I am researching my maternal grandparents family, the Coens. In 1985 a distant relative paid to have a search done in Ireland. The specific area was Dungarvan, where my great-great grandfather, Thomas M.? Coen lived.
The study was inconclusive, but mentioned that there were Coens in Galway, and Rothscommon, and that my g.g grandfather was possibly from Galway, b. 1820's.
This Thomas Coen was a constable, he joined the force on Dec. 2nd, 1839, this record gave his birthplace as Co. Mayo.
Thomas married Ellen Rourke, (Rorke, Roarke) on Sept. 30, 1852. Children: Anna Marie b. 1864, Dorthea Jane b. 1866, James, Robert, unknown if there were other children. Robert, Anna, Dorthea immigrated to US-year unknown. James immigrated to Australia.
I would be interested in finding out who Thomas's parents were. I am also interested in finding out about Robert, my great grandfather.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Millicent Sweeney

I have info re Descendants of Patrick Coen from 1845 of Galway, Ireland, may which includes Thomas Coen, 4th child of Patrick and Ellen (Healey) Coen. There is a Coen Family Tree book available for purchase from a cousin/aunt of my husband. She did a wonderful job and she is to be highly commended.

I am researching the family of Michael Rourke born 1800 in Newport, Mayo. Michael's children were born in the same time frame as your Ellen Rourke. Let me know if you have further interest.

Hello,
I thought that I had sent you an email saying that I was delighted for you to send any info that you have, but
I don't see it on this board, so it didn't reach you.
I would love to have any information that you have so that we can see if there is a relationship between the two people we are looking for.

warm regards,
Millie

Thanks for the followup.
I have a family that includes the following:
Michael Rourke b 1800 (Newport) and Mary Rourke Per the Griffith Records living in Barrackhill which overlooks Newport, Mayo. Michael is the oldest son (one of twelve)of Michael Rourke born 1774 or 1777 in Tipperary and Jane Langley. Michael 1800 married Mary in 1829 approx. and had several children. Ellen looks like she is the second or third born 1831 or 1832. The family given names have ellen as a name given in each generation. My great grandfather was the last born of the generation patrick 1814.
There is much more of a story regarding the 1800 generation but that may be beyond your interest. Let me know.
