United States of America / Donohoe 1832 into Philadelphia
« on: Tuesday 19 February 19 18:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I've found a very interesting document showing an almost entire family related to me leaving Liverpool on the "gulnare" for Philadelphia in 1832. I've thought myself how to research Ireland but I'm a bit green on how to approach it from the US side.

On that boat was Edward Donohoe (father) his sons Thomas, David  and daughters alice, margaret and a fifth child whose 1st name is illegible.

So I'm looking for some direction on where to look next.

1- how do I find out if all passengers survived the trip
2- where they might have moved to.
3- marriages deaths etc

Thanks for your help.

Cavan / What happened to Snakeel in 1841
« on: Sunday 17 February 19 14:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all.

Lucky for me my family came from killeshandra, co cavan. The census of 1821 and 1841 exist for killeshandra. One thing puzzles me. The townland on Snakeel is listed in the 1821 census (under kilmore which is the diocese in which killeshandra is) however in 1841 Snakeel is missing from the census. Even today Snakeel exists, and a very picturesque place it is. Would anyone know what happened in 1841?

Ireland / Really Hard to Find Corcorans
« on: Friday 04 January 19 20:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've been doing my family tree for a while now and getting to the tricky parts. So I have a great grand mother called Maggie Jane Corcoran (corkin on some census & docs), born in Bailieboro in 1892. Her son Mick was my grandfather, born 1912 in Bailieboro. She had other sons Patrick, Stephen, Christopher and Vincent. She has no husband and had Mick and Stephen with no father name listed (irish genealogy and birth cert)

I cannot find where Maggie Jane ended up and no one in the family has any idea
I cannot find anything on Stephen - marriage or death or emigration except he was born in 1916 in Bailieboro workhouse
I found vincent who was born in 1922, never knew his mother and lived with a totally different family in Leitrim and is buried there.
I am told Christopher went to UK, possibly London, had some kids but I cannot find him either.

I really struggle with the UK side of things and I wouldnt be suprised if some or all of these people ended up there.

So my question is, any good hints on where to start given that I have exhausted efforts on Irish Genealogy website. Any help is much appreciated.
