Ireland / Livingstones

Hello there

Hi There

Not sure anything I've got will be relevant.My GGGG grandfather Henry McNabb married Elizabeth Livingstone,one of the daughters of William Livingstone of Westport.The Livingstones were staunch Church of Ireland and the family were successful grain merchants and brewers in Westport.The family intermarried with the Guinness family.

My information concerns the graves of the Livingstones at Oughaval and the Church of the Holy Trinity (COI) in Westport.

regards

Hello Grammajan,

I just cannot believe your posting!!!We are undoubtedly cousins many many times removed!!!

 I have spent the last year doing research about my GGGG grandfather Henry McNabb and have lots and lots of information about the McNabb's of County Mayo.In fact I came back just last week from Westport where I went with my six brothers and sisters for a family 'pilgrimage'

My ggg Grandfather was the George you refer to.He was Henry and Elizabeth's 4th son, born in 1829 and the only one ,it seems, who stayed in Ireland.He was farming in Ballinsmaula (outside Clare,now Claremorris ) and is listed in the 1856 Griffith's list.He shares his land in that list with a Henry Mcnabb who i had assumed was his brother of 1827 -- but maybe not if he emigrated!!!

The William Mcnabb  mystery is exactly as you say.William was born to George Mcnabb (Henry's brother(?) and Jane Purcell in 1815.I have the christening details as 6th April 1815 in Oughaval church of Ireland.

There are another 13 McNabb families living in Mayo in the early 1800's and i will be happy to send you their details.I think they all emigrated as there are only 3 McNabb's left in Mayo in 1855 and they have all left the Westport area.

Eventually my ggg Grandfather left in 1866/67 for Liverpool where my father was born in 1912.He died last year and to a great extent that explains the family pilgrimage!!! I now live with all my family in Cardiff Wales

I cannot believe you have a photo!!!

Please respond when you can and we can swop more information -- I also have a lot of details about the Livingstones!!

Very warm regards

Vincent Mcnabb

Will hope to hear from you soon
