I was wondering if someone could help. My great grandfather was John Nolan b. abt 1870 in Westmeath died in Tubberclair he married Kate (possible Katherine) Berry b. abt 1875 also died in Tubberclair. They had:
Michael J. b. 17/1/1904 d.30/4/1980 new York (My grandfather)
Mary "Annie" b. ? d.? Ireland
Christopher B. 1902 d. 1974 Portlick Ireland
James b. Sept 1905 d. 1980 USA I believe New York
Patrick b. 1906 d. 1969 New York
Kathleen b. 1910 d. 1936 Ireland (I believe of TB)
John b. d.1911 d.? Ireland
Marcella (Sister Saint Sylvester) b. 1915 d. 1999 Ireland
Bridget "Bridie" b.? d. 1989 Ireland
William "Willie" b. 1919 d. 1999 Killmore, Ireland
All were born in Glasson. (Or on the island of Inchmore in Lough Ree)
I know they live on "the island." Inchmore. I was wondering if anyone had more information on John Nolan and Kate Berry and/or their parents.
I have John's parents as Michael Nolan b.abt 1820 and Anne Tiernan
Kate's parents as William Berry b. abt 1850 and Mary Dugan. Any information you might have would be appriciated. Thank you!

Welcome to Rootschat. I've split your post from the Conlan, Berry, etc. thread so there'll be a better chance of getting information for you or offering you suggestions about where to search next.
www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,288141.30/topicseen.html
To start with, have you found the family in the 1911 census yet? It's online (free) and they'll soon be adding 1901 census as well.
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search
Index to civil registration is also online and you can look up the details needed to order birth, death and marriage certificates- goes up to 1958.

Thank you for your suggestions. I just found the 1911 census before I posted yesterday. It does not have information regarding parents etc. I will try the other website you suggested. Thanks for your help!

The 1911 census asked married women how many years married so it will give an idea of when marriage took place, making it easier to narrow down search results in civil index.
The IGI (www.familysearch.org) has details of some, not all Irish births 1864-c1882 so you could do parent searches there to look for siblings of John and Kate. The site was down for maintenance earlier but will hopefully be working again soon.

Hello, my name is Bob Conlon and I have Berry and Nolan cousins. I believe the Nolans married into the Murray family in Tonagh in Tuberclair Parish near Glasson. I am also related to Murrays through marriage of Berrys. Confused yet? My gggrandmother was an Anne Berry that married a Thomas Conlon in Benown (close townland) around 1847. I hope to hear from you! take care, Bob

Yes we are certainly related! I don't know where you live but we are having a Nolan Family reunion Saturday August 7th in Ithca, NY. My mother is Michael Nolan's daughter I am his granddaughter. There will be many of the Nolan's children and grandchildren there. My parents and I just got back from Ireland. We stayed on Loch Ree and spoke to some of our relatives. Please contact me. It would be great if you were close enough to come to the reunion!

I am trying to trace info about my ggg grandfather Michael Gilchrist who married Mary Nolan in Ireland in approx 1830's. They had a son named James Gilchrist born in 1841 who was born in Ireland and later moved to Old Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland. I have traced other Nolans in Old Cumnock who come from Westmeath, John Nolan born Westmeath, Ireland in 1846 who married Mary Innes in Scotland in 1871. John's parents were Michael Nolan and Ann Malloy who I believe were married in Ireland but were resident in Ayrshire in 1861 and 1871. I am speculating that James may have moved to Old Cumnock to join these Nolan relatives although I haven't yet found confirmation although Janet Nolan (grandaughter of Michael Nolan and Ann Malloy) was a witness at the wedding of Hannah Gilchrist (grandaughter of Michael Gilchrist and Mary Dolan) possibly 2nd cousins? Any links that anyone may have to these families it would be great to hear about them!

Dear sir madam,
My name is DAVID NOLAN I am from TUBBERCLAIR GLASSON ATHLONE CO WESTMEATH. I've only came across this site and didn't realise I had so many cousins in america. I would love to hear from some of my cousins in New York or possibly meet up some time. I do be on inch more all the time and often wonder about my family before who left for America. I would be very interested in hearing from any Nolans in America, Scotland or England or elsewhere. I could also bring you to inch more to visit if you'd be interested. My grandfather was John Nolan and my Grandmother was Bridie Nolan. I hope to hear from somebody soon.

My grandfather was Michael Nolan who came to the U.S. In 1928. His parents were John Nolan and (Catherine) Kate Berry. Their parents were Michael Nolan and Anne Tiernan (?). I have visited one of my relatives in Tubberclaire. Please let me know how you might be related.

Hello Dave. I have at least one connection to your Nolans through the Nolans of Tonagh Westmeath. The Nolans married into the Berrys I believe and the have Murray connections as well. I believe I am related to Noreen's Nolans also through the Berrys. My Conlons are from Glasson, but apparently at least two Conlon lines there. I have Spollen, Carty, Murray, Ganley, McCann, Dooley, Dolan, Ryan, and Berry connections in that area. Any connections with those families? I live in Rochester NY. Maybe can hook up for a pint in the Glassan Pub.

I am interested in Tiernan Inchmore. I think the full name for the Island was Inchmore Tiernan.
I note a Bob Conlon on this query. I think we have made contact prior to this? Matthew Fagan lived on Inchmore. He was married to a Tiernan. If I recall correctly there was a Nolan living with them at Census time. Would love to tie up some loose ends on family tree, My grandmother was Fagan from Killeenmore
Seán.

Sean,
My grandfather Michael Nolan lived on Inchmore with his family. He and Pat Fagan were good friends and possibly cousins. They both came to the U.S. Kate Berry and John Nolan were Michaels parents.
John Nolan's parents were Anne Tiernan and Michael Nolan, I believe, however I'm not sure if Anne is the correct first name. If you have any information about this it would be very appreciated!

Hello all,
I, too am researching my Nolan relatives and I am wondering if I might be related to you as well. My 4th GGF was John Nolan (b abt 1775) who lived in Kilcumreragh in Co. Westmeath as 1827.
3 GGF was his son Bernard Nolan (b. 1821 Rosemount, Westmeath)
2 GGF was his son Michael Nolan (b. 1843 Westmeath, d. 1904 Brooklyn, NY)
GGM was his daughter Rose Nolan Brooks (b. 1875 d. 1926 Brooklyn, NY)
My sister and I are going on our first visit to Ireland this May and will be visiting the Dun Na Si Heritage Centre in Moate, Co. Westmeath. The centre is committed to preservation of history and has genealogists available to assist in research for a nominal fee. I just found out about this resource. Thought I might share it with all of you as well if you have not already checked with them regarding your Westmeath ancestors!
