Edgars in Co Monaghan
« on: Monday 26 March 07 22:10 BST (UK) »
Hi.

I'm looking for any info on my granny's family or any living Edgar relatives.

My gran's name was Jane Edgar. She was born in the 1890's (I think) the turn of the last century and died in Newtownhamilton, Co Armagh, in 1976 and her married name was Jane Mullen. She lived near Castleblayney, Co Monaghan for most of her life. She had a brother called Samuel who (again, I think) became a quaker and was also an Orangeman in either Monaghan/Armagh. I'm not sure if he married or had any children or if there are any other siblings. I have a feeling the family may have originally been of Scottish descent.

I can't seem to find any info about them and have signed on to Ancestry and the Genealogy websites. Hopefully someone on this website might be able to help me with this. Cheers.
Wexford (Monamolin, Kilmuckridge, Mounthoward): Burke, Kinsella, Swords, Murphy, Sinnott, (Ballygarrett): Ivory, Byrne, Redmond.

Roscommon: Mullen, 
Monaghan: Edgar, McGowan

Hi Marion,

I'd a look at the Ulster Covenant. It was signed by ...

Samuel Edgar, Churchill,  Monaghan: South in the Castleblayney district.

John, Martha and Nancy Edgar also came from the Churchill area.
