Crossmolina Church Records

[markg713]

Hello everyone!

I am completely new to this forum. I found it while searching for information on the Kilmurray Cemetery in Crossmolina, County Mayo. That is where my great-great grandparents are buried. I'm trying to find more information about them and on any distant cousins I may have living in County Mayo today.

Here's their tombstone. It is shared with some cousins who died somewhat recently (1983, 1993).

Would anyone here know how I could get in contact with someone in charge at this cemetery, someone who may be able to put me in touch with my distant relatives?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Mark Gallagher

Hi,
      looking for anything at all on Francis Morrison Born 1812 ish, hope you are not to busy as it looks like you are very popular.
   
                                             Thanks Kerrill

Morrison is found primarily in my Church of Ireland records, but sadly there is no record of Francis Morrisons christening.
Do you have any other info-siblings, parents, residence?

I am not able to do a search for the Catholic register as it doesn't begin until 1832ish.

I found this family using the 1911 and 1901 census:
1901, Richmond
Tho, b 1848, a Farmer
Bridget, b 1854
Children were Patrick b 1886, Mary b 1887, Hugh b 1889, Ann b 1891, Tho b 1892, John J. b1893, Mich b 1895, Bridget b 1897.

1911:
Tho b 1845, DEAF, wife Bridget b 1855. Married 26 years, had 9 children but only 8 living.
Children were: Hugh b 1888, Tho b 1892, John b 1894, Mich b 1896, Bridget b 1899, Kate b 1902.

I have only one entry for a Thomas Gallagher and a Bridget, that is a marriage for Thomas Gallagher and bridget DONEGAN, married 9 March 1884. Unfortunately the church records stop so there are no christenings to this couple. At the time of the marriage the residence was Cloonaragh.

All children listed in both census were single.

Hope that this is your relations!

                                               Again thanks very much you are doing a great job.
                                                                 Yours truly Kerrill

Looking for help locating a Hugh Morrison in the Doonfeeny, Ballina and Crossmolina area.  Hugh Morrison b. 1760 d. 1839 in Pennsylvania, USA.  Married Isabella Wilson, b. 1768 d. 1853 in Pennsylvania, USA. Her father was a wealthy man, William Wilson, and she was disowned when they eloped.  This Hugh Morrison is related by our Family Tree DNA records to Andrew Morrison, b. 1751 Doonfeeny, his son John Morrison b. 1774 Doonfeeny, and his son John Morrison, b. 1802 in this same area.  Hugh is not a rare name, but is not found as often as other names such as Thomas, William, James, John, Joseph and Matthew, his 6 sons.  Any marriage, death, christening or burial records would be appreciated.  OR, any more information about the Andrew Morrison family in the Doonfeeny area would help.  Thank you so very much.  Anything I can help you with here in the states?

Diane;

I am looking for information on my ancestors; John McGlynn (born 1800) and Anna Meehan (born 1820).  They were from Crossmolina, village of Rathmoyle which a few kilometers northeast of town.  They were married in vicinity of Crossmolina in 1838.  They were Catholics.  They immigrated to Pickering, Ontario, Canada about 1939 with numerous other families that lived near Rathmoyle / Crossmolina.. Lynotts was one of the families.  I am looking for church they were married in.. and possible cemetary where family members could be.

Hi Mark,

There are McGlynn headstones in two cemeteries near Crossmolina: Leigue, Ballina and Moygawnagh (Old).  You can see the headstones online at  http://goldenlangan.com/headstones.html . 

Also, the map on the above page shows the local cemeteries around Crossmolina.

Thanks for your quick response.  We were in Crossmolina and Ballina just last week and did not find these places.  Can you check for marriage record of John McGlynn and Anna Meehan in 1938?  Also; John had a brother Anthony McGlynn and he married Mary Meehan 1839?  They were all from Crossmolina.  Would you think they attended Catholic Church in either Crossmolina or Ballina?  We did go to the site of the old Ardagh Church and thought that location was possible since there village of Rathmoyle is in Ardagh Parish.

I appreciate your time.
