Laois (Queens) / Re: Where is Ballyeagle, Raheen?

Hello,
My ancestors are from Mount Eagle No 2, Rohan, and only the other day I spotted Ballyeagle.  I am from laois, and both names seem familiar.
Checked Lewis Topographical dict 1837 and he refers to a national school at Ballyeagle. 1894 Rahanavannagh Graveyard has a Mary McDonald nee Mcevoy of Ballyeagle 1894.  I reckon she is an ancestor of mine. Mounteagle shows up with Mcevoy in 1937 onwards.

Mounteagle is in the Electoral Division of Ballyroan, in Civil Parish of Clonenagh and Clonagheen, in the Barony of Cullenagh, in the County of Laois
The Irish name for Mounteagle is Baile Dhéigill
Mounteagle is on Logainm.ie: Mounteagle. according to townlands.ie

http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/Leix/surnames.htm is a good site for Laois families/townlands.

http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/cgi-bin/viewsite.cgi?siteid=259 gives a description of a big house that seems to survive no longer but was a townland.  I assume the Mounteagle house numbers refer to estate houses. 

http://historicgraves.com/tullore/la-tlre-0121/grave Shows an epitaph for a McMahon family both from Mounteagle and Ballyeagle. 

So personally I'm not a lot wiser.  However, we may be useful to each other. Mary Rohan or Roughan and variations would be my maternal ggrandmother.  Lalors my paternal ancestors.  My mother was Lalor.
Best of luck

Hi Hutchin,

I have just this night started research on a Catherine Tobin, nee Ellis, wife of Sir Thomas Tobin of liverpool who lived at Ballincollig, Cork Ireland from 1835 died 9/1/1881 and is buried nearby.

Now Catherine Tobin, according to the Dod book on peerages, was the daughter of Lister Ellis of Crofthead, Cumberland and the granddaughter of the late (1855) Thomas Baines Garforth of Steeton Hall Yorkshire. 

That Thomas Baines Garforth according to your research and others, seems to have married Catherine Graham, had a daughter Olivia who married Lister Ellis whose daughter Catherine married Thomas Tobin.  They had one son Arthur Lionel born in Ballincollig 7/8/1837. he died at war.

Catherine Tobin nee Ellis was a prolific travel writer and illustrator.  If you have anything by her sell it.  It reaches prices of £600 stg.

It would seem that you as an Ellis is descended from the same line. 

Thomas Tobin was owner / manager of the Ballincollig Royal Gunpowder mills from 1835 onwards.  I was involved in writing and publishing a history of same and thought that Catherine was a lot more educated etc and much more interesting.
