Monaghan / Re: Where is Drumcrow in Killeevan Parish?

Hi Angela, I'm guessing seeing as you have spoke to my mother ... It's a very small world sometimes.

So far my family tree (starting with my grandfather)
John mc Eniff b1902 d1968 married Elizabeth begley... Etc etc etc
His father was also
john mc Eniff b1860 d(circa)1902 married (1900) Catherine mc Eniff who had two sisters Mary and Annie? Catherine had a father by the name of Michael mc Eniff.
As of now that was as far as I had managed by myself.

From your thoughts... John had at least one sister
And then Catherine has an entire new family after remarrying.
I will trawl through my uncles records and see what he can dig up regarding my great grandfather.
As you have said in assuming he has some records.

Just a quick question: my grandmothers side is easy enough to trace as they are on census's and marriage records etc, and it's in good detail.
Yet the mc Eniff side from my internet searching seem to appear in Ireland between 1851 and 1901 census ...
I know there's a return from Scotland, but I'm assuming that means they were once from Ireland ...? Or is that potentially where I'm going wrong?

Regards
Philip.

Hi angelan,

I have been researching my family history recently, and I have stumbled across your post. (My mothers maiden name is mc eniff, we are from Donegal)
My research (admittedly a lot of my uncles!) has also led me to Drumcrow, it would be interesting to compare notes, as i'm led to believe there are very few Mc Eniffs around, and it would appear everyone who searches for my great grandfather (Mc Eniff) cant find much other information other than his name.

Regards
Philip.
