Donegal / Curristan (Corristan)

« on: Thursday 11 October 12 21:38 BST (UK) »

I am trying to find out some information about a family of Curristan who lived in Cormullion/Moyne region of Donegal. I know Edward Curristan married Katherin Mullin (dau of Owen Mullin). Edward's daughter Sarah(Sally) married a Michael McGrath of Ballykillown, Laghey and their son, John married Sarah Gillespie.
Have found out that the family of Curristan's originally came from Leitrim abt. 1790's.
Would be delighted to hear from anyone with information.

Wexford / Deane/Kinsella

« on: Sunday 08 July 12 17:46 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I am trying to find out information about a woman called Mary Jane Deane. Not sure of her date of birth possibly 1903/1904. Her mother, Elizabeth, was unmarried when Mary Jane was born. (I was told that Mary Jane's mother later married a man with surname Toban). Elizabeth could have worked at Longraigue House. Mary Jane married James Kinsella in 1926 in Taghmon, Co. Wexford. I have found some information on James' family who lived in Tincurra, Aughwilliam Co. Wexford (according to 1911 Census). James' mother was Lizzie Cardiff & father Patrick Kinsella. Lizzie had a son John Cardiff. Patrick Kinsella & Lizzie were married in Wexford Workhouse in 1902

According to marriage certificate, it gives Mary Jane's address as Coolcull, Taghmon but this could have been place of employment at the time. Mary Jane's mother, Elizabeth Toban, died in February 1957. Mary Jane died November 1973

Records have been checked at Taghmon and Clongeen parishes but no record of birth for Mary Jane Deane. It is quite possible she only went by this name?? Although her marriage certificate gives her surname as Deane.
