We believe Anthony Nalty was born in Mayo - probably kilcommon pollatomish?
Have found records on 'family search' showing an Anthony Nalty born 1802 who dies in 1885.

We have also found records of an Anthony Nalty being the father of the children named below, but no mention of a mother's name, or maiden name!

He allegedly married someone called Ellen - can anyone clarify?

Plus, can anyone work out who his father and mother may have been?

We have heard a rumour that a Nalty first arrived in the area in the 1700's from Inishboffin,? on a mission to convert the mostly Catholic area to be Church of Ireland! Someone has suggested Anthony Nalty's ancestors may well have been something to do with Cromwell??!!

We'd also love to know if Anthony Nalty had any siblings?

We have reason to believe that he had children:
Mary b. 1828
Patrick b. 1830
Ellen b:1836
Anthony: b: 1842
Mark b:1849

I am an enthusiastic novice at all this so please forgive any blatent errors in my research!
Many thanks as always for your help, support and understanding,

Hello,

Thank you for your responses.

William Beatty would have been Ida Sinclair's step dad. Apparently he remarried after his wife died - no dates, but sometime after 1876, which was When MAry Jane Beatty, his daughter, was born..

We do not know the name of the step Mum - Ida's Mum. My Gt Gran apparently never spoke of her, only to say she despised her!

She allegedly went to Australia, possibley from the UK, rather than Ireland?

She possibley lived in Sydney, which it seems is where my great Uncle may have settled.

She, as far as we know kept the name Sinclair.

She is probably several spellings of Ida/ Aida, Ada Sinclair/Stclair.

We assume that she was born in Cavan, Ireland, but seems to be no record of her.
I wsh I could give you more informatiobn.
Thanks for all your help.
Much appreciated

Greetings from the Uk.

My Gt Uncle Stephen, emigrated to Australia in the 1920'a or so we think?

He allegedly joined the Australian military - we are pretty sure it was the Air Force, but we could be wrong...

He fought in WW2 and sustained injuries; including a metal plate in his skull!

We believe he married, but had no children.

Not even sure which part of Australia he lived in.

Can any one help?

Trying to sort the family tree out for my Mum's 80th birthday!

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

Looking for help in tracing a Cornelius Macgerty aka Con Macgerty (could be spelt McGerty too!)

Born 1878/79, in Ballyconnell Co Cavan

Left Co Cavan, Ireland aged about 19 circa 1899/1900.

Married an Eliza/ Elizabeth Johnstone in Ca Cavan Ireland shortly before the emigrated to Lacashire.

Apparently had lots of children, possibly one called Cornelius too?

New leads on him being in the Barrow/Dalton in furness area working as a shipbuilder?

Anyone able to help?

He is hopefully my dear old 80 year old Dad's long lost Uncle! My Gt Grandad (his brother) never heard from him again and we'd love to know what happened to him, and his family.


Any information or clues gratefuly apreciated: births, deaths marriages etc...


Thank you for reading this .

Best wishes, Lilli McGerty

Hi Trying to trace my family tree and hopefully find relatives.

The Pat Nalty I am after had parents called Stephen and Bridget.
Originally from Kilcommon Mayo, and born around 1907.

HE left Kilcommon Mayo around 1914/1915, and moved to salthill galway, where he was allegedly a Policeman. He married and we believe he had twin sons circa 1925-1930.

Trying to trace any living family members who would be distant cousins of mine.

Can anyone help?

Best Wishes, Lilli
