Leitrim / Re: McGoohan family Oughterragh
« on: Tuesday 28 April 09 01:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi Lynda,

I too am looking for a McGoohan ( think!)  I say I think because I couldn't really decipher the name on the marriage certificate of my great grandfather.  However, it looks as though it might be Mcgoohan.  I'm looking for Julia Mcgoohan who married William Smith probably in County Cavan and moved to County Leitrim.  My great grandfather was born around 1850.  Do you think we could be looking for the same people?

Cheers

Leitrim / IRISH KELLYs

I have another problem with my ancestry - Kellys from Ireland!  I only know that my great grandmother's name was Catherine Kelly, born in Australia in1862 to James Kelly and Mary Kelly.  James notifies that he was born in Ireland (no other info) to parents William Kelly and Bridget Kenny.  Mary Kelly gives her parents as same.  They were both born around 1837 in Ireland.  The were both illiterate and I'm thinking that Mary's parents were not the same as James but who knows?

Any way to track these people down?  Thanks in advance.

Hi Christopher,

Julia's name could well have been McGoohan.  I'll look it up when I go to Ireland.  Thank you for that.  Anywhere in particular I should go to find out info in Ireland?  I'm new to this game and we're just planning to be in Ireland in May.

Cheers

Leitrim / Irish SMITHS
« on: Friday 20 March 09 21:41 GMT (UK)  »
 ???I'm trying to trace my Irish ancestors but I haven't much information.  My greatgrandfather, Francis Smith, came out to Australia around 1880, aged 26 on arrival.  He was possibly a member of a ship's crew and perhaps jumped ship in Sydney.  He married my greatgrandmother , Catherine Kelly, aged 28 years, in Bathurst NSW Australia in 1883.  He cites his father's name as Peter Smith and his mother as Julia McGoonan, although the McGoonan is somewhat hard to decipher so could be McGiven or something else.  He reported that he was born in Ireland in county Leitrim. Could anyone please help?  As well as trying to trace my ancestors, I'm looking forward in the next few months to visiting Ireland and would love to see his birth place.  Thanks so much.
