Thomas Nevin’s Ancestors

[Formernewyorker]

Thanks,

Family search found a Great Britain War Office Register, dated  December 9, 1813 for a Sheeran for a estimated birth record 1795 making him 18 born in Roscommon, making me think could be my great great grandfather’s record.

I too decided to read everything again and when I found a birth record for Jacobus or Jacobum Shruhan born September 8, 1840 with parents Jacobi Shruhan and Mariae Ward (parents Michaelis Ward and Mariae Egan), I got to think another brother for my great grandmother Ellen Shruhan.  I previously found a death record for James Shruhan (Ellen’s father) in 1864, everyone thought too young to be his children father but when I researched Mariae Ward she was born in 1806 in Roscommon and her death record Mary Shrihane was widow of a laborer from Rooskey. Record was Mary Shrihane March 20, 1883 death place Castlereagh Ireland. James Shruhan also died in Castlereagh. Not sure if these records are correct but previous threads mentions Egan in the family. Let me know what you think?

 wondering on information already found on my grandfather Thomas Nevin, it still bothers me that I can’t find out record of his birth, was he born in Roscommon. Know his father was a herder from information on Thomas’s siblings birth record and mother was Helena or Ellen Shruhan or Shruffin. Only know that my grandfather from the 1900 US Census that is birth was May, 1862. There must still be Nevin in Roscommon today that may be related or know something from their relatives.

You won't find a record of his birth because he was born 2 years before birth registrations began in 1864.
Aghadowey gave some reasons in reply 58 for lack of written records.
He was born in Roscommon, according to 1911 census. (Reply 24 by aghadowey)

Was it you who added a profile of Thomas Nevin 1862-1924 to the Ancestors section for Kilbride civil parish on Ireland Reaching Out website? It says he stayed in Ireland and didn't emigrate. Is that your Thomas Nevin? I suggest that you add more information, e.g. that he emigrated and returned, names of his wives & children + a link to his census return. You can also create profiles for his wives and children + basic profiles for his parents, either in the parish they were born or connected with, if known. I think you can put estimated birth years for the parents and say they are estimated.

Have you put an enquiry on the County Roscommon Irelandxo message board about your Nevin & Shruan people? If you do, either summarise relevant information already known or provide a link to this thread.

Another route is to seek out records for the property at Corbo after Thomas Nevin died and his children emigrated.

A note of caution. By 1813 the British army was the largest it had ever been, 250,000 men, engaged in a major European war. It had been fighting France for 20 years (+U.S.A. for a short time, War of 1812 which lasted 1812-1815). Irishmen made up a large proportion of recruits, after Catholics were legally allowed to join in the late 18th century. Therefore the British army included thousands of Irishmen.
You could ask on the military board to find out more about the Sheeran soldier.

A family tree for Thomas Nevin 1862-1924 on Family Search cited an English census return for Thomas Nevin in Windle, Lancashire in 1881.
 https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/9679-8R2
Is that census return for the same Thomas Nevin?  He was a boarder aged 19, born Ireland. Is there any corroborating evidence that he was the same man?

Did all surviving children emigrate after Thomas died?

I send message on Ireland Reaching out years ago but never made a profile for Thomas Nevin

My father Michael Nevin as well as all of his sisters and brothers from my grandfather Thomas Nevin’s both marriages lived their lives in the United States.

As far as my great grandfather Thomas Nevin, I know some of his children emigrated to the US. His wife Ellen Shruhan Nevin is buried in Derrane Cemetary Roscommon Ireland. No record of my great grandfather death.

As far as 1881 census not sure if it is accurate for Thomas Nevin as no record of his birth. First record I found was 1900 US census in him.

Someone has put him in Ancestors for Kilbride civil parish, Co. Roscommon. There's a comment box. You could add something.
