Cyril, Here's my input to your surname research. The only cemetery I know of in Boyle is the Assylinn cemetery. There's two (old & the "new" one) on each side of the dirt road and over looks the Boyle river. However, there's no caretaker or office nor are their any records of burial information that I know of. In addition, a lot of the older graves do not have gravestones, just some sort of a marker, that at the time of burial, the family knew. Also, if the graves are not maintained by a family member, then the vegetation grows out of control all around them. I am very interested in your research of the name "SHREHORNE (SHREEHANE? SHRIANE" My family Clan name is Sheerin/Sheeran. They all lived in and around the Boyle area from as early as the 1780's to the present. A lot of them were Baptized in St. Joseph's RC Church in Boyle. The spelling of that name goes from Sheerin/Sheeran to Sherin, Sheran, Sheron, Shern, Sherran and etc. My cousin, who now lives in Salthill, Galway, told me he was told that they were a small clan in the big McDermott Clan in Co. Donegal. After losing a battle there to Cornwallis, they all migrated to the Boyle area in Co. Roscommon. Having been to Ireland many time and looking at various documents, i.e Census, Church Baptism Records, Civil Birth records, Griffiths, the LDS records and etc. that the spelling of "Sheerin/Sheeran" varied according to who wrote the name down. I maintain a rather large Sheerin Surname file and I searched it for your "variation". However, I do not have a "John SHREHORNE (SHREEHANE? SHRIANE who was born about 1800 in Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon and married Mary FLAHERTY about 1820. Do you have any other family information on John & Mary, Parents or children's name??? I hope this can help you a little bit in your surname research. Please let me know if it does and keep in contact. Jake Sheerin, Annapolis MD (formerly from Lowell MA)

Thank you for the information and the reply. The John Lenehan was probably a relative of some kind. I understand the name originated in Roscommon. The Lenegans associated with our family migrated from Ireland to England, first to Wigan and then to Manchester. I do not know if any came to the US. Perhaps they did. Thanks again.

My father was born in Roscommon near Frenchpark. In St Louis one day in the '60s he met a John Lenehan, who was attending a teachers' convention; Lenehan was from western MA, maybe around Worcester or Springfield. My father brought him home for dinner with us, as I recall it the Lenehans were from Roscommon.

Hello there!! I just saw the name NEARY and just had to contact you. I've been trying to find a townland for my NEARY family, who left Roscommon in the early 1830's and moved to the industrial city of Birmingham in the UK. My earliest "proved" ancestor is Martin NEARY b. 1817 in Roscommon (according to English census records) and married Bridget MURRAY b. 1807 also in Roscommon - same records. They had six sons: James, Edward, JOHN, James, Peter and Martin. I am descended from John, who spent nearly 30 years of his life as a soldier in India. I would presume that Martin's father was called James - so I'm always looking for a James NEARY - somewhere. Perhaps you could put me in touch with some NEARY people - or a NEARY person - but, of course, after all this time, it's going to be nigh impossible for anyone to remember a family who went to Birmingham nearly 200 years ago! There were several NEARY families in Birmingham for the 1841 Census and most of them called their first son James... so they could all have been brothers, perhaps. Sorry if I've given you a request with which you cannot comply - but I seem to latch on to any little it of info. concerning this name in Roscommon! With every good wish....

Hi everyone~ I have relatives (Scott and Neary) that still live in the Elphin, County Roscommon area. But there seem to be a great many more Scott's the Elphin area that I can't connect to my family.

We are looking for information on the Lenegan Family from Roscommon. There are various spellings of this name, any of which may be correct. Our family is descended from John Lenegan, born 1822 and his father Owen Lenegan. Both were born in Ireland. Any help is appreciated. Lila

Trying to find out more about John SHREHORNE (SHREEHANE? SHRIANE?) who was born about 1800 in Frenchpark, Co. Roscommon. He was a shoemaker. He married Mary FLAHERTY about 1820. She was christened at Boyle RC Church 11 Mar 1796. Is there a graveyard in or near Frenchpark where they might be buried: where there might be a gravestone? Thanks Cyril

Hello, I an very new to Irish genealogy. I am searching for information on my great-grandfather, Peter KILROY, who was born in Co. Roscommon, Ireland on 25 June 1854. I have that information from the US Census and also from his petition for Naturalization - USA. He arrived in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA on 7 May 1871. He died of pneumonia in Boston, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA in January of 1890 leaving his wife Anna GATELY four months pregnant with her fourth child (four daughters) - my grandmother. According to his death record his father was Michael and his mother was Catharine. I am quite sure that they were Catholic. I would appreciate any suggestions of what my next step should be to locate more information about this KILROY family. Cheryl Willis Patten 1161 East Pond Road Smithfield, ME, USA 04978

To add to that... as I understand it the suffix "Roe" refers to red as in colour of hair or complexion and was used to distinguish different branches of an extended family.

Gentlemen I have just one bit of historical information to toss into the pot. On the Internet I read that the suffix --roe was added to McDermott to identify a sturdy branch which had split off from the main McDermott's. If I recall correctly, both were located in the north of County Roscommon. I don't recall the time frame but, if you use your browser window or google.com, you probably can find when these branches separated.

PAT, Don't know if we can help each other but here's my "McDermott" input. My G/Grandmother Jane/Johanna McDermott was born C1840 in either the Boyle area of Co. Roscommon or a nearby village in Co. Sligo. She married my G/Grandfather Jeremiah/Darby Sheerin around 1860. They lived and raised their family in the community of Doon outside of Boyle. The names of the 1st born girls and boys were Margaret & Catherine, and Terrance, James & Michael. I have no family information on Jane McDermott. However, I suspect she may have lived in one of the nearby communities of Co. Sligo close to Doon. She was a widow and living on the farm in Doon during the 1901 Irish Census. I hope we can help each other. Take care and stay in contact.
