Hughes Family, Coalisland
« on: Wednesday 19 August 09 04:13 BST (UK) »
Hello from the U.S.A.  I am doing this research for my "significant other."

In his maternal family line is an Anna Hughes from Coalisland, County Tyrone.  She was born in 1884 and at some point immigrated to the U.S.A., settling in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  There she married a Francis Patrick O'Neill.

Can anyone give me any leads to some relevant Hughes family information from Coalisland?

Thank you.  Jean E, Missouri, U.S.A.

Hello - 

I have no idea what Anna Hughes's parents names were.  I have since found out, her birthdate was: 2 Dec 1884.  Also, I learned she immigrated to America in 1913, arriving at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Once in Philadelphia, she worked as a weaver in a textile mill, until her marriage to a Francis Patrick O'Neill.  So, far, I haven't been able to identify the name of the ship or the date she came over. 

Apparently, there are still Hughes relatives in Coalisland.  My significant other's mother, Ann Patricia O'Neill (married name: Coyle) was the one who kept up with most of them until her death in 1996. 

From what I gather from my S.O., Anna Hughes (b. 2 Dec 1884, Coalisland) had a sister, Ellen Hughes, who also immigrated to America, possibly with Anna in 1913. 

Also I just learned from "The S.O.", he thinks Anna and Ellen Hughes had brothers who remained in Coalisland.  The names of two of Anna and Ellen Hughes's brothers were James and John Hughes. One of the Hughes brothers (not sure whom) had at least 2 children: Catherine (Kitty) and Seamus Hughes. 

I wish "The S.O." had given out with this info earlier, so I could have included it in my original message.  Thank you in advance to anyone with a lead or two.

Sincerely,
Jean E, Missouri U.S.A.

Correction -

I have just found the immigration information for Anna (Annie) Hughes of Coalisland.  She arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 16 Sep 1912 aboard the ship Haverford from Liverpool.  There may be a correction on Anna's birthdate.  The ship passenger list gives her age about 16, which would have made her born 2 Dec 1895.  Also, on the passenger list her birthplace is given as Derrytresk, Coalisland, Ireland. 

AND . . . it gives Anna and Ellen's father's name as: John Hughes!  Woo hoo!

Again, thank you in advance for any other leads.

1911 census for Ireland is online (free). There only seems to be 1 Hughes family listed under the townland of Derrytresk-
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tyrone/Mountjoy/Derrytresk/865937/
There are lots of different ways to search the census (using * as wildcard, searching Christian name and age, etc.) so you might find the family with a bit of hunting.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Thank you for the great lead!  I did find Anna (Annie) Hughes, her parents, John and Kate Hughes, with a brother and sister in the 1911 census for Ireland, in Coalisland, in the DED of Tullyniskan.

There is a record of an Annie Hughes here:https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1895/02198/1830806.pdf

Her mother's maiden name is also Hughes!
