My Paternal Grandmother was Bridget (known as Bea) Milmoe(1904-1972). She Married Thomas Gallagher in 1924. She had a Brother Patrick (1897-1994), and a sister Kate. Bea's Mother, Mary Dunne died and Be a was reared by her Maternal Grandparents. Her sister Kate, we believe was sent to live with relatives in Scotland. Bea's father (Johnny Milmoe, (her mother's name was Mary Dunne) remarried, but I don't know his 2nd wife's name.
Patrick Married Bridget Killoran, and lived in Rhode Island, USA. The only children of his that I have record of is a Son called James who died in his twenties from a rare blood disorder.
I would also love to find some details of Kate or her relations in Scotland!
Thanks for your time!

It looks like Patrick was married to Elizabeth Killoran. They can be seen on the 1935 Rhode Island state census and 1940 US census on www.familysearch.org, as well as on www.findagrave.com. They appear to have had another son who died young - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F8C8-JRL

Hello Michelle,
Do you have the marriage details for John Milmoe and Mary Dunne. That would give you his father's name if you wanted to go back.
If he stayed in Sligo, there are two possible marriages in 1920.
There are also two possible deaths:
John Milmoe 64 yrs in 1932
John Milmoe 72 yrs in 1941
The first is closer in age I think but ages are never reliable.
Regards
Heywood

Hi Tara,
I was thinking he was with Mary in both censuses ::) he is with Bridget though in 1911 so that looks better!

Michelle, Let me know how you get on with this information, perhaps we can progress now that I know the Scotish connection, and possible American connection,

Thank you Dathai for the information,
Best Wishes

Thank you so much for your information! I have filled a few gaps in my tree!. Is Michael Milmoe (your Great Grandfather) Johnny Milmoe's brother then? (if so we are 3rd cousins!).
The information you posted for Mary Dunne matches what I have - we believe she died in childbirth (my grandmother born in 1904) Johnny Milmoe later married (I think Bridget Noone?) sometime after that. They had a son John Jack (1907).

Hi Rushnesh,
Johnny Milmoe's father was BRYAN OR BERNARD MILMOE he was born in 1837, in Ballymote, Sligo, Ireland, to Michael
Milmoe and Catherine McHugh who married in 1817 in Sligo, Bryan died in 1897, aged about 60, in Ballymote, Sligo,
Ireland. CATHERINE (CAIRNS) KERINS was born in 1842, in Sligo, Ireland, She was christened in Jul - Sep. Catherine died in 1909.
'Sligo, Ireland'.
Bryan Or Bernard Milmoe married Catherine (Cairns) Kerins 'November 28th 1861' in Catholic parish of
Kilmorgan and Emlaghfad. They had seven children:
Bridget Milmoe in 1862
Mary Milmoe in 1864
Johnny Milmoe in 1867 ##-------------------------------
Bernard Milmoe Unknown? in 1871
Michael Milmoe in 1875
Hugh Milmoe about 1878
Catherine Milmoe in 1880.
Bryan or Bernard was a brother of Michael Milmoe my great grandfather so that means he was your Johnny Milmoe's uncle,
I hope this makes sense,
Best Wishes.

Hi Michelle, my name is Barbara and I am researching my birthroots as I was adopted as a week old baby. Through DNA on 23&me I have found that Michael you have been chatting with is also my predicted 3rd cousin. I was just wondering if you have any more information that may help me in my quest? Perhaps I may also be able to help you with any more details as I am in Glasgow.
Kind regards
Barbara x

Barbara,
Can you give me some information regarding DNA can you tell me how it identified Michael as related to you, I have been toying with getting a DNA test for a while but not sure if it will provide good information.

Barbara was last active on this site in 2016 and only posted once, so she may not be back to answer your question.
We have a section on DNA testing here - https://www.rootschat.com/forum/ancestral-family-tree-dna-testing/ There are many threads there on the topic, so there should be some helpful information.
