where is or was Hag field?
« on: Saturday 14 March 09 19:12 UTC (UK) »
Hi all,

I am hoping I may now be on the right track with the Maye family thanks to various links through this site. (I just hope its the right branch!)

It appears that my grandfather may have been brought up in Kilkelly along with 7 brothers and 2 sister on a family farm 7 brothers and both sisters left Ireland in early 1920's for England and America while the eldest John stayed at the farm, but records seem to show that some have their place of birth or up bringing as Hag field or just as Kilkelly my grandfather was possibly registered in Swineford. it seems a bit complicated can any one help ?
where was or is Hag field ?

thanks

Hag-field seems to be near to Charlestown, Co. Mayo

it's mentioned on a few web-pages including : http://archives.tcm.ie/westernpeople/2006/07/04/story31708.asp

it shows up on google maps if you enter "hagfield, co. mayo"

Thank you
your replies now give me a better idea where I need to focus. If this is the right branch of the Maye family the farm house was bought by a son of one of the brothers in the past 20 years so may be easy to find (I hope)

Thank you

In 1997 there was a Book written by a Local Historian about Charlestown and the surrounding areas.
              If I remember rightly it was written by Morgan Morris.Called
"Doorways to the Past" I know it sold well in the pubs and the postoffice in Charlestown. Alot of local people put their Knowledge into the book.

You could try looking here.. http://www.valoff.ie/index.html       and put in any details you know, you could also try Googling Pages from Ireland> Hagfield and advanced search for planning permission, or a letter to the local post office asking if they could pass on a message to them if they knew them......
