Thank you for the information Pugh/Pue.  Some of the information is new for me.  I will keep looking for Edward Kelley, but I appreciate the help!  Bill

After 13 years of searching I think I may have found my CARLIN family.  I am told by a new found cousin who lives in Canada that the family name was spelled CAROLAN.  This research points me to Bangor-Erris at the town of Glencullen where Denis Carolan married Catherine Malardy.  Would you be able to tell me the name of the Catholic parish at Glencullen?  Denis was born about 1755.  On Landed Estates I find a property owned by ANTHONY CAROLAN but this is after my family moved to Canada settling in Quebec. HOWEVER, this Anthony Carolan may also be related.  Our Anthony CARLIN/CAROLAN was married to Margaret DAVID/DAVITT about 1790 but I can only assume in Mayo.

Hi, Diane!  Thanks so much for offering your help.  I appreciate your time!

I'm trying to locate birth records for 1 of my g-grandmother's brothers, John Moran.  The parents names were James Moran and Catherine Gaughan (Gauhan).  They were married Feb 6 1854 (witnesses Martin Rape (Reape) and Mary Kelly  .  They lived in Lecarrow, Crossmolina.  They had 7 children altogether, but I could only find records for 6. 

The other sibling's names and birth dates are:
Owen (Eugene) 29 Mar 1862 wit Michael O Hara and Catherine Ruane
Bridget (Belinda) 1 Jan 1865 wit  John Costello and Mary Moran
Mary 14 Apr 1867 wit Roger Hegarty and Margaret.Hogan
Margaret 2 Sep 1869
Catherine 3 Jan 1872 wit James Moran and Bridget Moran
Cecilia 24 Dec 1876

John might have been born in 1867, but I'm not positive.
Cecilia is the last child so he is definitely not born after 1876.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Diski,

I was wondering if you might be able to help me out a bit...I was looking for some more information on my relatives from the area. My great, great, great grandfather, Anthony Granahan was believed to born in the area around 1831, but I do not have any further information on his parents, siblings, etc. If you could please help?

Thank you,

Patrick

Hi Patrick
The only Anthony I have being born that early is:
1847 27 June Anthony born to Michael Granaghan and Honor Dyra, Res Derreen, Witness Jas Granaghan and Mary Coleman.

How do you know he was born in 1841?

Thanks Pauline- Its always nice to be appreciated!
Unfortunately you are correct-I don't have any Attymass records.

Hi Kat-
Very sorry for the delay. I was vacation for over 2 months.
I have witnesses for Margaret: Mich   Moran   Mary   Gallagher
Witnesses for Cecelia were: William   Costello   Br   Ruane

I was not able to find Johns birth for sure but the one below is a possibility. CR means couldn't read. I have the child down as Mary but since I couldn't read the other names I may has misinterpreted her name too, although I nearly always put a question mark next the name I can't read.

1867, August, Mary born to James CR and CR of Lecarrow. Witnesses were also difficult to read.
   

1879   Jan   John   Patrick   Granaghan   Bridget   Gaughan   Coolnabinnia   Anthony   Daly   Jane   Daly   m Una McDonogh Feb 23 1909 Philly

I found the marriage of Edward Sweeney and Barbara Walsh and 2 christenings:

Marriage of Edw and Barbara:June 15 1845, of Ballysakerry  Witnesses were Michael S and Maria Sweeney
1848, Belinda, of Smithtown No witnesses noted
Nov 28 1868 Thomas William, of Killala district, no witnesses noted
I also have a death of an Edward Sweeney:
November 6 1932, of Cloonfadda, Ballysakerry

This info was obtained by another researcher, not myself. You should check catholic registers in the Northern Mayo area, particularly Ballysakerry parish.
Hope this is what you were looking for!
