Catherine JONES (nee MCGOVERN)
« on: Friday 23 August 13 11:56 BST (UK) »
Hello there.
Does anyone have any information or interest on the following person, (my great grandmother)
Catherine JONES (nee McGOVERN)
born circa 1851, Glenfarne, Co Leitrim
Her husbands forename was Owen, according to the census she had 9 children


I know that she moved to Tievebunnan / Teebunion following her marriage.
This is roughly between Garrison and Belcoo in Fermanagh

I have her in the 1911 census

I enclose a picture (moderator feel free to remove if not correct for this forum)

thanks in advance.
McLaughlin (Ballycastle, Omagh, Holywood). Kerr (Derry), Simpson (Antrim) Maguire (Fermanagh)

How lovely to have the photograph- if you post it on the photo restoration board I'm sure they could work magic with it.

1911 census says married 24 years (thank you for posting the link) but 1901 census, when presumably married 14 years, shows a son William aged 20 (perhaps Owen or Catherine married before or he's a child one of them had before marriage or the 1911 census is inaccurate).

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
