Sinclair family of Bansha and Kilmoyler

[wild13s]

Many thanks to all the replies received, I had located most of the information given above, also finding it very hard to  believe there were 18 children, think this might be a bit of an exaggeration. I have located 9, but most did not survive to be in the 1901 or 1911 census. Cannot work out where son Thomas Sinclair was in both census as he was born in 1870 and died in 1953.I agree there are only 3 and 2 Sinclairs respectively in the two census and they are the correct ones.
  Will contact the Church of Ireland to see if they can help  with locating the grave yard, if it does exist.  It was great to hear that the RC and Church of Ireland shared the church as that was a bit of a stumbling block as I was aware that the family were Church of Ireland and couldn't find that church on their website.
Again thank you for the help

Hi Anna, Isaac Sinclair and Thomas were brothers, Isaac was a farmer and Thomas was a shopkeeper, it seems. He is the one you located on the Griffiths Valuation, also it is his probate documents listing his daughter Margaret as his beneficiary.

Hi Dianne,
I am involved with Historicgraves.ie where we voluntarily digitize graveyards all over Ireland. I am from East Limerick but most of my interest is in West Tipperary. I am most interested in the parish Bansha where most of my ancestors came from. I am very familiar with Kilshane graveyard so i visited there this evening and this is the Sinclair inscription.

Sacred to the memory of
Thomas Sinclair of Tipperary
who died on the 7th Feb ry 1858
aged 60yrs
also his son Robert Sinclair
who died on the 15th May 1852
aged 27yrs


This headstone at least will take you back to 1798.
If you go into historicgraves.ie you will find a headstone in the Church of Ireland graveyard in Tulla, Co. Clare. There may or may not be a connection. If your coming over in October give me a shout and i'll show it to you. Any other help you want don't hesitate to ask. Hope this helps.
P.J.

HI PJ,
       Many thanks for the headstone information, it was very good of you to go and find it for us.  Am so looking forward to standing there and seeing it for my self.  As for the grave in Tulla, I haven't found, as yet, any Jannet Sinclair in the family, her birth would have been around 1780, her birth date would make her the age of Thomas' mother but we have no information about his parents at all. We only have a short time in Ireland at the end of our trip but will definitely email if time permits to go to this grave as well.

again thank you
Dianne
