Hi Mike,

 Do you have an interest in Peter McGrory? Is he one of your ancestors? If so I would like to discuss his life further with you.

Thanks,
Megan

Thank you for responding, unfortunately I can't take you up on your offer of converting them for me.

Somehow in trying to open then on various programs that I have on my computer. I have corrupted the disc. Now nothing happens.

So I will have to ask her to send it all to me again unfortunately! I don't think she knows how to convert them herself, as she is in her 80's. So I will probably get them the same way again.

If you dont mind I would like to take up your offer sometime in the next few weeks if that is okay. The files are very small and are all text files. Church records of Bap, Marr, and deaths.

Thank you,

Megan

Hi,

 Although I have very little to add to your search, I thought I would let you know that I also have a McQuillan in my family tree from Co. Monaghan.

Eleanor McQuillan born circa 1815 in Co. Monaghan

married a Charles Collins , they had 7 children, 1 of them being -

Bridget Collins b. 1856 in Crossnera, Keady, Armagh. Godparent of this Bridget Collins is a Hugh McQuillan.

They were Roman Catholic. If that helps.


Regards,
Megan

Hi Again Mickwally,

 Here is the information that I have uncovered for my McPoland side -

William McPolin/McPoland married a Catherine McMahon (no dates)

Children of William and Catherine -

*Mary McPoland - b. 18 Aug 1844 in Shanrod married Peter Farrell in Bainbridge RC

Mary McPoland and Peter Farrell had -

Catherine Teresa Farrell- b. 25 Mar 1880 in Shanrod married Francis O'Neill in Scotland (witness a Catherine's baptism was Patrick McPoland and Sarah Graham or Garvey)

Francis Joseph Farrell - b. 23 Mar 1882 in Glasgow, married and died in Scotland

William Charles Farrell -b. 7 Jan 1885 in Glasgow, married and died in Scotland


[/b]*Patrick McPoland[/b] - b. no dates    , married Sarah Garvey 1 Nov 1883 in Bainbridge RC

 Patrick and Sarah had -

William Peter b. 31 Jul 1886 in Tulliyish
Charles b. 21 May 1888 in Tullyish



[/b]*Catherine McPoland[/b] -b. no dates , married John Lavery, 24 Jun 1877 in Bainbridge RC

Catherine and John had -

Mary  - b. no date of birth, but a Mary Lavery was a witness to the marriage of her cousin in Scotland( child of Peter Farrell and Mary McPoland)

*William  McPoland- b. no dates,  and I haven't found a marriage for William yet

When Peter Farrell died and left Mary McPoland a widow she moved the family from Scotland back to Ireland to live with her brother William. (this information was on Mary McPoland Farrells poor law recordsin Scotland)

The only other information I have on the McPoland side is from family stories, it is said that one of Mary Farrells brothers owned a Pub/Saloon or something to that extent in Ireland and that she had invested in it also(maybe just helped out while she was living with her brother)

That is all I have uncovered so far on the McPoland side. William McPoland  and Catherine MCMahon could have had more children than the 4 that I have listed but I have'nt found them yet.

If any of this fits with your neighbors, please let me know.

Thank you,
Megan
