Durham / McMahon, Cornforth
« on: Sunday 21 October 18 19:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I am researching Daniel McMahon who came from Clare in Ireland and became a police constable. he is livng in Evenwood in the 1881 census and in Quarrington Hill in 1887 when he died.
On another thread it was mentioned that there are McMahons in the Cornforth area - i didnt pick up on this as the children went back to Ireland after both parents died.
I cant believe that it never dawned on me that prehaps the reason he left Ireland to go to Durham was that he had relatives there already. I couldnt figure out how he would have left a farm in rural Ireland for Durham - he probably had someone to go to.
Any suggestions how I could possibly join the dots?!

Hello
I am researching Daniel McMahon died 30/3/1887 (originally from Clare , Ireland) who married Margaret Eleanor Proud. She was buried in St Helens, Aukland  on 7/9/1886 and I think he was buried in St Joseph, Patrick and Cuthberts.
Does anyone know how I could locate these graves?

Hi Jean
thanks so much for your reply - that's loads of information - thank you so much. You have given me an extra generation with Sarah Greenwell and John Milbourn.
I will see what I can find out about the Prouds. Margaret Eleanor Proud McMahon is buried in St Helens Aukland - I wonder how I can locate that grave.
thanks again
Joan

Hi ,
My connection is through margaret eleanor proud , youngest daughter of George and Sarah Proud.
She married Daniel McMahon from Co. Clare in Ireland. They had three children with their son John Ernest McMahon being my grand father. Daniel and Margaret Eleanor died in 1887 and 1886 of TB leaving three very young children who were brought to Ireland by the McMahon family.
We never knew anything about the Proud side of the family or the circumstances of the children being brought to Ireland.
They were married at the Parish Church, Evenwood which sounds like Church of England and the children were baptised at St Joseph, Patrick and Cuthbert which is Catholic. Magaret Eleanor's funeral was in St Helens Church and Daniels was in St Joseph, Patrick and Cuthberts.

Would this mean they were buried seperately and is there a cemetary attached to these churches.
I am also wondering how Daniel came to Durham - he was a police constable from a farming family in the west of Ireland. I see him on the census before he was married (with an incorrect spelling of his name)
I would love any information on the Milburns or the Prouds or how to research Daniel Mc Mahon being a police constable.
All i know is that Abraham Proud is the father of George Proud. I have just learnt of George Milburn of 1797 was married to Jane from posts on this thread. I also learnt of Sarah Milburn Prouds siblings on this thread.
thanks
Joan

Hi
I was doing research on the family tree and gave up for a few years - am just getting back at it now and am very rusty.
I have a George Milburn father of Sarah Milburn (born 1823 in whorlton) who married George Proud (bron1812)  on 12/12/1846 . They had five children - Jane (1848), George (1855), Abraham (1857), Sarah (1859) and Margaret Eleanor (1859 or 1861) . Do you think these Milburn/Prouds are the same as yours?

Clare / Re: cappa tulla

Hello
that is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks so much for that.
Thats a huge piece of information for me.
Cappa Tulla was written on a marriage notice in the newspaper when John E Mc Mahon was getting married so I knew it had to exist.
Many thanks

Thanks for that.
I had thought of it as Cappa, Tulla more recently - Initially I thought it was one as it was written without the comma.

Durham / Re: cannot find two sisters Mary Sarah and Margaret Eleanor McMahon
« on: Wednesday 25 July 12 18:57 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I have now discovered both sisters came to Ireland with their brother. I had been looking for them in England but have found them now on the 1901 census in Ireland.
Many thanks
