Mayo / Re: Crossmolina Church Records
« on: Sunday 23 October 16 01:01 BST (UK) »
Hello there
Thank you for the offer to look up records. I have been trying with little success to learn more about the Moffat and Roe (Row / Rowe) side of my family.
My 6th GGmother is Margaret Moffat, b ~ 1775 in Crossmolina. I have William Moffat (1750?) as her father but otherwise a deadend.
She married James Roe (Row? Rowe?) of Knockbawn, although I have no record of the marriage.
They had a number of children, including Margaret Rowe (b. ~ 1797), Jonathon Rowe (b~1801), William Roe (?b. 1808?) all in Ireland (not sure where ... Crossmolina?) and then in 1809 I find them in Ayrshire, Scotland.
Do you know why families left the area for Scotland around this time?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
