Thanks a lot for your time. I drove down to Strokestown last week and paid for the search after finding my ancestors marriage there. Just thought I could look around other sites. Thanks again!

Roscommon / Roscommon location

Hi everyone

can anyone tell me  where is /was Groghan or Graghan, is it a parish, a district etc and what RC records dates are available for all Co Roscommon. Thank you in advance.

I'm Involved in a general search for Cunningham and Roan (Ruane, etc) families in Co Roscommon I have some info like from 1846 (I have marriage Farrel Roan-Mary Cunningham Strokestown 1846). Trying to find a Sabina Cunningham may have  been Mary's Ma, older sister, aunt etc.

Does anyone know what RC parishes have the oldest records as Farrel/Mary may have only arrived there in Strokestown to get hitched and maybe from eleswhere ? They left Co Roscommon before Nov 1849  for Northumberland UK (If they are the same people). where their first child Winifred (to my knowledge) was born Nov 1849  They appear in UK 1851 census  Farrel Mary and Winifred aged 1 (born Nov 1849 in Northumberland uk).The kids in later census records in Northumberland UK where Winifred, Anne, catherine, Farrell, Bryan, Thomas,  Mary and Sabina, I think there may have been a child John who died not sure still hunting. Cheers if anyone can help. I am searching the net daily doing my best, paid for a few records one looks good for Mary 1826 mother Winifred dad Thady (Thadius I beleive?) in Boyle parish. thanks anyway!

Heywood,

Great first result from Co Roscommon concerning Roan, Cunningham research, paid fee and  research ongoing.  It was worth the trip down there. Most Mayo RC records are no good for 'An Gorta Mór' victim emigration, later on they are ok. How do I get onto a Roscommon topic page on this site. I am useless at this internet lark?

Thanks in advance!

Keith,

have you looked through uk census like below example, excuse me you most likely have, I am not so hot but just a thought, sometimes it states county not just Ireland for place of birth.

Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1813 Ireland
Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1838 Ireland   
Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1831 Ireland
Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1831 Clare, Ireland
Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1833 Ireland 

Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1837 Ireland  
Patrick Ryan Ann abt 1842 Ireland
Patrick Ryan Annie abt 1842 Tipperary, Ireland

James, I have came accross the surname Coleman many times on Mayo sites and in GV (Griffith Valuation 1856 Mayo) and in the Tithes (Established church C.O.I, kind of taxes that every denomination had to pay and the landowner and the local Vicar split the proceeds between them (according to Samuel Lewis's survey of Ireland anyway). Cheers

Hi Guys! Heywood, just arrived back from my Roscommon/Mayo trip , lot of driving I am wrecked! Can you help me please while in Ballina, I asked and was told Ruane is pronounced RooWan or RooWayne, cant remember as I was very drunk at the time, any help appreciated.  In the North it is just pronounced Rooan I paid for full searches so await results. Its been a while since I was there but what struck me while driving back (well sobered up of course 2 days later) was from Boyle Co Roscommon through Co Leitrim was lots of business's and bridges lanes etc with the surname TAYLOR. Seams to be common in that area wonder if it goes back to the Norman Le Tailuier's? Just a point of interest. It rained non stop as usual, but was great! By the way lots of places/townlands begining with Cor and some Cort in Roscommon/Leitrim, in records but no Corther! Cheers.

Heywood,

Just their names and wittnesses, but there must have been some lazy priests as they seldom put parents first names. I will check Mayo all the same as you can't get everything online. Records for baps in Srokestown start 1830, but hey their ages on census records are never right anyway, might just catch one, its 3 years out but its worth it. I 'll keep trying. Cheers!
