Monaghan / Re: Seeking information on Fin(n)egan and Kirley family, Lisdoonan

Thank you for your help, it started me finding 9 of the ten children of Patrick Finnegan and Alice Kirley - missing one, but seems to have died young. I have also found some of their marriages, so you've really helped me tease this out. I'll have a start at the Ward family as I go along, however the headstone doesn't yield a lot of information (yet).

Oh thank you, I appreciate that. As I'm not entirely familiar with the area (though I noticed Beagh and Monalia are quite close, and in that era many people married locally), and there are SO MANY Finnegans.....I got stumped. At the minute I'm at the pen and sheet of paper stage ruling people in and out. As far as I remember the headstone is a family memorial, not individual names. Thanks again.

Monaghan / Seeking information on Fin(n)egan and Kirley family, Lisdoonan

Seeking information (and appreciate your help) on the Finnegan and Ward connections round Lisdoonan. On the Finnegan side, Patrick Finnegan, Monalia, married Alice Kirley, Beagh??, on 31st July 1886. Witnesses (as far as I can read) were Owen Kirley and Catherine Ward. Patrick's father was Peter Finnegan, farmer, and Alice's father was Thomas Kirley, farmer. They had at least one son John, born on 10th June 1902, but possibly more family that I haven't yet found. Some of the records from the time are very difficult to read (particularly the Raferagh ones). This John married Bridget Ward, Lisdoonan, on 18th August 1927. Their graves are in Lisdoonan, up behind the Church on the left. Can anyone help if these people are on your tree. Thanks so much.

James McCrindle was a gamekeeper for Lord Rossmore on his grouse shooting lands on Sliabh Beagh (there was a hunting lodge there). It appears that he was crossing a wire fence when his gun accidentally discharged, and he died as a result. He died on 11th June 1909 from shock/haemorrhage due to gunshot wound.

yes, thank you, I was unsure from reading the original birth certificate if it was Macbeth or MaeBeth as the middle name.

OK, thank you for your help, the death of James goes down through local lore. It looks like George the gamekeeper as the father may be the correct place to look. I took an interest in James as he worked locally in Ireland as a gamekeeper on a rural estate. I was interested in his death, and what became of his wife and child(ren), I have heard they returned to Scotland. He is buried locally at the mausoleum where he was employed, though the headstone has got badly damaged by fallen trees down the years, but is still legible. Thanks again.

Thank you for that, he’s a mystery man! Yes, you are correct about his location of Eshnaglough, and he died in a shooting accident when his child Ellen was 1 year old. Would love to know more about his roots and what became of his widow afterwards. He is buried in Ireland.

Information request (please) on the marriage of James Shaw McCrindle and Mary Elizabeth Johnson, I'm told in Ayrshire, Scotland. The only child I can see that they have is a daughter Ellen, born in Ireland in 1908, but I'm unsure if they had children prior to this. They lived in Ireland by then and was employed there. James died aged 38 in 1909, and I think the family returned to Scotland (have nothing definite on this) Thanks in advance.

Gosh, your time is effort is much appreciated, this story came down the generations, with no real evidence to support it, until now. Thank you all.
