Mayo / Ballintadder
« on: Thursday 24 March 16 18:53 GMT (UK)  »
Ballintadder is a townland in Mayo a short distance to the east from Charlestown.  At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it contained just ten properties.  The surnames of its landholders were Parsons, Gallagher, Finn, Foley, and Hunt.  Their landlord was John Sadlier.  Additional ancestral surnames connected to Ballintadder through marriages, maiden names, etc. in the late 1800s include Gavaghan, McIntyre, Owens, Benson, Casey, Duffy, Fitzgerald, Connor/O'Connor, Leonard, Fleming, Griffin, Hyland, Moran, McLoughlin and Frayne or Frain.  I am descended from Gallaghers of that townland and am pleased to have cousins still living there.  If there are any other members of RootsChat who also trace ancestry to Ballintadder, I would be interested in hearing from them.  Warm regards.

Longford / Torboy & Lugmore
« on: Wednesday 11 November 15 12:49 GMT (UK)  »
Today's Google maps show a place called Lugmore on land in Torboy once held by James Lennon at the time of Griffith's valuation. The map shows Lugmore where the Lennon home and farm outbuildings once were with the Lugmore name attached to them.  However, there is no Lugmore in Longford listed in Sean Ruad's Irish Atlas or in the 1901 or 1911 Irish censuses.  If I search for Lugmore in the Google maps, nothing comes up.  A Google search for Lugmore in Longford shows nothing.  No one speaks nostalgically about Lugmore.  If there is someone who knows the background of Lugmore and how it came to be, I would appreciate hearing it.  Do Lennon descendants still live there?  Thank you for any help you can give me.

Roscommon / Fenry place name
« on: Tuesday 28 October 14 15:30 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to locate a place in Roscommon called Fenry according to a record of someone who was born there in the 1820s and emigrated in the 1840s.  I don't see it in Sean Ruad's exhaustive atlas or Tithe Applotments or Griffith's Valuation or census records and can't find it through Google.  Does anyone know about this place?  If it's any help, the family name was Carroll.

Even though I'm looking for it, I know that it could be a misspelling or a "sounds like" name like Fen Reagh.  It could be a place that disappeared during the famine or became absorbed into a larger place.  Although I don't find it in adjoining counties either, it could have been one of the places that changed counties when the borders changed. Fenry could be the popular name although the name used in official census and land records might be very different.

I'm hoping that someone on the Roscommon board will be able to help. 

Thanks!

Kerry / John Fitzgerald, Sneem
« on: Friday 25 January 13 03:55 GMT (UK)  »
I am seeking death information for John Fitzgerald of Sneem, Kerry.  He was born in Glorah in 1861 to Maurice and Anne/Nancy Fitzgerald.  He married Johanna Neill in Sneem in 1891 and had at least six children: Maurice, Mark, Mary, Annie, Elizabeth and Patrick.  Annie married Stephen Burns.  Since John appears in the 1911 census and Johanna/Hannah died a widow in 1947, he must have died between those dates.  Johanna/Hannah is buried in Maulagallane cemetery.  Any help will be very much appreciated.

Cork / St. Gobnaits & Dineens of Knocknabro
« on: Wednesday 16 May 12 01:15 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking death information or gravestones inscriptions for Dineens of Knocknabro buried in St. Gobnaits, Ballyvourney.  In particular I am interested in two brothers, Jeremiah (b. 1900) and John, a.k.a. Jack, (b. 1911).  A former Knocknabro resident who knew them has told me they died sometime in the 1970s after 1972.  I am even more interested in death information about their parents who might be buried with them.  They were Timothy J. Dineen (b. 1868) and Mary (Cremin) Dineen (b. 1870).  Any information will be deeply appreciated.

Kerry / Knocknabro, Killaha, Kerry
« on: Thursday 28 July 11 03:10 BST (UK)  »
I have been researching a Dineen family from Knocknabro and have not been able to locate the death records of Timothy and Mary (Cremin) Dineen.  She was originally from Gortnagaun.  They were both still listed in the 1911 census.  Most of their children emigrated to the U.S., but a son John remained in Ireland, bought land in Knocknabro about 1955 and died there, date unknown.  I'm hoping that I might be able to get their dates of death from their gravestones.  Does anyone know which cemetery would most likely be their place of burial?  Their church parish appears to be Glenflesk.  Is there a cemetery there?
