Several of us are searching for connections to Terrance and James Carolan who we now believe came from Meath.  Both brothers traveled to Grenville, Quebec in about 1835 where they were given 200 acres of raw land.  It is still raw!  Terrance only shows up on a Land Patent but we can find a trail of family for James beginning with his wife Mary Dherty Carolan  having 9 children.  Does any of this sound familiar?

There are a lot of Carolan records on the Nobber family register (back to 1754). It is serachable through www.rootsireland.ie or the film can be ordered through LDS. They pop up as witnesses at quite a few of my family's baptisms.

Since I posted my question, I have found that the James Carlin family came to Montreal in June 1834 so way before your branch.  Only one record says County Mayo and so does family lore but nothing connects us to Meath.  That county is the only place Carolans are listed in a Surname directory.  1900 would be too recent for us.  Keep looking.  You'll find something.

dont know if you already have this, but there's a possible match for the people you mentioned on the 1911 census in the townland of Diralagh, Co. Meath :

  Carolan family

Thanks for the link, i have not seen that before.

The ages are a little inconsistent and the surname is possibly mistranscribed, but I think this this probably the same family on the 1901 census - in the same townland :

  Carlon family, 1901
 
note : the transcription and forms for this townland seem to be faulty - some Sligo details seem to be crossed with the correct Co. Meath details. The details shown on the Form As for this townland dont match the transcriptions, plus I think the Carlon/Carolan household may show an extra two Sligo born people by mistake.

Thanks, that is excellent, i bet thats there correct age, the 1911 census shows them as 69, which means she would have been 49 when she had hugh, seems abit high to have a child.
