deegan westmeath

[cyril walsh]

i am looking for info on an anne deegan born 1863 and married a thomas adamson from moate.
thomas was a shoemaker, they are on the 1901 census but not on the 1911 census.
thomas seems to have had a few brothers also shoemakers, none of these are in the 1911 census either. were they omitted or did they emigrate.
any help in solving this puzzle would be really appreciated.

Hello Cyril (slightly off topic) - My ggrandfather was Joseph Adamson a shoemaker from Moate, Westmeath so there is likely a connection. I'm fairly new to genealogy but I'd be happy to share my information with you. I'm new to this site as well so still finding my way around - Kevin

hello again kevin
i was on Genes Reunited for a while, but to be honest i didnt think a whole lot of it.
i think this is a great site, i found more cousins on this site than any where else.
have you met any of the adamsons from moate, it seems there are two seperate adamson familys.
i am living in kildare but i was born in mayo near ballinrobe.
francis adamsons parents were thomas and anne nee deegan.
looking forward to hearing from you soon
best wishes

hello jack
thank you so much for your reply, that thomas would be francis adamsons first cousin.
i think the adamsons were omitted from the 1911 census as i cannot find any of them .
6 or 7 families all missing, any idea how i could find out why they are missing.
best wishes

hello again jack.
your amine of information, some of these are definitely my relatives.
one thing i have noticed about the adamson men is they all seemed to be shoe makers.
the one i really would love to find is my granddad francis adamson.
born 1898 in moategranoge, i know very little about him.
i know he was in the irish army he left it in 1926, married my grandmother anne nolan in 1924.
and thats about it, any info that you could find i would relly appreciate it.
thank you very much for your kind help, i really appreciate it.
best wishes as always

This is totally off looking for Francis - but it shows Adamsons were in Moate a long time back and lead interesting lives!

A reward for the arrest of William Kennedy of Birr
Faulkners Dublin Journal 5th January 1754
On the 16th Nov. last Wm. Kennedy son of Widow Kennedy, Birr with about 10 men, broke open the house of Wm. Adamson, Balnalack, near Moate, Co. Westmeath, in the dead time of the night, with intent to carry away forcibly, Mrs. Anne Barlow, whoever secures said Wm. Kennedy, so that he be brought to justice shall receive 15 guinea reward from the said Mrs. Barlow.

At the other end of things, they are still Adamsons in Moate:http://www.rip.ie/death_notices_detail.asp?NoticeID=115097

Of course all of thse may not be relevant- seem to relate to a wealthy C  of I family, but I have come accross situations where a younger son marries an RC wife,and gradually changes into trade - and it is not a frequent name. Pm
