Toolan family

[poppy234]

Searching for information on Toolan families in Roscommon around the 1830's. My grandmother was born Bridget Toolan in 1834 but I have absolutely no idea where in Roscommon that she was born or who her parents were. It's possible that my grandfather came from Drumshanbo.
 Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat Poppy 234 

To really be able to help we need a bit more information.

What was Bridget's married name?
who did she marry, when & where?
When did she die and where?

What were the names of her children in birth order (the Irish had a traditional naming pattern) and if Bridget and her husband followed it it may give clues as to the names of her parents.

have you tracked any siblings of Bridget?

This is a good resource for BDM
https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/

Early births will need looking at the Parish registers (some more legible than others)!

https://registers.nli.ie/

before doing this research on the registers we need to establish where Bridget was born.

On Griffiths Valuation 1858 for Co Roscommon there are these locations
Boyle, Kilglass & Elphin
and these names
Laurence, Francis, Patrick, Owen, Edward, Daniel TOOLAN. 

Were any of Bridget's children named by any of the names above?

Hello,
Grandmother Toolan - County Roscommon - somewhere
Grandfather? - possibly Drumshanbo, Leitrim

Was Toolan Bridget’s birth name? Sorry, I see you have said that.
Do you have any marriage details?

Indexes (Ancestry) to Catholic baptisms which may be on this site https://registers.nli.ie/ show none in 1834 but some  1836/38/40.

Birth Name: Bridget Toolan
Born circa 1834-137
Somewhere in Roscommon

She married in Newcastle, England on 13-9-1865 - to - Martin McManus
who was also from Roscommon (I'm waiting on their marriage certificate
which will be posted in and around two weeks time.

I believe that Bridget died in 1914 in West Hartlepool, County Durham.

There is this post on the family from a couple of years ago www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=832817.0

Hello.
Bridget Toolan married Martin McManus on 13-9-1865 in Newcastle England and
eventually moved down to West Hartlepool, County Durham.
(I should have said that these would be my great grandparents and I think Martin's father was
Domnick McManus. Not a spelling mistake on his name on my part.)


They both came from Roscommon and it's possible Bridget came from Kilronan and Martin from Drumshanbo.

I think Bridget died in 1914 in West Hartlepool.

My grandfather Martin (Named after his father) was born 1878 in Sunderland, moved to W/Hartlepiool
and settled in South Bank, Middlesbrough. NRY.
Any help at all would be a blessing as I'm not very good at this. So thank you in advance.
