 Dominick McGovern -1851-1951 was my maternal great grandfather. His daughter Rose Ellen was my grandmother. Dominick was born in Newport, son of Thomas McGovern and Sicily Sweeney. He married Mary KeanE/Kane/Cain, also of Newport. Their children were Bridget Delia 1882-1963, Mary Ann (Molly) 1886-1994, Dominick Timothy 1887-1921, John Thomas 1888-?, Rose Ellen 1889-1961, Lawrence 1890-1913, Sabina 1892-1925, and Patrick 1898-1977. Dominick's wife Mary died circa 1910. He married Sarah McManamon 1871-1918? in 1912 or so. She was a widow with several children and together they became parents of Mary Josephine 1913-1913 and Laurence 1915-1975.  Dominick, Mary, and Sarah all remained in Ireland. 

An article in the Newport News for April 1951 is devoted to celebrating Dominick’s 100th birthday.

    Kildavnet Freeholders List

    <p>A unique Census Substitute for the townland of Carrickkildavnet aka Kildavnet in 1829. This Freeholders List can provide useful information about those who held enough land to register to vote. While the smaller tenant farmers who suffered most during the Great Famine won't appear on this list, there may be a few surprises included here (that didn't appear on Tithe applotment records). These could be partners on a freehold lease. Can you find your ancestor's name below?</p>
