Title: Look-up Request - Derrygasson
Post by: Bhoy on Tuesday 18 November 08 16:14 GMT (UK)
 . . on the assumption that it's ok to post a look-up request here.

I'm interested in the townland of Derrygasson (or Derrygassan) Lower, near Emyvale.  In Griffith there are only 9 households. 

Is anyone here able to look up the 1901 and 1911 census records for this townland?  (Monaghan is well down the list for digitisation . . . )

I'm particularly interested in the family of John O'Brien, who appears in the Griffith records.  John himself was dead before 1890 and his wife Margaret died about 1901, so I'm not sure who would have been the head of the household after that.

Thanks.

Irish Records online........

The records for 1911 are being digitised first, then those for 1901. The 1911 Census records for Antrim, Down and Kerry will now be placed online in December, rather than October, as previously hoped. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your patience. Publication of the other counties will follow, in the order listed below, between then and mid-2009. More precise timescales will be posted when available.

    * Donegal
    * Cork
    * Wexford
    * Galway
    * King’s County (Offaly)
    * Limerick
    * Mayo
    * Waterford
    * Armagh
    * Carlow
    * Cavan
    * Clare
    * Fermanagh
    * Kildare
    * Kilkenny
    * Leitrim
    * Londonderry (Derry)

Hi, I stumbled upon your post. I am currently doing my tree, and my grandmother was Margaret O’Brien, born of John, Derrygassan. I think that my great grandfather was the John you are asking about. There was only that O’Brien family in Derrygassan at the time I believe.

Trying again to see if Janeyrose88 notices this time. (Still can't PM her.)

John was also my great-grandfather. Margaret's brother Patrick was my grandfather. Be great to make contact.

Hi there, I have just seen this, and really pleased to have done! I can’t accept PMs apparently due to not having enough posts. Happy to chat further though
