It would really help if you could give us an idea of dates and any other information you already have (for example, are any of these people related to each other and where have you already searched for them).

Well here goes,

We beleive that our McGoohans are from Ballinamore.  We know that some of them came to Scotland about 1850. The reason that I posted it is the family names are the same as some of the ones that we have.  I do not know if these people are related, but have been looking for 2 years now, so guess it is worth a post. McGoohan is fairly unusual name, (well it is here in Scotland) so I was hoping that someone may recognise it.
This was some info that someone kindly gave me, so I posted it and hopefully someone may know.  I had a look at the 1901 census and some of the names are there. 

Kind regards
Lynda

Still not sure of dates for any of these names. The ones you found in 1901 census should have ages to give you a rough idea. 1911 census will hopefully be online sometime next year and that might help you.

To see if any McGoohans, or similar surname, where there in 1850s check Griffith's Valuation (place search):

Also try checking LDS site (it is fairly good about bringing up results with alternative spellings):
www.familysearch.org

Above spelled Macgoohan

Below spelled McGoohan - although the spelling at that time was pretty irrelevant

George 40 farmer, Maria 38, Pat 16, Mary Kate 14, Bridget 12, Rose Anne 11, Charles 3, George 1,

John 50 farmer, Bridget 42, John 19, Hugh 17, Mary 9

Ellen 60 widow farm servant

One of these (or all?) is the family of actor Patrick McGoohan.  Lizzie Conlon above is my great aunt and she and her sister always maintained  some relationship existed between them and Pat McGoohan.

And if you followed AD's advice and tried Ask Ireland you should have lots to work on.

Hi Lynda,

I too am looking for a McGoohan ( think!)  I say I think because I couldn't really decipher the name on the marriage certificate of my great grandfather.  However, it looks as though it might be Mcgoohan.  I'm looking for Julia Mcgoohan who married William Smith probably in County Cavan and moved to County Leitrim.  My great grandfather was born around 1850.  Do you think we could be looking for the same people?

Cheers

Hi again Lynda,

I recently travelled to Ireland to see if I could trace my ancestors.  The leitrim Genealogy Centre turned this info up for me.  My Great, great grandfather, Peter Smyth to Judith Magoohan on 4 November 1847 in Outeragh Roman Catholic parish. I think this is my Peter Smith and Judith becme Julia McGoohan.  Do you think there is any link with your McGoohans?

Cheers

Sharyn
