Search for Malones in Tyrone

[cdn1972]

I have been searching for philip and Anne Malone who left for Canada between 1825-1851. Last night an elderly relative found a passage in her grand mothers papers with this phrase. " Owen Malone from Gort, Clonfathy, County Tyrone petitioned for his brothers Patrick, Barney and Philip to be allowed passage to Canada." To me this may indicate the home lands but I can find nothing with that spelling. Is it a spelling error or have place names changed since  1825-1851.
Any help would be appreciated.

There's a townland called Gort in Clonfeacle Parish, Co. Tyrone.

Hi,
   In the Calendar of Wills in PRONI there is mention of The Rev Anthony Malone R.C.C. of Gorte, Co. Tyrone, bachelor,  who died 27 Feb 1875. Letters of Administration were granted to Peter Malone of Cookstown, nephew of the deceased. Estate was under £800.
   I wondered if Gorte is a misprint.

Regards

I got an update e mail from that relative today after she thought about our conversation and she remembers her grand mother saying something like this "

Traditionally they were somehow connected with the monastery of Clonmacnoise and the Malone name itself can be loosely translated to the Gaelic "monk".

Does this help perhaps narrow down an area to search? I get confused easily with the town lands, baronies and such used in Ireland.

The monastery at Clonmacnoise is in Co. Offaly (King's County), and a long way from Co. Tyrone...

There may be a tradition or family story that "the Malones" (meaning anyone with that surname) came from Clonmacnoise but as Shane says, it's nowhere near Co. Tyrone.

Ok, thanks then it is probably just something that was made up or passed down as a story. I will now attempt to concentrate on searching for Malones in Tyrone and see if that turns up anything.

I found a record of a Malone boy that matched the Philip I am searching for but I do not know the area. I know it is in the south not Tyrone but it is the closest thing I have found so far. In 1823 a Peter Robinson took some settlers to canada. The Malones started in that area and a Owen Malone was one of them. It is possible Owen was Philips brother and as I stated before he wrote asking for his family to be sent to Canada. Can anyone identify this Church, the best I can tell it is near Cork where the early settlers mainly came from.
"CARLOW (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - TULLOW " is this a catholic parish?

... "CARLOW (COI) , Parish/Church/Congregation - TULLOW " is this a catholic parish?

Carlow= County Carlow (southwest of Dublin)
COI = Church of Ireland
Parish (Church of Ireland and civil)= Tullow

Still nowhere near Tyrone.
