I hope that someone might be able to help me in my quest! I am trying to find where in Kilbeagh that Margaret Clossick/Classick was from. We know she came to the United States when she was 17 along with, Mary Classick 50, Michael Classick 9, Mary Classick 6, Thomas infant. They all came on the Cambridge on May 17th 1850. She would later marry a Francis Perkins who also was from Ireland. Family legend says they met on the boat on the way over. He was supposed to be from County Cork but I can not find him there. Is there a way to check if any Perkins were from the area near Kilbeagh? Thank you in advance for any help.

Have you made any progress, or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
My husbands mom is from Kilbeagh Parish. I went on to the Lietrim Roscommon 1901 Census website and looked up your family. Clossick and Closick are found in Kilbeagh Parish it is a big parrish but depending what homeplace they were from they could have known each other. Hope this helps I know it has been a few years since you were on this site. Look up the census online.

Thank you for all of your replies! Had lost track of this site and it has been so long that I have heard nothing. It would seem that my Irish roots have disappeared in the mist of time. Will check out the census if I can find it on the net. Again thanks for all of your ideas!

In case you could not find it. The site is.

Hi
in my tree I have the Ruanes and Phillips and Walsh from Lowpark Roscommon then Mayo 1860's.
I am trying to find James Clossick married to Mary (Maimie) Ruane from Lowpark Carracastle Mayo. She was married previously to Thomas Coleman but that could have been the 2nd marriage. Clossicks went to USA I think because they had a son Sonny born 1910 ish, who died 1994 in missouri usa. does anyone know anything about these 3 people? I am having great difficulty finding anything out about any of them!
please anyone can you help?

We have communicated before about the Clossicks and Rooneys who were in Liberty (Union Co) Indiana about 1850. I recently visited Ireland and went to Charlestown which is where you find the old Kilbeagh Parish. Information I have points to this parish and to the townlands of Lurga & Kilgarriff specifically for my family. Since this posting of yours is very old, you may have already figured these things out, but just in case - Look at this link: http://www.failteromhat.com/post1845.php
for the name Clossick in Kilbeagh Parish, County Mayo.
And look on this site http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/cgi-bin/newcen-srch
for the name Clossick in Kilbeagh Parish, County Mayo.
Hope this helps.

Dear Linda:
Thanks for the tip! Glad you could make it over there as I envy you for that! I along with Patricia Perkins did find where they became citizens of the United States in Liberty, Indiana court records both Francis Perkins and his brother John Perkins came to the US in 1847 and left county Sligo to come to New York. Since the counties are very close to each other we may be narrowing in on the search. If you found yours there as well it makes it all the more likely they are from this area. We are still trying and hope to find something soon.

Hi Kevin,
Take a look at this link
http://www.carracastle.com/bro-jim-horkans-golden-jubilee-130.html
and look at the third picture on this site which includes a man named Martin Classick. Maybe you can contact this parish to contact this man. It looks like a great possibility to finding your answer!! Let me know if you find out anything that matches!
Also, were the records from the court in Union Co, Liberty, IN, for the Classicks or the Perkins? Did they say their place of birth?
Linda

Linda I am searching for your email. Yes, their papers were their intent to become citizens of the US in 1854. They said they arrived in Indiana in November of 1850. They came to the US in 1847 and said they were from county Sligo. They could not read nor write and only made their X. I have little else to go on.

Kiltaglassan:
Thanks for all of you Clossick information! I only know that My ggrandmother came from County Mayo in 1850 to the states. She was traveling with her sister-in-law Mary and her children Michael, Mary and Thomas, infant. They would end up in Terre Haute, Indiana. All the names you cited are the exact same names in the family over here except they spelled it Classick. On her death certificate in 1906 they said her father was Dominic and her mother Bridget Newman. Since none of them could read or write it makes it tough. Oh, she married a Francis Perkins from County Sligo in Cinciniatti Ohio in 1852. All I know for now, but always hoping to find a link!
Again Thanks!
