Hi Kate
My forbears were Doyles who lived near Kilmacanogue and had a Dairy in Duke street, Dublin. my great great grandmother was Mary Doyle who married Thomas Kavanagh who was the Blacksmith in Kilmacanogue village. I see you also have an interest in the Keenans. Mary Doyle and Thomas Kavanagh's daughter also Mary, was married to William Keenan of Calary. they were my great grandparents.
If you think there is any connection between these Doyles and Keenans and your lot I would love to hear from you
Regards Greg

Hi Greg, thanks for replying to my post. They could be related but I couldn't give you a definate yes. My ggg Grandmother was Rosanna Doyle born 1825 in Bray and that is all I know at the moment. Very difficult to find out anything on my Irish side. She married Jeremiah Sutton and they lived in Dublin, the family eventually moved back and lived in Bray and Enniskerry, where my dad was born.
I will ask him whether he recognises the Kavanagh name as being connected to us, as he normally knows what families we are connected too.
As for the Keenan's, they also married into my Sutton family, Michael Keenan 1918 married my g aunt Ann Sutton 1920. They had one daughter that I know of, Pauline Keenan 1959. Michael was a Dublin man.
Regards
Kate.

Hi
My surnames are NILES - children born in Avoca parish 1847-1862ish. They came to Cumberland England circa 1864. John NILES was born circa 1825 Co Wicklow and his father was John.
SULLIVAN- Bridget married John NILES 1847 Wicklow and settled in Avoca area. Her dad was Patrick SULLIVAN. There arent many SULLIVANS on Griffiths valuation so im thinking they could all be connected?
DONNELLY- John DONNELLY came from County Wicklow to work in the mines at Cumberland England. He was born about 1830 and married an Esther- they had Mary DONNELLY about 1856 in County Wicklow. Its likely John had a sister Julia DONNELLY born County Wicklow circa 1840 - she also came to Cumberland,and their dad was James DONNELLY.
Anyone else connectedor know anything about these families?

My parents arrived in Canada in 1954 from Bray, Co. Wicklow. Most common names in the family are Murphy, Doyle, Cotter, Farrell and Case.
-
SENNETT/SINNOTT - several siblings who left Wicklow (possibly Rathdrum area) for West Yorkshire in about 1843-1848, including Joseph (b abt 1817-21) and wife Julia Ann nee RYAN, Edward (b about 1819), George, b about 1820.
Others who left Wicklow for W Yorkshire, and later married into the SENNETT families, including FARRAR, DOYLE, KEARNS/CAIRNS, KENNY/KEANEY/KANEY
RYAN - Julia Ann, b about 1820, and brother John, and father probably John.
While I have a lot of information about these families once they arrived in West Yorkshire (mostly to work in the coal mines), I have yet to confirm exactly where they came from in Ireland. Census usually gives Co Wicklow, and family stories say Wicklow or Dublin, with one branch of the family believing they originated in Rathdrum.

I have some Doyle ancestors from Bray parish, starting with Denis Doyle and Mary Byrne married 1836, children include Denis 1838, Mary 1841, Patrick 1847 and my ancestor Sarah born 1850.
Also in Wicklow I have Fitzsimon ancestors, Ballywaltrin/Killarney townlands, Bray and a possibile link to Kilmacanogue.
Dillons of Ballymacghroe, Hacketstown
Clarkes, of Kilcarrick/Killcarrig near Delgany
and possibly Cantwell.. not sure of origin yet but married in Bray and lived in Ballywaltrin.

Hi Kate
New to this game - I'm chasing O'Brien back to Kilcoole/Kilquade/Bray prior to 1851, when I've found ggg grandfather James (& brother, Henry) in Coniston, Eng.
Griffiths land val shows 5 x BRIEN heads of household - 2 James, Henry, John & Patrick. Next step will have to be a visit to NLI in Dublin.
Any possible connection/advice/query?
Thanx v much

Hi Buttonmoon!
I have an ancestor named James Sennett who lived in Co. Durham (a miner) - in the Census he is listed as born in Wicklow, 1833. He also has been listed as Sinnett.
I really don't know much more about him than that. Do let me know if you think there may be a link?
Regards, Lisa

Carolgriff,
I have a Catherine Donnelly born 1839 who married Robert Johnson on September 15, 1864 in Dunlavin, Co. Wicklow. Her father was Edward Donnelly, wife unknown.
Could they be related to your Donnellys?
Take care and keep smiling!

Update on my SENNETT/SINNOTTs, having just come back from Ireland and a successful visit to the Dublin National Library genealogy room. Note that spellings all vary and seem a bit interchangeable, and these all took on the spelling SENNETT once in England.
Joseph SINNOTT/SYNNOTT and Julia RYAN had four children baptised Temple Rainy Chapel (Avoca Parish) in the early 1840's prior to leaving Ireland for Whitwood, Yorkshire in about 1847/48. (Only two of these survived until the 1851 census, but unsure at this stage if they died in Ireland or Yorkshire).
Not 100 percent confirmed, but highly likely is that Joseph was born and baptised in Castlemacadam (COI), along with at least two siblings. It would seem that this family became catholic with Joseph converting when he married Julia.
Also James SINNOTT who married Martha WHITE (and also ended up in Whitwood, Yorkshire) had most of his children baptised in Castlemacadam parish.
I did pick up quite a lot of other references to SINNOTT/SYNNOTT in Co. Wicklow, and particularly in the Arklow/Rathdrum/Wicklow area so when I can get time to have another look at them I'll check if any relate to any other messages on this thread.
Interestingly on my trip to Ireland I ended up staying at a B & B slap bang in the middle of Avoca Parish and within a couple of miles of where my family came from - totally coincidentally. It was the landlady who told me how to find Temple Rainy chapel.
Also interesting to me is that rather than Joseph coming to england as an unskilled labourer, it would appear that he was likely to be a highly experienced miner - coming from the Avoca copper mines.

Corinne,
I have just posted under a thread "Parkmore" and have just now read this post by you. I think my Elizabeth Sinnott is the daughter of the James Sinnott and Martha White you mention who went to England. I think Elizabeth was a twin. I would be grateful if you could give me any more information you may have on this side of my family. Elizabeth was married to my gg grandfather but they had no children together. She looked looked after his daughter from a previous marriage but story has it that they never got on and the child was sent to boarding school! But I would be grateful for any information you can give me regarding James and Martha and their children to get the picture of the whole thing.
Many thanks,
Irene.

Sorry, your Elizabeth Sinnott b 1835 is a different one from mine born 1825 (to James and Martha), although in the same parish. There is bound to be a relationship somewhere there though - it will just be a bit more distant. I'd be really keen to keep in touch and add whatever you find out about your Sennetts/Sinnotts to the one name study because I am sure at some point there will be a link between us. I guess it just depends how wide you want to spread the net!

Hi buttonmoon
I have just joined the sites and noticed that you are looking for flynn's from edgeworthstown. My great grandparents came from there. They were called Terry and Jane and they settled in Glasgow. Any help to you?
