The Yore Name

[curlytops]

Hi!

Has anyone info on the family name Yore.  Great great grandparents Patrick Yore and Alice(nee McDermott) left Meath to Co Durham England.  They were both born around 1820's.  Any info much appreciated!!

Hiya curlytops,

The online extracts of Griffiths Valuations of Co. Meath, 1855 show a number of people with the Yore surname.

HI Chris

Thanks for info....have just had a look and I see what you mean,  there are quite a few names there!!!  I also had a look for the Frain's from Co Mayo (my other Great Great Grandparents) and found some more names....so much appreciated thanks again!!

The Yore name is still alive and well around this part of County Meath. If you find a copy of the Irish phonebooks (046 area),  you'll probably find a surviving relative there.

Hiya curlytops,

You don't say where you are located. I feel that you might have problems getting an 046 area Irish phonebook so you might be better to try Yore in the Eircom online phonebook ... www.eircomphonebook.ie

MikeW, sorry you weren't able to join us in Dublin on Friday evening. It was great craic meeting those members who were there. Maybe you could send curlytops the Yores listed in the 046 Directory via a PM.
I may be able to get them too as I think that the Ballynahinch library may have Irish Directories.

Hi Mike and Chris

Thankyou for your posts..all help is very much appreciated!!

I live in Cumbria England so as you can imagine trying to trace back thru Irish records is proving difficult...I did get some info from Church LDS but came to standstill again!!  I can see why it takes a long time to do this but I am having fun.  Never been to Ireland either but am intending to make my journey of discovery when I have a bit more to go on!!  Keep up the good work and once again I appreciate so much your  help!!

Best Wishes Anne-Marie

If you are within reach of a good library.... see if they have copies of the Irish phonebooks. When I lived in England, my local library had  them - came in useful.
