Monaghan / John Gartlan 1868 ***James Gartlan 1873
« on: Thursday 17 January 08 19:45 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for James Gartlan born 12 Sept 1868
twin sister Sarah.

Also James Gartlan born 5 July 1873 
Twin sister Anne

All four born to James Gartlan and Judith (Julia) Slevin in Corcuilloge, Carrickmacross .

Acording to a ships manifest from Anne, on her arrival in New York , her brother James lived in Corcrin about 1900 so might show in 1901 census.

Any help appreciated.

Aghadowey and Mary

Thats my family. Where did you locate the information?

Apparently someone in our family is also doing research on that branch and I wasn't aware of their interest.

Now I'm at my original question of where Catherine Connolly and Patrick Mc Coy originated from.

 I have them both born in Ireland but no location  This apparently does away with Newery as a birthplace.

Thanks again to both of you.

Mary

I think we mightr have the right family even though the names and dates are different than I originally had.

Obviously there is a lot more to do to prove or disprove the connection but I am at least going in a new direction. I realize that McCoy and Connolly are common names in Ireland but the combination of the two together gives me some hope.

Thanks again for the information

Thanks for the input. Your guess is as good as any I might have. The date seems to be in line. Name could have been Mary Catherine or Catherine Mary who knows, at least the surnames are right, and til I get others with the same surnames I'll use these as a base to locate further children. I at least have 2 birth dates and names to start with as well as the one you found.
Thanks again for your help.

Actually the following is the only info I have on the family

Ann B 1876
Catherine B 1877 Ire
Sarah B 1881
Marie  B 1887
Frank ?
John Joseph ?
Willie ?

I would assume At least Ann and Catherine were born in Ireland since Catherine was younger than Ann. No idea if Catherine came here with parents  or by herself.  No place of birth for the rest of them so can't help much there. She could have been in her teens when she came here. Prior to 1890 there aren't much in the way of records and ships manifests aren't indexed.

The parents don't show up in the census records here in the U.S. though my mother said her grandmother lived with them when she was young would be after 1909 as mother was born then.  No mention of Patrick here in the states.
My math says all of the children would have been born in Ireland and Patrick might havd died in Ireland around turn of the century.

This is my Maternal grandmother and I am just starting to locate her family from Ireland. She came to the US as a child and I have no information as to where in Ireland she came from. Family rumor is Co Monaghan.

I'd like to find siblings as well.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I have checked the marriage records and none show this marriage, they are hard to read and many are unreadable so they might be there but not able to locate. They were Catholic and the records are at the local church in Carrickmacross. I went there a few years ago to check the records but they wouldn't let me see the original books only a transcription on a note pad that someone had done fairly recently.

There was an Owen Slevin in Umerafee who might have been related but that also comes to a dead end. That was the closest in Griffith's that I could find. I talked to a few Slevin families while I was there and one did remember a Gartlan connection from way back in their history but supposedly they were all dead and they couldn't give me any other info. 
I'll continue to search and maybe someone can fill some more in.

I had the 3 children you found as well as 6 others.  At least 3 came here to the United States in the 1890-1920 period  My Grandfather Joseph B-1866, Catherine B-1875 and Maggie B- 1874 . Katie and Joseph died in New York don't know about Maggie.

Patrick Gartlan B-1871 married Ellen Conlon of Carrickmacross and died in Killabrick in 1937. The rest of the family I have nothing on other than birth Certificates

Thanks again for the reply

Don
