My Great Grandfather, James Joseph Joyce was born in April 1853 in Ballinrobe, County Mayo, Ireland,  His father, James, was 25 and his mother, Ellen Mullany, was 23.

He had two brothers, Patrick (born 1851 in Ballovey RC parish, County Mayo) and John (born 1956 in Youngstown, Ohio).  Based on the baptism dates and the birth of John in America, we can infer they migrated to the USA between 1854 to 1856. 

James Joseph married Mary McGraw in 1876 in Youngstown, Ohio. They had four children (all born in Youngstown, Ohio during their marriage, Joseph Ignatius Joyce was born on June 3, 1878, Anna Joyce was born in May 1880,  Mary Jane was born on August 4, 1882, and my Grandfather - James Alphonso was born on February 23, 1885.

James Joseph died on June 29, 1939, at the age of 86, and was buried in Los Angeles, California.

    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>
