Sligo / Re: McNulty in Aclare (Culdaly)
« on: Saturday 06 February 10 03:24 GMT (UK)  »
I have had lots of luck using http://ifhf.brsgenealogy.com/index.php lately: they index Ireland births, marriages and deaths online that you can search for free: once you find a listing that you'd like full details for, it costs about US $6. I looked for W Roach marriages +/- 4 years around 1874 [I took this lead from the 1875 birth date of the eldest child listed here in Oct 2007]--there are what look like just two marriages, both in in Co. Mayo [just east of Sligo], for women with the first initial W: Winifred shows up with varied spellings; one took place in 1869 and the other in 1874. I then checked for Anthony McNulty marriages +/- 4 years around 1874 and did come up with one in Co. Mayo in 1874. That might be your match. If you pay for the records, you can get a parish, townland, and specific date of sacrament; most will also include witnesses' names and some include names of the bride and groom's parents. You can also search for the children's baptism records by father's forename...

Best wishes,

Cathy

My great-grandmother was a CATHERINE AGNES MCNULTY, born to ANTHONY P. MCNULTY in Kingston, Ulster Co., NY, in 1883. Anthony was from Co. Sligo [he was born about 1853 and came to the US in 1869 or 1870]. I understand from another researcher in the family tree that Anthony's parents were Owen McNulty and Mary McLoughlin--he believes they came to the US, but I do not know if this is true as I cannot find graves.

Catherine had two older sisters I know of from the 1880 census: Margaret was born in about 1877 and Mary in 1880, both in NY. Both sisters were dead by the 1900 census. Their mother was Bridget McDonald/McDonell, and she died in 1887. I believe she came from Sligo as well. Through Anthony's second marriage, Catherine had younger siblings named Rose, Nellie, Mary/May, and Michael, all born in Kingston.

Many of Anthony's maternal aunts and uncles were in Kingston by the 1880 census, some as early as the 1860 census.

I have always assumed the family could have moved between Scranton, PA, and the Kingston area due to the canal connection between the two areas. Maybe Mass. was a first stop, though.

I wonder if our Anthonys could be cousins--the name similarities are astonishing.
