Leitrim / Shanley Family of Mohill
« on: Wednesday 23 January 19 20:50 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to produce an 'Ancestor Chart' for my Grand Daughters.  I have my Wife's and my trees back to the late 1700's /early 1800's.  My Daughter in Law's Mothers tree back to the mid 1800's, but struggling with her Father's (deceased) family. Any help would be much appreciated.
I have gleamed most of my information from an autobiography of an 'Agnes Mary Shanley' (1929 / 2015) who's parents were Patrick Shanley (c1891 / 1960) and Agnes McGurren (McGurran) (c1894 / 1968) who married in Mohill in 1913.  Both are buried in Cloonmorris Catholic Graveyard, Mohill, Co. Leitrim, along with a Son Kevin Patrick (c1922 / 1934). Other children that I have are Christina (1925 / ?),  Ellen J. (c1932 / ?) and Kevin J. (c1935 / ?). I do not know if any are still living.
I have no parents for Patrick Shanley. The parents of Agnes McGurren I believe were Nicholas McGurren and Mary ? from Strokestown, Co. Roscommon.

I do not wish to produce a lopsided Ancestors Chart for my Grand Daughters, so any help to obtain information would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation of some news,

Listerdale.

1902 - Easter Road
1905, 1906 & 1911 - Eastbourne Place
These location are taken from' Scotlandspeople' Statutory Birth Records.
On my visit to Broxburn I was able to find the locations of these birth, but not the 1901 Census location.

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / The 'Jordan' Family - Uphall / Broxburn - Completed
« on: Sunday 16 September 12 21:54 BST (UK)  »
Can any one help please.  I am trying to trace family members who moved from Ireland in the 1880/90's and worked in the Shale Mines.

I have found my Grandfather (Anthony) and two of his brothers ( John and William) in the 1891 - 1901 Censuses living in Uphall. I am informed that another of his brothers Patrick also moved to the same area and worked in the area the whole of his life, but I cannot find him on the Censuses.

Anthony - 1901 Census shows him at Main Street, Uphall with his brother. He left Scotland in 1910 to visit his cousin in Canada, and then settle in Ireland.

John - 1891 census shows him at East End, Uphall, 1901 census at Main Street, Uphall with 3 children. Relatives tell me he stayed in the Broxburn area going into the Transport business before taking up Farming during WW1. He had 10 children and 2 sons still farm in the area.

William -  1891 census shows him at East End, Uphall. He had 5 children born in Uphall/Broxburn before moving to Alberta, Canada around 1913.

Any information would be much appreciated.

I am trying to locate my Grandfather in the 1901 & 1911 Census.

According to my Grandfather's marriage certificatedated January 1915. He was married at the Roman Catholic Church at Knockmore, in Ballina District. His address is shown as 'Ballysliva'.
In December 1915 there first child was born. Registration District was Ballina, and the place of birth is 'Bonnaghsliva'.  Registered by Grandmother from Knockmore.

I cannot find any reference to either 'Ballysliva' or 'Bonnaghsliva' on any map or Census records.

I have previously asked about 'Balysliva' without any luck.  Can anyone let me know were or what is 'Bonnaghsliva' and what was the meaning of 'Sliva' in the early 1900's

« on: Thursday 03 March 11 21:46 GMT (UK)  »
I have finally obtained a copy Birth Certificate for my Father and photocopies of entries for his siblings.

They all state that they were born in Castletown, in the Registrar's Distinct of Castleconor and the Superintendent Registrar's District of Dormore West.

Their Father, my Grandfather, was a Farmer.

I cannot find a town or village named 'Castletown' although I have found a mention of a 'Castletown House' on the internet.

Can anyone help and tell me were 'Castletown' is?
