Title: Sligo Birth 1886
Post by: chappers on Monday 13 May 19 16:20 BST (UK)
Hello,

One of my ancestors was born at Mount Shannon, Parish of Calry, Sligo in Oct. 1886.  I have tried to find out if Mount Shannon is a house or hospital, or area of Sligo.  Does anyone know if Mount Shannon is an actual building as I cannot find an area of Sligo with that name.  Many thanks

Carol

Thanks EV for the very useful information and link.  Mount Shannon is obviously a fine looking house and I'm wondering how my ancestor came to be born there.  His family were not landed gentry.  Perhaps they worked there.
Thanks again
Carol

Well we can't comment as we can't see record.....  I imagine they are among these Birth results in Dromore West from 1886 to 1886 http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nsd/

Hi, thanks for all the replies.  The birth is not amongst those in Dromore West, the record name is Withers and the birth in Registrar District Sligo no. 1.  I just wanted to know what or where Mount Shannon is.
Thanks again

Is that the right family aghadowey?

Here is Annie with son Joseph (Edward) who i think is Carol’s ancestor.

Many thanks to all for your replies.  My ancestor is indeed Joseph E Withers born at Mount Shannon and his father was John Withers the tailor mentioned in the Sligo Champion, thanks for that information, not seen that before.  Violet of the Birds Nest who I've just found out about was John Withers' granddaughter.  I'm pleased to receive all this information, thanks again

Thanks Carol. I thought they must be related.
So John Withers snr married a Withers and and John jnr married a Withers - confusing  :)

Hello, thanks for your messages.  Yes you are right, two men named John Withers married their own first cousins.  It is confusing especially when they have the same name.  You've confirmed that my research is right!
