Crossmolina Church Records

[Tobey]

I am looking for information on:
 Michael Clifford, born in Crossmolina about 1820, emigrated to US about 1845

Harriet Cavanaugh/Kavanaugh, born about 1830, emigrated to US about 1847. She may have been the daughter of Daniel Cavanaugh and Mary Tigue.

James Haggerty, born June 1847 or 1847, emigrated to US in 1850 with his mother Ann & Mary Ann Haggerty. described as her sister

All were Catholics & immediately or eventually settled in the Scarnton, PA area. I think Ann Haggerty and her son first lived in New York.

Thank you so much for any information you can provide.

As explained in my original post, no records avail before 1833-so no info on Cliffords or Cavanaughs. I checks the Tithe, done ca 1833 and there is no mention of either name.
Checked for a Jas Heggarty born abt your time to a Ann, but nothing comes up. That time frame records are very scarce.
Sorry!

Thanks very much!

Hi,

Just noticed your generous offer, which I'd like to take up, if I may.

I'm interested in a Patrick Ward, born on 10 Jan 1837 to Patrick Ward and Mary Maloney.  RC.

His naval service records mostly give the place of birth as Ballina, Mayo, but in one of them Ballina has been scored out & replaced with Killann.  (I can't find a Killann in Mayo - someone suggested it might correctly be Kilfian.)

I'd be very grateful if you could have a look for me, please.

I can't help but take you up on this offer. I am traveling to Ireland next month and would love to be able to visit a specific place in County Mayo.

I recently came across the names of my great-great-great grandparents in a list of early couples in County Mayo. Their are listed as being married in Crossmolina in Feb. 1833. Currently, the only information I know for sure is that Francis (Frank) O'Boyle was born in 1795 in Mayo and married Margaret Walsh (sometimes Welch or Welsh) born in 1799 in Mayo. They had four children in Mayo before leaving for Canada in 1848: Timothy O'Boyle born May 1837, Francis O'Boyle born Dec 1840, Daniel O'Boyle born 1844, and Margaret born 1842

OK. I guess I have a lot of info., but it still would be nice to have a specific place to visit. Thanks in advance for any information you can give me!

Well, not sure if this is the correct family, but here is a possible link. Please remember that the church records were in very bad conition during the early years of record keeping for the Catholic church, so while I did my best, its quite possible that I read the microfilm incorrectly.
The townland is abbreviated so it full name is Carrowcloughy. You may want to contact the church or North Mayo Gen Soc to see if they have other info for you. However, there are a good many active OBoyle researchers on the Co Mayo rootsweb list as well as the surname list-you ought to post your names.Be sure to include OBoyle and Crossmolina on th subject line so it catches the Oboyle researcher attention.

Marriage of Tho O'Boyle and Margaret Walsh Feb 6 1833  of Carrowcloughy, witness John Hunt and Br Walsh
Hope this is yours-there is nothing quite so awesome as walking the same grounds as your Irish ancestors!

Hi Diane,
You are so wonderful to make this offer.  If I may impose on your kindness and ask when you have a chance to check the Crossmolina Church records for my g-grandparents Charles Dogherty/Doherty and Mary Kelley who married around 1860.  He was from Sligo and she was from Mayo.  They had 6 children in the Foxford/Belgariff area 1861-1877.  (Sponsors' names in baptisms were Ford, Roache, McNulty and Dempsey.)  He died in the Swinford workhouse in 1883.   I fear that they may have married in the Toomore parish and there are no surviving records for that time period.  But maybe I will get lucky and you will find them in Crossmolina.

Thanks so much!
Kate

Sorry Kate, I don't have that couple in the register. Did you try the Latter Day Saints IGI?

 Mostly for 1864-68 so you might find some children.
