Sarah Farrel b.c. 1818 Monaghan

[darylr]

Hi,

I was wandering if anyone could help me find the birth of my 2 X great aunt Sarah Farrel/Farrell,
according to the poor relief records, in the Mitchell Library, she was born in Co. Monaghan. Her parents were Thomas Farrel & Agnes McVitie. My 2 X great grandmother Mary Farrel/Farrell b.c. 1817 could also have been born there too. The family were Presbyterian.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks,

Daryl

Hello Daryl, re your search.  For Baptism/Marriage records for Monaghan you could try www.rootsireland.ie which is a pay site - you can get a 1 day subscription & it has records for Monaghan for the period you mention Church of Ireland records.
www.nationalarchives.ie for Tithe Applotment & Griffith Valuation records (land records which only place a person in a particular location).
In the Tithe records it shows 2 as follows:
Thomas Farrell Townland of Corygaldra Parish of Aghnamullen Monaghan in 1829 land tenant
Thomas Farrell Townland of Deraledigan Clones Monaghan 1832 land tenant
1901 Census in Clones Monaghan shows a Thomas Farrell age 77 (born c. 1824) Farmer, coould possibly be your family given birth year. Good luck

Hi,

Thanks for looking up Thomas for me in the Tithe Applotments, the 2 you found might be related.
I have had a look at rootsireland already but didn't find Mary or Sarah in their records.
My Farrel's moved from Ireland to Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland by 1830 onwards as Mary married there in 1836.

I found her sister Sarah, in the poor relief records yesterday in the Mitchell Library which said she came from Monaghan, that's why I thought Mary may have been born there too.

MY 2X Grandmother was Eliza Jane Farrell and emigrated to Canada  Born 1835 and came to Canada when she was 27 and died 1898.  The name Thomas is a common name in our family.  Her gravestone says born in County Monaghan.

hi Daryl,
   I have a transcription of marriage at Cahans Presbyterian Church in Monaghan for Thomas Farrell & Agnes as " Farril Thos & Agnes (McVitty) of Slaverow (Kilmore) 21 Feb 1807 - irregular marriage
Jno  (1st son) 10 Apl 1807 Bap 3 May" Do not have Sarah in my database although Scottish census
seems to suggest b. abt 1819 in ireland. You might try Cahans records.
   Did you have Sarah's married name - possibly McLaughlan(d)?
  Also a Sandra Ward posted the image of Thomas death cert from 1861 which shows his parents as Thomas Farrill and Diana Farrill (maiden name Sweeton).  Cahans Presbyterian lists following for them:
"Ferral, Thomas & Dina (Sweethen) of Orker (Kilmore)
Elizabeth (4th dau.) b. 27 Aug 1774, bap 11 Sept
Sarah (5th dau) b. 9 June 1776  bap 29 July (of Loyst)
Mary (7th dau) b. 27 May 1779, bap 13 June"
(This may be Urcher, Kilmore?)

These transcriptions are from LDS reel 1279239 #16 of Ulster Journal of Archaeology series 2 vol. 16, 1910 which journal also seems to be online at archive.com. URL is a long one, email me at
Removed and I will send it to you.
Not related to these Farrells as far as I know (mine lived in Donagh Parish).

Thanks for shrink link-
Sorry to  mislead about Cahans link - it seems only to go to an article on the history of Cahans Presbyterian Church - not register entries, although at the end of the article it does say "to be continued". Not certain in what volume it was continued.
LDS notes on the film # 1279239 indicate following:
"Cahans Presbyterian Church was united with Ballybay and Derryvally churches in 1945. In 1972 they were amalgamated under the name of Ballybay First Presbyterian Church. The Cahans church was in the civil parish of Tullycorbet. The Ballybay church is in the parish of Ballybay.

Contains a partial, brief history of the Cahans church and a transcript of the church register arranged in alphabetical order by families, 1752-1901."

Yes...   "Cahan's Exodus" might be worth Googling!
