mcintees from county cavan

[francois]

Here are some of the details of my McIntees. If anyone can put me in the direction of a townland, I'd be eternally grateful!The earliest I have is my ggg grandparents -

Philip McIntee = Rose Reilly
b 1780s Cavan

Daniel McIntee = Ann Murray
b 1806? Cavan    b1816? Cavan
d Glasgow 1871 princes st  - east end
Sibling: Rose ann McIntee b 1820 = Owen Mc Ginn (Cavan)

Patrick McIntee = Catherine Kelly
b 1834 Cavan       b 1834 Cavan Maghera
d 1877 glasgow
siblings: Roseanne b 1835 cavan/Ann b1838 cavan/ MAry b ? cavan/ Michael b?

They were all in Glasgow round about 1840. I suppose the Great Hunger brought them over.

 I have more but I just can't make any headway on townland of origin. So, I'd love some help!

Hello Frank,

What denomination were your McIntee ancestors? Were they members of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland), Methodists or possibly Presbyterians?

You'll have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

Thank you very much Cristopher for your advice. You're right I'll have to go to the Church registers for any info on my McIntees (who were Catholics) born or married before 1864. That's going to be a long haul! I shall persevere!!

I suspect you know this, but you also need to open up your search beyond McIntee.  I know that my GGGrandmother from Garrymore in Ballintemple was a McIntyre, sometimes written McInteer.

Good luck!

Think McIntyre/McInteer might be a separate surname but McIntee can also be written as McEntee so spelling variations could be a problem.

Just a thought - on researching my McDermott ancestry I eventually found my Gt.Grandfather with the surname of Dermot, leaving off the Mc.  He married a Bridget Geenty(Ginty) perhaps also leaving off the Mc which would make the name McGeenty, McEnty(McInty, McEntee).  This 'Geenty' family were in the Knockbride/Bailieboro area.

Worth looking into.

Hi i have a possible mcintee in my tree but i think it evolved in to mcinteer,My ancestor Thomas Mcinteer b.c 1828 is listed on a census as thomas mcintee.Is it possible that letters were dropped or added?

On reading the message re Rose Mcintee I cant help wondering if it is the same Rose that was a witness at my GGrandparents wedding in 1840.

My GGrandmother was Bridget McGinty/Geenty/Ginty married Edward Dermott/McDermott.  On the copy I have of baptisimal records throughout the 1840's - 1850's  there is an entry which states that a child's sponsers to Ned (short for Edward) Dermott and Bridie (short for Bridget) Ginty/Geenty , was a Rose Ginty/Geenty/McGinty.  In both cases the Mc I believe have been dropped.  Further entries for other baptisms of Ned and Bridie were Mary Ginty and Ally Ginty.

There were two other entries on the Griffiths valuation and the Tithe Applotment Books with the name Ginty/Geenty (Michael Geenty and John Geenty).

All of the above mentioned people lived on a townland called Kilmacaran in County Cavan.  Further,  I have visited the area and met descendents of the Ginty family. I've learned since that visit that Mr Ginty was in the process of changing his name back to his original spelling, but unfortunately I have been unable to discover what that original name was after a number of attempts.

Sorry I don't have enough info to make a comment on your mail. My McIntee name has not changed at all in the last 170 years. If I had a townland I could make a link with yours but so far I have nothing. Perhaps it will turn up one day.
