McHales from Tonebane - Tonybaun, Co. Mayo

[Jonever]

Hi

My ancestors are Edward (Ned) McHale and Margaret McNulty who had their first child Peter baptised in November 1844 at KNockmore when they were shown to be of Toneybane.    The family them emigrated to Wrexham, North Wales by 1847.  Unable to find a marriage for Edward and Margaret, would love to hear from anyone with an interest in this family.

Hi Heywood

Many thanks for the welcome and the information, it would be great to make a breakthrough although I am delighted to finally have pinned the family down to one small place in Ireland just before they emigrated.   As I am hoping to visit Ireland in spring 2008 the timing couldn't have been better.  Best wishes, Eve

That will be lovely for you! My father came from not too far away from there- it's gorgeous!

best wishes

Hi
Tonybane, on the 1901 census is Tawnaghmore, Kilbelfad.  I thought someone might be interested in contacting this lady in Australia, her name is jean and shé decended from the McHales from Tonybane.  Her address is, (*)..I´m sure she´d love to hear from anyone with connections with this family.  I have been helping her for sometime but to actually make contact with family members would be very nice for her.  Thanks

Patrick.
