have not gone there yet...

You know the family has always joked that maybe we do not want to know...LOL...find out they had to leave due to something bad happening...

Sure sounds from the Obits I found here for them that they were much loved though so, I doubt it. But a little dirt would make it interesting ;)  Thanks for the links!!!!

Yes...those other two posts, on other boards, were me as well...a couple years ago.  At least I have confirmed some of it since, just hoping to find more. But the attached Obit helped a lot!

Thank You Tara,

I have looked at Griffiths, found what you did, before I found the Obits that confirmed my work.

Would you know if there are local church records there [they were Catholic] prior to the registration?

And an opinion question for anyone....

The clearly made it through the Famine...and then decided to leave circa 1865. That to me seems odd...was something else going on in that time frame??   I wondered if there was a sale of the land they were on...to do that move with 4 small children and my GG Grandfather as an infant seems unusual.

Thank you....Laurie

in the mid 1860's my COGGINS family left Ireland for the US - Thomas and Ellen [Finnerty] Coggins brought many children [and very young!] and Thomas' mother Mary [FEENEY] Coggins.

I have found my GG Grandfather's birth registration - Timothy Coggins in 1864. And I believe Ellen's mothers death- Nellie [BOLAND] Finnerty also in 1864.  Timothy was born in Carrownpadeen, Easky, Dromore West, Co Sligo.

Via obit here in Massachusetts - Mary [Feeney] Coggins was born in Finod, 1787. She lived to be 96!!!

Wondering if I can find more -or deaths for Andrew Coggins - Mary's husband [and Thomas' father] who I would guess died prior to them emigrating?  And anything on Ellen [Finnerty] Coggins father - per he mother's death registration - Timothy [Thady] Finnerty???
