Certainly there should be death records as I have family buried there and have seen their graves. I did not go to Ballinlough to the Church and read the records, however. Judy -----Original Message----- From: gacarter@btinternet.com To: ROSCOMMON-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 15 May 2007 6:40 PM Subject: [ROSCOMMON] Ballinlough Burial Records. I have in the past viewed the film of the parish registers of The Church of the Immaculate Conception at Ballinlough. These contained Baptism and Marriage records. My question now is why weren`t there any baptism`s ? I know there is only a small churchyard where it is now, but there must have been burials at some time. Can anyone explain where they would be ?

According to bible records, Michael Grant was a native of the Parish of Elphin in County Roscommon. He was born approximately in 1817 but there is some differences between dates on death cert, tombstone, etc. He married Ellen Haney of Fermagh, County Leitrim on November 21, 1852 probably in Ireland and perhaps in Ellen's parish. Is anyone researching any Grant family in the Elphin area of Roscommon or perhaps even in the surrounding areas into Leitrim? Thanks so much for any assistance.

Hi Lorraine, I can`t help directly with your question but if you come across any KANE/CANE/KEANE connections anywhere near Ballinlough, Roscommon, I`d be interested.

Hi listers, I was checking a website Irish Re-productive loans, that Patsy of New Zealand gave. www.movinghere.org.uk/search/ default.asp. I found several with the name MIchael D & Elizabeth Carty although I don't know if there is a connection with my family.

On another page there is a Michael D Carty (can't make out the residence. Looks like C (or O) lean or ss ?) Surety Thomas Carty & Thomas (looks like McLaughlin) also residence Cleass? Is there anyone on the list who can tell me where Mountain or Moutais is in Roscommon or can decipher what the other residence is? My Thomas Carty was born in Kilukens 1833 but that doesn't mean they couldn't move to another place, since his father Michael, was a farm laborer... The rest of the site is very interesting. I wonder if anyone on the list knows of a good map that shows these townlands? I have a pretty good map of Roscommon but not many towns are listed. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi list, I thought I'd repost my family interests since it has been several months since I have posted it.. I am searching for the CARTY (MC CARTY,MC CARTNEY) FAMILY. MICHAEL married ELIZABETH MC GREVEY & their son THOMAS was born in 1833 in KILUKENS, ROSCOMMON. MICHAEL was a farm laborer. THOMAS was a shoemaker & migrated to GLASGOW, SCOTLAND where he married ELIZABETH LOWRY (LAURIE). I don't know when he left Ireland or if his parents migrated to Scotland. Others in the family who showed up on the 1901 census for Glasgow were: EDWARD CARTY 44, Pottery Kilnsman PATRICK CARTY 90, Gen Laborer BRIDGET MC LEAN widow 40 dau.all born in Ireland. Hopefully someone on the list can see a connection. Thanks Janet New England USA

I think the word 'help' seems an apt plea. My great aunts second husband was Daniel Donnelly, whom she married in 1921 in Wakefield. Daniel himself had been born in Wakefield, but his father Thomas b 1858 stated that he was born in Roscommon, Ireland. Thomas married a lady called Ann in 1884 who stated that she was from Wakefield and born in 1860. Thomas was a coalminer Is anyone connected to this family ? Or, does anyone know of the Donnelly family ? For years the birth date and place of birth of Daniel had eluded both me and my cousin but a chance breakthrough gave the sought after info + 6 siblings Looking forward to any help or pointers that may be offered Carol www.wakefieldfhs.org.uk www.genealogyjunction.org.uk www.whoareyou.org.uk www.chantrychapel.org.uk

Ireland Genealogy Projects (IGP) has a new project. The project is an archives for Ireland. The idea is that we will put transcriptions of Public Domain (pre 1923) documents online. This will not replace our county projects - it will be an adjunct to them. Submissions are very welcome. Submissions would be in text format. The project is called Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives You can see it at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlarchive/ Thanks, Christina We need some submissions for Roscommon :)

Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply, but I doubt there is a connection. My BYRNE family came to the NY, US area pre-1844. To my knowledge, none of my ancestors ever went to Australia.

I have two BYRNE families from Ireland: 1. Patrick TOOLAN married Catherine BYRNE. They were living in Tully/Roscommon in 1865. Their daughter Mary (b. 1844) (my Great-Grandmother) migrated to Sydney, NSW, Australia in 1865 on a ship called Wallsea. 2. James BYRNE was married to Winifred ? They were both dead by 1855. Their son James BYRNE (b. about 1816 in Creeve, Roscommon) married Mary KEARNEY (b. about 1817 in Elphin, Roscommon) in about 1837. The family migrated to Sydney, NSW, Australia in 1855 on a ship called Mangerton. Their children and their respective ages in 1855 were: Michael (18), Bridget (16), John (13) (my Great-Grandfather), Catherine (11), Winifred (9) and Mary (7). I assume that Tully, Creeve and Elphin are all located close to each other. This is all of the information I have concerning the BYRNE, TOOLAN and KEARNEY families back to the point when they left Ireland. Maybe there is some connection with your BYRNE family? I hope so.

Hi Jan, My BERN, BEIRN, BEIRNE, BYRNE family of Boyle in County Roscommon were Elizabeth (my gr-gr-grandmother) and her brother, Thomas (b 1794); children of Cecelia Hanly (Hanley) & Thomas BERNE. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of the others of Cecelia & Thomas's children, but didn't every Catholic family have a female named Mary?

Two, maybe-brothers, John and Thomas, were leasing land at the time of Tithes, 1830s. In 1849, John's son, John (great-grandfather) immigrated to US. Married Bridget McGEE in Boston, and they moved on to Sandusky, Ohio. They only stayed there until about 1856, and then returned to Ireland. In Griffiths Valuation, John was there with the two properties that his (? father and uncle...maybe) leased in the 1830s. John and Bridget lived in a small farmhouse and raised 10 children, until 1879, when they all immigrated, and settled in Providence, Rhode Island. I *believe* great-grandpa John had these siblings, and probably more I don't know of: TIMOTHY m. BRIDGET MURRY at Cootehall, ca 1847. Proprietor of grocer (or baker) store in Cootehall. Died in Cootehall. One daughter, Mary Muldowney m. JOHN DUNN at Cootehall, 1876. THOMAS m. Frances FORRY at Cootehall, 1850. Immigrated to Sandusky, OH. Died Sandusky BRIDGET m. Owen /Eurgene MORAGHAN. They had a bunch of children baptized at Cootehall, 1840s-1860s. I believe they stayed in the Tumna area, but I've not been able to trace them. We visited Moigh, met the neighbors, and the current owners of the house who invited us to come in and feel at home. It hadn't changed much, except for the addition of a very small kitchen, a bathroom, and a little front "porch." Those additions were made probably about 1913... by the Lynch family, ancestors of the present owners. I believe but can't prove - yet - that the Lynches were related to the Muldowneys. When John Muldowney finally gave up the land in 1879, it was leased over to LAURENCE LYNCH. I have been told that he was unmarried, and that a nephew of his then had the land. When the Irish were allowed to purchase the lands they leased, it was bought by Tom Lynch. I haven't come across any Stewarts in the family. Darn!

My mother was from Ireland (Elphin) I'm not sure where my father's family was from...other than Ohio. I loved meeting my cousins and two aunts who still lived in Elphin. The original home of the Scotts is still in the family. It's owned by a first cousin and is now being used as a Day Care Center. Where do you live? I'm finding talking to fellow Irishmen and women fun and insightful. I live in New Jersey in a town names Manalapan.....about an hour south of New York City...an hour north of Philadelphia....and 30 minutes from the beach at Sea Girt. Hope to hear from you again, Richard ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sat, 3 Feb 2007 12:10:36 +1100 From: "Tom Duckworth" <tom.duck@bigpond.com> Subject: [ROSCOMMON] Byrne ancestors To: <joeowens@charter.net> Cc: ROSCOMMON-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <001601c74730$1e069a60$0201a8c0@fileserver> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi Joe, I saw your entry in the Roscommon list web-site. I have two BYRNE families from Ireland: 1. Patrick TOOLAN married Catherine BYRNE. They were living in Tully/Roscommon in 1865. Their daughter Mary (b. 1844) (my Great-Grandmother) migrated to Sydney, NSW, Australia in 1865 on a ship called Wallsea. 2. James BYRNE was married to Winifred ? They were both dead by 1855. Their son James BYRNE (b. about 1816 in Creeve, Roscommon) married Mary KEARNEY (b. about 1817 in Elphin, Roscommon) in about 1837. The family migrated to Sydney, NSW, Australia in 1855 on a ship called Mangerton. Their children and their respective ages in 1855 were: Michael (18), Bridget (16), John (13) (my Great-Grandfather), Catherine (11), Winifred (9) and Mary (7). I assume that Tully, Creeve and Elphin are all located close to each other. This is all of the information I have concerning the BYRNE, TOOLAN and KEARNEY families back to the point when they left Ireland. Maybe there is some connection with your BYRNE family? I hope so. I am a member of the Lancashire Family History and Heraldry Society and The Wyong Family History Group.

Hi: My ancestor Patrick Nafin (1798) (Nephin) married Mary Byrne(1796) or O'Byrne in Boyle Roscommon and emigrated with their children to Canada in 1842 and settled in Ontario. Possibly a connection but there were tons of Byrnes in Roscommon. Elphin is also the name of the Diocese in those parts as well as there being a town just south of Boyle.
