Waterford / Re: Seeking info: Richard Cahill, Portlaw
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 13:37 BST (UK)  »
Thanks again Shane.

I have already been through the baptismal records for Mothel and Rathgormack for the relevant period, which I understood were the correct ones. I was quite discouraged by the lack of Cahills I found there.

I will have to go back and take another look at the registers for Portlaw and Ballyduff.

Am I correct in thinking, based on your last reply, that the RC church did not permit mixed marriages at the time? In the event of a mixed marriage in a CofI ceremony, would boys and girls normally have been reared as Catholics, or was this unusual?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Shane for your reply.

Anne Marie was Church of England (born in London) but, notwithstanding their marriage location, as far as I know Richard was Catholic and I have records that show their three children were all baptised and raised as Catholics. Still, it's a possibility I had not considered and an avenue worth pursuing given that I can't find any other trace of Richard. Thanks for the suggestion.

Waterford / Seeking info: Richard Cahill, Portlaw
« on: Monday 02 April 12 13:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi all.

I am trying to trace birth or death details for Richard Cahill who married Anne Marie Power (nee Funge) in St Anne's, Shandon, Cork, on May 25 1885.

He was born before 1864, I believe somewhere in the Portlaw area. He worked as a ploughman and labourer. His father was Edmund.

He and Anne Marie lived at Coolfin and Old Portlaw in Co Waterford after their marriage where they had three children. Richard’s sister, Margaret, lived at Clonegam Lodge, Portlaw. She was born c1853.

Richard left the family around 1892 and never returned. Family legend has it that he went to America but I have failed to find any trace of him. When his son married in 1919 Richard was listed as dead.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Aileen.

Thanks very much for your generous offer. All help is appreciated, though I don't want to put you to too much trouble.

The family history, or what I have got to date, is as follows:

Patrick Quinn was born c.1836. Census 1901 in Richardstown, Dromin, Co Louth. Census 1911 in Painestown, Co Louth. He died on 15 Jul 1916 at age 80 in Painestown, Co Louth, from senile decay.

According to the IGI for Louth, he was married to Rose Naulty (or Nulty). She was born c.1840. She died on 20 Jan 1896 in Richardstown, Co Louth, at age 56 from TB.

They had eight children that I can find: Patrick, b 29 Mar 1864; Ellen Jane, b 26 Jun 1866; Rose Anne, b 6 Feb 1868; Bridget, b 17 Nov 1869; Anna Elizabeth, b 21 May 1871; Catherine, 13 Sept 1872; Margaret, b 27 Feb 1875; and my gr grandfather, Michael, b 23 Apr 1876.

Ellen married Patrick Ebbitt on February 12 1890 and it was in their home at Painestown that her father died in 1916. Ellen died in Drogheda District Hospital in March 1945. I have yet to trace Patrick's death.

Thanks again.

Eoin

Hello Aileen. Thanks very much for the reply.

The townland is indeed Painestown (listed in the 1911 census as Painstown) and not the same as Paughanstown. It lies to the south of the main Ardee to Dromin road, between the townlands of Paughanstown and Dromin, though it seems to have been very sparsely populated in the early 1900s, to judge by Griffiths Valuation.

It's great to hear there are so many Ebbits in Dunleer - I have already been through the graveyards at Mosstown and Dromin searching for my forebears without any luck. I have only recently learned there is a church at Philipstown - do you know if there is a graveyard attached to it?

I think Dunleer is probably the most logical place for me to resume the search and I hope to get back there in the next few weeks. I don't suppose there are any online graveyard listings for the parish?

Good luck with your research, and thanks again for the information.

Eoin.

Louth / Painestown - graveyard?
« on: Sunday 07 June 09 11:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi all. Does anyone know if there is a RC church/graveyard attached to Painestown in the civil parish of Dromin?

Alternatively, is there a RC church/graveyard for the Richardstown area?

I would love to locate a grave for my gggf Patrick Quinn, who died in 1916 at the home of his daughter, Ellen Ebbitt, in Painestown. He had lived in Richardstown for most of his life.

Many thanks for any help. Eoin.
