Surnames: G/Kilbanes of Kiltoghert
Sincere apologies to Jane and all G/Kilbane researhers for giving misleading info on Mary Anne and Jane Gill from Aughriman Sth. Really sorry for putting you to the trouble of checking your records again, Jane.

Two years ago I lost most of my info on the Kilbanes of Kiltoghert due to a laptop crash. I bought lots of birth, marriage and death certs from The Leitrim and Rooscommon Heritage Centres to try and get started again. two of the marriage certs I bought were for the marriages of Mary Ann and Jane Gill married to James and John Gilbane of Aughriman Sth. The name of the father on both certs was recorded as a John Gill, Curraghmartin.
Our Irish records, for some strange reason, don't record the names of the mother of the bride.
Where I went wrong was, presuming that John Gill was the same father of both girls.
I stand corrected and have learned a valuable lesson on jumping to conclusions when records are scanty.
Apologies for writing up misleading info; was trying to help and made a mistake.

Jane, can you buy the Kiltoghert Parish register online? Would love to get my hands on it as the records for pre 1830s from our Heritage Centres are extremely scanty.....no townlands recorded or parents of bride/groom or witnesses to the marriages.

Regards,
Mary

Hi Mary,

No apologies needed. I was hoping that you might have come across something that would tie Mary Anne and Jane together. I'd originally made the sister assumption until I organized the children into my genealogy program. Only then did I realize there must be 2 families.

Thank you so much for the info on Bridget. If I was paying attention to my elderly (90+ year old) cousins, I might have eventually tried the Kelly surname for Bridget (someday). They have told me a story of a Kelly cousin (Patrick they thought) coming to visit them in Lynn, they think back in the 50's. He was a policeman or fireman in New York City, but they weren't sure about his first name and didn't remember who the parents were. I never connected him with Bridget. Thank you so much.

As far as I know, there are no registers online that you can purchase. But with the LDS indexing project, maybe we'll have that data at our fingertips soon. Anyone that's interested can volunteer to do some indexing. I got my stuff the old fashiioned way, hunched over the microfilm machine transcribing the data with pencil & paper. The indexing is much easier and can be done from home - I've done some myself.

I've got lots of notes from the registers and I'm more than willing to share this data. Let me know if there's something I can help with. I don't have much on James Gilbane and Ellen Paden - just what you have. You are right about the scanty info in the earlier registers - no townland, no mother's name on marriages, no spouse or parents for deaths/funerals.

I'm still at barb5ked@aol.com.

Thanks for all your help.

Jane

I'm looking for information on Mary Josephine McGuinness, brother of Edwin D, first Irish Catholic mayor of Providence and John B McGuinness, my gr grandfather. Her parents were Bernard McGuinness and Mary Gormley Higgins McGuinness.

We had no luck in our search for Bernard's parents, listed as Felix and Bridget McGuinness so were trying to search through Mary or Edwin.

Mary J married Thomas F Gilbane, they had 2 daughters Miriam and Catherine. Thomas and William started the carpentry business that eventually became the Gilbane Co. I found Thomas F in LA, CA in the 1910 census. So far the info has not given me the information I needed but have some questions just out of curiosity!

Does anyone know why he was in CA? Did his daughters marry?


Thanks in advance for any information.

Best regards,
Judith McGuinness

I believe she was married to my great grandfather Thomas f Gilbane who's brother was William Gilbane. William arrived in the United States in 1844 at the age of 1 with his parents and settled in RI. His brother Thomas was born 2 years later. William started in the carpentry business in 186o in Providence and started his own business in 1870. Thomas joined him in 1873. I have much more history on this but would have to pull out my records. Thomas died in the 1920s. Believe his daughter Catherine, my great aunt was a teacher. They lived at the corner of hope and Doyle ave in providence. The two brothers built identical houses at this location in the late 1890s. I have a picture of both families standing in front of the houses. My great aunt Catherine used to make me fudge when I was a young boy
I now live in Rhode Island and am a fourth generation family member who has worked for over 40 years for the company. Our web site is www.gilbaneco.com
Let me know your relationship to the clan and I will try and send you further history
