Guinan's from Timsallagh or Spring Grove

Elwyn

Thank you so very much. YesI believe these are my Guinan's. I am trying to also find a record for my gg gf who emigrated around 1848-1849. He may have been in that town as well prior to emigrating. His name John Guinan b 1822-1823 He was either a cousin or brother of Mary Guinan Kenny. He may have also had a brother Bernard, a brother Michael and a brother Daniel. I am unable to get a death certificate from here as there seems to be no record, but he died around 1886 in New York. He married Honor Dolan who was also from Galway after he arrived in New York. I do know her parents names were Michael Dolan and Ellen according to her death certificate. She was born in 1834 and died in New York April 21, 1898.

Thank you for your response

Hi Kelley
Just joined this page. My grandfather Patrick Guinan was born in springrove as below.

I don't know what happened but the Guinan family had a large farm in springrove but my grandfather's father Bernard and his brother Thomas had a falling out and Bernard sold his half of the land and Thomas kept his half. Thomas still has descendants in springrove.

My grandfather moved to a local village Kiltormer and married Mai Sheil.

Hope this is a help to you

Hi Kelley - still attempting to connect John with the Guinan ancestors who emigrated to Kingston.   Discovered some info on his children - Bridget, James, Catherine.  

Hi, I am a descendant of Mary Guinan/ Edward Kenny. I am awaiting my AncestryDNA and hope it will fit with John, Michael, Daniel, Bernard and Bridget KIlfoyle being siblings

Hi Miri

Mary Guinan would most likely have been a sister or cousin to my gg gf John (1823-1886) who stayed behind when the others emigrated to USA around 1849-1850 during the famine. I would descend from your Guinan's too. I have also done dna .

Hi Kelley

you may be interested in joining this group (8) East Galway Genealogy & DNA | Facebook they have a project "The East Galway Black 47 DNA Project" that I am keen to get as many Guinan descenents to join as possible so that we can compare DNA and maybe get a better Idea of how we are related

Michael Guinan - WikiTree Profile this is where you can find the most accurate information I have put together so far.....please add to it

Cheers

Hi Miriam

Im sorry for this late reply. Thank you for all of the information you provided. I decided to give my ancestry a rest, and have recently started looking again. 

I do not use Facebook, but I have done my dna. I believe you and I are related through dna. I am on ancestry . com 

I followed you on wiki and will be sorting through that as well. 

Thank you for all the work you've done. I appreciate it.
