Mike, Michael Gordon rang yesterday, we had a lovely chat but there is a lot of info.  Apparently he didn't even know his grandmothers maternal name.  He did say that Daniel was a very gentle kind man but that he was a bit of a drinker?? and that he was the black sheep of the family.  He came to England in about 1942 and joined the Royal Navy and after the war he joined the RAF.

 

Michael was Daniel and Dorothys child and Michael doesn't have any.

 

Bridget Gordon was known as Jet and married a Tom somebody and they moved to Scotland.

 

Monica married in Ireland he thinks and emigrated to South Africa, they had 3 children and lots of grandchildren.  She has now died

 

Johanna Joan was known as Joan and was married to Joseph Kelly as we know, they went on the have three children, Mauve, Dermund or Dermot and another girl.  The last Michael heard of them (about 1960) they lived in Fallynoggin or Fallinoggin in S. Dublin.

 

Daniel never mentioned any of his brothers only his sisters, this could mean they are all dead perhaps.

 

And this is all he knows, he has got a shoebox in the loft and he is going to get it over the next week and if there is more info he will let me have it

Mike, how easy is it for you to freely see the 1901 and 1911 census for Cavan or do you have to pay.  I have found most of the Trainors on the 'Search Findings' list but have to pay 5 euros each and that could mount up to a lot of money trying to find the right ones Polly

Polly unfortunately The I.F.H.F Charge.I know within the Next year or two the 1911 will be available free from the Dublin Archives.They are Slowly making progress to add the 1911 censuses from all counties.

 

If you join the Irish family history foundation,Its free to join it may tell you more

 

Mike

Polly this will tell you how they are going to add

 

Mike

Mike, thanks for that.  Can you tell me how far Shancrook is from Cootehill and Bailieborough please.    I have joined th I.F.H.F - that is where I found the census info from - but as I say they charge and I can't afford it at the moment.  I sent for Ellen Gordons death certificate but they only looked from 1922 to 1930 so no luck there regards Polly

Polly marian said to Mention The place is Shercock It right next To bailieborough

 

Mike

Mike, I have seen a lot of ancestry hints with Shancrook Bailieborough are you saying this should be Shercock and not Shancrook, Polly

Hi Polly

 

There is no such place as Shancrook in Ireland.  I feel certain the place you are looking for is SHERCOCK. 

 

Bailieborough, Shercock and Cootehill are all within about ten miles of each other.  I used to live in the area, so I do know what I am talking about.  Hope this is helpful to you.

Hi Marion

 

Thanks for both messages, I will look on that site

 

Thanks again

 

Polly

Hi Marion

 

Can you tell me where Killybreen Errigal Traugh co Monaghan please

 

regards Polly

Hi Polly 

 

Killybreen is a townland of just 212 acres in the parish of Errigal Trough, which is in the Barony of  Trough in County Monaghan. 

 

The barony of  Trough is made up of two civil parishes:  Errigal Trough and Donagh. Errigal Trough is the northern tip of Co. Monaghan, which forms an arrowhead pointing into Co. Tyrone to the north.  Errigal Trough is bordered by Co. Tyrone to the west, north, and east.  The civil parish of Donagh is south of the eastern part of Errigal Trough, and Co. Armagh lies to the immediate east.  The townlands of the parish of Errigal Trough are published on a map at pages 68 and 69 of Landscapes of South Ulster—A Parish Atlas of the Diocese of Clogher by Patrick J. Duffy (The Institute of Irish Studies, Queen's University of Belfast 1993).

 

I found this Traynor site in my travels across the web:

Polly - If you go to Google Maps, then key in "Killybreen, Co. Monaghan", a large-scale road map will come up.  You will see that Killybreen is north of Tydavnet village, just near Carrickroe.
