Boles Family in Manorhamilton
« on: Saturday 12 March 11 22:27 GMT (UK) »
My wife and I will be visiting Leitrim in April 2011.  My grandfather(John Boles) and his family were from this area.  I have his Irish birth certificate. Where do I start to find where he lived-the house or any relations ??? Thank you  Jim B

Well I presume you know their religion.

Is there an address/townland on cert?

Any g/uncles or aunts?? You know his father's name so is he here on census??....

The reason I ask about townlands/address is that Manorhamilton could be where the birth was registered but they may have lived 10 miles away. Do you recognize any of the townlands (in 3rd column) in census on the cert cert?? You also should have father's occupation...

If, for example, they were Methodist then that would cut down on which church to look for etc..

You have plenty of details on the cert if you don't overlook them!!

Church website with email address;  http://www.drumlease-killargue.com/

You could email them about records, graves etc.

I've unlocked the original thread and merged it with your second one to avoid duplication and confusion.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Jim,
It appears this is your family in Gortnacorkoge in both census,1901+ 1911.
There are a number  of families of the same name in various townlands around the village of Drumkeerin & others a little further out in Killargue.
The family was mostly Methodist or Church of Ireland religion,but those in Gortnacorkoge & a couple of others were Roman Catholic.

On checking the Irish Telephone Directory,there is no one of the name now listed in the  area.
There are some listed in the neighbouring counties of Roscommon & Sligo.

There is a Genealogy Site which covers that area & all of North Leitrim.It is Drumkeerinfolk@yahoogroups.com.
It is f.o.c. only requisite is that your ancestors come from this area.
Need to apply to join.
There are about 8 messages relating to Boles Family on the site,giving family genealogy,relationships to others etc.
Once you join they can be viewed.
Think you would be very interested.
Let me know if you have difficulty in accessing them.
Not sure if can be forwarded,could try if I had your email address
                                            Maura.
I am sorry but my email address is not working
