I am looking for relatives/descendants of Patrick Renaghan,Armagh,N.Ireland,b 1818,d 1911(?) maternal ggrandfather. Any cousins pls e-mail me .Thanks Joe

My paternal grandmother's name was Catherine Renaghan. her mother's last name was Roch (possibly Rock, pronounced Rock). Her family is from Armagh. Please get back to me, what are the chances of two different Renaghan clans from Armagh?

Hi Ed, as to your question,there's a good probability that we're from the same family.
My guess is that Catherine Renaghan is my great-aunt. My great grandfather was Patrick
Renaghan (b.1818 d.1909?)He and his wife had
about 15 children so it's pretty much a given. I'll check with my cousin Dotti (the keeper of the family tree) as to who is whom.
You can also e-mail me at this address:
jdaly@sau16.k12.nh.us
Hope to hear from you soon. Best, Joe

Hi Ed,

I guess I'm a relative of yours too, Joe and I are cousins. Our Grandfather was Leo Peter Renaghan, one of 15 children, of Patrick Joseph and Martha Elizabeth Beresford Clarke Renaghan's children. I believe your grandmother was a sister to my grandfather.
I have lots of information and pictures of the family and also of Armagh etc. My father was Albert Patrick, he was the oldest of 7 children, I am the oldest grandchild of 32.
If you go to the Family History site,(Latter Day Saints) and look up John Clarke, you can get some good info.
Hope to hear from you, Maureen

Hello Maureen, long time no see...it's nice to know that you've done some research into the old family sapling. I've been trying to get a copy of g-grandfather's obituary(the one that tells of all his exploits) from cousin Dotti but so far no hard copy. Maybe you could help me out.
Anyway, how are you and Auntie Glad? I hope this finds you all in at least reasonable health. Here's my e-mail address: jdaly@sau16.k12.nh.us
maybe we can communicate?(ya think?) loveya Jody

Hi Jody, nice to hear from you, yes I have a copy of our Greatgrandfather's obituary and will send it, just leave me your address. I've been having a ball with this stuff, it really intrigues me. Habe you been to the Armagh site? It lists the land he owned in 1870 or so and also an Alice Renaghan, I'm not sdure just who she is, maybe a sister or something. sorry about the spelling. I'm trying to find out more about Martha Beresford Clark and where the Beresford comes from. If you gho the mormon site and look up our great great grandfather, John Clarke or no e, it gives some interesting info on his background and pedigree. Also a person by the name of John Lavers from Canada supplied the Info. Would like to talk with him, I,m sure he is a relative too.

Got lots of stuff, get back to me gotta go one of the pups is chewing something!!!!!
love Mo

Hi Mo, thanks for the quick reply. I have a few questions that maybe you could answer. First of all..what's your e-mail address? I'd like to communicate directly with you rather than go through this site. You can e-mail me using jdaly@sau16.k12.nh.us or at the
other one alexntoots@hotmail.com.
Also what's the "Mormon" site?
Waiting to hear from you. Loveya, Jody

Only thing i know is that my father's father was Patrick Renaghan. My father James Renaghan always said that his father (Patrick) died when he was an infant, approx 1909. Patrick Was married to Mary Macken, they had about 13 children, Bernard, George, Edward, Mary, Margaret, Thomas, James, Patrick, etc. Keep in touch

Hello Sheila, I surmise that you are a Renaghan.When you say that your grandfather was a Patrick Renaghan, have you a birth date and place for him? Just wondering as Renaghan is not a common name. Please be in touch, thanks. Joe Daly

Hi Sheila,
Joe is my cousin, his mom, Margaret and my Dad, Albert Patrick Renaghan, were brother and sister. My dad was born on March 17, 1909
Our Grandfather was Leo Peter, he was one of thirteen, his father was Patrick Joseph, who was married to Martha Beresford Clarke. The Clarkes were from England but the Renaghans were from Armagh, Ireland.
Do you have any more Info, Imthink maybe you are one generation ahead of Joe and I. It's possible that your g,g,g grandfather was a brother to our g g grandfather Patrick.
Do you have anymore dates beyond Patrick and Mary? Keep in touch, my e-mail address is Poodlenell@aol.com Maureen Renaghan Ziko
