I have since discovered that my great grandmother Mary Meagher may have lived at Lodge or Puckane near Nenagh prior to her marriage to James Meagher (perhaps a relative!) in 1855. After marriage they lived in Monsea, beside Carrig church. Mary was a sister of James Meagher of Ballyanny who was a prosperous farmer. He lived at Ballyanny House from the mid to late 1800's. His wife was Kate, however as I haven't located a marriage record have no other info about Kate. James is buried at Kilmore cemetery near Silvermines.
I believe that some Meagher relatives may have emigrated to the US or Australia during the 1800's, including some of Mary's daughters of whom we cannot locate. If some of this information rings a bell for anyone I would welcome some contact.

Do you know which area near Nenagh your ancestor came from?
I am doing some research too and its a common name in that area.

My ggggrandfather was James Maher born 1786 north of Nenah Tipperary.
He was the son of Michael.  He married Catherine Hanley and had 5 children James 1827, Edward 1821, Catherine 1834, Thomas 1825, and Ellen 1836.  The family left Ireland in the late 1840's and moved to Ontario, Canada.  The children married local Tipperary folks.  James wed Ellen Cain (do William Cain and Hannah Flannery), and Catherine wed Roger Carroll.  Looking for any one with ties back to Tipperary.

Do you know what part of the Nenagh area James came from as Maher/Meagher are common names in that locality?  Have you any other family information that could help?

Hi Tara.
Marys maiden name was also Meagher or Maher. I have found nine baptismal certs for this couple....there were two Ellens, four years apart so the first died as a young child. I was hoping that the names might ring a bell with someone out there. As my grandfathers parents married in feb 1855 there is no one who remembers them obviously and my grandfather died in 1925 so I am finding it difficult to find links in our family tree.....any one with any possible info? I'd really appreciate it.
Margaret

I am searching for five sisters of my grandfather. Their names: Mary, Anne, Sarah, Margaret and Ellen Meagher. Born between 1855 and 1868 in Carig, Monsea, Nenagh. Co. Tipperary. Their brothers John and James (my grandfather) and sister Hanora (called Nora) remained in Ireland. Their parents were James Meagher (a farmer) and Mary Meagher. As I cannot find any marriage records I am assuming that they emigrated. I have no idea to where, as we only discovered they existed last month. If anyone has any info I would be most grateful as I feel that if we find one we will find more with her.
