I am trying to find out about Patrick Basquill born in 1844 in Castlebar. I have been told, but can find no evidence, that his father was Patrick James Basquill b 1814 also in Castlebar.
Patrick b 1844 appears in the 1871 census in Stockport Cheshire married to Mary Giles also from Ireland.
If anyone has information that could help I would be really grateful

Hi Tillymint,
Why not try the Griffith Valuation Tables for Mayo. They only list the head of the family as they were for tax purposes.
You will need the townland for your Basquill.
These tables were constucted around 1855.

Tillymint:
I did a quick Google and came up with this. Could be your Patrick's son!

34th Foot Depot Roll
49 Private Basquill Michael Enlisted Chorley 25 January 1873 b. Stockport, Cheshire. Aged 18 & 6m

whic seems to be quoting Slater's 1846 there is a Patrick Basquill, flour dealer, Shop Street in Westport. Might be your Patrick's father.
Hope this is of some help.
Good Luck!

Have done the Griffiths evaluation and found a Patrick Basquill in Kilbride also a Catherine Basquill living across the road from him. Not sure where to go from here though.
Thanks for the link about the flour dealer too, can't be too many Patick Basquills about at that time, so could be the one
I will look into the soldier, that could be useful, though there seems to have been quite a few Basquill families turning up in Stockport at the same time

Hi, all the Basquills and Basquille’s currently in Castlebar are related, maybe if you contacted the local paper there they could assist? They are my husbands side of the family which is how I know they are all connected. Good luck, D Basquille

Hello, DBUK. Welcome to RootsChat. Tillymint hasn't been on the forum for about 10 years. Click on tillymint's name will take you to her (?) profile. Her posts include one on a thread about the Hawkshaw and Greevy families in Mayo. Hawkshaw was also researching the Basquil family. Hawkshaw has been on the forum more recently.
Did you mean to put "maybe if you contacted the local paper there" instead of "the loaf already there". If you want to change it click "modify" at top of post.

Thanks , will do.

Hi
Thanks for taking the time to contact me, it has been a long time since I was on here :)
I have been a bit busy, but plan on spending some time on this in the summer. I will look into the newspaper, I had not thought of it.
Kindest

I know this is a late reply but I lately noticed a Hawkshaw-Basquill marriage where Basquill was spelt Baskwell - on church records (which includes marriages - these are recognised by the state) it was up to the priest/minister how the name was recorded. I often see a different name variant of the baptism and the civil birth registration. Might be a small help.

Oh hey, this is my Hawkshaw line. Nicolas Basquil married Eliza Hawkshaw 1861 in Ayle. They migrated to Jackson County, Ohio shortly after the wedding and had a passel of kids. Nicolas was b. 1816 in Mayo so may be a brother to your Patrick?
There's also a Michael Basquill married to an Ellen O'Brien in Islandeady parish of Tuam (which covers Ayle) in 1874. He's from Brushbrook and father is Michael Basquil, landholder.
There's a Walter Basquil, also father Michael Basquil landholder, who resided in Aughagower at the time of his marriage in 1871.
A Margaret Basquill, 23, married in 1871 gives her father's name as James Basquill, Landholder (still alive) they were from Killavalla, married in Castlebar.
Going back further, I see a William Basquill marrying in 1868 from Tubberane (also spelled Tubberuane) father Michael Basquill carpenter. Also Castlebar.

Slight mistake in your post - it was Nicholas Basquill who was married. The priest though appears to have signed it as Michl (their mark)

Townlands.ie give it listed as Toberrooaun.

It's about 10km west of the village of Ballintober.

Thanks, I was trying to steer well clear of any copyright infringements due to all the warnings so didn't want to include any links or verbatim it.

Actually married in Killavalla RC Church - to Michael Fadian.
