I recently became aware that I have family that operate the J. McHugh Pub in Glenfarne, Co.Leitrim. I believe the name is Ben McHugh. I would love more information if possible. The McHugh's are from my father's side, with my grandfather Bartholowmew McHugh immigrating to the U.S. in the Boston area.....many years ago. I also have family that are from Sligo...the surname is Hart, which are on my mother's side. Any info or contacts would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for any info on my g grandfather John McHugh b 1836 in Glebe townland, Killasnet parish, near Manorhamilton. He emigrated to USA in 1852. I believe he had brothers Edward b. 1840 (married Bridget Keaveny from Gurteen, had 6 children, stayed in Glebe until death in 1915) and Patrick b. 1845 who also went to US in 1860's. Parents were Edward McHugh b. 1799 and Ellen Tucker. Looking for any information on this family and its decendents.

Have you seen the registers for Killasnet Parish?

Yes thanks, I have. I was hoping to find some living decendents of the family.

Hello Tom McHugh,
Do you know where in the USA John and his brothers emigrated to ?
-
Yes thanks, I have. I was hoping to find some living decendents of the family.
Well, you did say "Looking for any info on my g grandfather John McHugh b 1836 in Glebe townland, Killasnet parish, near Manorhamilton. He emigrated to USA in 1852.

Hi Ladyhawk,
Thanks for putting that up :)
There are a lot of McHughs in the USA and Ireland. That particular group emigrated to Woburn Massachusetts and generally stayed in that area. If Tom can tell us where his folks are from in the USA we could help him narrow the search.

My g grandfather John McHugh emigrated from Leitrim in 1852 to New York, then he initially settled in Danbury Connecticut, fought in the US Civil War, and then settled in Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. His brother Patrick emigrated 1864, and died in New York city 1912, apparently single. The other brother Edward stayed in Glebe his entire life. I am not certain of the sibling connection between these 3, it is primarily based on all three having parents Edward McHugh and Ellen Tucker from Leitrim. Thanks for your help!

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Leitrim/Glenade/Glebe/655989/ is them once Census, 4 children, 3 living so who were the other 2?
Did they marry?
Are they on Census?
Did they have kids?
If they had kids, who did these marry?
-
Yes that is Edward the sibling in the 1911 Census. He and Bridget Keaveny had 7 kids, 3 died as infants so maybe that gets to the 4 births listed on the census. Patrick died at age 24, that gets down to 3 kids. Mary Ann b. 1865 living with parents, single at age 47 in 1911, probably never married. John b. 10 Aug 1868 I have no further information on. Bridget b. 24 Aug 1883 married Patrick Diamond 06 Mar 1916 at Mullies RC church. Children Mary Teresa Diamond b. 27 Jun 1918 at Manorhamilton workhouse and Bridget Diamond b. 22 Mar 1921 also at Manorhamilton workhouse. I have no further record on Mary Teresa or Bridget Diamond. Their mother Bridget McHugh Diamond d. 20 Feb 1930 in Manorhamilton Hospital. That is all I have on this branch of the family at this time. Looking for more, like what happened to John b. 1868? Thanks!!

Interesting info and thanks!! I am puzzling over this. Seems the Patrick listed on 1911 census and on the gravestone is too old and also has Celia as a wife, not Bridget as my Patrick's wifes name is.
Their homeland is so very close to my McHugh's, there must be a connection. Thanks again.

Probably on Civil Registers!!
