I wonder if someone can help me decipher the name of the place in the last paragraph on page 2 of this Will.

http://applications.proni.gov.uk/dcal_proni_willscalendar/WillsSearch.aspx

The persons name who left the Will is HENRY CAULFIELD.

It looks to me like it says,

"I give ?devise and bequeath all that portion of the townland of GALAN in the county TYRONE which I purchased in the *** Landed Estates Court "

But I am not sure about the GALAN part as it is a long way from Monaghan where the person lived.

Thank you in advance for any help.

HI,

My ROCHE family are from FEAGH nr. TUAM.

My grandad married ELLEN WILLIAMS from FEAGH.

My grandads brother MARTIN, looks to have married a MARY KELLY from FEAGH - I got that from the census return where MARY has a son MARTIN ROCHE, but the father is not there during the census.

I found matching marriage records for the couple although the year is different by 1 year - I think this is an error in transcription

My g-grandfather married KATE QUINN and it looks as though they lived at BALLYNAKILLA, BALLYGLUNIN for a number of years before moving back to FEAGH.

I have managed to track my grandfathers other 3 siblings who went to New York.
-------------------------

However, in the 1901 census there was a KATE ROCHE living in FEAGH who was a widow with 6 children.

She is the one I am trying to identify, and find out who her husband was.

One of her daughters DELIA emigrated to New York in 1915, aged 22 - the record shows she was born in FEAGH.

But I can't find a birth record for her.

I can't find a marriage record for her mother c.1885 in TUAM, so I guess she was from somewhere else.

There is a birth record for a DELIA ROCHE who is my grand-aunt, she emigrated to NEW YORK in 1909.

All very confusing.
