TRAYNOR family, Ballina

[billy56]

John Traynor married Anne Wynne in Leeds,England 1890. Both came from Ballina. John's father was Thomas, a farmer and Annes father was Peter.
Ordering the birth certificate for John Traynor born 1867 has resulted in 2 possibilites, to help identify which one is correct could anyone help with census records for Ballina ?

Anne was born Slievenagark and one of the Johns was born here too. Other born Cloghans (sorry if either mispelt) but I believe both places are close anyway.

One John has parents Thomas and Catherine, nee Stephens and the other has Thomas and Bridget nee Hope.

A very helpful lady, who has done alot of Traynor research has identifed the two sets of parents but is sifting through her mounds of info to see if she can establish which parents are the right set !!
She tells me the 1901 census shows TRAYNOR Thomas, Ellen,Bernard, Catherine.Bridget and John and also the Wynne family. She has not put ages etc so it is impossible to tell which family this is as Bridget and Catherine are listed !!!
Could someone check Traynor families on 1901 a send me a list please or the web pages. Also John was born 1867 so if anyone coould look for him on the 1871 / 81 time censuses this may help identify which one is a match too

Hello,
www.leitrim-roscommon.com has a link to 1901 census index - your Slievenagark families are there but I don't think the others are there. It is not a full transcript yet - however some of the ages of the children you mention are out by a long way - some are possibly grandchildren. You would need access to the full census for that.
When you look for your Wynnes- Mary Traynor a niece from England is there.
If you look at this information and then do a search on Family Search - www.familysearch.org - using parents - you get a Thomas Traynor with parents Thomas and catherine but if you search Thomas and Bridget Hope you get a Bernard who could fit with the Slievenagark crew!
You can order both church records and census records through LDS Family History Centres - which might give more information.
good luck
Heywood

Billy56.  Are you still on line?  I think I am the helpful woman you spoke with years ago regarding the Thomas and Bridget v. Thomas and Catherine Traynors.  I know much more now...though I'm not sure I solved your mystery.  But I am sure I am related to Thomas and Bridget Hope and believe I am related to Thomas and Catherine Stephens.  Please contact me again so that we can exchange info.  the Traynor family tree has grown considerably since we last talked.  And I have many connections to Leeds.

Hi
Sorry, I have been away and only caught up on emails this morning. My interest in the Traynor family was via a neighbour who I helped trace her family roots and included the Traynors I posted an enquiry about. She has since moved away and I have lost contact so many thsnka for thinking of us but I wont be pursuing this research any further.
Thank you again and good luck with your research

Thanks Kate,
I am new to the site, my son in laws connection is John TRAYNOR born Balina 1867, see 1901 census he was living 10, Main Street, Philipstown, Kings County. As he was a policeman and my son in laws family thought that his father was also a policeman, I was opting for the Thomas TRAYNOR and Catherine STEPHENS as the father and mother for John? It was also family tradition that Thomas TRAYNOR was from Cavan/Monaghan? Note Policemen were not allowed to serve in the County of their birth.

Sean,

good to hear from you.

For the benefit of this list, I'll give a bit of intofmration, but will then sed you a private message with  email address so we can work on this.

There were 2 John Traynors born in the Ballina area in 1867, both to Thomas Traynors.  Thomas and Bridget Hope of Slievenagark's son married Anne Wynne of Slievenagark, moved to Leeds and moved on to Scotland.  I'm working on reconnecting with the family in Scotland that enquired through a neighbor years ago.  we have only recently connected all the dots in this family.  In short, that Thomas Traynor is my great grandfather's brother.  many thanks to my cousin Paddy for tracking it all down.

Thomas Traynor and Catherine Stephens are still a mystery, though Paddy is coming to Boston in March and promises all kinds of info.  We are slowly connecting the few unattached traynors in the area (as This Thomas Traynor is) to the tree.  We are filling in the generation back...my great great grandfather's siblings.  We just connected yet another Thomas Traynor as a son of a sibling of that generation  who lived over closer to Crossmolina and found his descendents in SanFrancisco All of this would be easier if we stopped using the same 5 names over and over.  But i digress.

I did communicate with a woman a few months ago who indicated that she was descended from a John Traynor from Ardagh or Cloughans (Ballina area).  I think hta tshe mentioned that there was a doctor in the mix...John's son or father.  I'll have to dig up the email exchange.

I'll send you a private message with my email.  Hopefully we will have more info when Paddy visits in March.

Thanks for the reply!
