These are my G.G.G.G. Grandparents. George Kerfoot born ? married ?? died 1819 in Ottawa area just after emigrating. John Smith married Mary Warner. Would like to learn who George married I have one source says that his wife was Eleanor with no surname. Also would like to know if he had any brothers or sisters. Also don't know for sure who his parents were and anything about them. Both these families came from Coolcullen just across the border in Kilkenny from Carlow I know the Smith's at one time lived in Carlow. Just not sure were. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for the ancestors of Thomas CURRAN and Ellen KEHOE from Marley (aka Knockduff), Co. Carlow. Our ancestor is their daughter, Ellen Mary CURRAN (born 1874) who went from Queenstown to San Francisco, CA via NY in 1895. Ellen Kehoe's parents were John KEHOE and Elizabeth MARTIN.
She married in San Francisco to Edmond ANGLIM of Co. Tipperary.
I have Thomas' baptismal record (1837) from St. Mullin's Church which says that his parents were Michael CURRAN and Eliza BURKE. Our Ellen had several siblings: Mary, Eliza, Michael and John.

Any information would be appreciated.

Patrick KING from Ballyine, Borris, Bagenalstown and Domore, Carlow. and Johanna MURPHY about 1820-1899 from Ballyine, Borris, Bagenalstown Carlow

My gr-grandmother was Margaret King b. around 1874 and her mother was Johanna Murphy, whom I know nothing about, and her father was Patrick King.  Perhaps my Johanna Murphy was also a descendent of your Johanna Murphy as I am pretty sure my ancestors are from Borris.  Right now what I just told you is all I know.   (the Jorgensen courtesy of my husband)

Hi,
I also have an interest in Lawlor's of Carlow. Cornelius Lawlor and Catherine Bergen were the parents of Maria Lawlor who emigrated alone to Australia in 1855 aged about 20. Cornelius was a farmer and painter.
Despite his uncommon name I've had no luck finding anything on Cornelius.

My grandfather Richard MOLLOY was born 4th July 1866 at Tiny Park in the parish of Ballyinacarrig. His parents were Richard MOLLOY and Mary KEOGH. There was an elder brother James Molloy (b. Hacketstown) who became a Sergeant in the RIC. Possibly a younger brother Henry, and a sister Eliza but no details known.  Family tradition has it that Mary Keogh was related to Myles Keogh but I've never proved it!  Be interested in any contact for MOLLOY in Carlow.

Mooney/Maney

I am searching for information on the following family from Carlow. The gentlemen were James, John Joseph, and Thomas Mooney who I believe were related to my GGrandfather John Mooney from Cleveland Ohio. All three gentlemen came to Ohio between 1904 and 1910. On the ship manifest for all three it showed Bagnalstown as last place of residence and on one it listed James Mooney as his father.I was able to get a death certificate for Thomas and it has that James Mooney and Bridget Maney was his parent and place of birth was County Carlow Ireland. I was told that Mooney and Maney could be the same name just a different spelling. Would any one have the Griffiths for Bagnalstown or the 1900 census to see what information they might have on this family.  My GGrandfather John Mooney returned to the U.S. with John Joseph after a visit to Ireland in 1910 and Bagnalstown Carlow was listed as last place of residence & James Mooney as John Joseph's father. If my GGrandfather was James brother then James would of been born in the 1840's because my GGrandfather was born abt. 1845 but I don't know where. I don't know if he was born in Carlow or James moved to Carlow after he got married. I don't know where to look to find this information. Please can any one shed some light on this for me. I have received My Great Grandfathers Naturalization Papers, death certificate, arrival from Ireland, information on all his children but nothing has where he came from or who his siblings were. His death  certificate has John Mooney and it appears to be Elizabeth Wynne as his parents, but I cannot find anything on them.  Civil or the Diocese in Ohio has nothing of their marriage. They had to be married in the U.S. because my GGrandfather John came over in 1867 and was single at the time. Catherine Brennan came over in 1866 or 1869. They were  married on the 1870 Cleveland Census and Maggie Brennan age 19 was living with them,  I just don't where else to look. Thank you for any help that you can give me, I just keep going around in circles

Regards,

Pat in CT.

P.S. I have sent for death cert. for every male Mooney who died in Cleveland that I could get to see if they might share the same parents but no luck.

MORAN (GORMORAN)

My Great X 3 Grandmother was Frances (Fanny) Moran. who was reportedly born  in Ireland.

(Fanny_ Gormoran) though there was no proof to substantiate this did people who went by the surname Gormoran eventually shorten this to Moran??. Fanny has been a mystery in our family as to where she was born in Ireland and who her parents were and siblings, but we have been searching for Moran's, should we have been looking for Gormoran's???

Though I don't know the location she left Ireland ca1845 and emigrated to St. John New Brunswick Canada where she married my Great X 3 Grandfather on January 10, 1847.   I have traced them from 1847 onwards until Fanny's death on December 9 1901 in St. John NB. Canada. Any information on how to find out what part of Ireland the MORAN'S may have come from would be wonderful.   I don't know her parents names or any of her siblings and Fanny has remained a mystery in our family.

Regards

In the 1900 US census in Jersey City, NJ, Thomas Aughney is listed with his wife and children. Thomas was born in 1862 in Roscat, near Tullow, Co. Carlow, and came to the US in 1882. Listed with Thomas' family is ANNIE NOLAN, niece, b. Feb 1889, age 11, b. New Jersey, parents b. Ireland,  attending school. Since Thomas' wife's name was Morrisy, I think that therefore Annie was probably the daughter of a sister of Thomas. He had 2 sisters that I know of, but I do not know anything beyond their baptism date; Mary Aughney, b. 1860, and Joanna, b. 1857, both in Roscat. There was a Joanna Aughney on the passenger list of the SS Batavia, arrived NY 8 July 1872, age 17, spinster, from Ireland to U.S., Steerage. Since Aughney is not a common name and the age is close, I suspect this is Thomas's sister, but I have not found any record of her in the US.

A brother of Thomas Aughney was Joseph, and I believe it was he who was listed on the passenger list of the SS Commonwealth, Queenstown to Boston, May 1902; Joseph Aughney, age 35, single, farmer, Irish, last residence Roscat, destination Madison, Wisconsin, going to MICHAEL NOLAN, 620 West Wash Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin; sponsor Uncle Mike Nolan. I did find a Michael Nolan in Madison, Wisconsin in the 1910 US census but he was a widower so no wife's name was given. The census information was that he was age 72, b. Ireland, immigrated 1864, and had children living with him - Henry T. age 24, Nellie age 21 and Elizabeth age 12, all born in Wisconsin.

I could not find him in the 1900 census. These Aughney siblings' parents were Michael Aughney & Catherine McDonald, so why was Michael NOLAN listed as Joseph's Uncle? I believe it is the same Joseph Aughney who sailed on the SS Caronia, from Queenstown, arrived New York City 27 Sep 1905, age 40, male, single, Labr., last residence Tullow, destination New York, previously in U.S.; to join Brother Thomas Aughney, 265 Monmouth St., New York [should be New Jersey].

SO. does anyone have in their records a NOLAN who married an AUGHNEY? Or does anyone recognize ANNIE NOLAN or MICHAEL NOLAN?

_{Jim Nolan}

Julia Mary Nolan was born August 09, 1841. Her brother, Mathew Nolan was born Bet. 1834 - 1844. Family members have a Bible that gives Mathew's line, but there was no mention of Julia (found the connection through the Census when 2 of his children were living with her and her husband). No DOB or DOD is listed for him and conflict with Census and marriage date in bible puts his DOB probably in the years listed above.

Mathew married Mary Ann Norris in New Jersey and I've been unable to find them in Census there. First time I find either Mathew or Julia is in the 1870 Census of Algiers, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. They had 3 children born in NJ that I "assume" died young as I do not find them in LA and then had 4 more children in LA. In 1872, Mary died after Matthew "deserted" the family. No further information has been found on him. This information has been handed down by the family and the children were placed in an orphanage. The two oldest children are found living with Julia and her husband, Michael Spellman and listed as Niece and Nephew (Julia Mary Nolan and John Peter Nolan.) The two younger children, Mary Elizabeth (Mamie) and Mathew M. Nolan were still in an orphanage according to family, but I haven't been able to pinpoint them in the census.

What was strange in my research is that when I contacted a family member of the Mathew Nolan line, she never knew that we were related, but had "heard stories" about a "Nice Mr. Spellman" that helped her grandfather, John by giving him a job in his store and teaching him math. What puzzled me was that he was not "Uncle Michael". But stories may have gotten handed down wrong :)

I have not been able to track Julia or Mathew in passenger lists and they may have a connection to a Miller family in Jersey City, New Jersey as I have 2 letters written in 1868 and 1869 from a "Nellie Miller" who mentions her brother, Will and her sister, Abbie. I checked census for 1860 with them and around them and no Nolan's in the area, so not sure if they are related or just "good friends".

Thanks for any help,

Lisa Cotten
