Hiya Vivter,

I'm surprised that not one of the Dublin Rootschatters has posted a message listing a few of the churches in the South Circular Road area of Dublin as church records might come in handy in finding more information about the McCowen family.

Good Luck with the research.

Hi Vivter,

Do you have any other info on your McCowens, names of family members, occupations etc.

To find out more you will have to cast your net as widely as possible.

Hi Vivter, did you find out any more info on the McCowen's.  My name is  McCowen and I am from Dublin, living in Kildare the last ten years.  I  remember seeing McCowen's of Tralee when I was a kid, I'm 47 now. McCowen's in Tralee had or have a huge builders providers and a few years ago while in Tralee I saw it was now called Heiton-McCowen, still a big builders providers.  There is a street called McCowen's Lane in Tralee,  I only know this because a young lady was murdered in a flat on McCowens lane a number of years ago and it was headline news.
My great grand father lived in North King Street in Dublin City, my Grand father was born there too. They later moved to Kimmage, a Dublin suburb. My grand father had  very successful tailoring business in the 50's and 60's located in Charlemont St, Dublin.  He lost the business due to bad decisions, he kept a big staff on the payroll even though business was dwindling due to increased  competition. Big hearted man.  He died in Luton UK seven years ago.  All that said........I dont know if I'm related to the Tralee McCowen's
His father or perhaps grandfather was a harbour master in Balbriggan port, county Dublin.

in case you don't already have these.. from Thom's 1884

 Francis McCowan,  Harbour Master, Balbriggan

he's also listed in the 1880 and 1877 editions
no sign of him as harbour master in 1894 or 1863

not sure if connected but Slater's of 1870 has a Francis McGowan, listed in the clergy & gentry section with an address at the quay in Balbriggan. A John Mackey is the harbour master.

Wow Shane, thank you for that.  I started to scratch the surface on the family tree a few years ago but didn't get too far.  My grand father told me 3 Scottish McCowen brothers working on the coal ship between Barry in Wales and Balbriggan decided to settle in Ireland. He knew one became harbour master, believes another died in a drinking session, but had no idea about the third guy.......maybe he moved to tralee....
Thanks again.
