Carrington born 1826

[Tessy]

Hello

I've just discovered my gr gr grandfather was born in Roscommon - not sure if it was the town or the county. His name was Michael Carrington and he was born 1826. He was married to Ann born 1824. I presume they were married in Ireland as I cannot find any entry for them in the free BMD. If anyone could tell me any more I'd be grateful.

Hello Tessy,

There are only two Carringtons shown on Griffith's Valuations of 1857/8
Would Michael be the person you are seeking?

Patrick Carrington, Cuilbeg, Termonbarry, Roscommon
Michael Carrington, Cuilbeg, Termonbarry, Roscommon

Hi Chris

Thanks for that. To be quite honest I have no idea if this is my Michael, as I can't find my Carrington information because the house is upside down at the moment ,due to decorating, and I can't remember on which English census Micheal first appears. I have a feeling it predates these entries though. But thank you and if I find it could be him I'll get back to you.

My Michael Carrington was living in Northumberland in England by at least 1851 with Ann his wife. He had a daughters Catherine born 1848, Eliza,born 1851, Sarah born 1855, Mary Anne born 1853, Michael J born 1856

So I guess we are related. you're the first Carrington relative I've found!

Hi I hope I am getting in touch with Tessy as this is my first post on this website. The reason i am doing this is because of what seems to be our family connection with the Tanneys. I have just sent an article on the Tanney family to Mike Kirkup a historian in Ashington about my own ancestory which seems to run parallel to your own. I accesssed the internet tonight varied my google search and discovered your question about the Tanney family in Cowpen. I could not believe my eyes and felt obliged to register on this site to make contact with you. My grandmother (margaret) was a Tanney daughter of John Tanney of Cowpen whose own father was a John Tanney. I was aware that they came over from Pomeroy and I have details of everyone directly descendant of my great grandfather. I also have information and indeed a photo of Arthur the son of Patrick Tanney who you mentioned in your post. Arthur was killed in France fighting for Australia during the 1st  world war. His Uncle Daniel Tanney was also killed. (brother of my great grandfather).

If you are interested in the information which I have sent to Mike Kirkup who produces the magazine "cree full of coals" then I would be happy to send it to you.

Look forward to hearing from you. I by the way was born in Newsham near Blyth brought up in Ashington and now live in London.
