Thanks Gerry. No I do not have this document and even just this screenshot has info that I have not seen before - I did not know that Patrick William had a son called Patrick. I think I might have confused you with the wording of my last reply. Patrick William (1786-1871, #108) is my 3G Grandfather, his son Thomas (1824-1906, came to Australia in 1845) is my 2G grandfather, his son Thomas John (1855-1943) is my G grandfather, his daughter Claudia Sarah(1891-1932) is my grandmother. Which one of Patrick William's sons are you descended from? Would love to get further info about the Cullens that stayed in Ireland. And very happy to share info that I have with you.

Yes, my email notifications are still working and here I am . Lovely to hear from you Gerry. Patrick was my 3 greats grandfather. Patrick, his son Thomas (1824-1906), his son Thomas John (1855-1943), his daughter Claudia Sarah(1891-1932). Claudia was my grandmother. Are you a relative? I would love to get some information about Patrick's children who didn't move to Australia.

London and Middlesex / Re: Adam Alderson (abt 1765 – 1814). How can I find his birth and parents?

I have further info on all of Adam and Elizabeth's children that I am happy to share if anyone is interested. In particular the 3 sons, all of whom moved to Australia. I am a direct descendant of James.

Thanks so much Chris and Trish. Your information, plus Lily M’s contributions from 2016, have convinced me that the Adam Alderson baptised in 1765 at Barnard Castle in Durham is my ancestor. I also think it is very likely that the Sarah Hutchinson who married James Barry in Pittington (thanks Lily!) is Adam’s wife Elizabeth’s sister. This explains Adam and Elizabeth’s daughter having a cousin “Mr Burry of Durham”. (There are 3 different variations of this family name – Barry, Berry, Burry.)
As for Adam not naming any of his children after his parents – it does seem a bit unusual, but he was an articled clerk at the time of his marriage and no doubt he could see a successful future for himself as an attorney. He may have wanted to distance himself from his humble beginnings as the son of a weaver.

Thank you Debra and Elwyn. It looks like I will never know the details of Pat's other children. I think its likely that the John Cullen that Elwyn found in the Tithe Applotments was Pat's brother and the John Cullen farming there in 1901 is the right age to be the grandson of either Pat or John. And now I understand that Ballynashee is a location in the Parish of Kilmacatranny. Irish place names cause me a lot of confusion Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Sligo / Patrick Cullen of Kilmactranny, convict

I am trying to find info about my ancestor Patrick Cullen and his family. Here is what I know: He was born 1786, Sligo (from his Cert of Freedom) and his parents were William Cullen (farmer) and Honora Gaffeney (from his death cert). He married Margaret Curren (I believe in 1810, Drumshambo, but I don’t have a primary source for this). They lived in Kilmactranny and had 10 children (5 boys, 5 girls). In 1837 he was convicted of stealing and transported to Australia. I have found information about his trial and about his life in Australia, and I have also have information about 5 of his children who followed their father to Australia. They are Phillip (born 1816), Ellen Mary (1818), Thomas (possibly with second name Bernard) (1824), Dominic (1826) and Bridget (1828). Thomas was born in Ballynacheagh, Sligo (immigration record) and another place name that comes up in ancestry family trees is Glenkillamy (or Lankillamy?).
I have not been able to find any Irish birth, death or marriage info for Patrick and his children. Can anyone help? Or perhaps direct me to the most useful website for Sligo records?
