| From: Jude (Original Message) | Sent: 24/07/2007 07:28 | My great grandfather was Patrick Meehan, he came from Ireland. He married Bridgit Doyle in 1848. Patrick was born about 1819. Patrick's sisters and brothers were:
Frances Fredrick Meehan 1811
Patrick Meehan 1819
Catherine Meehan- 1838
Margaret- 1839
Isabella 1843
Mary Ann 1846
and possibly a Thomas b. 1839.
It is thought that they came from Innis(something) Fermanage, Ireland, possible after 1860. Patrick's last child was born in 1859 and all the children were born in Ireland.
We think that Michael and Margaret Love were the parents, but can not tie them together. I Think from the census that Michael was born in 1816, he must have been born earlier than that to have been the father.
Help please!! we have been looking for about 5 yrs for Patrick's father. they were all in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada and surrounding area.

Mike, I read the message from you on site and I don't think this is the right one's. There were about 6 or 7 children in that family. I can send the children of Patrick if that will help?
Thanks alot for looking.

| From: Jude (Original Message) | Sent: 2007/07/27 02:18 AM | I sent a message asking for help on the Meehan's from Cobourg, think it has been more than a week. Are you guys getting to big? Not enough time? I understand and will be patient, but would really like some help with this. I have 2 cousins that are related to the Meehan's also, one in Denmark and one in Toronto, we never could figure out if Michael and Margaret Meehan were the parents of our great grandfather Patrick Meehan. So if anyone has any free time, would like a reply of some kind.

Hi Jude, The following information has been sent to your e-mail address. It looks like all the children of Patrick and Bridget were born in Canada.. At least that is what they say on their marriage certificates. The Michael born in 1799 maybe the father of Patrick and the Francis(Frank) b. 1811/12 maybe Michael's brother.. There is such a gap between Patrick's birth and the other mentioned siblings of Patrick..something doesn't compute,therefore, the siblings must be followed to verify information. Following is Francis: Name:Francis Meehan Death Date:Sep 1882 Death Location:Northumberland Gender:Male Estimated birth year:abt 1812 Birth Location:Ireland 1881 Census: Francis.. born abt. 1811/12 Household: Name Marital StatusGenderEthnic OriginAgeBirthplaceOccupationReligion Frank MEEHAN M Male Irish 70 Ireland Laborer Catholic Elisabeth MEEHAN M Female English 63 O <Ontario> Catholic Mary MEEHAN Female Irish 35 O <Ontario> Dress Maker Catholic Frank MEEHAN Male Irish 32 O <Ontario> Laborer Catholic Elisabeth C MEEHAN Female Irish 30 O <Ontario> Tailoress Catholic Annie MEEHAN Female Irish 22 O <Ontario> Miliner Catholic The spouse of Frank(Francis) is Elizabeth WINTER.

Mike I have gone through the url that you sent me and still don't know if Patrick 1822 and Thomas are children of Michael and Margaret Love Meehan. Jelora has more or less told me that she isn't helping me any more, isn't there someone that can? If I am being a pain let me know and I will try and correct it! I have done every thing you told me to do and more. I am now looking at marriage's for 1869-1920 for lower Canada. Jelora seems to just come up with marriage certificates and death certificates, I wish I knew how she does it, so I wouldn't have to bother her. A reply please. Jude |
