Golden and O'Donnol ancestors from Burrishoole/Newport

MayoBurrishoole (Mayo)

   An extended family of ancestors of mine and other relatives emigrated to the United States about 1839; they apparently originated in the Newport/Burrishoole area, although I have no other specific information about that.  The central individuals, the latter three of them Irish-born emigrands, are as follows.:

Gr/Gr/Gr/grandfather   John Golden                         dates uncertain, died in Ireland
Gr/Gr/Gr/grandmother  Honor O'Donnol Golden        1770-1863
Gr/Gr/grandfather        Michael Golden                    c. 1807-1888
Gr/Gr/grandmother      Bridget Bohan Golden          1810-c. 1885

   Three siblings of Michael Golden also emigrated, one also married to a Bohan, and another to a Crossin.  This is essentially all I know about my likely Newport/Burrishoole connection.  If anyone has any information, or an interest in discussing any aspect of this, I would greatly appreciate it.

In Mastersons Newport Families for Burrishool parish the is only one mention of Golding.  A John Golding born to James Golding and Catherine Malley Drumlong 26 april 1865. The sponsor was Mary Malley grandmother. A note said James in America.

There was also Golden family on the islands in Kilmeena, they moved to mainland and their descencants are still there.

Hi Ken,

I tried the Tithe Applotments, Memorials of the Dead Galway & Mayo & the Irish Censuses 1821, 41 & 51 for the Goldens without success I'm afraid

Griffiths Valuation, however, has this:

The Valuation was done in Mayo in 1856-7 so hard to say if this is your John

I no longer have a subscription but rootsireland.ie might be worth a try if you haven't already done so. There is a 1 day subscription (15 Euro) You can do a search on the log-in page before you pay to see if it looks worthwhile.
