Mayo / Re: Islandeady, Claremorris, Crossboyne - early 19th Century

Hi Andrea

I run the O'Malley DNA Project and I have done a lot of research on these O'Malley's of Cloonane and I wrote it up in this blog post ...
https://omalleydnaproject.blogspot.com/2022/04/charles-omalley-of-cloonane-1779-1871.html

I also visited the area last August 2022 ... https://omalleydnaproject.blogspot.com/2022/08/a-visit-to-islandeady-and-some-new.html

Ideally we need a Y-DNA test from a male O'Malley who still lives in the area.

My email is maurice AT mauricegleeson.com

Best, Maurice

He had a son, John Johnston O'Malley, who married Mary Keighron in 1848, and they had a child John Joseph O'Malley, born in New Ross, Wexford in 1849.

I am looking for information on Peter O'Malley who was a Lieutenant with the South Mayo Militia. He died on 4th Oct 1850 aged 67 (so born about 1783).
Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Maurice

From that I see that among the principal local seats in Islandeady, Cloonane was (in 1837) the residence of a J O'Malley Esq. 

I wonder if my John O'Malley, born around 1831, was related in someway or named for him.   ;D


I am also researching the O'Malley's of Cloonan(e). A Charles O'Malley (born c.1720) lived there, married an Alice Bourke, and is descended from Teige O'Malley c1540 as follows: Teige c1540 > Murrough c1570 > Dermot c1600 > Loughlin c1630 > Dermot c1660 > James c1690 > Charles c1720

It may be that Charles 1720 was a forbear of "J O'Malley, Esq." in 1837.

Any information on this line would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there will be a series of DNA lectures at Who Do You Think You Are in London at the Olympia in Feb 2014. There will also be sponsored DNA tests available so be sure to keep an eye out.

Ireland / Free DNA tests at Dublin conference (Oct 2013)
« on: Wednesday 11 September 13 16:31 BST (UK)  »
There are some limited free DNA tests available for people with specific surnames at the upcoming Back to Our Past exhibition in Dublin, which runs at the RDS from 18-20 October (only 10 euro to get in, 5 in advance). There is also a whole series of DNA lectures - further details are on the GGI2013 website at http://ggi2013.blogspot.co.uk/p/sponsored-dna-tests.html

There is also a poll that asks how many Irish people would be interested in doing a DNA test to help trace their ancestry? (at the end of the column on the right) at http://ggi2013.blogspot.co.uk/p/overview.html. If you're Irish, please complete this poll so that we can have an idea of how popular DNA testing is among Irish people.

Bonjour everyone
I am on holidays in Montserrat and spent the afternoon in a boat with the 3x great grandson (if my calculations are correct) of Henry Dyer (1742-1788). He showed me a family tree from Henry up to the present. Dyer is not on his direct male line so Y-DNA testing would not be applicable but autosomal DNA testing might indicate a match (4th cousin or thereabouts ... 50% chance of detection). He may also know of a direct male line Dyer that might agree to testing. Either test could help confirm a connection between your branch and his and would support the current hypothesis suggested by the documentary research.
If this is of any interest to anyone please email me directly as I return to London on Wednesday and would need to contact him beforehand!!
Hope this finds you all well.
Regards
Maurice
