The Lee family & McKeon family
« on: Tuesday 01 September 09 13:38 UTC (UK) »

Hi, this my first posting.

I trying to find any information on William Lee and his father John Lee and also on the McKeon family (Kilmore East).

I know that William Lee married Mary Jane Mckeon on 13 July 1852 in St John's Parish Church Dartry in the parish of Ematris. The church is located just inside the Monaghan border near the town of Cootehill in County Cavan.

William Lee was born about 1823
His father John was born about 1800 in Monaghan
Mary Jane McKeon's father was William McKeon
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi hallmark,
Thank you very much for this information, it is much appreciated.

You mention that both John Lee & William McKeon had pensions how did you find this out?

Although I've been tracing my family tree for a few years now, I'm still very much a beginner !! I have been using the Mormon web-site and also Emerald Ancestors and Ancestry Ireland. I also use Genes Reunited. Can you suggest any other useful sites?
(William Lee and Mary Jane moved to Belfast around 1865)

Thanks again.
Dave

Well it's what is written in the registers...I was looking for Wrights, came across that one and just noted afew other McKeon ones..

Then I was looking for Lee/Lemon connections as a line crosses my line....there are a few posts here on Lee etc...might be worth looking at, also a few on curiousfox...etc.

A lot of families criss cross each other so your McKeons could well be found by tracing other names. The Lee/Lemons were in Dartry area so someone with Lees might have records to share.....even your Belfast snippet might help others looking for them in Monaghan!! It could be a key......

I have the register for Drumgoon but have just moved house so will have to set up my IT station again but won't be for a week or two, don't have many Peel records...

Trawling through posts here might be fruitful, I hope to get a few more registers but not until later in the year...

Thanks again hallmark.
I know there are a few families called Lee still living in the Dartry area. Before my Father died both he and myself attended the "Friends of Dartry" church service which is held in St. John's Parish Church every year. At the Tea and sandwiches gathering after the service I spoke to a couple of the Lee family members but unfortunately neither of them were able to shed any light about the family history. I appreciate any information on the Lee / McKeon Family. If you know of any useful web-sites Please let me know.

I have the names etc of the children of William John Lee and Mary Jane McKeon if anyone would like this information please let me know.

Thanks again.
Regards
Dave

Hi Jack,
Many thanks for the information.

When all the info from Ematris is copied, will it be able to be viewed on line?
Unfortunately I'm now a wheelchair user and not able to get to Monaghan.

The church where William Lee and mary Jane McKeon were married on 13 July 1852 was Saint John's Parish Church at Dartry. The church is located just off the main road between Rockcorry and Cootehill. More or less opposite the Dawson monument.

Thanks again for the information Jack.

Best regards
Dave (Newtownards Co. Down)

OK - unfortunately I cannot possibly do that - I get about 40 e-mails per day re Monaghan - I know the area as I'm originally from there & my wife's brother-in-law is Church Warden

Hi again Jack,
No problem. Any chance it might appear as a pay per view? Do you know of any such site?

Well, William Lee and Mary Jane moved to Belfast around 1865 and you have the marriage date so writing to the church for any births would be a simple look up.....I will be in that area but not for a while.

You have the names of their children so what other info are you after?

Hi Dave in sunny Leitrim,
Thanks again for your reply. Yes I been in touch with the church and managed to get a list of Lee births. I can only find their first child but I know that there were three others born in Carolina but obviously christened in another church, before the family moved to Belfast in 1865 / 6.

I have absolutely no information on John Lee (Father of William Lee who married Mary Jane McKeon on 13 July 1852 at St Johns Parish Church at Dartry in the parish of Ematris. You informed me that he must have been in the Army or the R.I.C. but how can I find out ?

My problem is that although there is information available, unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to find it !!!! Things like "Poor Law Union" and "Griffiths Valuation"mean absolutely nothing to me because of my inexperience in Genealogy. My knowledge I'm afraid is limited to Emerald Ancestors, the 1911 Irish census and Ancestry Ireland (which only covers Counties Antrim and Down)

It was great to get replies to my question of where Calolina is, and Shanew147 even sent me a link to a map showing exactly where it is. Brilliant. When I studied the map I also found Kilmore West where the McKeon family lived.

Best regards
Dave in sunny Newtownards
