Thank you. It was a long shot, but if you don't ask you never know. Sometimes little gems pop up in the most unlikely places

Tyrone / Re: Death Certificates - Ann Woods & George Woods
« on: Friday 12 September 14 13:27 BST (UK) »
I'm new on here and just going through the Tyrone section.
I would be interested to know if there is a sibling Rachel/Rachael born around 1790 listed on either.
She married Patrick McCallion circa 1813 +/-
Thanks.
Nikki

Tyrone / Re: WOODS Baptismal records 1830s
« on: Friday 12 September 14 11:40 BST (UK) »
Prior to 1845 there are very few records for Roman Catholics. The place to start is the Griffiths Valuations. Drumragh Parish is the most likely you are after, and there is a James Woods of Gillygooley, and a William Woods of Gortmore there as land owners in 1851 when the Griffiths Valuation was done in County Tyrone.
Termonmaguirk (East and West) also is now Omagh.
I will keep an eye out for you, as I am also looking at WOODS in Co-Tyrone for siblings of Rachel Woods B:circa 1792, Married: 1813 to Patrick McCallion (B:1793) from Fintona, Parish Donacavey.
A suggestion of the mothers surname possibly Taaffe. That is the most likely to appear similar in the old handwriting of the day

I will do that. Just finding my way around this forum (I've avoided forums in general, but have discovered with the genealogy that forums are worth the effort, so I am really a learner driver as far as forum use goes)
Unfortunately the Donacavey Parish records that would give us the best information were mostly destroyed by fire, and there were none of relevance in the few records that did survive the fire. Late 1970's and early 1980's a group of relatives from another branch of the family tree had one of the current at the time Rev.s attempt to discover if any records had been personally kept by church members, and look through the surviving records to no avail at all.

I would really like to find anything on Owen who didn't migrate with the rest of the family, but his wife Anne/Annie Gorman migrated with children as Anne Callan shortly after Owens death circa 1854/55 and took the name Collins within a year of arrival. Annies father was a farmer Co-Tyrone, and it is believed Owen McCallion (Collins) was a farmer of the Lough Neagh region.
Owen was either the youngest brother of Patrick McCallion (B:1793 Fintona Co-Tyrone) or he was the eldest son of Patrick and Rachel Woods (B:1792 Co-Tyrone).
Of course have hit a snag, and it is looking that Owen may have been a second given name and not the name recorded for him ....

Thank you. Seems to be only the migrants to Australia between 1834, and 1846 who migrated as McCallion or Callan and changed to Collins after 1843, or shortly after arrival. It's been interesting trying to find their connections prior to leaving Ireland. They are listed as from Fintona, Donacavey, Co-Tyrone, but being Catholic it has proven extremely difficult to find anything in Ireland prior to their departure.

Hi, my names Nikki, in Australia. My Irish migrant ancestors were Patrick McCallion (Collins) Born:1793, Died: 3-9-1883. He Married in Fintona Co-Tyrone in 1813 (?) to Rachel Woods, Born 1792, Died 5-7-1878.
They migrated to Australia arriving in May 1841 with 8 children. John B:1819, Patrick B:1821, William B:1822, Phillip B:1826, Thomas B:1829, Peter B:1832, James B:1835, and Roseanne B:1839.
All children on death certificates/headstones and marriage certificates state they were of Fintona, Donacavey, Co-Tyrone.
However there was an Owen McCallion who remained in Ireland with wife Anne Gorman, who migrated to Australia following Owens death in 1854, with their 6 (?) living children.

« on: Wednesday 10 September 14 10:30 BST (UK) »Hi Marie
Is the age correct, one can only hope. Anyway, I think I said before I am sure that the McCallions in and around Meedenmore, Glackmore, Gortnamona and Aught etc all share a common root but finding it is the key.
I am also sure that the Austarlian information is either wrong or incomplete. One indicator is the naming convention. i know it is not the best thing to use but when you look at how these familys use similar christian names for there children you can only wonder. The names Denis, Mary, Bridget, James and Anne keep croping up with almost boring regularity.
Going back to the Australian info, we are of a mind that some of that is wrong. As you well know Irish records are so bad that being able to put that together in the way it is must be called into question. I think it unlikley that whoever put this togther could easliy find links back to any Irish family to the 1600's. I am talking about the Doherty wing of this as the McCallion stuff is pretty certain as I have a copy of Bridget's death cert and it clearly states her parents were Denis McCallion and Mary Sweeney. the rest of whats there however is open to question i.e. where did the information come from the Mary Sweeney was from Milford and she was hired in Iskaheen some where etc.
Anyway onwards and upwards and lets see where this goes. any thoughts on who the other cousins could have been?
Patrick
McCallion was generally changed to Collins in Australia. Pretty sure I'm not related to your Australian McCallion relatives, even though they migrated on the same ship, but like my McCallion ancestors, all records have them as Collins circa 1846.

Hi all... It will take me a little while to find my way around this forum since I am by no means experienced in using forums in general.
I was directed here as there are a couple of people researching the McCallion name that may be connected to my own ancestors who arrived in Australia under the name McCallion in 1841 and subsequently changed their name to "Collins" before settling in the Bega Valley.
Any help especially regarding prior to 1840, or of Owen (McCallion/Callan/Collins) and Anne Gorman, Prior to Annes death in Australia in 1866, is much appreciated.
I also have a fairly extensive list of the "Collins" of the Sth Coast of NSW, Australia, circa 1850's through to mid 1900's (which includes, Bateman, Heffernan, Tarlington, McMullen, Foley, Coman, and a a few others later in that time frame).
