Tipperary / Meaghers from Fethard / Killusty / Kiltinan
« on: Tuesday 30 November 10 06:32 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find further information on my relatives that I've traced back to Kiltinan and College, buried in the cemetery at Killusty.
James Meagher and Margaret Cotter married probably around 1800, died in 1839 /40. They had 4 children POST keeping of records: William b. 1814, James b. 1816, John b. 1818 and Nancy b. 1820.
My ancestor Lawrence Meagher was born in 1806, however no records exist. He emigrated to Quebec, Canada -- not sure when but before his marriage there in 1847 -- guessing about 1840. We have pretty good records from there on out. It looks like there was another brother Michael Meagher that was also born prior to records being kept in the parish. I've learned that William went to Australia in 1840, Nancy to Quebec as well.
I'd love to learn of anyone else who has ties to this family, or knowledge of other ancestors, whether forwards or backwards in time.
Thanks! Nancy
