Cavan / Re: Patrick KIERNAN, Bridget FLOOD, PLUNKETT: Maughera, Finea or Carrick (Cavan)

Yes, I found the record by looking up Family Search.org, the one I use for all my searches. Source film no. 1322324. With precise birth details, you could possibly get
church records as well. Then, I suggest you search immigration records. I could not find marriage records. Did they marry in Ireland or in the US?  On a more pessimistic note,  Kiernan is quite a common name for this part of Ireland, and with forenames like Mary and Patrick searching will not be easy. It was the Grimes, much more unusual, that helped locate the record.

I have found a `birth and christening announcement/record` for your greatgrandparents. Francis Henry Kiernan was born on 26 Oct 1895 in Manhattan with father`s name Patrick Kiernan and mother as Ellen Catharine Grimes. Not sure if that`s any help.

Yes, we can. Anyone with Flood blood would never give up !

I have found some apparently contradictory info.

Firstly, there is a Bridget Kiernan recorded as born in Carrick, but baptised/christened in 1890 - 03 June. Same address for marriage to FD Hogan from Tipperary in 1913. Would she have been taken by a relative as a baby without her parents? Parents listed as Bridget Fllod and Patrick Kiernan
The other date of birth in 1880 would make her 33 at marriage -somewhat old in those days.

The other info I found was in the 1901 and 1911 censuses for Ireland. In Magheraboy Upper Kilgolagh which is near Finea. Is Maghera just a shortened version? In 1901, there is a widow aged 47 who had 12 children of whom 9 survived. The children living with her are James 18, Bridget 14, Annie 12, Patrick 10. The other ones could have left home for work/emigration.

By 1911, James , Annie, and Patrick were still at home with the two males working as labourers.

Bridget had been married for 36 year by then, so about 1874.

I also found Floods in Cortrasna in Griffiths Valuation of 1859. This is the townload where my greeat grandmother lived after marraige so maybe before marraige too.

Hello, I may not answer your question but merely make a connection.
Carrick is in the parish of Ballymachugh. The Catholic Church parish records for 1837 -1935 are on microfilm- no 1279229, available probably at the national library in Ireland or Archives. When searching, you need to use `Granard` which was the registration district for that part of Co.Cavan, although it is actually in Co.Longford.
My great -grandmother was Ellen Flood from Carrick who married in 1873 and was born about 1840 as she was 60 in the 1901 census. She married the local schoolteacher - a James Sheridan
