It would really help if you could give us an idea of dates and any other information you already have (for example, are any of these people related to each other and where have you already searched for them).
-
Well here goes,
We beleive that our McGoohans are from Ballinamore. We know that some of them came to Scotland about 1850. The reason that I posted it is the family names are the same as some of the ones that we have. I do not know if these people are related, but have been looking for 2 years now, so guess it is worth a post. McGoohan is fairly unusual name, (well it is here in Scotland) so I was hoping that someone may recognise it.
This was some info that someone kindly gave me, so I posted it and hopefully someone may know. I had a look at the 1901 census and some of the names are there.
Kind regards
Lynda
-
Still not sure of dates for any of these names. The ones you found in 1901 census should have ages to give you a rough idea. 1911 census will hopefully be online sometime next year and that might help you.
To see if any McGoohans, or similar surname, where there in 1850s check Griffith's Valuation (place search):
http://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/gv_family_search_form.php
Also try checking LDS site (it is fairly good about bringing up results with alternative spellings):
www.familysearch.org

Many thanks for this info.

Bridget Kelleher 25, Maggie Kelleher 20 both cousins
Anne 50 widow farmer; Francis 28, Maria 25, Murtagh 20, Willie Armstrong 15 farm servant. Lizzie Conlon 12 servant
Above spelled Macgoohan
Below spelled McGoohan - although the spelling at that time was pretty irrelevant

George 40 farmer, Maria 38, Pat 16, Mary Kate 14, Bridget 12, Rose Anne 11, Charles 3, George 1,

One of these (or all?) is the family of actor Patrick McGoohan. Lizzie Conlon above is my great aunt and she and her sister always maintained some relationship existed between them and Pat McGoohan.
Jim
And if you followed AD's advice and tried Ask Ireland you should have lots to work on.

Hi There,
Just to say many thanks for this info snd we aare working on it at the moment. Hopefully we can resolve where our McGoohan come from.
One again many thanks,
Kind regards,

Hi Lynda,
I too am looking for a McGoohan ( think!) I say I think because I couldn't really decipher the name on the marriage certificate of my great grandfather. However, it looks as though it might be Mcgoohan. I'm looking for Julia Mcgoohan who married William Smith probably in County Cavan and moved to County Leitrim. My great grandfather was born around 1850. Do you think we could be looking for the same people?
Cheers

Hi again Lynda,
I recently travelled to Ireland to see if I could trace my ancestors. The leitrim Genealogy Centre turned this info up for me. My Great, great grandfather, Peter Smyth to Judith Magoohan on 4 November 1847 in Outeragh Roman Catholic parish. I think this is my Peter Smith and Judith becme Julia McGoohan. Do you think there is any link with your McGoohans?
Cheers
Sharyn

Hello Sharyn,
Lovely to hear from you again.
I have been researching the McGoohan family for over 2 years now. I am certain that they are all the same family. My reason for saying this is that the name in itself is very rare. I also beleive that as they have migrated all over the world, the name has been transcribed in different ways bythe people who interpretted it and wrote it down. This was due to the bearers illiteracy. In Scotland, it has ben transcribed as McGowan, McGoochan, McGoughan, McOugh and several other combinations. So this has left me no alternative , but to conclude that McGoohans are not a common name in Ireland. I would say that all those from the Oughterragh/Ballinamore area are indeed alone family. I am replying off the top of my head here so hope that all the place names are correct.
You can let me knw if I can help you further.
Kind regards,
Lynda
-
Looking at the info Jim gave you, and looking at the info I have, there was a Maria Magoohan who was witness to Owen Quinn's and Bridget Smith's marriage in 1884 in Drumreilly.
Have you put any pieces together yet to find out which family members belong to which?
Cheers
Sharyn

Hi Lynda,
I have McGoohan (and spelling variations) family born in Killahurk, Carrigallen, Co. Leitrim. Is your connection to Oughterragh a firm one, or is Carrigallen possible?
My great grandmother, Alice McGoohan (dob unknown) married Thomas Richards in Aughavas, Co. Leitrim, 10 May 1886. While I have some information on the couple, a lot of the material is tenuous at best. My great grandfather was probably Protestant as there is family conviction that he changed religion to marry Alice.
Alice's parents were Thomas McGoohan and Alice McGurn, dates unknown. Siblings probably included Daniel and Patrick (b. 1865?) and possibly others. Family stories have Patrick emigrating to the US, where the family name was known as McGowan.
The McGoohan spelling was found via a researcher in Ireland and was a total surprise to us.
Contact me if you think you have some connections here or would like more information. Best wishes with your search.

Hi Dogzilla,
Thanks for making contact. Mcgoohan is a very unusual name here is Scotland. It is my husbands family. Myself and Ronnie McGoohan have been doing this for a long time now. The furthest back that we have got with it is John McGoohan and Bridget Rousle. (probably Russel) born c1795 and 1798 respectively.
It has been suggested by someone that we have a direct link to Patrick Mcoohan the actor but I have never been ale to prove this. We beleive that they may have come from ballinamore, Co Leitrim. No one is very sure where he roots are. Our Patrick c1835, seems to have come to Scotland with his mother ridget, sister Bridget, brother edward. hey lived in West Lothian and died there. Patrick came to Edinburgh and married sarah Conway in 1859 and lived in the Cowgate. We never found the marriage cert for a ong time as it was registered under the name McGowan. He worked as a Mason's labourer. He died in 1904 in the poorhouse. My husand is his gt grandson.
Anyway it is good to hear from you.
Happy New Year,
Lynda

Hi Lynda,
A few of my great uncles (Richards) left Leitrim and went to Scotland before emigrating to America in the early 1920s. Their mother was Alice McGoohan, but perhaps her surname morphed into McGowan somehow while her sons were living in Scotland, as your post suggests. That was the name they used on official documents here in the U.S. Until a few years ago, we had no idea of the McGoohan name what so ever.
If my searches turn up anything of use to you I'll be in touch. Thanks for your speedy reply.
All the best,
Anne
McGoohan, Richards, McKeon, Stretton, Dolan, O'Rourke

Thank you also. My tree is on enes Reunited....Keep in touch, Lynda

Hello, I am a McGoohan and my parents were from Ballinamore, Co.Leitrim. I saw your query. My Father's name was Hubert McGoohan (Hugh). He was from Aughoo, Ballinamore, Co.Leitrim.
-
Hello McGoo,
Thanks for getting in touch. I and cousin Ronnie have been researching the McGoohan family for several years now.
Our branch came from Ireland in thelate 1840's or early 1850's and some settled in West Lothian and Edinburgh.
I should mention that the McGoohans are my husbands family. His Gt grandfather was Patrick McGoohan, born c1832. His mother was Bridget Dorigan/Dunigan. Some of the documents have been difficult to decipher. Patrick married Sarah Conway in 1858 in Edinburgh. (We have not been able to follow Sarahs line back as there have been no hints as to where she may have come from.Almost certainly Irish though). It seems that Patrick came to Scotland sometime during or after the potato famine. We thought that his mother Bridget had stayed in Ireland. It looks as if His father John may have died and his mother brought the family here to Scotland. We are still trying to unfold the story.
Do you think you may be able to help us unravel their story. I am happy to share information with you.
Kind regards,
Lynda
-
I would be delighted to help but may not be much help - My Father (hubert McGoohan) died in 2006 and there is only 1 member of his family still alive - We never went back through the family tree but if you have any specific questions that I might be able to help you with regarding the current generation I would gladly help
-
Thanks for getting back to me McGoo. I will ask loads o questions and try and see if your family and ours are linked. Unfortunately though I have to go North to Glencoe as an elderly relative is dying so I will be off line for a couple o days.
Take care,
Lynda

My family ( McGuckin) came from Leitrim. Edward married Mary Finnegan in 1853? then moved to Scotland (with hisbrother Francis , i think ).
They lived in Edinburgh , recorded as magoohan , mcgowan,mcguchan etc then moved to dundee in 1889?
mcguckins now live in dundee and many other places. I think they are all the same family. irish records often have gookian,etc.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. It is really difficult to say if the families are connected. However, I am aware that Patricks daughter Mary, c1860 did marry in Dundee. (Iwas there today). She married a Patrick Kelly. I came across this quite by accident one night. In fact a lot of my McGoohan finds have been by accident. There seem to be many variations of the way the name has been spelt and I suppose it depended on the person who was scribing the name and information. Our Patrick had a brother called Edward and he lived and died in Dechmont, West Lothian. I am going to try and spend some time later this month on the McGoohans and see if I can find out more information. I am happy to share what I know with you though as I have a fairly comprhensive line of McGoohans.
Kind regards,
Lynda

I have found a bucket of information about Mc Goohans at aughoo east . The name originally came from Co Down My family is known to have been resetltled there with the Mc Cartans in the 1700s . The name was orignally thought to be a sub clan of the O Rourkes ,. My ancesstor is Thomas Mc Goohan from Aughoo
My great grandfather
-
I am noy yhe greatest on the computer but further to the earlier
The original Mc Goohans were resettled in the araea around Ballinamore possibly because of the Clements Family Lord Leitrim and his connections with Co Down
My other ancestors were Daniel , Hubert,( Hugh)[and they lived within the vicinity of Ballinamore from 1800 or before, there is a family record in Griffiths Valuation, the House of Commons journal and in the state papers for various reasons and I have carried out and written on this subject. I have a genuine interest in the McGoohan family name and am interested in having a Clan gathering in Ballinamore . There are so many stories to tell and so much to discover Mick
-
Hi there - I am also a McGoochan/McGoohan etc. I originate from London. My father and Grandfather came from Scotland but beyond that they came from Ireland.
I have a dear cousin up in Scotland, Lynda, who is much more able to help you than I am so I have sent her an e mail to make her aware of your message. I am sure she will reply to it shortly .
In the meantime I will follow this thread.
Rosie May ;)

Well Rosie my dear...e did say Ballinamore about 4 years ago....I am unawqre of this post but it does seem interesting......xx
-
Hi to all
I note on the end of one of the posts, the reference to Fitspatrick and Conway . Has anyone O'Rourke as an ancestor or relative , I have researched both and it was with this that the discoveries were made . My family is related to Fitzpatrick from Mohill and there are some others in USA
I live in Dublin and have access to archival materiel.
Census information is publically available for 1901 and 1911 and there is an Ellis Island site which has
p passenger lists, a requirement for any ships Captain, who entered the US using New York as an entry port.
I have been digging for years and will share any info Ive got Photos are limited other than of my own family

Hi to all you who have posted and thanks very much for the interesting information.
I have not worked on my McGoohan side of the family for the past couple of years as I have been concentrating more on the other half of the family.
However, I have tried to look back on the info I had previously collected and it is as follows: (some of it has already been said by Lynda previously)
The furthest we have got back to is John McGoohan born in Ireland c1810, died 1845 in Ireland. He married a Bridget Dunigan. On Family Search it states John as being born in Sligo?
They had 5 children.
Edward born 1832
Bridget born 1833
John born 1834
Mary born 1835
Patrick born 1841 All in Ireland.
Patrick then goes to Scotland and marries Sarah Conway in Leith in 1859. Have not been able to find anything out about Sarah Conway, but presume she too came from Ireland.
They had 9 children, all born in Edinburgh.
John McGoohan born 1810 is my Great Great Great Grandfather, Patrick born 1841 is my Great Great Grandfather, James born 1867 is my Great Grandfather and James born 1887 is my Grandfather.
It is through James born 1887 where the Fitzpatrick connection comes in as he married a Bridget Fitzpatrick.
I have never been able to establish for certain where our McGoohan family originated from as the Irish records I always found difficult to access.
I knew several McGoohans went over to America, then using the name McGowan.
Mick The name McCartan you mention does not seem to crop up in anything I have found so far. Is it possible for you to please try and look up particularly John McGoohan, as you live in Ireland, as any help on him and Sarah Conway would be invaluable to us in our research.
I believe several of the McGoohan family came over with Patrick in or before 1859 before his marriage to Sarah Conway and settled in Scotland. Paticks mother Bridget Dunigan also followed to Scotland and infact died there.
I hope this is not too confusing to you and would appreciate any help, however small.
Many thanks
Rosie :)

The reason our ancestors ended up in Leitrim happened before that It linked to Castlewellan Co Down The Irish version of the name was O Cuachain. They were closely aligned with Mc Cartans and the ORourkes and the lived at that time ni Co Down They moved to Leitrim and there are estate papers for the Clement Family
they had estates in both Castlewellan and at Mohill Lough Rynn . The title Clements had was Lord Leitrim. There are references to them in Griffiths valuation and there is a paper which I have on the Co Down connection. My relatives were Thomas Daniel etc My uncles name was Daniel he was a lot younger but its the same family. Like you I had given up on the research but discovered this by accident. Have other info but it irelat es to my grandfather Daniel like poor Ellen he got sentenced to hard labour, got a pardon and it certainly changed their life at the time and the life of others with the same name and related. There is evidence of this and it was brought up in the house of commons at the time. I live in Dublin appear to be the same age as yourself and am once more engrossed in the topic. Mick

Hi Rosie
Incidental my great great grandfather was Patrick isn't that interesting .. I have been in touch with some and have some time within the next week to go rooting again I really don't know whether this is public forum or is the place for the discussion to continue ? I really think a clan reunion is on whenever. Genuinely I will forward any information I can as soon as I have it It relly makes interresting reading I am learning how to communicate on this device Mick
-
Hi Mick,
I have just seen this post and for what ever reason had not been notified....uncle Frankie said that they came from the south...but am not rally sure that he knew this...he also said that they were off the 'tinkers...the lot of them'. He was the son of Francis McGoohan and Mary Jane Mckay and I will get back to you with all the detail of this search as well...it is on the Edinburgh/Midlothian forum and was done about 4 years ago...we were all over the place with it..
I will get back to you tomorrow night with details of my McGoochans.
Regards,
Lynda

Hi Rosie and Lyndie Loo
This some of what I have found and I hope gives insight in studying social change and history ,I always look at what were the reasons. I always look objectively at results.
There is an account of the Dollie Brae Incident that was infamous and emotive at the time 1860 this was an incident that initiated movement to Leitrim, for the Mc Goohans, with the McCartans the connection being the Clements Family, Lord Leitrim who had estates in Co Down.The McGoohans are listed as tenants farmers
of Landlords,the Gore ,and Penroses. The first clearances from the estates in Co Down were of tenant farmers to Longford it would appear starting in 1760 They later ressetled around Ballinamore essentially a swampland before the canal drainage was put in . Aughoo is the Anglicization of Northern Ford in Irish or Gaelic Ath Thuadh
Dollies Brae was commerated emotively since that time. The is a lot more info this what I will be rooting out. It indicates we are a rare lot ? With an amazing history
This account I found interesting? Anything in lower case is my comment on the piece. The rest is verbatim from the extract. The Irish name for Mc Goohan , was O Cuachain, Mc Guckin etc have the same Irish name. While the links are tenuous to these fanilies ,people emigrating used the se anglicised variations for protection, there is evidnce of this.
Mick
All below except as I indicared in the lower case is the extract
This account of the McCartans settling in County Leitrim was obtained from Patrick Tohill in Carrick on Shannon. The information originator was Peter McCartan of Kiltygarry, County Leitrim:
This statement was taken around 1900.
'If there is any means of showing such information, I would like to put on record the only tradition I ever met in my 20 years in Connaught, of people here whose ancestors came from Ulster in the upheaval of the plantation. It is that sometime between the Battle of the Boyne and Queen Anne a convoy of families all of the three surnames Mc Cartan, Mc Goohan and Mc Guckian vacated Dolly's Brae near Belfast and moved at first to County Longford, but failing there they settled in the townland of Kiltygarry near Ballinamore in County Leitrim. They are still living there but the surnames have scattered further. McGuckian is so widespread over south Leitrim as to cause incredibility... The McCartans are in fair number round Kiltygarry and for miles out. The McGoohans declined'.
After leaving Dolly's Brae, Castlewellan, County Down, in a time of great upheaval, these families, with all the belongings and livestock, they could muster, trekked firstly to Ballinamuck in County Longford. This area has some of the poorest land in Ireland. Most of the Mc Cartans had moved into the neighbouring county of Leitrim by 1760, although today the surname has survived around Drumlish in county Longford.
(There are also McCartans near Ballinamore and Newtowngore A decendant of that family has a similar interest in his history which meshes ours. Mick)
In county Leitrim the McCartans settled around the town of Ballinamore. A lease dated 1756 in the Registry of Deeds, Dublin, gives Hugh Mc Cartan, Laurence Mc Cartan and Patrick Mc Cartan as tenants of lands on the shores of Lough Garadice. Their landlord was William Gore, from whom they rented lands in Aughlinavallen, Carricknaheegan, and Clinabothin.
(These could be misspelt Aughawillan and Carrickmackeegan , Mick)
In Fenagh graveyard, near the ancient monastery founded by Saint Caillin in the sixth century, are an abundance of McCartan gravestone-inscriptions.
On a personal note, I would dearly love to meet anyone with a similar dedicated interest in family history. There is so much more that I have discovered in relation to the reasons,certainly mine and your(our) Family emigration around that time and before.
Mick
-
This is amazing....I often wondered what had happened and put it down to the fact that Irish family history is renowned for being difficult. As I said, I will get back to you later with the facts as I know them and have them listed...it is at least 2 years since I was doing this research so need to familiarise myself with the names and dates...also it is my estranged husbands side...we still speak so I can call him if I need to confirm anything...
Regards,
Lynda

Interested in the Mcgoohan connections. My Great Grandmother was Maria Smith m Hugh Roddy, Mayo, Ballinamore, her parents I believe were Peter Smith and Julia/Judith McGoohan. Maria had a sister Bridget I think who married Quinn lived in Drumreilly? and a sister Ann who married Bernard McDermott(RIC) and lived in Ballyfarnon.

Hello
I am very interested in the origins of the McGoohan surname. My grandmother was Catherine 'Kate' McGoohan. She came from Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim. I have always believed that the surname is Scottish in origin. Last year one of my grandmother's nieces, Ellen McGoohan, told me that our family originated from Castlewellan, Co. Down. I have seen comments on this site from 'Mick' which seem to confirm the origins. It also gives weight to my own beliefs that the surname originates from Scotland. There were many settlers of Scottish origin in Ulster. If anyone has any more information I would be very interested to hear from you - particularly Mick who seems to know a lot about our origins.
Thank you
Lettie Fortune

My Grandmother was Bridget McGoohan from Ballinamore i believe ? She came to Glasgow not sure when married to Francis Dunne Whose son was James Dunne born 1917 my Father, their daughter was Mary Dunne my aunt Im trying to trace which Mc Goohans would be my Great Grandparents Im Marie Dunne born Glasgow 1958 t

You don't give ages for anyone so maybe Bridget is on 1901 census??

Hi Rosie,
I have just done a bit more delving into our mcgoohan side and come across a Fitzpatrick link too. Our McGoohans came from county Cavan and some stayed there and some came to glasgow.
I'm due to get more information from Cavan this week as they've found a daughter Bridget I was unaware of and her marriage. If you have a Cavan connevtion with your mcgoohans it's highly likely we are at the very least cousins as the name in Cavan is quite rare.
If you are interested in getting in touch my email address is (*) as I don't often use rootschat.
Hope to hear from you
Thanks
Steph

Can you maybe give names (and dates) for the seven children you have already found?
Are they on the 1901/1911 Irish censuses?
We may be able to help if you supply more information.

Just looking at this old thread and came across this statement-
Their landlord was William Gore, from whom they rented lands in Aughlinavallen, Carricknaheegan, and Clinabothin.
(These could be misspelt Aughawillan and Carrickmackeegan …)
Maybe these are the townlands that are being mentioned-
Carrickmakeegan townland
