Cavan / Re: Charles Haughton Wilson - Killeshandra
« on: Tuesday 22 May 12 18:10 BST (UK)  »
Mr Andrew Wrenn of Glenageary Co Dublin purchased the estate known as Rockfield or Loughnafin Co Cavan in the 1870s. Wrenn was born in Co Cavan. he put his brother Patrick as caretaker of the run down mansion and the caretakers house. When Wrenn died in 1908 he bequeated the land etc to his two nieces... perhaps there were families living on the land

Hi Aghadowey,
I have looked at the link you supplied earlier today and I have fornd some information on Loughnafin.
This is what I found which mentions an area called Rockfield which my Mother says was the area where she was born, have attached the link so you can see it.

Loughnafin Rockfield 378 Cavan Tullyhunco Killashandra Cavan Ulster 
Margaret Francis is correct as I have just found out this week she married Andrew Baird.
John Wilson & Mary Jane Haughton's children were Walter, Charles Haughton (my Mother's father), Georgina, Louie and Lilian (married W.T Baird) as well as Margaret Francis. Apparently 2 sisters married 2 brothers.
Eliza Jane born 9 May 1877 Co.Cavan - spoke to my Mother today and although this is a name she does not remember she thinks it is very likely that there was another child called Eliza Jane.

Thanks again for your help.

Margaret

Tyrone / Re: brennan of Newtownsaville
« on: Thursday 27 October 11 17:44 BST (UK)  »
thanks to all who replied to my query. I have now discovered that Owen Brennan was  born in Drumgarra Co Monaghan  and had at least three sisters and a number of cousins who lived in the Newtownsaville/Eskra area of co. Tyrone. He was connected to McSorley, Hackett, McGinn and Carney families. Owen died in 1918  apparently he bequeathed most of his business to his two nephews Hackett and McSorley but not 100% sure of this.  Assembling the history of the Duffy family of Tullynahinera Co monaghan and would be very grateful for any additional details.

Tyrone / brennan of Newtownsaville

I would be grateful for any data on Owen Brennan( a native of county monaghan ) who resided at Newtownsaville.  a nephew of Rev Bernard Duffy )who died in 1917 at Fintona) ... Owen is not in the 1911 Census but he is the executor of his uncles will in 1917 with an address at Eskra...may have had siblings in the area too. Trying to find what were his and Rev Duffys links to McSorley and Hacket families in the neighbourhood.  thanking all in advance Roisin

Monaghan / Re: William Gerald Baillie born 1892 Castleblayney

There was Robert Bailey(Bailie) who was the crown solicitor in the Square, Castleblayney and another Bailey family who lived at Tullyvin. have you details of those? if you wish to acquire birth or marriage certs do a google search for the General registration office, Ireland and you will find details there.  Are you sure he married in Ireland?

William Gerald Baillie declared that he was born in Castleblayney when he was drafted into the US Army in WW2.  I know that his father was called Samuel, he had a sister Elizabeth Moss Baillie, a brother John and another sister called Miriam.  They all lived in Belfast in the early 1900s, but how do I go about finding their births and their father's marriage????
