Hi Fran, I have an Anne Byrne/Beirne, daughter of Michael, of Killmacumsey. She married John Elwood, son of John, of Annagmore, 14 Jan 1869, in Elphin Chapel. The witnesses were, William Coffey and Jane Cavanagh. Often the witnesses can shed light on the couple, so hopefully someone may be able to make a connection through them. Anne and John had three daughters, Bridget Anne, Mary and Teresa in Annaghmore. They planned to emigrate to America, along with John's brother and his family. However, Anne was heavily pregnant and they only got as far as Liverpool. The other family carried on to America, but John and his family stayed in Liverpool, where they had further children. I hope someone out there has a link with either of these families. Therese, in Queensland, Australia.

Mary Beirne, b. abt. 1814 and James Elwood, b. 1808 married and lived in Canbo, Roscommon. Canbo is in the present day RC Parish of Croghan, which is close to Boyle. Mary and James had eight children, the first two were christened in RC Croghan, John Elwood, b. May 1837 and Catherine Elwood, b. May 1839. Many people from this area, including Mary and James, immigrated to the area around Lockport/Buffalo, New York. Their daughter Bridget was born in Lockport in July 1841. By 1860 Mary and James farmed around Tama, Harrison Co., Iowa.

I have to confess that I am writing not about family, but about rug makers who had woven a wonderful rug that we have since lost in a bad fire. The small company was located in Roscommon. The card reads: AFRO CELTIC WEAVERS LIMITED, The Demense, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. The company seems to have ben called the Living Loom. Does anyone know of such a company, and whether it still exists? I have tried other sources. I am sorry for intruding on your website.

Fran, I may be a relative. My great grandfather, Luke Padian, married Bridget Beirne, and Luke's sister Bridget married Owen Beirne. This was around 1880-90 around Cordrummin. I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the Beirne's (although I would like to) before that.

Would anyone like to lay claim to a BEIRNE (also spelled BERN, BERNE, BEIRN, O'BEIRNE, etc.) ancestor from the Boyle area of County Roscommon? I've been trying to pinpoint the BEIRN family of my gr-grandmother, Elizabeth, b. circa 1780s or 1790s, and married in 1812 at St. Joseph's Church in Boyle to Thomas Gavican (with many other spellings).

Hey Tim While reading the ROSCOMMON email today I came across your email. I also have a Bridget Murphy in my family, she was born about 1865 in Ireland & was married to a Charles Oliver about 1885. Had a unknown child & a Edward Charles Oliver in 1889 in NYC. Is there any connection for you? Mary

In the 1850 census I have HENRY Murphy, who I know is mine, living with ANNE and PATRICK. PATRICK was 2 or three years younger than Henry, about 22. (I've given up trusting those ages given on census reports). This was in NYC 16 th Ward. But I have no further info about him. Lemme look your stuff over. Slainte, Tim Susan King wrote: >Hi Tim.

Hi, >From family history we have a Bridget Donohoe m. "Battie" Keaveny of Breedogue. I believe "Battie" is a nickname for Bernard. There is supposedly a son, Dominic, a daughter "Ellie" and daughters who married a Lenehan, a Flanaghan and a Hestor. >From LDS I found the following children born to Bridget Donohoe and Eugene(once listed as Owen) Keaveny of Roscommon. They were baptized at Breedogue And Ballinameen, Roman Catholic parish. I don't know if this is the same family or not? Any one of them could be (or maybe not!) the Mrs. Lenehan: Maria Keaveny 16 May 1864 Bridget Keaveny 30 Jul 1865 Winifrida Keaveny 10 Nov 1866 Patrick Keaveny 11 oct 1868 Sarah Keaveny 31 Aug 1873 Anna Keaveny 31 Mar 1875 Sorry this isn't much to go on...hopefully there is a clue buried in there somewhere!

My great-grandfather Michael Oates married Catherine Moffett. The Oateses lived near Frenchpark in Roscommon. They were probabIy born aound 1825. My father and several siblings came to the US in the 1920s. I would be most interested in hearing from any possible Oates connections. Francis Oates St Louis MO US

Suzy, For whatever it's worth, my ancestors from Athlone, Roscommon, also wound up in Joliet, IL: John Joseph POWER (My grandfather, b. 16 Jan 1878), son of Michael POWER, b. 1 Sep 1831 in Athlone, maried to Winifred Feehley McLAUGHLIN (b. 15 Apr 1831, supposedly in Kilkenny) Families that the children married into in Illinois were KING, DELANEY, LAGORIO, BURNS, and HURD. You never know when some seemingly minor connection can shed some light somewhere. Nan Rochester, NY On Sunday, February 2, 2003, at 03:33 PM, Susan King wrote: > > Hi Tim.

I am searching for anyone in or from Roscommon named LENEGAN or other spellings of this name which I understand originated in Roscommon. We know of an OWEN LENEGAN weaver, who emigrated to Wigan, Lancashire and was there by about 1831. I would like to find any relatives of his. I appreciate greatly all help. Sincerely, Lila

Mine were JOHN (b 1807) and BRIDGET TIERNEY DOLAN (b 1805) they were from Creggs, County Ros and emigrated to Phelps, NY. They had a daughter named MARY (June 7, 1833)(and many more kids) who married a guy named WILLIAM DORNAN. William dies somewhere along the line and in 1880 MARY DOLAN DORNAN married my recently widowed great grand father DANIEL FARRELL in Galesburg IL. His widow, my great grand mother, was a woman named BRIDGET MURPHY FARRELL and she died in 1879. So.....the skinny, the story, the anecdote was that the reason he was able to mary MARY DOLAN DORNAN and get her to help out with the kids was that she and BRIDGET were good friends from Ireland. Of course as luck would have it. I had no trouble finding those DOLANS but cant find anything about BRIDGET MURPHY. I grasp at straws. Slainte, Tim Jane Dowling wrote: >Hi, Tim.
