Hi Lydia:
Mom says there were some Furlongs married to the Cullitons of Ballycullane (200 years ago)so maybe we are diiiiistant relatives.
Since you will be in Dublin looking at files under Cull, could you please keep your eyes open for marriage cert or any BMD for :
James Culliton b. abt 1808 of Ballycullane
m. Catherine Stafford b. abt 1810 also of Ballycullane.
Their son Francis b Aug 19, 1830 baptised St Martin's Church Ballycullane,
married Catherine Anderson of Taylortown ;
emigrated to Ohio, USA between 1851-53.
Any info, sources, leads etc would be much appreciated.

I also have a William Culleton gg grandfather but all I know is that he was born somewhere in Ireland about 1830 and emigrated before 1858. Death cert not available so it feels hopeless to try and track his family.
Thanks
Kate

Hi Kate,

Thats very intersting. My G Grandfather Adam Culleton lived in Ballylannan and then Ballinglee about 1 to five miles respectively from Ballycullane. Now Adam's son and Daughter Patrick and Margaret Culleton emigrated to Ohio at the turn of the century. Parnell Culleton passed on all the info on Patrick to me a number of years ago which no doubt you have on all the disks he left you. Now all we know in the family is that Patrick ended up in Ohio because he was going over to an Uncle Frank Culleton who I could never trace. He was a blacksmith I believe. Could be a long shot but any chance there could be a connection to your Francis althought he would have been 70 at that stage.

I will do my best on tracing James but as you probably know the Civil records here in Ireland stop at 1864 and church records can be like a needle in a haystack and you need so much time to go through them. I will certainly keep an eye out for you. Either way our Culletons all came from the same small community where members of my family still live.

Best Regards,

Lydia

Thanks.
My Francis is called "Frank" in 1870 census where he is listed as a laborer. That family spelled it Culliton on baptismal records and military records in Ohio. Two sons from that family ended up as horse breeders/traders so blacksmith isn't too far off. Francis Culliton died in 1873. When did Patrick emigrate?
Do you have Walsh or Welsh in your family? Francis used William F. Welch as an alias in the Civil War according to his widow's petition for benefits.
In 1853 either a lot of my family had emigrated or else they are incorrectly logged as Cullen's in the following census.

Parnell left me 40 floppy disks and I am really trying to add to Culleton data. Unfortunately, Ohio, where his and my families lived, required 6 floppies for one file and I have never been able to read the Ohio or "Canada Misc." files. I think Mary Beth in Canada also has files but I don't think she got Ohio.

Anyone who has a GED of Culleton/Cullitons in Ohio, if you send it to me, I'd love to reconstruct the 6 families Parnell referred to who all settled in Northern Ohio.
I have a very large "Ireland master file", but many are just a name and a date without any connection to spouse/parent/child and no documentation of source, so not very useful. When I get a query on this board I add as much info as I can so I can figure out when people are searching for the same family and connect them.
Kate

Hi Kate,

I just have to search where I filed Parnell's information and I'll forward it onto you, can you give me your e-mail address? No Walsh that I know of yet but it's very hard to get passed a certain date here when searching.
If you got that Tintern info from griffiths valuation do spread your search to Ballylannan, Ballymitty and Kilcavan all areas within a five ten mile radius and you will see lots of Culletons begin to show up.
I know my Culleton family in Ohio changed the spelling to Culliton when they moved over also.
Have you ever gotten over to Ireland to search? If not I am often in the Ballycullane area if you would like any photo's of the church etc.
Patrick emigrated about 1900 so too late for your Frank Culliton usless he traveled over to one of his sons. My e-mail is lylo@oceanfree.net
Anyway I will have a search for Parnell's files.

Best Regards,

Lydia

I thinks I just found them in the 1861 Pontiac, Quebec, Canada Census.

1. Does the name Raymond Bernard Culliton d. 06 Apr 1934 St Louis Co. MN mean anything? I have him as a son of unknown William who would be about the right age.

2. There are SO many families with the same names. Do you know for sure that this family came through Canada? I have a John Culliton b. in Canada in 1856 who died St. Wendel, Stearns, Minnesota and married Loretta. Does that sound right? He is a son of PATRICK and Bridget, not William.
1930 census he's in St Cloud , Benton, Minn age 76 born canada
1920 cenus Culloton in St Cloud, Benton, Minn John 62 born canada arr 1868 Nat 1898

3. I have a William Cullitan b. abt 1817 in Griffiston, Paulstown Parish, Co. Kildare. Do you have a clue where in Ireland your Wm came from?

OK, I can see that Patrick Collaton is last post is a different family.... but do you know CW Zimmerman who has a tree http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/2533741/person/-1836478155 ?
His line is through Mary Ann's daughter Susanna.
I can find Mary Ann's family 1880, 1895, 1900, 1910 and 1920
but not finding any info that would take you backwards on Wm. Sorry,

I found the marriage of William Culletin and Bridget Dugan. In St-Colomban, Quebec, Canada in 1839. Theses names match the parents listed on my Mary Ann Culleton's death certificate.
