Sligo 1832

[Whiteyboy25]

Hi

I believe my relatives ( The 'White' family) who I know were originally from Ballysadare in co. Sligo, moved to Liverpool in 1831/1832.

I know there was a cholera outbreak in Sligo in 1832 so I presume this was the reason for their move

Does anyone know if ships sailed to Liverpool from Sligo or would they have moved to another part of Ireland in order to be able to sail to Liverpool?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Richard

It's equally possible the reason they left has economic, went to join relatives, etc.

mmm I google it, found it, but the link is the same as earlier.
I  googled
www.sligolibrary.ie Ship sailing from Sligo to Liverpool
and it was the top result and opened fine.
Result starts
The primitive quay of the port of Sligo lay immediately..

The link is working for me in this post but not in the post above. Ah just noticed sligolibrary.ienew is in the first link, that must be the problem.

My gt grandfather's sister Ann Livingston of Killoran married a George Whyte a shoemaker, son of John, a farmer,  on 4 feb 1869. I have not been able to find exactly where George lived as the placename I was given was Mentuagh.

I just did a quick search of john Whites in Sligo in Griffiths valuations and there is one in Ballysadare.

I have 2 other Whyte connections.

Anne's husband George Whyte was probably a relative of the Maria Whyte who married William Livingston of Rathbarron in 1854 and of the George WHYTE who was son-in-law to the Richard LIVINGSTON of Rathbarron who died 1889.

I shall go have a look at that latter reference now that I will be able to see it on the irishgenealogy site. Ann's father was John Livingston so this George Whyte should be someone different.

Ann and George Whyte were in Rathbarron in 1901 and 1911.

The Richard Leviston who died 15 Oct 1889 was at Rathbarron as was his son-in-law George Whyte so I suspect that George Whyte was the husband of Ann.

I think Richard Leviston/Livingston was Ann's uncle  who married  Maria Barber in 1860.

Maria Whyte who married another of Ann's uncles, William Livingston, was the daughter of a James Whyte.

Ann's sister Jane married Thomas Black of Ballysadare. So my grandfather told my mother he had Black cousins and White cousins and cousins who were Uncles.
