Crossmolina Church Records

[margym317]

Still looking for any traces of James or Anthony CAROLAN.  James and his wife Mary Doherty CAROLAN left for Canada about 1835 so they should be in the Tithe data base.  Two children born in Ireland, Terrance and Catherine.  Wish I could access the Tithe data base     Mother of James was Margaret David or Davis who married Anthony.  History of Crossmolina says they were from Derry but where do I start there?  'Tis such a puzzle.

Just do an internet google search 'Tithe Mayo Ireland' and Im sure there will be several free sites available to search. Same with Griffiths Valuation and census records.
Here is what I have for Carolan Tithe:
Ballyvimaha   John   Carolan
Ballyvimaha   Patrick   Carolan
Ballyvimaha   John   Carolan
Cartrongilbert   Anthony   Carolan

For church records:

YEAR   PAGE   MONTH   CHILD   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME   RESIDENCE
1838    26   5-May   Ant   Jas   Carolan   Br   Walsh   Ballyvicmaha
1849    60   25-Mar   Jas   Jas   Carolan   Br   Walsh   Ballyvicmaha

1832    6   3-Dec   Br   Ant   Carolan   Eleanor   Gallagher   xm
1835    21   17-Oct   Pat   Ant   Carolan   Eleanor   Gallagher   xm


Perhaps your Carolans were not from Crossmolina?

Perhaps they were not from Crossmilina but so many homes were trashed in the north that families moved to Mayo for food.  They left for Canada in 1835 so Griffiths does not help me.  The History of Crossmolina says they came from Derry.  Again a vast search. 

This is what I know:
Margaret David or Davis married Anthony Carlin per Quebec Drouin record.
Anthony does not appear in any Canadian Census so I may assume he died in Ireland and Margaret went to live with son James.
James married Mary Doherty and they had two children, Terrance and Catherine but can't prove who was born first but prior to 1835.
I will have to concentrate on more Canadian records until I can go across the pond!
Thanks for your help.

I would really love some help with my family history and you seem to be the person to ask.  I have great great grandparents names Patrick and Bridget Donnelly.  I do not know Bridget's maiden name.  They were born in County Mayo.  I believe they were born in 1840(Patrick) and 1841(Brigdet), but don't know for sure.  I have info that leads me to Crossmolina Parish with Carrowkilleen and Gortnahurra as other parts of their locality.  They had a daughter Anna in April of 1873, but she was born in the US(Hastings, Nebraska to be exact).  I don't know if there were other children, and I'm not sure when they emigrated.  If you have any clues to exactly when they were born, when they were married, her Maiden name, any children born in IRE, and possibly their parents names, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for any help.

What is the earliest reference year you have on Pat & Bridget Donnelly is the states- do you have them in the 1860 or 1870 census in Nebraska?
Unfortunately for you, few records exist for the dates you give. In 1840 they are very poor condition, and 1874 is the tail end of the register and only a few christenings were entered.
In the Tithe for all Donnellys listed in Crossmolina:
Carrowgarve No.-Skelbun?   Martin   Donnelly
Killacorraun   Edmond   Donnelly

Griffiths Valuation (ca 1856) for all Donnellys:
ATTISHANE   Patrick   Donnelly
ATTISHANE   Godfrey    Donnelly
CARROWKILLEEN   Anthony   Donnelly
CARROWKILLEEN   John   Donnelly

I did not find any Pat Donnellys being born in the 1840s, but I have a good amount of unreadable names-so he could be there but can't say for sure.
I can polk around abit to see if there are any naturaliation records. If you have more info it would hel- brothers or sisters to Pat perhaps?

Now I find a land patent record which mentions Terrance Carrolan as brother to James Carlin.  Spellings are different everywhere!  But they are brothers.  So it looks like Terrance came to Quebec first but I know they all came from Mayo.  Anthony is the only connection to these to sons so I am hoping that the Anthony Carolan that lived at Abbeytown would have been their father.  Only one record is found and that is for the Mother of James being Margaret David or Davis Carlin widow of Anthoni Carlin and she died in 1860 at age 99 with the census note of death by old age.  So all these "Car" people are the same family.  Irish spelling will be different.  Any ideas?
Between the Irish spellings, the Canadian records and French transcribers I am trying to keep an open mind on the spellings.

Hello to all on Crossmolina Church Records
  I have a couple  question's  if I may! My first is my Morrisons come from Crossmolina or area also around Killalla Bay area now I have have found a place  in some record a person had called Glanedagh, Crossmolina Co. Mayo is this a district of Crossmolina the town or a  townland outside the town.As I have searched and can't find it anywere! And my other is according to a obit I read of my great great granddad it stated he had come  to Canada with his mom and dad and siblings when he was 15 which was 1841/42 now being from this area were would have my family sailed from and would their ship dock in Quebec as they did end up in Saskatchewan at one point ?I hope so one could answere my questions as I feel I have so hit a wall and I thought someone that has gone threw records just may have seen something that would relate ... Thank you all and have a great day .. Diane    (  this is my email   *    )

Hi Diane,
Glenadagh is in Kilfian Parish and in the district of Crossmolina. I do have a few Morrisons that were entered in the Church of Ireland register (which covers a good amount of North Mayo, including Kilalla) LDS film # 897365


YEAR   MONTH   NAME   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME      RESIDENCE
1778   CONFIRM   And      Morrison            
1803   18-Jan   Jane   Jas   Morrison   Ann         Annagh,Kilfian
1803   13-Feb   Mary   John   Morrison   Eleanor         Rathmore
1804   CONFIRM   Eleanor      Morrison            
1807   none   MARR   Matt   Morrison   Mary   Shannon      Bglan,Keerglan
1807   Feb   MARR   John   Morrison   Mgt   Morrison      Glenadagh,Kilfian
1815   15-Jan   MARR   Matt   Morrison   Mary   Shannon      Glenadagh,Kilfian

This one, below, is the only Morrison entry in the Catholic Register:
YEAR   PAGE   MONTH   CHILD   FATHER   SURNAME   MOTHER   SURNAME
1807   IGI   28-Feb   MARRIAGE   Thomas   O'Donnell   Ann   Morrison

As far as port of departure goes I can't say for sure. People from Mayo left from Killala, Galway, Queenstown (Cobh) or even went to Scotland then possibly to English ports. In the 1840s there are very few ways to determine is found might have found the correct family in the Emigration papers because the passenger lists were so vague- first and last name, sometimes an age, where they were from-which would be listed as Ireland
. Not much else.
