Derry (Londonderry) / Re: HIGGINS/O'KANE family, Glenullin/Garvagh
« on: Thursday 28 January 21 17:18 GMT (UK)  »
I have a database of many families from Glenullin,  Co. Derry including the townlands of Brockagh Brockaghboy, Lisnascreaghog and more. I checked for the parents of Michael Mullan (1868-1917), who married  1901 in Phil., PA to Matilda"Tilly" Mullan. According to my database, Michael Mullan's parents were John  "Mick" Mullan b. abt 1837 and died after 1900, and Bridget "Biddy" McCloskey b. abt 1837 also. John and Bridget married on 11 Jul 1867 in Dungiven, Co. Derry, Witnesses Pat McCloskey and Betty McCloskey. Info from vital records of Ireland. According to their marriage record, John, 30, was from Coolosky son of Michael a farmer. Bridget, age 30, spinster, resides at Cluntygeeragh, her father Michael.

Quote from: o kane on Monday 24 May 10 20:50 BST (UK)
my mother was susana o'kane.(roshie) my uncle dan , her brother was married to mary higgins.

I knew Dane O'Kane and his wife Mary Higgins when they used to spend summers in their house on the corner. Dan's oldest brother Bernard "Barney" O'Kane married in New York to Tillie Mullan from Coolcoscreaghan. Tillie's parents were Michael Mullan and Matilda Mullan and they lived in Coolcoscreaghan after they married in 1901 in Philadelphia. I have been trying for a long time to find out the names of Michael Mullan's parents. Would you know who they were? Michael died in 1917 at Coolcoscreaghan.

Hi Maureen, If you email me at Macauley@tiac.net   I will send you my cousin Kevin's email address and you can contact him as he is the one who is related to Rev. Stokes.

Thanks for putting up such a great photo! after 15 years of searching for Rev. Stokes' ancestry with help from another cousin, I finally found that my husband had no relationship to the Stokes through his McAuley/McGauley/Macauley ancestors, but his cousin who helped with the research and is a McCormack/McKenna descendant, is related. He will probably contact you. Thanks again. Sheila Macauley

I think that I have found his family. I found Mary Stokes, b. Ireland, a wid. with 10 children in the 1901 census for Failsworth, Lancashire. One child is listed as Francis, age 5. I think this is John Francis Stokes who became a priest. I checked the 1891 census and could not find the family. I checked the 1881 census and found a James and Mary Stokes, both born in Ireland, with a daughter Mary Ann. This child is the oldest child in the 1901 census. I then found Mary Stokes widow, living in Newton Heath Lancashire with 2 of her sons in the 1911 census. My proof is that Mary's birth place is listed as Dunleer, Co. Louth. I was told by some distant cousins that her surname might have been LYONS. I also checked the England death index and found a James Stokes who died in Prestwich in 1900, most likely her husband.

I have Ancestry.com and just spent 2 hours looking at the England census for 1901 and 1891 and did not find a Mary Stokes born in Ireland or Scotland in the Prestwich area? I am having no luck.

I am assuming that he was born in Prestwich in 1896 and I looked in the 1901 Census for England and Ireland and didn't find anything that I thought could be his family. I could have missed him though. My cousins said his mother and maybe his father were born in Ireland. Not positive about the father. Cousins could be wrong on all accounts!

I also had found the birth in Prestwich but have held off ordering it as other docs said he was a native of Mullacrew. I also had found him on several ships one of which said he was born in England. I also wrote to St. Patricks in Maynooth but they told me records burned in a fire a number of years ago. I am hoping some descendant of one of his possible siblings might have the info.
