Title: Searching for Conboy, Reynolds and McHugh Information
Post by: mickyogue on Sunday 17 February 13 22:26 GMT (UK)

My Great Great Grandparents were Patrick Conboy and Anne Reynolds, married in Mohill, Co. Leitrim.

Their Children..........
Anne Conboy oct 28 1841... Did she marry and if she did what was her husbands name?
Mary Conboy jan 21 1844.. Did she marry and if she did what was her husbands name?
Thomas Conboy aug 20 1846 .. Did he marry and if he did what was his wifes name?
Bernard Conboy aug 28 1852.. Did he marry and if he did what was his wifes name?
Catherine Conboy may 20 1855.. Did she marry and if she did what was her husbands name?

and
James Conboy dec 28 1839 . Married to Margaret McHugh. My Great Grandparents. Believed to come from Killanummery, Co. Leitrim and were married in Mohill. Co. Leitrim


I am trying to find information on Anne, Mary, Thomas, Bernard and Catherine. I would also like to find out more about " Anne Reynolds as well as the McHugh Family "

Hi Micky!

I was wondering if you had found any new information about the Conboys? I have been really sporadic with my research lately and I was interested in knowing if you had found any new clues?

Have you found them in the 1901Census.
There is a James and Margaret in Liadananan, age is a bit out but not much
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Leitrim/Mohill/Lisdadanan/1477644/.

I was having a look for the others and came upon this family (age is way off)
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Leitrim/Mohill/Curraun/659587/

So had a look in America for youngest birth and happened on Conboy's with a McHugh staying with them, which was an interesting combination https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MKC9-G1X

Found the family I was looking for transcriber as Conbor https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MSKB-C22
And the parents age is way off again.

Possibly none of this is any use but maybe get the ball rolling.

Hi Sinann, thank you for your  message.   The  family that  you found living in Lisdadnan in the 1901  census  are my relations. However the others that you  mentioned I don't think are related  to me.
Regards

If you go to PRONI or get the books on Pension Applications which comes in 2 parts you can find the likes of

Pension Applicant's Name : Alice (McHUGH) REYNOLDS County : Leitrim

which gets you the 1851 Census details for Alice's household.

....BUT.... a lot of records that were meant to stay in Dublin were sent to PRONI and a lot for Northern Ireland are still in Dublin and contained within the link you posted.

The records  in PRONI has a lot of Southern records so if one reads the NAI release notes it suggests that ALL Rep  of Ire records are in Dublin so to many it would appear their kin didn't apply!

PRONI has records for some in Cork, Kerry etc etc

The record for Alice (McHUGH) REYNOLDS County : Leitrim is in PRONI... for example. It should be in Dublin even according to NAI website.

PRONI and NAI need to swap some records and have the R of I ones in Dublin which is where they are meant to be... and contained within the NAI database.

Knew I had it somewhere...  there are 8914 records that should technicaly be in PRONI.. 

RETURNS: Antrim...2085 Armagh...1135 L/derry...1096 Fermanagh...1218
Tyrone...1400 and Down...1980

Total 8914 in the Dublin lot!

I don't have the figure for how many records for Republic of Ireland are in PRONI...

I got the two books by Josephine Masterson: Ireland 1841/1851 Census Abstracts (Republic of Ireland) and Ireland 1841/1851 Census Abstracts (Northern Ireland). using Interlibrary Loan facility.

I'm really following this thread with a lot of interest since Mickyogue and I think that we are related, but there are stilll many missing pieces and I have had a tough time with researching the Irish branch of the family. Maybe the renewed discussion in this thread will yield some leads.

Hello Ed,

Who was Margaret's father? My Great Grandmother was Mary Conboy.  She was born in 1866 in Fenagh.
