Sean, have you come across any McCanns headstones in Reary, Kilmanman or Clonaslee?

Dia Duit Sean,
I have just discovered on a gravestone here in the States that Daniel Nolan was born in "Doonane, Queen's Co Ireland". In a 1920 USA Census it states James Nolan was from "Kildare, Ireland". Though both could be wrong I tend to believe what was written on the memorial stone.
Would you be so kind to look up Nolan's in Doonane.
Thanks Sean

I would be intrested in any Butler's you have in the Aghaboe area, Farren, Killermough, Clough.

If they stopped moving around it would make research a damn sight easier.

Cheers

Hi Peter,
Well, they must have moved very quickly!, I don't have any Butler recorded from Killermogh, Clough, Bordwell, or Ballacolla!
Sorry I cannot be of more assistance, but let me know if I can do anything else,
Regards,
Jack

I have marriages and births in clough and I know they lived for 25 years in Farren, (clough is the nearest RC chuch), about the turn of the 19th century they moved to Dublin.

I wish ancestors could have stayed in one place and kept records that were easy to read, it would make this research a lot easier and probably a lot less fun.

Thanks for your help.

I am trying to find any info on a John Higgs or a Henry Dyer. They both appear on the Griffiths Valuation. Both from the Townland of Knockmay Parish of Clonenagh and Clonagheen. From what I can gather they leased houses from Viscount De Vesci. Have you or anyone come across the names Higgs or Dyer in marriage or burial records ? I have a gt gt grandmother who came to New Zealand [ Anne Dyer ] in the early 1870s, and married a Henry Revell in Wanganui NZ 1863. Her marriage cert quotes her mothers name as Maria Higgs and her fathers name as ? Dyer. Born in Queens County Ireland 1839/40.
Hopefully this John Higgs or Henry Dyer are related to our Anne Dyer. She is a real mystery to all the family here in NZ as no one has any info on her at all. We have been unable to trace any ship she could have come out on, or whether or not she came out on her own.
Any pointers from anyone greatly appreciated

Hi Jack,

There are photographs of headstones in the Portarlington Graveyard (New) Counties Laois (Queen's Co.) & Offaly (King's Co.), Ireland on the from-ireland.net © 2001-2007 website of Dr Jane Lyons of Dublin.

Hi Jack,

I would be very grateful if you could look for any Kennedys you might have for Clonaslee.

Many thanks
