I'm looking for any info on my great great grandparents.
Their names were Patrick McLoughlin ,1823-1877 and Maria ? Ferguson/ ? Gaghan, 1830-1901. Both were born in Sligo and I believe they came over to England during the famine. They settled in Hull and had 10 children, Mary, Margaret , Jane, Patrick, Thomas, William, Charles, John, Julia and Catherine.
I know what happened to them from 1871 onwards, but can anyone tell me how I can get any info on their life in Ireland and their wedding and baptisms. ?
Any info or suggestions would be a great help.
Thanks

do you know where in county Sligo Patrick and Maria came from ?
Full Civil registration started in 1864, and for earlier records you will need to research parish records to see what is available for the area you are interested in. To do this you need to establish the family religion, and a location - i.e. parish, town or townland. See the topic : Introduction to Irish Records (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,442233.0.html) for more details.
p.s. were all the children born in Hull ?

I don't know where in Sligo they came from as on the census records that is all they put.I know they were Catholics as someone else on my tree has a baptism record. I have contacted the R.C. church where I think the children were baptised but I haven't had a reply.
There is some confusion over Maria's maiden name as one person has Gaghan on a baptism record and another person has Ferguson on a birth certificate. The census records have Hull as the childrens birth place but I have been unable to find my great grandfather Thomas McLoughlin's birth. Someone suggested to me that as the family had just arrived from Ireland they might not have realised they had to register births, this is why I contacted the R.C. church to check baptism records.

Hi topboy,
There are 8 Patrick McLoughlins born in Co. Sligo between 1818 and 1828
Three of those are in 1822.
Ill go a quick search and see if I can establish in what church they were recorded.
Might take some time, so Chat later

That should have been 7 topboy, sorry, and of those 7 I can only find 5. All 5 are at Aghanagh RC church which is Ballinafad - 5 miles NW of Boyle, Co. Roscommon.
The 5 are:
Patrick McLaughlin 1822
Patrick McLoughlin 1822
Patrick McLoughlin 1824
Patrick McLoughlin 1824
Patrick McLoughlin 1818
I wouldnt put too much emphasis on the spelling - this wasnt an issue in those days!
Ill see if I can find a marriage record for both the names you mentioned..back soon ;D
-
Thanks Tu

These Aghanagh births are available on LDS film no. 989739 items 1 - 2. 1803 - 1825 & 1803 - 1864

Found 4 marriages in Co. Sligo for Patrick McLoughlin or variation spelling -
Patrick McGlochlin @ RC Screen & Dromard in 1846 (West Co. Sligo on the Ballina Road)
Patrick McLoughlin @ RC Sligo 1850, 1846, and 1848.

No marriage record for a Maria Gaghan or Ferguson that I can find in Co. Sligo or Roscommon.
The only one is Mary McGeoghran in Athlone RC in 1850. I searched for a Patrick McLoughlin with the same search criteria and no joy - sorry :'(
There are two marriages in Co. Roscommon for Patrick McLoughlin:
1847 Knockcroghery RC
1849 Tibohine - Fairymount RC
The county boundaries altered slightly particularly in the midlands and sometimes you will find that one time it was listed as Co. Roscommon or Mayo, and another it was listed as Co. Sligo. So its worth keeping that in mind.
Cant find any birth records for the children, are you sure they were born in Ireland?
Hope this doesnt confuse you more !
Good luck and hope you get results

Hi Tu,
thanks for your help. I'm not sure where my great grandfather was born but some of the children were born in Hull. I think I'll have to visit the R.C. church where I think they were baptised and see what I can find. It's frustrating when you hit a brick wall , but I'm getting used to it.
I really appreciate you taking the time to look for me, thanks.
Cute pooch by the way.

My Milmoe/Mattimoe and Magee/McGee ancestors originated from the parish of Aghanagh and they were intermarried at various stages with the McLaughlin and Ferguson families. I viewed these church records more than once many years ago, but a word of warning; even though the records commence 1803 there are large missing gaps. Also, Aghanagh spans part of Co Roscommon in which case it is not possible to know which county they come from when the location is not given.
Good luck,
J.T.A.

Thanks J.T.A.
I'll bear that in mind.

No probs Janine, your very welcome, it gives you a little lift when a fresh pair of eyes look at what you have been trying to unravel doesnt it. I keep bumping into those walls myself, but give it time and who knows ! McLoughlin is a typically irish name, and there are lots around Sligo and Leitrim.
Good idea to check out the record, otherwise you could be chasing your tail all over the county.
Its good news if there is a christening record as at least you have a starting point.
Pooch is RIP Im afraid :'( thus the name TuTu
Happy hunting

hi...
I believe we are related as my g-g-great grandad was Patrick my g-g granddad is Thomas Mcloughlin married to Sarah. my Great granddad is Charles Henry McLoughlin.
I dont have too much on my family tree at the moment but if we could get in touch with each other it would be great if we could maybe see if we are related and help each other if so.
-
Hi,
Your great grandfather was my Mum's uncle Charlie. His brother, George was my grandfather. There are quite a lot of McLoughlins in the Hull area researching the family tree, have you been in touch with any ?
-
I haven't spoken to any of them no reason been I don't know where they live.
My granddad John Thomas McLoughlin and my nan Gladys Golden have both passed on so I can't get any info from them sadly.
You say Charles is your mums uncle who's you mum?
-
re the baptisms, you may be the same person I just relied to, I have got the baptism records and can check again as I know the priest.

I sent a message yesterday22nd Feb but you may not be checking each day.Maybe stumped. I have seen all the birth records and Patrick was married to Ferguson BUT another Patrick was married to Gaughan. As usual not all straught forword.The records appear to suggest Patrick 1822 looked after Partick 1819 children.!!!!!I've been thinking of writing up all the births so people can check. The first cert I obtained was Julia (to ferguson) not Gaughan. But Thomas is listed to Gaughan. If there was 2 Thomas's dont know where the other was, as History Centre only have one born Leeds way.If you want to come with me I could probably arrange it.
