>From information provided by Ted Meehan, after the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, a number of Mehigans went to France.

John Joseph (my grandfather) – born 1867 – baptism sponsor William Mihigan Garret (my g-grandfather) – born 1837 Daniel (my gg-grandfather) – married Judith Murphy 1837 Robert – witness to marriage of William Joyce and Margaret Scully – 1823 I am seeking links between the Mehigans of Kilcoran and Castletownroche, especially given the name of my grandfather and his baptism sponsor. I am particularly looking for the ancestors of 1867 baptism sponsor William Mihigan and 1823 wedding witness Robert Mehigan, as well as the parents of Daniel Mehigan. Many thanks for your assistance. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you have to offer. Bob Meehan Dunwoody, Georgia USA

Hi there Listers! Once again I am endeavouring to locate the origin of my great grandfather and his mum and dad. His name was William Walsh and all I have is that he was a native of Galway. His mother was Julia(Judith) Cost(Cust) his father was William Walsh. He had three other brothers, Michael, Matthew, Maurice. They were younger than William - but their father is listed as Maurice(Morris). Could be that William died and his mum married his brother?? I have it that William was born in 1832 (place unknown). Matthew was born 1843 (place unknown). Michael 1842 (Woodford Galway). Maurice 1839 (place unknown). The family, minus father migrated to Australia and arrived in Sydney or Newcastle on 22 April 1856 on board the "Maitland". I can only presume that the family migrated as a result of the great famine. A bit of side information - there is family named Cust living in Newcastle (Oz) whom I am trying to contact to ascertain their family origins to see if they know anything. Also there was a branch of the Cust family who migrated to Scotland and then Rhodesia(Zimbabwe). Thanks in anticipation for any help. Noel Tucker in a very hot, dry and drought ravaged Australia

Hello Tim: First of all, I want to mention that many Irish who intended to go to USA took ships to Canada because that was the least expensive route. Many new arrivals simply worked as labourers only long enough to pay their fare and other expenses to get into USA so may not have been around during a census taking period. By the way, Canada's census are done on odd numbered years while USA are done on even numbered years. Here are some sites that might have the information you are looking for: http://www.mckane.waterloo.on.ca/geneal/zephr.htm http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/PrivRecs/IrishFamine/Default-e.aspx?PageLoad=Int ro http://www.archives.ca/02/020202/0202020401_e.html Doreen ---------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Morrissey" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 9:44 AM Subject: [SH] Canada > I am tracing back from Boston to Ireland am find my person emigrated > from Ireland to New Brunswick Canada.
