This is my first foray into Northern Ireland.   Anyone recognize the Reid's in this neighborhood?   Any thoughts on how to proceed further?

Anne Reid, b.abt. 1832, Ireland, location unknown.

Known facts: 
*Parents – James Reid and Mary Shanahan.
*Sister – Mamie
*Lived adult life, and died, in Yonkers, NY
*Husband – Hugh Walsh

A hired researcher has discovered the following vital records, in County Derry.  Unfortunately, the records don’t include a mother’s name, so still unable to confirm.   But this is the closest the researcher has come in almost a year now – Anne with a father, James, and a possible sister, Mamie.

1) Address:  Cross, Cumber Lower, Co Derry, Presbyterian
Anne Reid, Father: James Reid
Date of Bapt: 23 Aug 1835

2) Address:  unknown, St Columb’s, Co Derry, Church of Ireland
Mary Anne (Mamie) Reid, Father: James Reid
Date of Bapt:  11 Jan 1829

Thanks.

According to the FamilySearch site, the following family lived in the Limerick/Tipperary area.

Parents:  James Neely (b.1827-1847, depending on record) and Margaret Crowe (b.abt 1847).

Their children were all born in Ireland, 1865+/- to 1875 +/-.
Children:  Mary, John, Johanna, James, Michael and Patrick.

John and James were born/christened in Emly while Johanna was in Grean.  The others were either generic Ireland or generic Tipperary.

First question:  would the marriage record, if one exists for James and Margaret, include the names of their parents?  I already have a James Neely, b.1845 in the HolyCross area of Tipperary. His parents were Richard Neely and Johanna Donovan.  I have the birth records for that entire famiiy. I'd love to be able to connect these two families together.    FamilySearch does not appear to have a marriage record for James and Margaret.

Their US records indicate an immigration date of 1883-1890 and in 1892, the entire family is in Watervliet, NY which is across the river from Troy, NY.   Troy history indicates a known link to EMLY.

Second Question:  I'd like to know more about any Nealy or Crowe families that lived in the Grean/Emly general area.   Particularly, if there was known immigration to New York in the late 1800s.  FamilySearch indicated a possible five family groups for a Margaret Crowe, b.abt 1847.

Thanks.

I have two Coughlin/Coughlan brothers who immigrated to Yonkers, New York, where they lived and died, two houses apart.      Immigration prior to the mid-1860s.      Would like to discover Irish county of birth.  Have not found any US VR which indicate County of Birth.

Brothers:
John, b.abt 1834, Ireland, county/town unknown
Daniel, b.abt 1839, Ireland, county/town unknown

Their Parents:  Daniel Coughlin and Julia (___).
Born in Ireland, county/town unknown.
Probably married prior to 1835, in Ireland, location unknown.

John died in Yonkers in 1904.   He married Mary (___) [born in Ireland] and their children (all born in Yonkers 1860-1877) were:  Julia, Daniel (A), Bridget, Ellen, Mary, Margaret, Catherine, Michael and Daniel (B).

Daniel died in Yonkers in 1906.  He married (1) Nora O'Brien [born in Ireland] who died prior to 1880.  Their children (born in NY 1867-1880) were: Julia, Ellen and Joseph.  He married (2) Bridget Haley, who outlived him.

Not sure if they were related, but there were several other Coughlin families in the same neighborhood.    Two with the given name of Cornelius and one called Martin.

Thanks for any help or direction you can provide.

My husband's Irish immigrant ancestors (15) all immigrated to the NYC area from 1850-1870.  Which means they were born in Ireland sometime between 1830-1850.  And their parents would have been born 1800-1830.  All dates approximate. 

For each immigrant, we have their parents names, from the death records.  But no townland or county on 13 of them.  Which makes the Irish searching tough.

I have all their info in NY. Only two death certificates and/or obituaries, included the county of birth.  And I have not found any immigration work that indicated county of birth.

Any suggested research methods I should follow or take to try and find these Irish ancestors in Ireland who were all born 1800-1850?   Other than just listing each family group in the Ireland-General forum?

Thanks.
