The Farm Tyrrelspass

[Anthony Daly]

I am seeking any  information on the Daly family from Kilbbeggan, in  County Westmeath.
My grandfather possibly James Daly was a land owner and there is a James Daly   listed in Griffins Valuation  and also a James Daly listed under Irish flax growers in 1796.

When I visited Ireland in 1992 I stopped by the now nerarly derelict farm which at that time was being used by a local fishing club..

Does anyone have information      If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Many thanks,    Anthony Daly

Hello,  I am trying to locate some relatives whom I believe originated from Tyrrells Pass,  would you be kind enough to give me the address you contacted for your enquiry as I would like to submit a similar one for  surname Johnston.
Thanks

Hi J,

 just to be going on with:

on http://www.failteromhat.com/
click on
Griffiths Valuation of Ireland Index Extracts 1848-1864

enter Johnston in Enter full or partial Surname: 
click on Westmeath in Choose county/province

and click on search.

This turns up a Fineas Johnston from Tyrrelispass, Ballykilmore Village in the parish of Newtown in Westmeath


One of yours

Thank you Bob,

Yes probably Fineas was one of us, but  my grt.grt.grandfather was a William born (I assume about 1790) Sure it must be a relative but maybe a brother?

My grt.grandfather was Robert Hardcastle Johnston (says on his tombstone born 1821 Newtown, Co. Westmeath) I cannot find any trace of him in this area.  The only thing I have found is a Benjamin Hardcastle Johnston  who emigrated to Ontario Canada in about 1850, this I am sure is a relative as I have established they came from Westmeath.  So frustrating I cannot find the actual place of birth I am wondering if the parish records would help.
Thanks for your help, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
J

Hi Anthony,

Welcome to RootsChat 

two long shots here:

Official Authorities, County WESTMEATH 1834
http://www.from-ireland.net/auths/west/west1834.htm
mentions three DALYs
(2 magistrates, Joseph Morgan and Owen D. and a Captain C. Daly) but very little information, otherwise.

and in Dec. 2003 there was a query on the Rootsweb Westmeath list about Mulingar residents, in particular an Anne DALY who married James LEE.

Does that fit in with any other details you have

Please are there any Daly's living in KIlbeggan?

I live near Tyrrelspass if you needed any information confirmed from gravestones etc it would be no problem to visit.

Dear Sarah,

Thanks for offer.  I have discovered that most of my relatives are buried in Relic cemetery in Kilbeggan and also in Durrow Cemetery .

I have traced my grandfather Martin J Daly b 1876  gg grandfather Joseph Daly b1838 and ggg grandfather  Thomas Daly b 1792 . 

 Initially I saw on an old map , townland survey  1838 that there was Daly's land  near Tyrellspass   also Cornacher where later the Daly's had a small farm.     Is it possible  that if you can search for any Daly's buried when you next visit  I am sorry I have no names but would be interested in brothers and sisters.

Look out for either "Cornacher"  or "Kilchloghan" which is  on all of their birth or death certificates.

Thank you again

Anthony Daly
