Thomas McGovern

Gender
Male
Place of migration
Stayed in Ireland

Thomas McGovern was my maternal great grandfather, father of Dominick McGovern and grandfather of my grandmother Rose Ellen McGovern. He married Sicily/Ciciley Sweeney. She is listed as being 88 on the 1911 census, which means she was probably born in 1823. Family lore says she lived to be 100/101. I do not know when Thomas was born nor when he died. He is not listed on either the 1901 or 1911 census. Their children were Dominick 1851-1951, Rose Ann 1862-1944, Ellen, Sabina, John, and Bridget.

    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>
