Paul McDermott 1824-1881

wife, Catherine Delaney

Children - Bridget (Delia), Mary, Luke [Rose & John born later in New York, USA)

Paul McDermott is listed on the Irish Poverty Relief loans for Elphin Roscommon in the 1840s

He emigrated to the U.S. about 1850-1851 with his wife and children following soon thereafter.  

If the birth record I found for 10 Dec 1824 in Elphin is the correct one, his parents were Edward McDermott and Ann Taylor.

Paul seems to be an unusual name - I've only found references to one Paul McDermott in Brooklyn, NY, USA

    Tithe Applotment Survey of Elphin

    <p>Compiled in the 1820-30s, tythes were a form of local tax for occupiers of agricultural land. Anyone with a holding of land greater than 1 acre was obliged to pay tithes as maintenance for the Church of Ireland (then responsible for poor relief in the parish). The tithes were calculated on the average price of oats (the principal type of "corn" grown in this district at that time) for the 7 years ending in November 1821.</p>
