Help!
After a while away from here I return with (another) request for assistance.
I was recently made aware of Mckeownstown in Antrim. Close to Rasharkin where my McGookin/ McGuigan lineage comes from. So this has me a wee bit intrigued.

The furthest back in my McKeown line is to Michael McKeown who married Elizabeth (Eliza) McCallum.
They had 4 Sons as far as I can see;
Michael (M:Mary Rice),
Henry (1817-1896, M: Catherine Connolly),
Bernard (1820-1857, M: Mary Boyle),
Patrick (1823 - 1860, M: Mary McGuigan)

I have the sons in Scotland. I have found various census records under McQuen, McQueen, McEwen etc. I even have a record of Eliza McCallum (McKeown) in Scotland.

My request is to see if anyone has any information relating to this family. I am trying to locate the home, or marriage certificate of Michael McKeown and Catherine McCallum. There seems to be no record of Michael in Scotland. I cannot locate a death record for either Michael or Catherine. Did they go back to Ireland?

I presume they come from around Rasharkin/ McKeownstown, but I also have a tenuous link to the area around Randalstown namely the Duneane area.

Any information, or pointers in the general direction will we gratefully received.

Thank you,

M.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to trace a family and came to a dead end so to speak. Can any US based guys help?

William J Mahoney Jnr (B:1893) married Sara (Jane) Gallacher (B:1891) in Boston, MA. March 1st 1916.
They had 3 kids.
Vincent 1916-1932
Eileen Mary 1918- Unknown
Patricia 1920-1920

My focus is on Eileen Mary Mahoney. She married John Igo Jr (9th Dec 1942), but from then on I cannot find any family.

Can anyone help?

Thank you. That's wonderfull information. I guess that's the end of that family line.

Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who has replied. Rosie has it spot on. This is the family IMO.

I have tried various spellings of Gallacher, Gallagher, Sara, Sarah, Sarah Jane etc. It doesnt helpw help when her mothers name is Trainor, Trainer, Traynor etc....

Nightmate.

Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for this again. Busy in work, and another few projects for friends etc. Will get around to looking into this soon.

Invaluable. Thank you.
