Hello! Been searching for these guys for about a year now with no luck..
Samuel John Heraghty (Herity)
b: June 23 1823
Belmullett, Mayo, Ireland
d: Jan 3 1908
Married Christy Ann Wood in Ontario, Canada.
He immigrated to Canada in 1871- I have the immigration records for this. It's the only record I have to tie him coming to Canada. It is now spelt "Herity" but I have been told that it was once "Heraghty", absolutely no records for any Samuel in Ireland in that area/right name.
I found possibly his father... a John Heraghty death record in Belmullet born abt 1790 and died 1870.
I found a few Heraghty death records in the right area with similar birthdates to Samuel, so I want to assume these may be his siblings.... I found a Kate Heraghty b:1815, Bridget Heraghty b:1821, John Heraghty b:1821, Sabina Heraghty b:1822, Martin Heraghty b:1822. All of these birth years are just approx. I found Bridget on a census in 1901 in Belmullet, and Martin & Sabina have Griffins Valuation records.
I know in Ireland they followed a naming pattern of naming the first born after the grandfather and second after the father.. so if it helps his children were Anthony, Margaret, Sarah, John, Margarey, Frederick, James. I want to assume his father was named John and grandfather was Anthony...
That is where my research has led me! Made no progress with the Heraghtys. Any help is appreciated
