Roscommon / Re: James Morrisroe of Tondragee near Ballaghadereen

o my goodness. I've not been here in way to long. My apologies. Life intervened.
I'd been doing a search for Tondragee and this post popped up.

Several bits of information have been acquired and documents as well. Stick with me, I'll gather them up and post soon. Hope all is well with everyone.

Greetings Padraig,

I would have to see the old post for my reference to Curraghsallagh. memory is fading I guess. Could you post a link to it, I can't seem to locate the post and see what you added.

Yes, you are correct; MacMaurisRuadh = Son of Mauris the Red

Years ago I spoke to the caretaker but no information was gathered, nor on a personal visit to 4 of the cemetery's. Then again, in the old ones the stones were barely visible and so many are overgrown that even though days were spent, Pat and Mary (and or James) were found.

I spent a lot of time in correspondence and tele with the librarian you reference since the late 80's and not much has been located. Seems the family just drops off after about 1877.

I have viewed Anne Ryans's work and the Mary and Pat she ref's are not the ones I search for, the dates are too far off. I have also seen other lists on the net of the kilcolman cemetery's but they don't show there either.

The two Bishop's since 1980's have been of IMMENSE help, as has their archivists in assisting me in "Project Morrisroe".

THANK YOU, and all for your assistance.

Greetings Tara,

Yes, that is our Anna you reference. She came to America about 1889-1890 by herself to meet with relatives it is said. I've not been able to find her prior to her being married to John.

Yes, the webpage you reference is mine.

Thank You for the information Padraig. I think however that these are different Morrisroe's. The Morrisroe's  I search for were farmers. In an area of Tondragee/Tonregee I know they lived there were some 6 farms in a row.

I REALLY wish that the parish in the area was more forthcoming with their death records.  >:( The cemetery hasn't been indexed either. I have a feeling that I would find Pat. Mary and possibly a young James.

Roscommon / James Morrisroe of Tondragee near Ballaghadereen

Greetings All!

Searching for the whereabouts of;

James Morrisroe
Born 15 Jul 1877 in Tondragee
Baptized 27 July 1877 - Fr. D. o'Hara
witnesses - Pat Morrisroe and Bridget Morrisroe

Birth is proved by Bapt. records at Ballaghadereen/St Nathy's and civil birth record. No further information can be found about James coming to America or Pat and Mary. Wondering if James may have died as a baby?... they all go to the workhouse? Anyone know about records of the workhouse in that area?

Parents are:
Pat Morrisroe and
Mary Morrisroe (yes, nee was Morrisroe)(her father was James Morrisroe)
Pat and Mary married 19 Jan 1873
witnesses; Joseph Grady and Bridget Morrisroe

Note: James (the one I am searching for had only one sibling and her name was;
Anne /Anna born 26 Sept 1874 (proved)
(more info on Anne can be found at a different posting, but a lot is known)

Ireland / Wanted; Pictures of Tonregee and Bockagh, Ireland
« on: Friday 03 December 10 02:06 GMT (UK)  »
Greetings and Happy Holidays to All!

I am looking for the earliest pictures available of the area and inhabitants of Bockagh and Tonregee Ireland (about 5km NW of Ballaghadereen).

Prior to 1898 these two townlands were in Co. Mayo, now in Roscommon.

Especially early school photo's or information about Derrincartha NS., or the earlier school that serviced that area.

I would be very interested in knowing what you have regarding the births of the Morrisroe's you mentioned. Please contact me via email.

I can add another James Morrisroe to your list as well.

James, born 15 July 1877 to Pat Morrisroe and Mary Morrisroe (nee Morrisroe also). He was baptized 27 July and the sponsors were Pat Morrisroe and Bridget Morrisroe.

If anyone has a connection to this family please contact me via email. THANKS!

Mayo / Re: griffith valuations for 1848 onwards - how to date the information?
« on: Tuesday 05 October 10 19:15 BST (UK)  »
I think you may be off a line Shane. It appears t'me (only when I use the giant magnifying glass lol) that the 32 you mention is for the fella above.
it looks to me by the grouping used on the side of the page that andrew, owen and Rep Gilbert all were noted for 103 acres and James further down at the luke cox property. This might explain your math.

but still, is there a reason that the letters aren't showing? Doesn't seem like the buildings description matches either. hmmmm those darn allusive Morrisroe's  LOLOL

also... referring to Gilbert, what is the designation "Reps"?
