Thanks everyone!  I have Rosina's marriage and death certs, I just can't find where in Ireland she was born and I'm hoping that when I do find her, I'll be able to find where in Ireland my family are from.  I didn't know 'Helen' may be 'Ellen' so I'm off on a new search with that.

Hi and thanks for the reply.  I have details of a Rose McMahon born Killygordon, County Donegal 1st April 1855 but she's named Rosina on all other documents I have.  Also, I can't find any info on John McMahon's parents (John McMahon Joiner Journeyman and Helen Cassidy) or Jane Neilson's parents (James Neilson Ship's Carpenter and Rose-ann Devine, formerly Neilson, Maiden Surname Gallacher) in County Donegal but to be fair, I've not been searching for long.

I have a great-great grandfather named John McMahon.  I believe that he was born in Ireland about 1830 and he subsequently married Jane Coyle.  My John had a son Thomas McMahon who married Agnes McCann in Kilmarnock, Scotland on 1 Jan 1866.  This family is Catholic.   Could he be the one that you are looking for?

I am looking for information about my ggg grandfather, John McMahon.  His wife was Jane Nelson or Neilson.  Their son, Francis McMahon, was born around 1855 and I bought a copy of a birth certificate but the mother's name was Jane COYLE.  Maybe this is your family?  I'll try to post a copy on here once I get it scanned.

(Kilmarnock Male Birth, Francis McMahon, 17 July 1855, Father John McMahon, Coal Miner, 35 years, County Monaghan Ireland, Mother Jane McMahon, Maiden Name Coyle, 39 years, County Down, Ireland, married 1844 Kilmarnock, her 6th child, 2 boys living, 1 girl living, 2 boys dead)

I'm a Glasgow McMahon and I've traced them back to 1851 here but I don't know where in Ireland they're from.  The 1861 census names a daughter, Rosina, born Ireland in 1856 and I'm hoping to get lucky with her.
