Crossmolina Church Records

[mamev1]

I don't want to get off topic, but I did find two things for a Francis Morrison. There ia a marriage listed in the 1880's in the Ballina Assizes (?) and two children, Anne Kate and Frances within a few years. This demonstrates the presence of the name in the vicinity, but from this side of the pond, I'll be darned if I can find anything else. I don't suggest that this Francis is the one you are looking for. I think, however, given traditional  naming patterns, there were some relatives in the vicinity.

Thanks for that Marybeth,  we think Francis was born around 1810 if the age on the  1861 census is correct. His birthplace on the census states Mayo,but later on his son James puts down Longford,I know that the answer could be that Francis moved to Longford and then James was born. Thanks for looking I will soldier on.

Here are a few. You might also concider posting your family tree on-line. Any of the genealogical sites like rootsweb, cyndislist, ect will allow you to post your tree for free- make sure you privitize it so no info on living people or personal notes is made public though. Also be sure you list a current email address and street address so people can contact you.
You could post your tree on this Mayo list as well as rootsweb Mayo list.

Family records show Crossmolina origins as follows:

great grandfather Terrans (Terence) Francis McNulty, born 10 Aug 1839
his brother, Peter, born 1844
another possible brother, Patrick, born 1846
brothers immigrated to US 1859-1863
their father was named John
their mother was named Honora (maiden name: Jebrey, sp?)
John may have had a brother Michael and sister Mary
There is a John McNulty listed twice in the Parish of Crossmolina, Keenagh Beg, in Griffith's Valuation

Any information would be appreciated

Richard,
John and wife Mary Doherty live in Keenagh during the Valuation. Children I have born to them are:

1858    21-Nov   Mary   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1858    Jan   MARRIAGE   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1860    March   Pat   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1862   April   John   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1864   May   Peter   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1868    July   Mich   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1870   Nov   Honor   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty
1873   April   Cath   John   McNulty   Mary   Doherty

I have no Terrence or Francis , Peter, McNulty births that early. nor any John McNulty and Honora giving birth to any children.
There is a Peter McNulty and Bridget Nelson living on Rake st having children in the early 30s & 40s. Thery married in 1833. Also a Pat and wife Sara Nelson (most likely siblings marrying siblings.) also on Rake st who married in 1838.
Perhaps they lived along the fringe Crossmolina Parish, but went to another parish church such as Moygawnagh, Addergoole, Kilfian, ect.
Also tried to link the siblings of John, Mich and Mary but made no connections.
Infortunately the register is missing pages, and entire months and years so it is not complete.

Sorry I couldn't help,
Diane

Hi

I am new to Rootschat, just noticed your post regarding a look up at Crossmolina Church Records, I am looking for William Donlon who married Mary Madden and had a number of children, John and William that I know of, I found the following Griffin's Entry
Name Mary Donlon
Parish   Crossmolina
Barony   Tirawley
Place  ENAGH BEG

Any help would be great

Kind Regards

Hi Leanne,
I found the following Donelan in Enaghbeg/Ebeg:

Church records   MONTH   CHILD   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME   RESIDENCE   Witness   WITNESS   WITNESS   WITNESS
1838    18-Jul   John   Tho   Donelan   Eliza   Caden   Ebeg   John   Donelan   Mary   Caden
In the History of Crossmolina, author Tony Donohoe states that in the tithe of Enaghbeg North, which was taken in the 1830s has a John Donnellan listed as leasing land on parcel #7. By 1857, abt the time Griffiths Valuation was done, there was a W. Mary Donnellan. Tony claims that this John was married to Mary Corrigan/Currigan.
There are not many Maddens in Crossmolina, but very numerous in Ballycastle/Doonfeeny Parish.

You didnt mention the years you are searching for-that may help me narrow down some of the transcribing errors in the register.

Hi Diane,

Thank you so much for that info, it was really great, It has really helped
I am travelling to ireland, would this parish fall under North or South Mayo? Is there a library that would have some information that i could look over ?

Thanks so much again, I will need to find where to go next

Kind Regards
