Cavan / Re: Johnston - Cavan Town
« on: Wednesday 17 July 13 16:58 BST (UK)  »
Yes, My grandfather's father's name was Archibald.  I found this out on my trip to Ireland.  I also have discovered some of the names of the children listed as male.  My grandfather Robert George Johnston was born 1874, John Johnston born 1866. William Johnston born 1871, Margaret born in 1879 and Lillie born in 1880,  There are still 2 males that I do not have names for.  At this point I am trying to get Baptism records for Presbyterian church to see if I can get the names.  I am also trying to confirm the parents of Archibald. I  believe now that they are John Johnston & Anne Newell.
Can you add anything to this?  Thank you   Pat

This is the Wilson/Vincent family that I am researching. Do you have any information on these families while living in Ireland?  I would love to share information with you.

Marilyn,
I do have more information, however I am going on vacation tomorrow morning and won't be back for 3 weeks.  I will answer when I return.  I went to Cavan last year and although I got some info, I didn't have enough time to complete my research.  I guess I will have to go back.

Marilyn,
My Wilsons are also from Baillieborough, Cavan.  John Wilson born Oct. 1836 and died in Phila. Pa. USA Feb 1911.  He married Mary Ann Vincent in Jul 1858.  They were also Presbyterian, but there marriage registration says that they were married in the Church of England & Ireland in the Parish of Drumgoon.  His father's name was also John  and he was a farmer.  John & Mary Ann immigrated to Philadelphia in 1889.
Perhaps there is a connection.  Please let me know if you have a John Wilson.  Thanks,    Pat

Thanks Colette, I received an email back from Jean Mackerel who is willing to help me find the baptism records for my relatives from Graddum when she has time.  She told me that there is no church in Ballyjamesduff now, but she ministers to the people who still live in the area.  I hope to find out the names shortly.  I appreciate your assistance.  Pat

Thanks Bodger & Collette,
On the Discovery Series map that I purchased in Ireland, Graddum is located northeast of Kilnaleck and northwest of Ballyjamesduff.  There is a lake there - Graddum Lough  Nearby townlands are  Corbeagh, Lechary and Latnadronagh.  The family name is Johnston.
I found a website for the Presbyterian Church in Ireland and I am going to email them to see if they have the information.  Thanks again.  I appreciate any help that is given.    Pat

Cavan / Need help from someone in Ballyjamesduff area - COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 26 July 06 01:17 BST (UK)  »
I recently returned from a 12 day trip to beautiful Ireland.  With the help of Helen at the National Archives I was able to find my grandfather's birth record along with 4 brothers.  Unfortunately 4 of the births including my grandfather's were listed as Male only.  I have the birthdates, parents names, etc.  The parents lived in Graddum and were married in the Presbyterian Church in Balleyjamesduff.  I was told that the baptism records would give me the names. Unfortunately by the time I got this information it was time to leave Ireland.   I have looked on the Presbyterian Church website and I can't find a church in Balleyjamesduff.  Is there still a church there?  How can I obtain these records? Any help at all would be appreciated.   Pat

I do not have his birth certificate, but hope to get it when I am in Ireland in July.  His marriage license from Pennsylvania says his birth date is March 19, 1874, and born in Cavan Ireland.   Somewhere in my research I found that he was from Cavan Town.  My grandmother Margaret Wilson was born on July 4, 1877 also in Cavan.  She immigrated with her family to Philadelphia, Pa in 1893.
He came alone (I think) in 1894.  I think they knew each other before coming to the United States.
Thanks for posting.  I would appreciate any help you can give me.   Pat
