Hi Darren

Havent forgotten you are looking for usa connection contact details, asked Annie, she looked for it but hasnt found it yet though she knows she has it somewhere in the houiuse. Unfortunately she is under extreme pressuire for the past few wkss and will remain so for the next few so I dont want to press her to go looking for it at the moment, but I will get back to it when it is less chaotic for her. Sorry for the delay, I know you might be anxious to get t.

Thanks for that, I am a little confused however because I understand Cappabane is in East Clare - Scarrif area which is where the family I am interested in, came from. I dont know where the Maynooth bit is comming from. Are you defininetly talking about Cappabane Co Clare.

Hi

Just wondering if you found out what part of Clare they originated from, I am researching Brogans from East Clare, I know some of them went to Australia, so wondering if there could be a connection.

Sent those pages to your email address, tried to send them on this forum, all attempts failed. The pages I sent were given by a lady called Kathleen who had come to my aunt looking for Nugents as they were descendants of hers. Her name was Kathleen and you can find her in the family tree on page page 1- Kathleen Ann Nugent born 1948. The hand written notes on the pages are in relation to her relaionship to the highlighted names. I hope you can work out some bit of it. If you locate Michael Nugent on page 3 - ( 17th entrant from the bottom up of the page), this entrant and all further entrants to end of page 4 come under the handwritten note at bottom of page 3. I spoke to my aunt and uncle in law and he said that that there was Sonny, Martin at home who were both single. Pat went to the USA but came back after some time. He married Mary Ellen Mc Mahon a school teache, they had 3 daughters, 1 still alive, lives near Scarriff I think. Also  there was a girl called Lena, went to the Isle of Man, single, lived to 195, got a big sum of money from the President of the Isle of Man ( I am presuming that would be when she reached 100).My uncle Seamus also said he had a waltz with her at Rodger's bar in Scarriff when she was 98. He also mentioned a Chris who he said was married, I thought it was to a Minogue man, but I will check again as I'm not too sure if I have the surname right.

I will look up the Maddens to find out about the book next.

Happy reading

You are right that the townsland takes it name from the kyle, also that the Nugents have died out in the area, though you will be glad to know I feel that the old house has been done up and been lived in for quite some time. My aunt and uncle live almost across from the kyle, he is 83 and remembers Nugents, also I met a neighbour last night who knew 2 of them also. I got some paperwork from my aunt last night on the Nugents from relations in the USA who were around a few years ago looking for relations and the house. I will scan the paperwork and try to attach to this site or if that doesnt work I can try emailing u maybe if you like. As for descendants of the Nugents in Clare , are you aware that there are relations living outside Scarriff, an O Grady who's husband ( unless I'm mistaken) has thoroughly researched and written a book on your Nugents. I will look him up for you if you like or get a phone number for you to contact. Hope this is of some use to u.
