Census Lookup 1901 for O'Neill

[hotrainman]

Megan,

Seems we may not have a match,  my Farrell's are Francis born around 1801 Ireland married to a Jane McGrudden.  They had a had daughter named Jane born 1827 Ireland.  Jane married a Patrick Brannan on 10/27/1849 in Stevenson, Scotland.  I also have a Rosie Farrell married to a John McVey who would have been Patrick Brannan Grandmother.  I have yet to tie the Farrell families together. 

Again the O'Neill's were married to the Brannans and came to the US in 1906 and stayed in Illinois.  The first round of O'Neill's was James born 1873 Coatbridge, Scotland to a Susan Brannan born 1871 Stevenston, Scotland.  Susan being Patrick's sister from above.  James O'Neill's father again James was married to a Sarah Kelly of unknown orgin at this time. I got the parents name from James and Susan's marriage record.  I have another set of Kelly's beginning with James Kelly married a Mary Devine Ireland both born around 1810 or a little earllier.  They had 2 sons I know of Constantine and Patrick born in Ireland between 1838 and 1848 in Donegal, Ireland.  I am sure they had more children but have not found any yet.  Patrick married Elizabeth Kennedy In Fife and Constantine married a Alice Hannawen 1870 Ruterglen. Scotland.

My McMahon was a Catherine and born around 1840 in Ireland.  Her mather was Agnes Kelly and Patrick McMahon.  She never married but did have 2 boys James and John out of wedlock.

Seems we have a bunch of names close but maybe a generation away.  I will keep your info and if I found some closer links to the people I will give you a shout.  that is unless you find something first.

Hi Dennis ,

 The O'Neill family in my line were from Co. Cork , Ireland ( the family thinks ).

2 O'Neills ( Bernard and Francis ) moved to Scotland . Francis married a Catherine Teresa Farrell in 1907 Scotland .

Francis O'Neill came to America without his family, and worked in Illinois area and the Michigan area for awhile . It wasn't until 1930 that his wife and children came to the US. They settled in NJ , NY area.

Francis is suppossed to be one of possibly 13 children . I am only definate about 4 of the boys names . Francis , Thomas , Bernard and William . The girls might be : Catherine . I haven't found any others yet .

The McMahon side for me is also part of the Farrell line .

Catherine McMahon married a William McPoland in Ireland ?

They had a daughter named Mary McPoland born circa 1846 in Co. Down

Mary McPoland married a Peter Farrell in 1878 in Co. Down .

they had 3 children . Their first child is Catherine Teresa Farrell who married Francis O'Neill ( mentioned above )


Now the Kelly part of my family is on both sides of my tree. My mother's maiden name is Kelly . Those Kellys are said to be from the Kilrush area of Ireland . That Kelly line settled in upstate NY area . ( Rochester , Syracuse, Ellicottville ).

The other Kelly side also goes with the Farrell line. Before Peter Farrell married Mary McPoland he was married to a Martha Kelly .

I also think Peter had a brother named James Farrell who married a Mary Kelly.

both marriages took place in Scotland .

If this fits with you let me know . You can PM me and exchange emails .

HI! I stumbled onto this from Google, I am descended from the Kelly's in Ellicottville New York, Thomas was my great grandfather.  If you want any info, let me know

I am currently here in Scotland from America doing research for my Family the O'Neill's.. After reading all of your posts. Maybe I can be of some help.. I after spending many hours on-line.. finally made this trip over here and went directly to the Coatbridge, Scotland registers office.. They answered many of my long building questions. I was able to locate the birth certificate of my grand father Patrick John O'Neill, the address where he lived, the marriage certificate of his parents Catherine Murray O'Neill to Patrick O'Neill and both of their former addresses as to where in Scotland they lived prior to getting married. After getting their addresses we drove to them, found out that the Catholic church still is standing and is operational and still has records dating back to 1892 and has their own web site.. Needless to say I was thrilled.. Many O'Neills farmed here and were also Iron workers.. If anyone would like further info.. Please e-mail me at (*) Good Luck in your searches..

Hi Theresa,

 Thank you for your post, but I should warn you that you might want to take your email address off of the post, just in case. ( you don't want to get alot of spam )

There is a private messaging system on this site and people can reply to you from there or just put in a new post.

Now about my O'Neill line - I have found out that my O'Neills originally came from Rothfortbridge and Mullingar, Co Westmeath. My gg grandfather Francis listed on the 1901 Ireland census that he was born in Westmeath.

Through that clue , I have managed to get back as far as someone being born around 1740.

So if you find that your O'Neills are also from Westmeath, please let me know.

Thanks,
Megan

I use that e-mail only for this purpose and filter the spam.. I don't go on-line to this post site as I do my yahoo.. but thanks all the same..
I am off again to Coatbridge tomorrow.. we are five hours ahead here so have a great day..

I do know that my O'Neills also are from County Tyrone Omagh, they are of the same O'Neills from Coatbridge.  I am hoping to head over there before my return..
