Looking for any further info anyone has on the Gill and McCauley Familes from Moville.
John McCauley married Maggie Gill in Greenock Scotland in 1905.
Maggies parents were Hugh Gill and Margaret McQuade.
Found a few kids on family search that seem to match the family. Looking for any prevoius generations if anyone has any info.
Johns father was Michael McCauley and mother could be Jeanie Wallace or something similar (hard to make out).
The mother was dead by 1905 and I think this could be the family in the 1901 Census but not 100% sure.

Any help greatly appreciated. Regards Mark

Hi Rathmore,
Thanks for the response and links.
The John ln my tree was born abt 1884 so this one is too old, although it could be an uncle or other relative. I'll save it just in case.

Hi,
That looks like the correct family in the 1901 census, that being the case then John's parents are Michael McCauley and Jane Hemphill, married 1875, Moville. Michaels father was Bernard McCauley and Jane's father was John Hemphill.
A Jane McCauley death registered in 1899, Moville Civil Parish (third quarter) estimated birth 1855
Not sure if Wallace looks like Hemphill, if you want to upload an image of name, may be able to decipher
Regards

Hi Joe,
Been doing lots of re-search on Michael over the last few days and came to the same conclusion as yourself. Managed to download John's death record which confirms his mother was Jane Hemphill. Informant was his wife so pretty sure thats accurate. Not sure what happened with the marriage record but defo looks like Jeanie Wallace.
Found Michael in 1911 Census and he seems to have aged 25 yers instead of 10 lol.
All other family members records look right. Weird.
Great find on the parents names I had Bernard but not Janes father John.
Now to try and find Bernard and John and their families.
Thanks again,
Regards
Mark

Hello Sean, My name is Jason, I'm pretty sure we are related if the info you posted is accurate. I've got some slight variations but i'm fairly confident that we share the same Great Grandfather Michael McCauley. Your Grandfather Michael and mine John were Brothers. I noticed you didn't have any info next to his name. But all those other siblings check out on my end as my Grandfathers siblings with the exception of your Michael, I did not have that name but I do have another sister named Danie.
Mark Harrison above is related by marriage.
Im going to plug your info into my tree and see what results come forth.
Please contact me. I'm on Facebook: Jason McCauley. I won't put my email since it seems they dont want that. I couldnt find an option to send you a message on here. You can look up in Google "
TMC Web Designs" .com in google and get my email from the contact page.
You've got me very excited about this. Out of the blue I just did a random google search for "McCauley Moville Ireland" and happened across this page.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I wouldn't have a clue how to contact you there.
You should be able to email those. Once you do I'll just edit this post to remove those emails.

Sean/ Jason, it's been a while.
Looking in to this line further for a couple of McCauley relatives in the US who are trying to trace their line back.
From the marriage record of Michael and Jane Hemphill we can see that Michaels Father is Bernard. We are exploring a theory that Bernard has a brother Thomas born around 1835 and who moved to the US and that their father may be also called Michael.
Is anyone aware of any local resources for birth Marriage and Deaths. Is anyone aware if their are the church records available. I can't seem to find anything on Family Search or Irish Genealogy as we are pre Civil record dates.
Sean are you from the Moville area or have I picked that up wrong.
Regards Mark

If the family were Catholic and from Moville then there are parish registers online (births, marriages & some deaths from 1847).
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0376
Unfortunately no earlier church records seem to survive-
https://www.johngrenham.com/records/rc_church.php?churchid=0376&parish=Moville
If Moville is not the correct parish you can use the first site to find other parishes.
If the family were not Catholic then you can use the 2nd site to see what records for other denominations might exist.

Thanks aghadowey, its been a while since i looked at the Irish records and I had completely forgotten about the National Library Records

Both my brother and I have taken the FTDNA Big 700 test desperate after 40 years to find where in Ireland our "First American" Thomas McCauley. The US Census reports state my First American was born in Ireland to an Irish mother and Scots father. He was born about 1835 to 1840 in what was later called The Irish Free State.
Thomas immigrated about 1860 to Oyster Bay area of New York.
Our family oral history states Thomas McCauley was a fisherman or a member of the Irish Coast Guard. The family was Roman Catholic.
But until three days ago, I had zero idea where my Thomas was born. I first did DNA testing back in 2007, but since then I have done the BIG 700. Received a notice that my family DNA was very closely matched to families in Moville, Ireland and Greenock Scotland.
My question to the people here is, how do I get additional information for Bernard McCauley living in Moville between 1810 and 1870. I have tried the Irish census of 1851 but can't find him.

We believe Brenard and Thomas were brothers probably both born in Moville and to a Scotts father and a lovely Irish lady. The first born of both Bernard and Thomas were given the name Michael, so it might be possible to assume their Scottish father was named Michael. Where do I find baptismal records for the churches in Moville? Bernard's son Michael was born in 1856 and Thomas's Michael was born in the USA in 1864. Michael McCauley born in Moville in 1856 had a son Michael and his grandson Michael are all listed as seaman in the 1901 Irish census. Thomas McCauley living in Oyster Bay, New York was also a bayman (clam dealer) as were several of his sons. From looking at the Irish census results there are zero results from Donegal for the 1821, 1841 and 1851 as they were all burned.

Read back through the thread again. I posted the link to church registers in reply #13.
I have tried the Irish census of 1851 but can't find him.
The first complete census for all Ireland is 1901. Only small fragments of 1851 survive.
