I look forward to the database going live and, hopefully, we may be able to take the Kildunne family history a little further back. I remember spending an hour or two in the old cemetery of Kilmacteige trying to spot Kildunne graves and wondering if they were connected to "our" Kildunnes.

Hi
I believe you are speaking of my great grandparents. Bridget and Patrick lived in Rochester ny on Fourth Ave/ st. My grandparents lived with them at first Margaret Gilligan and Albert Bowerman. My grandparents had 3 children- Francis( my dad- Corrine- and Margaret. Margaret was hit by a car when she was 5) Then When my grandmother died my aunt and uncle Leo and Corrine Bowerman moved into the house.. I am 62 and never knew my great grandfather but remember my great grandmother. She was small and I remember being about 5 when she took out her teeth and scared me. I wished I knew her better. I have been looking for many years to see where she was buried and I think I found her in Leroy Ny which is outside of Rochester Ny

Re: Tivnan / Weir Sligo Ire

DaveBoylan — 2013-05-12 15:28:28Z

Hello Jacqui,

I located the baptism index for a Winifred Tivnan at the Irish family History Foundation (IFHF) website for County Sligo. The index shows that Winifred was baptized in the Riverstown Catholic Church in 1825. Your records show she was born circa 1828, but the baptism year of 1825 is pretty close, and so this index may pertain to the Winifred Tivnan you are looking for.

IFHF baptism indexes do not automatically provide you with the names of the parents, and so the initial baptism index for Winifred looks like this:

1 match for the search criteria: Tivnan Winifred 1825 Parish: RIVERSTOWN (RC)

Record Type: Baptism/Birth Records for Co. Sligo
Surname: Tivnan
First Name: Winifred
Father's Surname:
Father's First Name:
Mother's Surname:
Mother's First Name:

Year: 1825

Parish/District: RIVERSTOWN (RC)
____

There are a few ways to learn the first names of the parents in a baptism index at the IFHF. One is through further research. Another is to submit first names to the IFHF search engine, to see if any one of the names is accepted by the search engine. A third option is to order the transcription of the baptism from the IFHF to find out the names of the parents, including the mother’s maiden name. I chose to submit first names to the search engine to see which of them would be accepted.

After a few tries the search engine accepted Thomas as Winifred’s father. Another few submissions and the search engine accepted Maria as Winifred’s mother.

The revised baptism index for Winifred Tivnan is below. You’ll notice in the index that Thomas’s surname of Tivnan is not present. This is because it is likely that the original baptism record for Winifred does include his surname, as it would have been understood that his surname, like Winifred’s, was also Tivnan:

1 match for the search criteria: Tivnan Winifred 1825 Parish: RIVERSTOWN (RC)

Record Type: Baptism/Birth Records for Co. Sligo
Surname: Tivnan
First Name: Winifred
Father's Surname:
Father's First Name: Thomas
Mother's Surname:
Mother's First Name: Maria

Year: 1825

Parish/District: RIVERSTOWN (RC)
____

The IFHF homepage can be found at: http://www.rootsireland.ie/

Before accessing indexes at the IFHF you’ll first have to register. Registration is free. You’ll also be able to access the baptism index for Winifred Tivnan that I did for free, but you will be charged to obtain a transcription of the baptism from the IFHF. You’ll have to purchase credits with a credit card to obtain the transcription. The IFHF website has more information about purchasing credits for baptism, as well as birth, marriage, and death or burial transcriptions at: http://www.rootsireland.ie/index.php?id=78

One big advantage of ordering records from the IFHF is that as soon as credit card information is processed, the record is sent to your computer, so that you don’t have to wait very long to view it.

Along with Winifred’s mother’s maiden name, the baptism transcription should include the exact date of the baptism, and the names of the sponsor or sponsors present at the baptism. The sponsors would be the godparents. The name of the parish priest who baptized Winifred may also be in the baptism index. I’m not sure if her baptism index will also include her father Thomas’s occupation.

Do you have any records that state that your Winifred Tivnan was a Roman Catholic?

I now wanted to see if I could uncover the maisden name of Winifred’s mother, Maria. This can be a hit or miss research strategy at best. But there are a few things that can be done in an attempt to find maiden names in baptism as well as marriage records. Your records as well as the baptism index above show the Tivnan’s had lived in Riverstown, County Sligo. The town of Riverstown was located in the Civil Parish of Kilmacallan.

Several other townlands were also situated within the Civil Parish of Kilmacallan. You can see a list of these townlands at the Irish Times website link at: http://tinyurl.com/cgmaqgp

If you scroll down the page you’ll also see that the Irish Times map shows where Kilmacallan was located in County Sligo. You’ll that Kilmacallan is highlighted in green at Map reference Number 24.

Next I accessed an Irish property tax record known as Griffiths Valuation. Griffiths Valuation was enumerated in the 32 counties of Ireland between 1847 and 1864. The valuation for Civil Parish of Kilmacallan was completed by the year 1858. This was 33 years after Winifred Tivnan was baptized, but I figured that someone with her mother’s maiden name could have been enumerated in Griffiths Valuation in one of the towns located in the Civil Parish of Kilmacallan.

Unlike a census, Griffiths Valuation did not enumerate family members. Those named in the valuation were the people who leased property. Each person who paid to lease the property was called an “Occupier.” The other person listed in Griffiths Valuation was the person who owned the property, or who worked as the middleman for the owner. This person was called the “Immediate Lessor.”

You can access Griffiths Valuation transcriptions and original copies for free at the askaboutireland website link at: http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml

I accessed Griffiths Valuation for the Civil Parish of Kilmacallan. I took surnames found in the various townlands in Griffiths Valuation, and submitted each to the IFHF search engine, to see which, if any, the search engine would accept. I eventually came to the name Francis Gaffney in the townland of Carrownagilty, Civil parish of Kilmacallan, located on Page 83. I submitted the surname Gaffney to the IFHF search engine for Maria’s maiden name, and the search engine accepted it.

Below is the revised baptism index for Winifred Tivan, showing that her parents were Thomas and Maria Gaffney Tivnan. This search was conducted under what the IFHF calls a “Standard Surname Index” search, which means that Gaffney in the baptism transcription, may be spelled a little differently than the way it is in the index below. This is indicated by the term (plus variants) you’ll see in the heading to the baptism index:

1 match for the search criteria: Tivnan (plus variants) Winifred 1825 Parish: RIVERSTOWN (RC)

Record Type: Baptism/Birth Records for Co. Sligo
Surname: Tivnan
First Name: Winifred
Father's Surname:
Father's First Name: Thomas
Mother's Surname: Gaffney
Mother's First Name: Maria

Year: 1825

Parish/District: RIVERSTOWN (RC)
____

Next I wanted to see if I could find the Riverstown marriage index for Thomas Tivnan and Maria Gaffney at the IFHF website for County Sligo. I didn’t know if Winifred was one of the first of their children to be born, or one of the last, and so I looked for their marriage index from 1810 to 1825, to cover several years. I found the index showing that Thomas Tivnan and Maria Gaffney were married in the Riverstown Catholic Church in 1814. The index is below:

1 match for the search criteria: Tivnan (plus variants) Thomas 1814 Parish: RIVERSTOWN (RC)

Spouse's First Name: Maria
Father's Surname:
Father's First Name:
Mother's Surname:
Mother's First Name:

Year: 1814

Parish/District: Parish: RIVERSTOWN (RC)
____

I then wanted to see how many children Thomas and Maria Gaffney Tivnan had before Winifred’s baptism in 1825, as well as see if they had any children after Winifred. I located six more children, all baptized in the Riverstown Catholic Church. These children and their years of baptism are: Patrick (1815); Eugene (1817); Bridget (1820); Maria (1822); Catherina (1828); and Margaret (1830).

The baptism indexes of these children are below. I’ve also included the index for Winifred again so that you can see the full chronology of the Tivnan baptisms:

You information shows that Winifred Tivnan had married William Weir. I next looked for their marriage index at the IFHF website, and believe I found it. The index shows the couple were married in the Tawnagh, Riverstown, Church of Ireland in 1851. Winifred’s maiden name is spelled “Tivnin,” in an “Exact Match” surname search.

The IFHF search engine accepted Lancelot as the first name of William’s father. The index is below:

I had expected that Winifred would have been married in a Catholic Church, though I have seen many Irish marriage records where a person born Catholic had married into the Anglican Church of Ireland.

The above is a church marriage index, but I knew from previous experience with Irish Protestant marriages, that there would also be a civil marriage record for William and Winifred. Civil Registration began in Ireland in 1845 when the government began to record Protestant marriages. Civil Registration of births, marriages, and deaths for all religious denominations didn’t commence in Ireland until 1864.

I didn’t find a civil marriage index for William and Winifred at the IFHF website, though I did locate their marriage index at the Latter Day Saints (LDS) website at: https://familysearch.org/search

The index shows that the marriage of William Weir and “Winnifred Twenan” was recorded in Killmacallen, Sligo, on 14 March 1851. The index further shows that William’s father was Lancelot and Winifred’s father was Thomas. If you recall, the town of Riverstown was located in the Civil Parish of Kilmacallan:

The civil marriage record for William and Winifred can be found in LDS microfilm number 101331. You can order this film from your nearest Family History Center. If you do not wish to order the microfilm from the Family History Center, you can send for the marriage record from the General Register Office (GRO) in Roscommon Town, County Roscommon. For information about ordering civil birth, marriage, and death records, costs, and application forms, go to the GRO website at: www.groireland.ie/‎

Next I looked for the baptism indexes for any children of William and Winifred Weir at the IFHF website. I didn’t find any indexes in County Sligo, or other Irish counties.

At this point in the research I wanted to see if I could locate the baptism indexes for Thomas Tivnan, Maria Gaffney, and William Weir, son of Lancelot Weir. Before doing so however, I needed to see how far back in time the Riverstown Catholic Parish registers of baptism and marriage went. According to a book by Brian Mitchell called “A Guide To Irish Parish Registers,” the Riverstown Catholic Church registers begin in 1803, too late to have recorded the baptisms for Thomas Tivnan, Maria Gaffney, and William Weir, that is, if William had been born in the late 1700s.

On the chance he was born after 1802 I looked for the Riverstown Catholic Church baptism index for William Weir, son of Launcelot/Lancelot Weir at the IFHF website, but failed to locate it. I also looked for his baptism in other counties, but again without success.

I also looked for Thomas Tivnan and Lancelot Weir in Griffiths Valuation, but didn’t find them.

I did uncover one record however that may refer to Lancelot Weir. This record is called the Tithe Applotment Books, which is another land tax record, with the taxes going to the Church of Ireland to help support the poor. The Tithe Applotment Book indexes and copies of the original records can be accessed from the National Archives of Ireland website link at: http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/h...

The link above will also explain the Tithe Applotment Books in more detail.

The Tithe Applotment Books show that a Lancelot Weir had farmed property in the townland of Doonsheheen, Civil Parish of Ballysumaghan. The Tithe Applotment Book index for Lancelot Weir can be found at:
http://tinyurl.com/ch7k9cz

The index shows the Tithe Applotment Book record for Lancelot Weir is dated 1824. You can view a copy of the original record at: http://tinyurl.com/dxatnnt

CONCLUSION

Jacqui, I can’t be sure that all the indexes you see above pertain to the Tivnan and Weir ancestors you are looking for. But there is the possibility they do. Perhaps you will know if they do better than I, as I am not a descendant, nor had I been researching the Tivnan and Weir lines before reading your post to the Ancestry.com message board for County Sligo.

Best of Luck with your research,

Hi Kevin,
I think we have a direct connection however I think your info there is a little off. Hopefully you can still see this. John Phillips born 1806 married Aileen Gallagher, they had at least two children one was my line Edward b 1836 married Bridget, they had a son John b 1872 who married Bridget fleming. That was my great grandfather.

Your line was the brother of Edward called Michael b 1843 who married Mary Brehonyl, his son was Thomas Phillips b 1872 who married Anne Meehan who had a son John born 1896 who is your great grandfather. Hopefully you see this

My 2x great grandmother was Anne Dolphin from Kilglass, Sligo, Ireland. She married Patrick Tuffy. Her parents were Martin Dolphin (b. 1840) and Honora Tuffy. Martin's parents were Patrick Dolphin and Mary Hailly. I don't know if this helps, good luck.

Re: John McDaid (McDevitt)

fergus_dunleavy1 — 2013-05-06 07:37:09Z

roughly as follows - the original correct name in gaeilge(irish) is "mac daibheid" which when pronounced sounds in english like "mac devitt". the english invaders decreed that irish should be illegal in ireland so people with the name "mac daibheid" were forced to become "mcdaid" and thereafter transmorged into "mc devitt".

hope this helps.

Are you suggesting that you see a link between these Gilmartins and my Kilmartins that left Ireland in the late 1840's? I know the name is often interchangeable, but so far I haven't come up with any links that have been positive.

I do welcome any further assistance, and if anyone you're aware of that might be linked, or even willing to participate in dialogue regarding this potential is welcome to contact me directly.

Re: Parks (Parkes) Family, Ballymote, C. Sligo

elwynsoutter1 — 2013-04-24 17:05:59Z

There’s no Robert Park(e)s in the 1901 census, so presumably he died before that. You say he was alive in 1865. Ballymore is in Sligo civil registration district. There’s 3 deaths registered there between 1856 and 1901 which could be him. One b 1808 & died Jul – Sept 1879; one 1822 – 1867 and the 3rd b 1808 & died Jan – Mar 1884. You might consider ordering all 3 to see if one is the correct one. Location and occupation should help you decide.

You don’t say what denomination the Park family were? Have you searched the relevant parish records for Catherine’s baptism? The civil parish appears to be Emlaghfad. RC baptisms don’t start till 1856. You would need to check with the RCB library in Dublin if the family were Church of Ireland.

RSBarthelmess — 2013-04-23 12:44:31Z

I am looking for info on my 3x great grandmother Catherine Parks, born about 1842 in Ballymote. She married my 3x g.g.father David Hall in Llanwarne, Herefordshire on 5th Nov 1865. Her father is listed as Robert Parkes, occupation given as carpenter, and would appear to be alive at the time of his daughter's marriage. However i have so far been able to find records relating to Catherine's birth in Sligo or on the Parkes family in general though there may be a tentative connection to Parkes Castle, however this is so far unconfirmed. Any info would be appreciated.

You're welcome Jeannemarge,

There are 3 or 4 townlands in Co. Sligo called 'Springfield' - so its easy to get confused ! Glad to help out.

Re: Springfield mentioned in civil parish of Ballisodare

Tu2Tu — 2013-04-21 19:55:20Z

Springfield is on google maps just make sure its magnified out to the max and you should find it. On the approach road from Sligo to Ballysodare, just at the perimeter of the village, at the roundabout there is a road to the left. Continue on that road for less than 1km. This is the townland of Springfield.

Re: Springfield mentioned in civil parish of Ballisodare

jeannemarge — 2013-04-20 22:17:40Z

Hey, just did a little further research and I think I found the answer, but it is a puzzle anyway. It looks like Springfield is the Anglo name for Magheragillerneeve, which is in Drumcliff civil parish. The puzzling part is that it is so far away from Ballidrihid. That is the townland where John and Margaret were living when they had Bridget in 1869, Margaret in 1873 and Elizabeth in 1876, even though father's homeplace was in Springfield. I guess that means he was likely not the eldest brother because Michael Johnston was having babies about the same time frame in Springfield.

Springfield mentioned in civil parish of Ballisodare

jeannemarge — 2013-04-20 19:25:52Z

Hello,

Does anybody know this geographical reference within Ballisodare civil parish? I am doing some work for a descendant of JOHNSTONs in Corhawnagh and in transcribing baptisms and marriages from the parish registers, I have come across the placename of Springfield. I adore using Google Earth, but this place is not coming up on the map. To be accurate, this place was named as the residence of John Johnston in his marriage to Margaret Morrow, who was from Balladrihid, quite near Corhawnagh, the other side northeast of Ballisodare town.

Thanks,
Jeanne

Peggy, I noticed back in 2005 you were doing a query for O'Gara. My GGG grandfather and grandmother came from County Sligo in 1842, they were Patrick and Jane (Pigeon) O'Gara. Their origin was County Sligo near the town of Curteen. Patrick and Jane came to the US with two children, John and James. They landed in New Hampshire and lived there for a while until they moved to Lowell, Wisconsin, from there John O'Gara and his wife Margaret (Lowth) moved to Minnesota.
I was just looking for more info and if you had found the O'Gara's you were looking for and were mine related or the same?
Thanks

Hi, There are loads of Davey's still living in Drumiskabole/Ballysadare area. It's probably the most common name in the area. There are also some davey's that I know have done family tree's. If you send me a short summary of your davey line, I can try and find out some info for you! My email is moranolivia@yahoo.co.uk or at the least try and get you a contact.

Hi, I know that this message was posted in 2003 but I just thought that I would reply anyways. Ballysadare (aka Ballisadare) is 1 minute away from Drumiskabole (incorrectly spelt in voting register/census as Drumaskibole). It's right beside each other. Some people from Drumiskabole would say they reside in Ballisadare.

Joseph Patrick Connellan/Conlan/Conolon? Born in 1937?

sam_caro8 — 2013-04-04 22:36:06Z

Hi,

I am looking for a Joseph Patrick Connellan(Conlon) - I am sorry but I am not sure of the correct spelling. He was born around 1937 and was working in Dublin in 1963. I believe he was from Sligo and was a solicitor. He knew a Joan Goss from Sheffield. His first name was Joseph but he was known by his second name Patrick.
I was told that he was an only child and that he died in 1963 or 1964 in a car accident.
Does anyone know this person or family as I would like to contact them as I may be a relative.

Re: Robert Russell

dhodge173 — 2013-03-28 01:18:42Z

John Russell, son of Robert, is my greatgrandfather. My grandmother was never sure of what the cause of her grandfathers death was. John, along with his mother emigrated to Romeo, Michigan where Matties brother Stephen lived. He was indentured to a farmer in the area and ran away after a time and became a cabin boy in the timber camps of northern Michigan until he was able to buy a farm near Snover, MI in Lamotte Township, Sanilac County where he was a very successful farmer. We have a Russell reunion occassionally. Any further information you may have on the Sligo connection would be interesting as we are traveling to Ireland this summer, Doug

Re: Co. Sligo Landowners

zemecapa3 — 2013-03-20 09:59:53Z

Hi Nadine
John Moffett of Tonafortes in 1870 would have been son of John Moffett (1784-1859) and Mary Anne Armstrong (-1887). John Moffett snr leased this land to the Cogan brothers and there was some dispute over rent not paid. I suspect John Moffett Jnr inherited this land.
My information, although not concrete, is that John Moffett Jnr was an 'agricultural specialist' who emigrated to Australia and died a bachelor in Bymount, Queensland.
I'm not sure whether he had children.
Kind regards,
Jac
