Somebody thinks they are related to that Michael see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawlor-122

Either way it suggests that he is the son of Hugh Lawlor who married Elizabeth Mahony in 1783, not Hugh Lawlor the doctor.

They might well be related but he wasn't a sea captain.

Michael Lawlor 8 Oct 1786-30 March 1824 was my 4x great grandfather, son of Hugh and Eliza(beth).

He had a father Hugh and as far as I have ascertained at this point, also a brother Hugh who was a doctor.

Michael was an army officer who first sailed for Madras on the 'William Pitt' as part of the 10th Regiment of Native Infantry. He fathered a child with probably an Indian bibi and died of a gunshot wound in Madras in 1824, leaving a young son, Henry Charles Lawlor who, after being educated in Scotland, married a descendant of the Foulis family (also born in India and grand daughter of a bibi). He arrived in NZ in July 1841 on the 'Brilliant' with his wife Anne Caroline and infant daughter born on the ship out.

This branch of the NZ Lawlors is thoroughly documented in a book "The 3 Worlds of Anne and Henry Lawlor" written by Henry Charles' great grandaughter Louise Buckingham and published in 2006, one of a series of family genealogy publications Louise wrote.

Hi Tish,

As far as I can see the children of this family appear to be:
1. Michael Hugh Lawlor 1786-1824
2. Hugh 1787-
3. James 1789-
4. Mary Ann c1790-1833
5. Elizabeth 1799-

Mary Ann is the only one I've seen mentioned elsewhere. Most Hugh Lawlor mentions are of the older doctor who died around 1824, and of Hugh Lawlor of Cork who inherited from him.

For followers of the earlier part of this thread it looks like James Conway did the 18th century equivalent of money laundering in 1771 when Samuel Windis, that famous hosier from Dublin, grabbed the Lawlor estates using a Protestant Discovers bill he then sold them on to Henry Blennerhassett. The money would of course have gone to James. See deed 189310 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-P3G8?i=25&cat=185720

Elizabeth's father Eugene Mahony is mentioned in her marriage settlement.

Memorial: 336727 8th May 1798 Hugh Lawlor of Cloundonegan
“Eugene Mahony of Castle farm of Mullinge in sd Co Gent of 2d part and Elizth Mahony in sd Co spinster of the third part”. Hugh and Elizabeth are shortly to be married (in 1783)- https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH3-Q9N3-Z?i=293&cat=185720

The Diocesan Wills for Ardfert and Aghadoe has the following two entries that are probably her parents:
- 7th January 1814 Eugene O’Mahony - http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/dw/IRE_DIOC_007246594_00141.pdf
- 2nd December 1819 Margaret O’Mahony, relict of Eugene - http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/dw/IRE_DIOC_007246594_00141.pdf

Eugene is mentioned at:
- Kerry, Oaths of Allegiance 1775 - 7th March 1776 Eug. Mahony, Castlefarm. Gent.
- The Belfast Newsletter, Co. Kerry freeholders – 19th July 1799 - O'Mahony, E. of Castle-Farm
- A Directory to the Market Towns: Villages, Gentlemen's Seats... By Ambrose Leet (1814) - Castle-farm   Killarney   Eugene O’Mahony Esq
See also http://homepage.tinet.ie/~sliabhluachraces/firies.htm and http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/property-show.jsp?id=5019

And this might be Eugene mentioned in another marriage settlement:
Memorial: 303699 20th January 1794 Daniel Mahony of Droumdisert is marrying Honora Griffin - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-P5PL?i=86&cat=185720 Daniel is the eldest son of John, Honora the second daughter of Michael. Witnesses were Eugene Mahony of Molahiff and John Falvey of Killarney. Maybe he is related to the Mahony's at Droumdisert who descended from Teige Mahony who leased Droumdisert from the Browne's on 1st November 1669.

Eugene/ Owen isn't a common Mahony name though it does crop up in the Castleisland branch: http://maison.omahony.free.fr/Barthelemy_fichiers/genealogie_tableau.jpg

Hi Tish,

As far as I can see the children of this family appear to be:
1. Michael Hugh Lawlor 1786-1824
2. Hugh 1787-
3. James 1789-
4. Mary Ann c1790-1833
5. Elizabeth 1799-

Mary Ann is the only one I've seen mentioned elsewhere. Most Hugh Lawlor mentions are of the older doctor who died around 1824, and of Hugh Lawlor of Cork who inherited from him.

...

I have only seen an entry for an extracted IGI for Hugh 1787

Adminstration grant for Mary Anne Lawlor says she died in Cahirciveen, Killarney on 1st September 1833 - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9BY-K929-S?i=315&cat=232755 Admons are Johanna Sullivan and Honora Baker, her aunts.

As a follow up to the Michael Lawlor discussion.

Specifically mentioned is "Alexander Lawlor, Esq Killarney Ireland my first cousin " when nominated as Executor in Ireland in Will of Michael Hugh Lawlor HEICS Probated 12 June 1824, which also mentioned his sister "Miss Mary Ann Lawlor of Killarney, spinster".

Mary Ann is easy as she is already fully documented by her death as the daughter of Hugh and the brother of Michael, and he is documented as the son of Hugh Lawlor and Eliza Mahoney when he stated he was the son of Hugh Lawlor, deceased and confirmed by Eliza as signatory to his age and birth date in his attestation document of 18 February 1808 when Michael joined the service.

Likewise I am satisfied with the marriage of Julia Lawlor in 1808 witnessed by her brother Hugh.

Likewise, James Lawlor has a baptism record to Hugh Lawlor and Eliz. Mahony May 1789.

Hugh Jr has a baptism record to Hugh Lawlor and Eliz. Mahoney in 1787, Killarney.

Alexander's father must be a brother of Hugh Lawlor. But who is his father? I have yet to find a baptism for him. I suspect he is possibly the Alexander Lawlor Esq died 29 June 1825, Castlelough, Killarney.

[John Falvey]

The Alexander from Castlelough died in Cork. He looks to be the nephew of Alexander McCarthy, though I'd need a subscription to see the original press cutting in the Dublin Morning Register of 25 June 1825. Alexander McCarthy's sister Mary Anne was married to Martin Lawlor, they had a son Alexander born c1780 (two deeds have him as aged 10 in 1790, and 12 in 1792). Mary Anne's father was also called Alexander.

[Tishnz]

I don't have a sub for viewing newspaper items either.

Under Martin is where I had him placed with the only definite knowledge of him being a first cousin, so that makes sense as being age contempory to Michael Lawlor who was born in 1786 and probably ties Martin to Hugh as brothers, despite not having any specific evidence to the fact.

Cheers for that

Do we know where either of these aunts fit into the picture?
