Hi, Irish Lynn  childrenhere.  It’s been a few years since i put out questions on my husbands Sennett/Sinnott family from Tipperary.  Since 2016, i have gone on vacation in Ireland and we went thru Kilsheelan and the Waterford/Southern Tipperary area - Beautuful!  We did not find any Sennettsin the graveyards we went thru, but did see that there was a map from the Waterford area with Sinnott information in it - from the 1700s.  We also saw both Synnott and Sinnott on bars and Law firms in Dublin. I am now looking for more details on Honora Gorman who we are pretty sure was married to Richard Sinnott/Synnott and emigrated with her 5 children in 1852-1854.  They all ended up in Western Pennsylvania.  2 died along the way, but 3 lived to adults and had families. My husbands family all went to NorthEast, PA and Erie, PA. 
Anymore information people might want to share would be very appreciated!  Thank You!

Thanks all for the tips, etc.  I may look into the y-DNA test via FTDNA.  I just got an updated Ancestry DNA and i am now at 43% Scottish (from 36%)!

As My Thomas Boyd who died in 1865 in NY city had a post in his obituary from the family to share with Coleraine papers, i may try and look into Colereraine papers.  Any idea where to start there?  I know that Thomas Boyd Jr. (born 1820 in NI and died in NYCity in 1885 or so) was also a stone Mason, so maybe a family business?

The Boyd name was passed down for years even via the maternal line.  My grandmother is Ethel Boyd Heaney (Miller) and her first son was named Richard Boyd Miller. 

Aghadowey, its Irish Lynn again trying to find out more on the Thomas Heaney married to Anne Thompson family.  I am related to John Heaney Thomas’s oldest son who came to NYCity and died in 1863.  Do you know who John Heaneys paternal grandparents are?  I cannot determine if it might be William Heaney or John Heaney as Thomas’s (born in 1801) father.  Kind of at a standstill there.  I have looked through all the previous threads and there seem to be 3 main Heaney family’s that i am looking at. 

I am also asking on behalf of another Heaney cousin who is the great times 3 granddaughter of Daniel Heaney who came to New York City and John Heaneys younger brother.  You have been the person that has provided me the best information over the last 3 years! 

Hope you are doing fine and give my best to Leslie when next you see him!  Warm Regards!

Did Archie Gilmore go back to Ireland or stay in NYCity? You mention he married a girl from Cullycapple.

Thanks and any relationship with your family??

Hi ladies! 

Aghadowey, i have always wondered about the Archie Gilmore that lived with Thomas Boyd in 1855 census.  Do you know if that is more than just a friend from the same town? Wondered if there was a relations there. 

Hope all is well with you!  Irish Lynn
