You are a wealth of information.  Thank you, thank you!

I am looking for info on my ancestors Michael Lynott and Catherine Hughes.  They emigrated to Canada sometime before 1853 (son James Joseph Lynott was born in Canada in 1853).  I have notes on some old family documents that suggest that they were from Crossmolina.  Any help that you could give would be wonderful!

I found birth of your James to this couple:
Michael Lynott ans Catherine Hughes
James, christened 27 Aug 1834 in townland of Carrowgarve in Crossmolina Parish. Witnesses were Herbert Lynott and Sara Hughes.

This was the only entry for this couple.

Your post was split from this thread and moved here since it wasn;t clear whether the family were from Crossmolina area or merely Co.Mayo-

Hi-
I could not find any male Kilkenny families that I managed to decipher. I do have 2 female Kilkennys marrying in in 1880 :
Pat Flannaghan and Ann Kilkenny married Dev 27 1880
John Tully and Cath Kilkenny married June 27 1880
Both couples from Kilmurray.

No children found to be born to them, although the register is VERY sparce from the 1877s onward.

I am searching for REA's.  I have seen stories of REA's buried at Rake Street cemetery in Crossmolina and REA's living in Ballina and REA's at the Greyfort (now torn down) in Lislea, barony of Corran.  Any help in finding any of them would be greatly appreciated.
My father passed away 5 years ago and I told him I would find our home town in Ireland so that his ashes could be put in a lake or river nearby.
The only relative that I know of that was born in Ireland was William F. (could be Franklin or Flemming) Rea born in 1782.  Family stories say that he is from near Donegal Bay in what was Ulster before it became a Free State.

What time frame are you looking at. I don't have ANYTHING for the 1790s-was he catholic? Did you read my introduction for requesting information?

Lough Conn would be the lake beside Crossmolina.

Sounds like they may have migrated during the Battle of the Diamonds which was about 1790-a good many families came down from Donegal then. Perhaps the Mayo library in Castlebar has a history for you.

No Rea in my database for catholics 1833-1880. You could try the North Mayo genealogical center and ask them for a paid search-they do have cemetary transcriptions.
