Pagets of Knockglass (Mayo) and Kinard (Sligo)

[Marcella Paget]

Hi,
I'd appreciate any help with my Paget relations of Knockglass, Crossmolina who were certainly C of I. My gg grandfather was James Paget of Kinard Lodge near Enniscrone who died there in 1872 aged 69. I have his death certificate. Who were his parents though? I believe Kinard was purchased in 1810 by a "James Paget of Knockglass, Crossmolina". Was that the father of our James (who'd have been aged only 7 in 1810!)? Was our James the brother or the cousin of his near contemporary Thomas Paget of Knockglass? I know that Thomas had a son who was later "Captain James Paget of Knockglass". I find many references on the web and in gazeteers etc. to both James and Thomas between 1825 and 1875, but the precise relationships are very difficult to tease out. I was hoping the local COI church records might help. I suppose it's hoping for too much for an 1803 baptism record though.
I'd even be happy to find someone else who's interested in this family.

I think this is great! However if anyone is at St. Mary's COI Church, Crossmolina and can let me know all the exact wording on the pinkish granite headstone for James Paget, Thomas Cecil and Jane Caroline Paget, I'd be very grateful. It's hard to read from the photo, but is well engraved and looks as though if you were there you could run your fingers over it to help pick out the words. If not for this project, I wouldn't have even known it was there. Thanks again.

Hello and welcome to Rootschat 

I can (I am fairly sure) see that James was in the Connaught Rangers.

Looking at your other post http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,225798.160.html you are already aware of him being Captain Paget and therefore have this information.

There is a marriage announcement for James Paget in 1857 to Jane Caroline Knox. His father named as Thomas.
Paget marriage

Hi Marcella,
There are some Paget graves in St Mary's Church (C of I) in Crossmolina.  They are listed on the GoldenLangan.com web site at
http://goldenlangan.com/graves-sy.html .
Not sure if these are of your family, but good luck, David

Thanks oishiidesu, Yes I saw that topic and posted there too. Great idea. However the two Paget headstones there are for the younger generation and don't help answer my question about the parents of our James Paget who died in 1872 aged 69.

Thanks Heywood, I'm pretty sure that all three of those Pagets on the headstone and in the marriage announcement are from the generation later than the lot whose relationships have me mystified - Thomas P of Knockglass and his (younger) brother (or cousin?) James Paget, my gg grandfather, who died in 1872 aged 69.

Thanks Heywood again for sorting out the topic. In the hope that someone else might be interested in the Pagets of Mayo and Sligo, here's the link to my family history website:

Thanks Diski, I appreciate that - as you say, a bit sparse, but getting there. I think this family spent a bit of time in Dublin too, so might look into registers there.
