The Dolans, McPartlands and O'Hara's from Loughros in Cloonclare Parish
Hello
I am Nancy Mann from Houston, Texas in the US, and I would love to find out that I have relatives in Ireland. Via a Valuation of Tenements, some Roots Ireland records, and a whopping big probate casehere in the US this is what I believe to be factual. Terrence Dolan and Mary O'Hara are my 3rd great grandparents. Their son John married Mary McPartland before coming over to the US. Her father was Thomas McPartland. I thought her mother was Bridget Cassidy, but someone at the Leitrim Genealogy Center didn't believe I had found the correct baptismal record. Mary's siblings were Bridget, Honora, Patrick and Rose McPartland. Patrick and Rose never married. Patrick came to the US but Rose did not. Bridget married Bartholomew Clancy and had at least the children Patrick, Thomas and Mary. They stayed in Ireland. Honora married Bryan Meehan, and they did come to the US. John and Mary's first child,Patrick Dolan, my great grandfather, was born in Ireland in 1857. They came to the US in 1860.
Some names of interest to me on the Valuation of Tenements are as follows. Owen O'Hara must some how be related to Mary O'Hara. I got the name Mary O'Hara off of John Dolan's death record in the US. I got his father's name off of this same record. Owen was also a witness listed on John and Mary's marriage record that an Irish genalogist pulled for me. Another witness to their marriage was Francis McLoughlin, and he is also on this Valuation of Tenements. Arelative perhaps? Or just a family friend? I don't know. What a mystery! In addition to Bartholomew Clancy being on this Valutaion of Tenements so are Clancys Hugh, Patrick, Boyce, Owen and James.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
