Hi Hallmark

I have found a reference in my notes to "Kilcommon Erris Cemetry" as a possible burial site for Arthur Shean Bingham. Do you have any information on this burial site?
Thanks
John

Connaught,
Perhaps you just made a note of the area rather than the cemetery itself.

Thanks to both of you for the information. I'm using some old notes which were passed to me and are a bit vague!!
Thanks

Hi Bob
Major Denis Bingham married Katherine Geraghty sister of Bridget who married Edward Kelly in maybe 1775.
Edward was overseer for Bingham and travelled with him from Newbrook to West Mayo to organise the estates there. The two girls were daughters of farm workers on the estates in West Mayo.
 Katherine was known as Kitty and was Roman Catholic. As far as I know they had one daughter....

The two men worked closely together until Edward’s eldest son Thomas was involved in the 1798 Rebellion. Edward and Denis Were alienated from this time. I dont know how this affected Bridget and Katherine’s relationship but the clues to your William may be found via Katherine..

Hi Kathleen
Thanks great news
Major Denis Bingham'a only daughter was recognised as Anne who married her 1st cousin Robert Augustus Bingham. My GG Grandfather William was Major Denis's illegitimate son and was recognised in many pieces of correspondence as working closely with Major Denis, I have no birth cert for William but believe he was born prior to Anne in late 1780's or early 1790's. Did your info have any link to a earlier relationship of Major Denis, I have a Kelly in William's staff list, and also in his son's residence at Doulough Lodge in early 1800's. Probably a pretty common name though. I was lead to believe a Kelly tried to assassinate Arthur.
Again Thanks, your info gives me a new line of investigation.

Hi Bob

I don't have any history about Denis Bingham's life before he went to Erris, only that my ancestor Edward Kelly went with him to be his steward and look after his holdings in Erris. I believe the two went up from Newbrook where the other Binghams were. Earlier Kellys may have been in Castlebar but I don't know. Of course there are Kellys everywhere! On my line there were none in Erris/Belmullet until Edward went up with Bingham.

Edward and Denis were estranged after the 1796 rebellion that saw Edward's son Thomas (25 years) transported to Barbados for his role in that uprising. Thomas died of yellow fever while working the sugar plantations there.

Unlikely that any one from that family continued to work for the Bingham's.

I don't know anything about the sisters, Katherine and Bridget Geraghty and would very much like to. Not sure where to start with them...Katherine must have known of William's existence! Her descendants may know something. Stay in touch.

Has anyone searched Wills/Deeds/Marriage Settlements etc?

These are from  Grantor index  B 1708-1729

or one could start from the latest ones 1925-1929  and go back in time!!
