Fermanagh / Re: Magraths and Maguires of Fermanagh
« on: Saturday 20 July 24 21:50 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Well, mcgrath search quotes 'There are pedigrees that show the existence of a Macraith in the Maguire descent'. It is taken from Thomas Maguire 'Fermanagh. Its Native Chiefs and Clans'.
If someone by any chance has the book and could do a look up I would be very grateful ;D

Cavan / Re: Man of War Inn, Cavan

Hi Sinann,
Thanks, I do have that in Mark (Attorney)'s biography.
This was his obituary:
'At Cavan, Mark Magrath. Will refs to Wm, eldest son, daughter Deborah, son James, daughter Jane & husband Richard [Bolton]. Reported 24th Jan 1775 Reported 18th Jan in Saunders.

I have Mark (Attorney), his civic activities in Cavan, his father, quite a lot on siblings and his children. What is new/incognito is this issue of the Inn.  He was an attorney from 1726, so what role  the Inn had, if this was him, is really what's got me wondering....  He had a brother James and John - James definitely an attorney, John could be. ::)

Presumably that building in Cavan is long gone ....The family were COI and there was a lot going on in Cavan, so I guess if the Inn had a Toll function as per the Balbriggan version, it could have had different uses.

Regards
iem

Hi,
Thanks for this. The advert in the paper I think said it was the Man of War pub in Cavan - so not the one at Balbriggan - unless the newspaper had it wrong as the dates are a bit of a coincidence.

However, the Mark Magrath who married Jane Hamilton/Hambleton is a possibility as to being the person inhabiting the Man of War.  And that's what I'm curious about...

I have his family fairly well researched (but NOT whose parents Jane Hamilton were!). This Mark Magrath was an attorney, from a family of attorneys,  so why the Man of War Inn business I wonder (if they are the same person).? Could it have been a simple business venture, what did the Inn mean/represent at that time? I see the Balbriggan Inn had the option of toll collection (an option for political control in turbulent times??).

I'm a long way from Cavan historically and geographically(!) so anything you can add I'd be glad of ;D
Many thanks

Hi,
Does anyone know anything about the Man of War Inn, recently built in 1764, and then inhabited by Mark Magrath?
That's all the info I have
Many thanks

Fermanagh / Magraths and Maguires of Fermanagh
« on: Tuesday 11 June 24 22:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am told that in the old Fermanagh, pre 1700, some Maguires became Magraths.  I haven't managed to find any info on this, other than that there were Magraths probably settled around the Enniskillen area - is anyone able to help me out/point me in the right direction to find out?
Many thanks

Cumberland / Carruthers & Armstrong in Lanercost 1755
« on: Tuesday 10 May 22 15:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I wonder if anyone has any info on this couple who married 12 Jan 1755 in Lanercost, Cumberland?
He was Wm Carruthers and she Mary Armstrong. They appear in the legacy of a Jane Armstrong, spinster's will 1767, Brampton, Cumberland: 'Mary Carruthers wife of William Carruthers Quartermaster in the barracks of Dublin' referred to in Rootschat comment.
 
Wm was later made Cornet in the Irish First Regiment of Horse. Sons James, John, Joseph also entered the military. Daughter Anne married Erasmus Goodwin, another military man. Daughter Susannah Maria (possibly born Hanover Sq, Middx 1765) married Dublin lawyer Wm Magrath.

So, I first have them in Ireland in 1767 - but don't know anything of their families or when/why they went to Ireland exactly. Any info welcome, but particularly their connections to England/Scotland.
Many thanks.
