, I have Farry information that may be of interrest to you. Mary K. Gaffney of Derreenavicara Townland, Keadue, Kilronan Civil Parish, just a mile or two north of Cootehall, married Michael Farry on January 12 1928 in the Keadue Catholic Church. Mike Farry was born april 30 1895 on the Moigh Townland, which is just a short distance from Cootehall Village. He died in 1960, in a drowning accident in/near Cootehall. Mary K (Gaffney) Farry is my mother's sister (my aunt). Mike and Mary K had three children (my cousins). One still lives on the Moigh Townland. I had dinner at his house about five years ago. Another brother died five years ago a few miles away in Knockvicar, and the third child lives in the USA, near New York City. Hope this is helpful to you. Sincerely, George Hoyt Glen Ivy, CA
