Baymore
« on: Saturday 09 February 13 17:09 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I have known for a while that 2x great-granfather was born in Co. Meath, but recently was able to narrow it down to Baymore, which I think might be in Laytown. Can anyone tell me if this is right? Also, how can I figure out what parish and townland this is?
The ancestor would have been born sometime around 1810, give or take a few years, if that makes any difference in the names of the areas.

Thank you for any information that anyone can help me with.

The village of  Laytown is right on the border between Co. Meath and Co. Dublin, and in the townland of Ninch. What's the source of the 'Baymore' reference ?

You didn't mention denomination, but dates are probably a little early for parish records. e.g. the average starting date for RC records in rural areas is about 1830

Thank you. The source is his daughter's death certificate which also included specific information about her mother's birthplace. I am hoping that she is the one in the family that remembered this kind of information and passed it on to whomever filled out her death certificate.

I am assuming that he was Catholic at birth. He was buried in a Catholic cemetery in the US and the rest of the family here was all Catholic.

The RC parish for that part of Co. Meath is Stamullen, and baptism and marriage records go back to 1831 and 1830 respectively - so a little to late for someone born 1810.

What's the surname ?

There could be relations still in the area on slightly later records - e.g. Tithes, Griffiths etc..

Hello Anne727 and Shane

Could "Baymore" be Beamore, Co Meath just south of Drogheda?

Sean.
McGee/Magee- Drogheda, Co Louth, Ireland
Kenny, Curran- Termonfeckin, Co Louth, Ireland
Coulter -Co Fermanagh, Ireland
Robinson- Co Tyrone, Ireland

Hmm, it could possibly be Beamore, Sean. The daughter who passed the information on was never in Ireland herself, so very likely wouldn't have known the spelling.

Shane, sorry I didn't get back to you before about the name. It's John McAnespey- I've seen lots of spellings, but this is the earliest spelling of it I've seen.  Not sure of date of arrival in US, but a son was born here in 1841, so before then. And he married a girl from England, so I think married here in US.

I'm afraid it's too early a date to find birth records and the family would have been very poor, so likely not much else in records.

Thank you both for your help, I really appreciate it.

Sean.

Beamore sound promising - it seems to be a road located primarily in Lagavooren townland. The older maps (c1890 and 1837) show it as Beymore Rd. in the outskirts of Drogheda see : c1890 OSI Map
