Hello there,
I've been attempting to do some work on the Payne Family in the 3 parishes of Tashinny, Cashel and Killashee. My family in Longford started with:
Richard Payne, born 07 Oct 1823 in Killashee Parish to Abraham and Elizabeth (Ryder/Rider) Payne. Richard immigrated to Ontario in 1846. and his parents immigrated about 1849.
Richard Payne's father- Abraham Payne's stone says he was born in Nov 1781 and died on 02 Jan 1867 Eardley, Quebec, Canada. His wife Eliza's stone said she was born in Sep 1780 and died on Nov 1865 Eardley, Quebec, Canada. They were married on 29 Feb 1812 in Cashel, Abraham was of Tashinny and Eliza was of Cashel. Abraham's death record from the church says he was the son of George and Elizabeth Payne of Ireland. There is a document that says Abraham's nephew was John Ryder, and he was the s/o Alicia Ryder(Payne) who was from Killashee from her marriage record in 1815.
There is a George Payne in the Longford Newspaper reported as being in a mental ward in Dublin and died at the age of 94 in September 1850. This seems to be the George who is the father (but there is no proof regarding this). This would compute his birth date to be 1756, and he would be 25 when Abraham was born.
It looks like (based on the tithe books) that most of the Paynes were from Cashel or Killashee, and it looks like George (1756-1850) was the oldest relative of the family in Killashee. Is there a way to find relatives that could be his father (note- naming patterns don't line up at all in this family) - but I can't figure out a way to find someone and was hoping someone might know.
Thanks!
