Sorry Bill, but my offer is only for Crossmolina Parish in Co Mayo- I dont have registers for the other parishes. You can go to the Genforum or Rootsweb web site and look thru messages that might relate to your area of Mayo. The Co Mayo rootsweb has a great many baptisms on line from a good variety of southwest Mayo, Castlebar area.
You can also go to the Surname lists and post your names there-you would be surprised at the number of responses you will get with a good query!
Unfortunately 1827 is very early for catholic church records- most of the catholic registers didn't even start until aft 1830. You would be lucky indeed if they were COI (there registers started much earlier than Catholic)!
Good luck Bill,
Diski

Hello Diski, Thanks for your kind offer. I really really appreciate it. I hope I have enough information to help you search.
I'm looking for information on John Caregan who was born in Crossmolina around 1822 plus or minus. More specifically he was from Tawnakeel or Toonakeel. Is that part of Crossmolina or is it separate? He had at least one child, Bridget who was born in Crossmolina in 1842. Bridget may have changed her name to Corrigan. She was later married to John J Staunton or Stanton on 16 Feb 1864.
I'm also looking for information on Patt Staunton who was born around 1820 or so. He was born in Barycostello, which I believe is also in or near Crossmolina. He had at least one child who was John J Staunton or Stanton who was born in 1843 I believe in Crossmolina.
I would really like to learn the names of their wives and marriage dates.
Again, Thank you. Jim Robson

Hi Jim,
Tawnakeel is a townland in Crossmolina Parish.
I have no Caregan entries, most are Corrigan/Currigan. The person who entered the names into the Church register wrote the names as he heard it, and there is a wide variety of creative spellings for surnames in any parish register. So, the name Caregan and Currigan are the same name, it was not changed. The same registrar could have spelled the same name any number of ways- its amazing how creative they were!
Specifically those in the Tawnakeel townland was a Pat Corrigan and Mary Clarke, (Clark, Clerk...) but at a later date than your are looking for. There was no Tawnakeel listed in 1833 Tithe, but in the Griffiths Valuation (1850) there was a Patrick Corrigan mentioned in Tawnakeel.
YEAR MONTH CHILD FATHER SURNAME MOTHER SURNAME RESIDENCE
1854 June John Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke Tubrid
1862 June Mich Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke Tawnakeel
1863 July Martin Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke Cloonkelly
1868 April Br Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke Tawnakeel
1856 11-May Peter Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke Tawnakeel
1860 Feb Pat Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke
1853 6-Feb MARRIAGE Pat Corrigan Mary Clarke
Early Corrigan couples that may possibly be parents to your John :
John Corrigan and Mary Dooher? had William in 1841. I couldnt read the townland.
Pat Corrigan and Catherine Loftus of Letterbrick. They had Patrick in 1846 and Martin in 1850. A Peter age 19 and Patrick age 11, both of Townakeel, attended Letterbrick School in 1873.
Bryan Corrigan and Jane Bourke of Enaghbeg- they had several children, including one in 1845 whose name I could not read. Bryan was living in Enaghbeg in 1833 Tithe records.
Here are all the Corrigan families listed in the Griffith Valuation:
CARROWKEEL Bryan Corrigan
CARROWKEEL Daniel Corrigan
COOLNABINNIA Anthony Corrigan
ENAGH BEG Mary Corrigan
TAWNAKEEL Thomas Corrigan
On to the Stanton/Staunton info:
We have no townland called Barycostello, but we do have a Rathnacostello.
There were not many Stanton/Staunton christenings or marriages in Crossmolina:
1864 16-Feb MARRIAGE John Stanton Bridget Corrigan Rathnacostello
1854 Sept Laughlin Malachy Stanton Mary Barrett
1863 Oct Malachy Malachy Stanton Mary Barrett
1856 30-Dec Wm Laughlin Stanton Mary Barrett Shipe (Killeen)
There were no Stantons in 1833 when the Tithe was done. In 1856 Griffiths Valuation has in Killeen "Tenents of Stanton" but no given name for this person. There were no other Stauntons listed in all of the parish.
Thats all I have for now Jim. Please be aware that the register is difficult to read-pages missing, torn, faded, unreadable, and I may have interpreted the written words wrong, and even though I did the best I could, there are errors. The film is 1279204 from the FHC-you should look at it yourself.

Hi Diane, Thank you for all your hard work. That must have taken hours. I appreciate it.
Thank you also for the teaching as you went along.
You confirmed the marriage date of John and Bridget and raised new information about Rathnacostello, which heretofore was unknown to me.
You also provided much other information which someday may fall into place like pieces to a puzzle.
Thanks for the film number. Can you give me a URL to the FHC? I've gone through the links in the beginners section but don't seem to find it. I will definitely look it up.
And lastly... Thank you!!! 
Best regards, Jim Robson

The Family History Center Library link is:
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhl/frameset_library.asp?PAGE=library_collection.asp
There is a great deal of info on this site, and lots of records are free.
Tawnakeel, as I mentioned, was not listed as a townland in 1833 so it must have been under another townland prior to that time. If you have a lot of research i Crossmolina Parish, I recommend Tony Donohoe's book "History of Crossmolina". Very informative, but not well indexed.
Let me know if you have other questions or names to lookup,
Diane

Good Morning,
This is my first attempt to find additional information about my grandfather, Francis O'Boyle who was cited in the 1901 Mayo census, age 40. What I have found thusfar from the 1901 census is:
Francis O'Boyle was married to Mary McLoughlin, age 30.
They had the following children born between 1893 and 1901: James, Patrick, Hugh and my father Michael O'Boyle [who was born in 1901].
My father knew little of his father, Francis, because he died in 1902. My father believes that Francis emigrated to the United States in the 1800's and returned to Mayo where he bought a farm in or near Corvoderry, Moygawnagh, Mayo Ireland where he lived with his children until his death. Sometime after 1902, the family moved into Crossmolina. My father, Michael emigrated to New York City in 1927.
Much thanks in advance if you can help fill the gaps in our family history.

Hello Johno
I have your Oboyle family in Corvoderry for 1911, but only have heads of house:
Ed McLaughlin
Mich McLaughlin
Fr O'Boyle
Owen O'Boyle, Jr
Owen O'Boyle, Sr
Jas O'Boyle
Neil O'Boyle
Cath McLaughlin
Jas McLaughlin
Wm Hopkins
Mich McDonald, Jr
Mich McDonald, Sr
Unfortunately I have no christening for Moygawnagh or for the time frame. My records for marriage and christenings are Crossmolina cover basically 1835-1880.
However, Oboyle is a popular name and there are several people that are actively researching a FRANCIS OBoyle in Crossmolina. I highly recommend posting your info on the rootsweb Co Mayo site to find those that are active in researching. Be sure to check the archives for old posts because there has been quite a bit of activity for Francis OBoyle. Here are the Francis Oboyle that were born in Crossmolina-remember there are a lot of names that I could not read, or pages missing from the register so its not complete. If you can get the name of Francis father, and if they have Crossmolina connections I can probably help you.
Diane
What townland were they living in when they went to Crossmolina?
1850 30-Nov Fr Mich OBoyle Cath Mary Fergus Loch- Pat Flemming Mary Oboyle
1874 Jan Fr John OBoyle Cath Lynn Lean
1874 July Fr Fr OBoyle Cath Gill Rathmore Robt Gill Mary Cafferkty
1879 August 14 Fr Owen OBoyle Mary Hefferan Jn Hefferan Msr? Hefferan
1857 12-Jul Fr Pat OBoyle Br Rowland Lacklustraun Pat Hogan Honor Rowland
1874 15 jul Fr Mich OBoyle Cath Gill

Hi I wonder if you can help.
My great grandfather's birth cert states that he was born in Crossmolina on the 3/11/1874 - baptised in Killala
Name: Martin Lamond - we now the name as Lammond
I have not seen the certificate but it apparently states father as John Lamond and mother as Anne Browne.
Is there any records you have relating to the name Lamond as I don't seem to be having much luck..
Thank you
Caroline

Hi Caroline,
Oddly, I can find NO Lammond in the register, even though I see 2 Lammond living in Toureen when Griffiths Valuation took place ca 1855ish. They were:
John Lammond
David Lammond
I look in the IGI for varients and couldn't find those either.
I also looked under mothers or wives named Brown/e with no close matches. The register I have is Catholic christening and marriages only.
Was your Lammond Catholic? Was there a townland mentioned?
Its possible that he was born in the Crossmolina DISTRICT and not the parish of Crossmolina. That would entail other parishes which I don't have.
Sorry I don't have more for you Caroline,
Diski

Thank you so much for looking... It is such an unusuall name that I am betting that the John Lammond in Toureen must be his father..
Staunch Catholic - Martin had 12 children including my Grandad David Lammond all brought up Catholic.
Thank you so much
Caroline

Dear Caroline,
I am also a descendant of John Lamin (as the name appears in early records) and Anne Ruane. I live in the US. My grandfather, Patrick, was the oldest of their children. Others who came here were Mary, who married Patrick Grifferty, and lived in Philadelphia, John, who married Mary Fleming and lived in Scranton, William, who was killed in the mines in 1900 and Mikie, who married Mary Carnahan and lived also in Philadelphia. I have met the descendants of Maggie, the youngest girl who still live in Mayo, and son Thomas's son, Peter who had the farm in Rathnamaugh. We have been trying to track down Martin. He was the youngest son, probably born after 1880 and we knew he lied in London.
We have the whole scoop on the family so please contact me at (*). I'm enclosing a picture of my grandfather. Everybody in the family more or less resembles him.
Your cuz,
Marybeth VW

I am also a descendant of John Lammin. In the US, the name became Lamond. He was the son of John Lammin and Mary Mullins, and also had a sister, Elizabeth. In early Crossmmolina Church records, it appears that there was a James Lammin as well. John Lammin's wife was Anne Ruane. This is sometimes written as Rowen, which may account for the confusion with the name, Browne.
John and Ann had the following children: Patrick, d. Scranton, PA 1911, Mary, d. Philadelphia, PA 1936, John, d. Scranton, PA., 1945, William, d. 1900, Scranton, PA, Michael, d. Philadelphia, 1955, Catherine, (may have died in childhood), James,Thomas and Maggie, who remained in Ireland and Martin, who moved to London.
They were all born at Tooreen, in Crossmolina Parish, Diocese of Kilalla. Thomas seems to have moved to Rathnamaugh after he married. We have managed to track down most of the descendants, but until I saw the posting here, had no way of finding Martin. Is there any way of passing this message along to Caroline?
