Andrew PARR took his eldest, Thomas and youngest, John to Canada. His second son, Joseph [with wife Margaret Bloomer and children] joined their father in Illinois some years later, as did third son, Andrew and his family.
Father and sons arrived Canada and probably left Cavan circa 1815.
The other two sons and families left and arrived in Illinois circa 1830.
I would be interested in any info anyone might have of the various PARR families in County Cavan. I note there were a number of Bloomers also on the 1796 flax growers lists.
Though I know none of the relations in Cavan, I do know that one branch here in the States used the name Young a few times.
Anything would be appreciated.
Hopeful & curious,
Doug

And I've found that son Andrew had married his bride, maiden name Annis Parr, here in County Cavan also.
There are two names which run in the early American branch of this PARR family, Young and Alva.
As I've said. Any information on any of the early 1800 PARR or BLOOMER families in County Cavan would be appreciated.

Hi. 1852 Ann Eliza & Rose Parr Grocers Bridge St Cavan.

Our daughter found your question on the internet and will reply to it.
I have a great amount of info about the Parr’s in Co Cavan and have visited the RCB library quite a few times, looking up their microfilms of church registers.
I’d be glad to mail you a copy of the Parr family tree which shows Young Parr son of Joseph Parr (1780?-1845) and Anne Smith. Young (1815-1899) married to Mary Burns (1824-1900) and they had 8 children, one of whom was Margaret (probably should be Margret) and Joseph Henry. I do not know if they had any children.
Sincerely, John E

Am from Parrs of County Cavan and anxious to share Parr research. Please do an Internet search for "Proud to be Parr" and you'll get my genealogical website. At the very top... off to the right-hand, click on webmaster and my email address will load automatically for you.
Seems both Bad Buoy and McCleyre are from England. I'm from Ontario Canada!
Anxiously awaiting word from either of you... both of you!

Hi. 1852 Ann Eliza & Rose Parr Grocers Bridge St Cavan.

Anthony... please contact me too!.... same means I directed John and Doug to use (above).
In fact... ANY Parr researcher... the Proud to be Parr website is there for ALL Parr family researchers. You know, a base in which we can share our info in hopes of connecting the "dots" before it's our turn to cross over.
Thanks,
Trish

Mccleyre hasn't been online since 20 Nov.2009 and Bad Buoy since 8 May 2005 and both have only posted on this thread so there may not be a response from either. Anthony had posted detail from 1852 directory and was probably just helping with information rather than being connected to this family.

I got notification that there was a response to my post, so will get back with you soon,

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! John E., as you can read the last entries posted below your posting dated 20 Nov 09, it was believed you'd not be online again. What a relief to get a message that you've been back!
Did you read my post addressed to you 23 Aug 2010?
My father's name was John Edward Parr... and you can visit the "Proud to be Parr" website by doing an internet search. However, I will post the URL, but in case this forum won't allow URLs... you can search.
http://www.eparrs.com/ProudParr/
My 2xs great is Joseph Parr who married Jane Kennedy... and we have a Young Parr who married Charlotte Lawson. Young is thought to be (DNA matches too) Joseph's brother, however we have yet to find documented proof of this.
Hoping you'll be in touch,
Trish

I am searching for the Parrs of Cavan also. I am looking for information for Jane Morrison Parr(born 1844 in Cavan), who married Rev. Samuel (Robinson) Adams of the Church of Ireland in 1868 in the Banbridge district. She also had a brother, Edward Robinson Parr, born in Skeagh, Co. Cavan in 1843 . It looks like he left to England with his wife Louisa and was a Reverend for the Church of Ireland. He lived in Norfolk in 1911. And died that same year in Eastbourne (Don't ask me why he was here). The parents of these two were Samuel Parr and Mrs. Robinson. Family lore has it that when Jane's parents died that Samuel took her Jane's mother's name to get an inheritance. In fact, Jane's son William was William Robinson, although their earlier children are recorded as Adams. HMMM... All quite strange. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi toeckes,
Have you reviewed the "Parr documents to share" that are posted at the Proud to be Parr website?
Several Parr families immigrated from County Cavan, Ireland, and some of their families are listed at this website. Many documents are being found by different researchers, some of which do not connect to our particular Parr family, thus the "Parr documents to share" so that other Parr researchers might have them.
Hope to see you there!

Thanks for the tip. I looked at the sight but no luck. The Rev. Samuel Parr would be too old to be mine, but perhaps an ancestor as the Rev. streak did run in the family. I will continue to poke around, as this summer I will be in Ireland and perhaps some of the centres in Dublin might have some clues.

There is a Presbyterian church near Bailieboro, County Cavan, Ireland that has a lot of my Parr, Kennedy, McLaughlin, Bell families recorded, so hopefully you'll get lucky.
Should you find Parr records that are not yours, I hope you'll consider sharing them at the Proud to be Parr website in hope that another Parr might find them useful.
I've always wanted to make a trip to Ireland but one thing or another has always seemed to crop up, to the point of my having to cancel my trip. After the third time, I felt it was best to just let that dream go.
Do hope you have better luck in that regard than I had in the past and that your search is fruitful in every way.
Have heard Ireland is quite serene in May...

I'll do my best to get whatever Parr info they might have.
