I know this chat chain is older, but I'm also looking for information on the whereabouts of the family of John Fleming & Mary McNamara from Murroe.

John Fleming was a tenant farmer in townland of Mongfune around 1851 per the Griffiths Valuation. There was a Daniel Fleming that was a tenant in Mongfune per the Tithe Applotment of 1826.

John and Mary Fleming had several children. Their eldest daughter Ellen married William Fitzgibbon and can be found living in Mongfune with her family per the 1901 census.

Names of godparents, such as Catherine Fleming, Eliza Fleming, John Fleming, William Fleming and Timothy Fleming are listed on the baptism records of Ellen's children in the period 1870- 1875.

Is anyone familiar with this particular Fleming family from Murroe?

Hi,

I think I have some info on this Fleming family from Murroe. I know of a John F. Fleming who was born in about 1832 in Murroe, Ireland, and was married to Catherine Carey in 1852. They might be the John and Catherine Fleming that you mention above. They would have been my great-great-great grandparents. They immigrated to Connecticut in the USA in the 1870s. I've been trying to find more information on the family, let me know if you'd like any more info on their descendants and if anyone has more info on the Fleming families that lived in Murroe around that time please let me know too!
