Monaghan / Re: Clones, Co Monaghan / Co Fermanagh

Looking at some Clones/Roslea transcriptions I have seen the following. Not sure if any use to you.

There are two Catherine Malarky marraiges. Note that Malarky/Mularky/Melarky would have been interchangable back in those days.

1) Catherine Malarky from Tatymore to Peter McGlade from Killavilla on 5 Jul 1866.
2) Catherine Malarky from Granagore to James Maguire from Crocknagrally on 25 Feb 1868.

Monaghan / Re: Publication Clogher BMD soon?
« on: Wednesday 10 April 13 17:29 BST (UK)  »
That is a very good question. That site only has the baptism and marriage details from church records (deaths were not recorded by churches in the same manner)
There has been radio silence on the subject for some time now and very few records for their already covered areas have been added in the last 18 months from what I can see. Lack of funds I guess?
But those of us with our roots in Monaghan have been keenly waiting for a long long time for these records to be uploaded. The wait goes on as does the trip in to the NLI to view micro films.

Hi Trigger Happy,

Oh, too bad, thank you for checking.

I just found one reference to it and thought it might be online, but I couldn't find how to access it. Here is the exact reference:

KENNEFICK, John; Carrigrohane COR IRL; Cork Examiner; 1896-2-29; dja

OK, now that is good news. A year or so ago I had a similar reference and contacted the Examiner archives office. they were kind enough to post me a copy of the obituarys for the day in question and hey presto, my man was there. Good news for me, but bad news for the guy who had died in 1898!

The British newspaper archive have SOME of the Cork examiners from the period, but no mention of John Kennefick in their on line collection.

I don't understand what Jack Storey is indicating in how to find his e-mail address.  I want to ask him for a copy of the Ralaghan map as I have traced my family to that townland.

Ralaghan can be  found easily using google maps. Then using the online ordinance survey maps at osi.ie you can see the location in the historical maps down to building level. I used the 6inch color view.

Agreed that this is a BIG letdown, completely not what was advertised.

50 credits does not go very far when you need to look at many records to find the right one.
I am out of credits already and will not be buying any more.

Can I ask what sort of information you got for your spent credits? I'm wondering if I spend credits to view a birth, death or marriage entry exactly what details are shown...
One thing the index does show is spouse's name for marriage.

I was looking at some petty sessions records. Scant detail in there. Also looking at some US census records.

Ireland / Re: Casssidy/Mcguire/McCabe
« on: Thursday 03 January 13 15:51 GMT (UK)  »
Cassidy, Maguire and McCabe are names that were most commonly found in the north monaghan and south fermanagh area. One side of my own family are from the Rosslea/Clones area and these names feature heavily.
My own Cassidy branch lived in Drumguiff in the early 1800s. My Maguires lived in Scotshouse and interestingly there are Patricks and Bridigets in that family, but a generation later than yours.


But hopefully knowing the general area may be of help to you. The challange is that there are no church records in the area earlier than the 1850s and civil registrations were not in place also.

Try posting on the Fermanagh or Monaghan sub  forum and someone may be able to provide further assistance. There is a project underway to document graves in Fermanagh but no sign of your Thomas up there yet. http://www.discovereverafter.com/

Also visit the rooneys of rosslea site and the claires ancestry site, both contain a wealth of information that is helpful for anyone researching their family in the area.

Cork / Re: Cork - William Ahern, Convict
« on: Wednesday 07 November 12 16:57 GMT (UK)  »
It was hard to throw a stone in Cork in those days without hitting an Ahern. So you will need a lot more detail before someone can help you. Townland? Approx date of birth? Religion? What have you tried so far?
