MISKELLY - Possibly Newtownards

[trish1120]

Hi !!!,
 Better late  than never re Miskelly postings !!

As this is the only thread on the Miskelly name, here I am albeit about 2 years late.
I have just started my Family Research
in the last year.

My Great/grandmother was:

MARGARET MISKELLY
Born 1837, County Down, Ireland
Married John CUMMINS 1860, Belfast, Ireland
Parents: OWEN MISKELLY  ( occupation Butcher) and AGNES MURRAY
They emmigrated to New Zealand in 1864 on "The Ganges" and on the voyage my grandfather was born.

The only ref. to a OWEN MISKELLY I have found is thanks to a site recommended by "Ticker" on one of his postings.

FREEHOLDERS on PRONI

Owen Miskelly,  Ballycloughan, County Down

Landlord: Patrick Savage esq.

Value 40s 

Barony of Castlereagh 

Date reg. Jan 15  1816, Hillsborough

Names of Lives and Tenure; John Miskelly



I presume this means the property is owned by Patrick Savage and was originally leased by John Miskelly and passed to his son Owen ??

Any help, or suggestions on where to go from here appreciated.

Hi Audrey check out this site:  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/M/Mi.htm

It has a John Miskelly of Regent Street, Newtownards; leased a house and yard in 1863 from Andrew Stratton.  Could this be him.  Regards Jane

Hi there,
I read with some interest on this posting.
My Grandad, Robert Miskelly was born in Little Francis St, Newtownards, in 1927, dont know if this is the right one, as his dad was also called Robert Miskelly.
Could you  tell me who this posting was to so i can contact them, as we may have some mutual info for each other
Thanks, Kelly

I wrote this message a while back, and have now discovered that in fact, Lizzie Ann & Robert are my GG grandad and nan, Samuel is my ggg uncle.


I have now discovered that  Samuel, James and Lizzie Ann Miskelly are my 2x great uncles and aunt. Robert Miskelly is my  Great Grandad.  It has been mentioned that his dad was also called Robert Miskelly who was married to 'Lily'. I have no idea as how to find out this info.
I am only just starting to TRY an do my Miskelly family tree, but as my grandad has recently passed away, there are no more of his family living, i'm finding this pretty tough.
If anyone can make any suggestions it would be very much appreciated.
