Roscommon / Re: Haggart from Roscommon
« on: Sunday 03 July 05 22:17 BST (UK)  »
I tried to reply to your personal message, but I don't know if it travelled. Cloonlee is half a km. south of the town/village of Ballinlough. That is about 600 yards, but the map seems old, so it is probably part of the town now.  The RC parish is also named Kiltullagh and the parish church is in Ballinlough. In the late 1700s- early 1800s, many landlords imported weavers from the north of the country to start cottage industries, so this  may be the origin of the Haggart name in the area. There are  less than 10 Scottish surnames long established in Roscommon/Galway border parishes in the 20 miles s. of Ballinlough. Otherwise, some official from Scotland gave  local surnames a new spelling.

Roscommon / Re: William Brooke birth
« on: Saturday 02 July 05 17:11 BST (UK)  »
Have you tried the alumni records of Universities at Dublin and Edinburgh?  They may have records of parentage and home or birth address.  Older records at TCD, (Trinity College) Dublin  preserve this data.  If you e mail mscripts@tcd.ie  they will search the records for you. UCD was founded in 1851.  I recall a Roscommon 1840s Surveyor acknowledging the help he received in his survey from a Castlerea, NW Roscommon clerk named (Charles , I think) Brooke. In 1846, a Miss Anne Brooke was the teacher in the Infant School of the 3- level school in Castlerea founded by Lord Mount Sandford, and probably situate on his estate in the town. In 1848- 54 Oran , the next parish SE of Castlerea,  John Brooke has something in the region of 150 acres rented from Augusta B. Daly. It is not clear if this farm contains a dwelling house.

Roscommon / Re: Any Information - FALLON
« on: Friday 01 July 05 21:33 BST (UK)  »
Have you tried the Ellis Island website? There are a few Fallons in the right timeframe, including a Thomas from Gort, Co. Galway, and an Andrew(1yr. age gap) from Pittsburgh. Ships from English ports called to Irish ports en route. There is also the possibility that emigration may have occurred via England or Canada. Many 1800s emigrants who told their descendants that they were from Ireland were actually born in England to Irish families resident there for at least 1 generation.

Co. Sligo, Killoran and Toomour Parishes 1824, 2 John Timons.  May be more families in Co.  at the time.  4 Co. Sligo Timon  families 1749 in Killadoon and Kilross Parishes. In Co. Roscommon found only in the North of the County. 5 Timane families in the Parish of Tibohane ( Frenchpark/Boyle area) in 1749, only 1 of these spelled TIMON- JOHN, an RC cottier + wife and 2 children under 14 years of age in the EASTERSNOW area of the parish. This is near Boyle.

Here you are. Only Haggart in the county in 1850  (1848- 54). PATRICK HAGGARD,   CLOONLEE village,  CIVIL PARISH of KILTULLAGH. I believe this parish is on the Galway/Roscommon/Mayo border in the Ballymoe/ Ballinlough area. There are a few Gallaghers, various spellings in this large parish, including 1 spelled " GAU....." in Cloonlee. The name HAGGARD has vanished by 1901, but may be still there as HEGARTY or Hagerty.

Roscommon / Re: MacManus, Bridewell

My guess is that Brideswell is the BMD registration area. The parish you actually require is Drum Parish, Co. Roscommon, now part of the united RC parishes of Drum, Clonown and St. Peters Athlone. I think both families came from there, though there are Keoghs in all S. Roscommon parishes. From memory, Drum Parish History has 4-6 McManus families in 1850 in Nure or Ardnanure. and there is certainly at least 1 Keogh family in the Parish. This household head name is Hugh Keogh.  When you get to Athlone, visit the Library and ask for " Drum and its Hinterland" from the local history section. Just in case the book is out on loan when you visit, you may be able to find it on Amazon, or an Irish booksellers site. It is listed on Amazon, but what is availability is , is another matter. Somebody mentioned McCooey.....probably McHugh, perhaps family of Hugh "Hughie" Keogh.    M(a)C means son or descendant of.
