Title: Meagher/Maher of Carrig, Monsea. Nenagh
Post by: mgtken on Thursday 23 August 12 23:44 BST (UK)

I am searching for five sisters of my grandfather. Their names: Mary, Anne, Sarah, Margaret and Ellen Meagher. Born between 1855 and 1868 in Carig, Monsea, Nenagh. Co. Tipperary. Their brothers John and James (my grandfather) and sister Hanora (called Nora) remained in Ireland. Their parents were James Meagher (a farmer) and Mary Meagher. As I cannot find any marriage records I am assuming that they emigrated. I have no idea to where, as we only discovered they existed last month. If anyone has any info I would be most grateful as I feel that if we find one we will find more with her.

Hi Tara.
Marys maiden name was also Meagher or Maher. I have found nine baptismal certs for this couple....there were two Ellens, four years apart so the first died as a young child. I was hoping that the names might ring a bell with someone out there. As my grandfathers parents married in feb 1855 there is no one who remembers them obviously and my grandfather died in 1925 so I am finding it difficult to find links in our family tree.....any one with any possible info???? I'd really appreciate it.
Margaret

I forgot to add that Mary Meagher or Maher was also from Monsea Parish but we think she may have been from Knigh or Ballyanny townslands....
