Hi
I am trying to find out information about the family of Patrick Heaney and Catherine McMahon of Ballyscullion.  I am descended from their daughter Isabella.  from looking in the census i wonder if she had brothers Patrick and Daniel.  Dqniel had a daughter Mary who married a Richard Scullion.

Any help or direction would be appreciated

Regards

I am trying to track down information on a gentleman named James Gartlan who I believe was initially from either Killanny or the area around Carrickmacross in Monaghan. 

He was born circa 1741 and died in 1837.  It is alleged that in his early working life that he was a tobacco smuggler in Louth known as Seamus of Drogheda.

Having made his money in the tobacco trade, he later either, set up, or may have extended a possible business of his father’s in malting, and eventually bought another distillery making this his main business.  He married Alice McEvoy before 1800, and bought a country house outside Carrickmacross.

Hi

I am looking for information about the family of Thomas Lawrence and Mary Ann Down of Glastonbury.

Mary Ann Down was the grand daughter of John Down who owned the Abbey in Glastonbury.

Thomas and Mary Ann married in Glastonbury in 1827.  They had two daughters Mary Ann in 1827 and Elizabeth  in 1829.  Then they seem to have left Glastonbury.

I am descended fro Mary Ann's sister Amelia.

Hi!
I am interested in any information with regard to the Rev. Ponsonby Gouldsbury, Vicar of Tullamore(1799 – 1830).  I am descended from His daughter whose name I believe was Catherine.

Ponsonby had a brother the Rev, John Henry Gouldsbury of Boyle, in Roscommon, who married Thomasine Meares,  and a sister Lucinda Gouldsbury, who married first William Croghan, and then Richard North  by whom she had two children.  Her daughter married John Armstrong of Louth, her son the parliamentarian John North married Letitia Foster.

I am descended from Ponsonby’s grandson Ponsonby Goldsbury McMahon, who emigrated to Australia, and married Bridget Egan a member of the Greene Family of Myanna from County Kildare.
 
If anyone knows where I could locate a copy of a book titled The Goldsborough Family written by LE or CE Gouldsbury published in 1868? I would be fascinated!

I have limited knowledge of this family, and any assistance or any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.
