I am trying to find my gt gt gt grandfather's birth details. I know he lived in parish of Ematris, Corranewy townland in the 1850s but can't dfind anything else. His wife was Elizabeth Jackson
They had 2 sons I know of. One William who went to NSw and the other James my gt gt grandfather who married a sarah Campbell. they came to Glasgow in 1860s.
As well as trying to find out about gt gt gts I am also seeking siblings other than the 2 above.
If anyone can help would be v grateful.

Hi nantuckett
There is every chance I could but means finding siblings. I have made a note. Ditto if you find any with a William who went to Oz and a James to Glasgow, please shout very loudly!
Lol

Hi Nantuckett
Have you got any names because I have more Campbell names than Connollys?
The Campbells were actually from Silverstream in Monaghan. Sarah who married my James moved to Achnacue to live with her sister, she met him and here I am!
So if you have specific names let me know and will check and see if any match up. Off top of my head I know her father was Matthew.
Cheers

Hi Ann, I have a Margaret Campbell who married Thomas Hammill. She was born 1832 they had children but werre all born in Canada. They were both from Monaghan. I have other names from the same area Greenan, hughes, McGaigue, Halfpenny & Connolly. I don't know when they came to Canada but the children started coming in 1860.
Never know we may get a match one day.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help with my family tree which may join on somewhere with your own.
My name is Derek Connolly
My Father is * Connolly
My grand father is * Connolly
My Great Grandfather was Patrick Connolly
My GG Grandfather is James Connolly MY GGGran was Margaret holt they married 30/10/1874 and where from
County Monaghan (aghabog as far as I can make out). Patrick was 1 of 11 kids 2 died in WW1 I think Patrick was the 4th born. James was born 1851 ireland but margaret was born 1858 in glasgow. I think the families might have known each other because Margarets parents where William Holt born County Monaghan & Agnes Ramsay born County donegal.
I am looking for any info to fill in the blanks like where the family lived if it was aghabog or elsewhere and also when the families came over siblings etc...any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Derek

Hi Derek
Sorry to say no connection. There were a lot of Connollys in the area and I've seen the name Patrick crop up before but fraid not in my tree - at least not so far. Also don't have any Margaret Holt's either fraid.
My James who was my gt x2 grandfather married a Sarah Campbell. Both families were Presbyterian and I have a feeling that when I've seen Patrick Connolly they were RC. (I checked all religion in the early days of looking for my lot just to make sure)
John who posted earlier is however definitely related to me through James and Sarah. I think we'd worked out we're 3rd cousins.
Best Wishes
Ann
-
No problem ann thanks for the info. Cheers Derek

Hi derek
I had a further look and still no connection to my lot but a wee ray of hope here. If your Margaret Holt and James Connolly maried in 1874 then there will be a certificate at the GRO in Dublin of their marriage (Civil registration for BMDs started in ireland in 1864 tho Church of Ireland Marriages were recorded from 1845 , also at the GRO).
However I did find a marriage in Glasgow for a couple with those names in 1874. Is this them?
1874 Groom CONNOLLY JAMES Bride HOLT MARGARET HUTCHESONTOWN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/10 0337
That record is on Scotland's People and gives grooms parents as James Connolly & Catherine Hart and Bride's parents as William Holt and Ann Ramsay.
What you won't be able to find is any sort of shipping records as because Ireland wasn't considered abroad people to'd and fro'd freely all the time.
If you pm me your email address I'll send you a copy of the marriage entry as it has more info than what I posted above.
There are a couple of James Connollys born 1851 in Co Monaghan on this site http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie
However it is a pay site and what you'll get is a transcript. Also worth checking is the LDS (Family Search). Just tried and won't play at the moment but that's free and worth a look.
Ann :D

Wow that was quick. Thank you. I will go through the information. Thanks

Michael Connolly died 1933 at Garren. His daughter-in-law, Agnes Connolly was the informant.

Thank you. I can’t find any marriage for Agnes to a Connolly.

I can’t find any marriage for Agnes to a Connolly.
I've tried myself, but I can't find a marriage or a surname for Agnes.
Can anybody find the marriage?

Here is the death of Patrick Joseph, aged 11yrs in 1912.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1912/05357/4493129.pdf
Amended age - should be 11 yrs

Here is the death of Patrick Joseph, aged 13 yrs in 1912.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1912/05357/4493129.pdf
Good find, heywood ;)
So it's Michael who married Agnes (somebody)
Maybe a transcribed error in the age (11 years?)
-
Sorry - yes 11 yrs. I have altered the post.
-
How sad that he died so young. I will now try to find out more about Michael their other son who was married to an Agnes. Thank for the help.
-
I also failed to find a son's marriage to an Agnes so I'm wondering if 'daughter-in-law' should really have been niece or niece by marriage?
-
Yes that could well be the answer. Thanks
