I realise that my previous posting- subject 'Carrowmore-Lacken/ Kilcummin' could be misleading - unless of course you know the area. I am really after any information about the name Golden/ Goldrick of Rathlacken please. I do have Duffy interests too in the same general area.
Thanks

Hiya Heywood,
Misleading? I did a "search rootschat" and could not find your previous post. It's OK.
I went back to the drawing board. Anyone who may be able to assist click here (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,79338.0.html) for the link.

Thanks Christopher - sorry I haven't checked before- I've been out of touch with Rootschat for a while!
My heart leaped when I saw the new posting but no joy!
I recently spent a lovely holiday in New York and was able to spend 3 days with a fellow 'Golden' in New York state- we 'met' through the internet. 'Our' Goldens seemed to find their way to USA rather England.

Hello,
I just found your post expressing interest in Duffys from the Rathlacken--Kilcummin area of County Mayo.
My Duffys are from Carrowtrasna, a subdivision of Kilcummin.
Three Duffy brothers farmed in Carrowtrasna--Michael, Anthony, and John. Michael was my great, great grandfather. He had at least one son, Anthony Duffy, my great grandfather.
My great grandfather, Anthony, married Bridget Killeen from Ballinlena--another subdivision of Kilcummin.
Does any of this help you?

I am not sure if this strand is still active, but I thought I would try. My Great-Grandfather was James Golden of Rathlacken. I recently visited Rathlacken from the States and found out that there were at least two Golden lines in Rathlacken and I have further information on at least one of them that I'm trying to piece together. If this discussion is still active, I'm happy to share what I know and see if we have any relations.

Hello Chris,
yes it is active in that I'm still a member and welcome to rootschat.
We have a James Golden in our research - son of Andrew Golden and Ann Armstrong.
I say 'we' because I have been in contact previously through researching several of the Goldens and may well have 'spoken' to members of your family. :D
My little picture is from Rathlacken - you may recognise it.

Thanks for the quick response, Heywood. I noticed that you ended up meeting with some Goldens in New York during your visit. You may have met my cousin Marigold in Queens.
My wife and I spent two weeks in Ireland last year and I'm still trying to sift through the information I gathered about our family. I visited both the new and old cemetaries in town and took pictures of all of the Golden headstones to try and help me.
I also stopped into the pub and the bartender pointed me to a Golden family in town and I had the chance to meet with several of them during my visit . A wonderful experience. I look forward to finding out more about my (our?) family. As I do I'll let you know in case it helps you.

Hi I have just stumbled accross your messages regarding the goldens of Rathlacken. My mum was a Golden from Rathlacken, so if you would like any further information then please get in touch

Hello blast,
our ancestors are Andrew Golden and Ann Armstrong who had a large family in Rathlacken in 1800s. I have been in contact with some descendants in USA.

I think I may have emailed back and forth with at least one of you. I know it's an old thread but tossing my hat into the ring. I am a Rathlackan Goldrick/Golden descendent living in Scranton, PA area.
James Goldrick/Golden in US married to Catherine Carden. Father of James was Anthony. Also spelled Goulrick on a marriage cert. Golching on an immigration sheet....much digging done THERE. Must have been some pretty heavy brogues or some skeletons they were running from ;D
And I might add...I'm struggling to see heywood's wee little pic of Rathlackan :).

Hello :)
what a surprise to see a post on this topic :o
I think we have communicated a while ago through a mutual friend in NY state who collated Golden emigrations some years ago and I helped a bit with the gathering of the information! I haven't looked at that for a long time now. I have stored some of the info on my other computer or in print offs.
I do remember the Carden connection though.
Have you seen the Golden/Langan site? That is quite interesting.
I think you might struggle even more now re the picture as I think it has now disappeared from the landscape. It was a little ruin which I'm sure wasn't there last year. I had kind of claimed it as my 'ancestral home' although I still have close relatives living in the area whose houses are slightly more weatherproof ;D
Lovely to hear from you

Yes, I know which mutual friend you refer to. ..thought so. I was so ambivalent about connecting people to this line at the time until I felt certain. I mixed myself up more in the process. I am now trying to dig myself out of the quagmire. A Carden relative contacted me several years ago also and I did not explore that to it's fullest potential either. I got to a point where I had to simply step back. I then lost the aunt who inspired me so it took a while to return. It was a request for help that made me open it....now....Let's just say my file on computer has been open for days on end now.
I urge anyone who has not ventured back in for a look-see to do so. Even on the pay sites, info has been updated over a few short years. I have not seen the Golden Langan site but will google it shortly.
I've seen a "relative" has made a definitive connection with a Anthony Goldrick/Bridget Scott marriage early 1800's. Are you familiar with this as it greatly helps me in my old ambivalence.
I have only been to Ireland twice and not to Mayo (much to my dismay but family itinerary prohibited it). I understand your connection to the ruins. I stepped off the plane as an adult and felt oddly, at home.

My father, James J. Golden, born in NYC, was the son of James Francis Golden and Annie Golden Golden. They are both in the 1901 and 1911 census. Having two Golden lines suggests that my father has genes from both lines. His DNA is available on FamilyTree DNA; he's a Niall of the Nine Hostages type. Interestingly, given all the Pennsylvania references, my grandfather first arrived in the US in 1912 and stayed with a Mrs. McLaughlin in the Scranton area. She surely was a relative.
My grandfather's parents were Patrick Golden and Bridget Flannelly and my grandmother's parents were Andrew Golden and Kate Kearney. Going farther back: Armstrong, Forde, Kelly. Other relatives include: Robinson, Earley, McHale, Lynott.
My husband and I just returned from a 2-week trip to Ireland and found both the old and new cemeteries in Killala.

Hello Marie,
Welcome to Rootschat :) We have all been in touch through our friend several years ago. My line is Andrew Golden/Anne Armstrong.
I trust you enjoyed your visit to Ireland.
I think there was a Golden/Mclaughlin connection in Beltra when we looked at the families but I would have to check.

Hi, I'm doing my husband's family tree and the line I'm following is Anthony Goldrick & Bridget Scott, who are the great grandparents of his mother. The information I have on them is that one of their sons, Patrick Goulrick (Goldrick) married Bridget Dooher in 1867, in Co Mayo, one of their sons Anthony born 1873, married Winifred Golden in 1904 in Co Mayo. Their daughter Annie Marie Goldrick born 1905, went on to have a daughter Bridget Goldrick (my husband's mother) in 1927. No marriage certificate found so far for Annie Marie. I have other information which I would like to exchange with anyone else searching this line of Goldrick/Golden
-
Hello Marmyall,
glad to hear from you. I see you have information - I just checked mine and not much different to you.
According to my info, the family changed from Golden to Goldrick in 1864 Land Records. As you may know, there were lots of Goldens in Rathlacken.
There is no info either re Anna Maria's marriage in one source I have. Did she stay in Ballina?
best wishes

Hi
As far as I know Annie Marie stayed in Ballina, that's where her daughter Bridget was born and raised. Bridget came over to England, to work in service, we think in the late 1930's or early 1940's, starting of in the Birmingam area before moving to Lancashire where she met and married my late father in law Harry Myall. They married in 1947 in Worsley. In doing the research I've noticed that the family go between Golden and Goldrick as often as the see fit.
-
Hi,
Sorry I meant to add that according to my information, I have a Golden marrying into the Goldrick name, but that some of the Goldricks changed their name back to Golden or to McGoldrick when they moved to different areas.
-
Its a while since I looked at any records but have some land records where the name changes for the one family from Golden to Goldrick and I think it stays much that way after that with just some spelling variations.
Yes I think I looked at Martin Goldrick, who may have been known as McGoldrick in USA sometimes.
With regard to Annie Marie, there is a marriage for an Annie Goldrick in Ballina in 1928 in the indexes :-\
The Rathlacken disaster booklet doesn't have her married but mentions her daughter Bridget - that information presumably came from family.
-
Hi
Your right with Martin McGoldrick, I've checked him out he's the brother of Anthony Goldrick born 1873 who is Bridget's grandfather. Martin changed his name when he went to the USA.
I'll check out that marriage you mention, I've not come across that before.
Thanks
-
There is possibly a connection with my Goldens but as said earlier - such a lot! Your Goldrick family were enumerated next to my relatives in the census and if I recall, Martin and his wife emigrated together with one of my relatives and went to another.
There are other people, perhaps who you have been in touch with, who are closer to the Goldricks and hopefully, they may see your posts.
I hope that marriage does work out but it is difficult to know without purchasing the details.
I did look for any clues for Annie in the Leigue cemetery and the local Lacken ones but can't spot anything.

Hi Dee and welcome :)
This is good news!
You need to post 3 messages and then we can pm each other. You don't need to say anything much in your posts so I look forward to messaging you soon.

Hello. This is just a long shot, so bear with me. Looking for parents of Mary (Flynn) Daley. Mary emigrated to the US and married John Daley (also emigrated to the US). Mary and John married in Lafayette, Indiana in the 1850s.
John Daley was born about 1827 in Ireland and died in Idaho in 1903. Maybe Sligo or Mayo--just know it was northwest part of Ireland.
Mary was born in Ireland 1831/1832. As for her birth location, Dublin. Also have information she was born in County Connacht. She died in 1912 in Idaho.
The only information I have for Mary's parents are that her father's name could be Andrew Flynn, and her mother's name was Ann/Anne/Mary Ann Golden. However, I have also seen the last name "Armstrong" among some records but it's possible that may be her mother's maiden name.
Any thoughts?
-
Hello,
Connacht is a province not a county and Sligo and Mayo are part of that province.
You say Mary may have been born in Dublin, or somewhere in Connacht. You would really need more specific information to find Mary.
I can't see a connection to my Golden/Armstrongs at the moment.
Best wishes
Heywood

Thanks. That's been the problem. Too bad there wasn't more information.
