Machine from Derrygoolin Galway

Interested in Mahons who lived in Derrygoolin in the 1800s. Father was James Mahon (1819-1874) who married Julia Hogan (1832-1904). They had a number of children: Thomas (1859-1904), James (1861-?), Patrick (1861-?) Margaret (1868-1870), Anne (1868-1870) Martin (1870-?), Malachy (1875-1949), John (1865-1944) and Timothy(1864-1945). Know a number of children emigrated to the U.S. Especially interested in where those who remained in Ireland are buried but would appreciate any information. Am willing to share what I know about those in U.S.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I located the 1901 and 1911 census records for the family in Derrygoolin South and Thomas was the head of household. I also including the civil death record for Julia in case you did not have a copy. You may also want to search sites on the Internet such as https://historicgraves.com/ ; to see if you can find any information.

Let me know if you have any questions.

The RC parish is likely Ballynakill/Derrybrien http://www.clonfertdiocese.ie/ballinakill-and-derrybrien ; You may want to contact them about their local cemetery.

Roger,

 

Thank you so much!  Some of the sites you provided I have never seen!  And the death records will give me new ways to search as well.

Thank you for helping me learn more about the family and giving me new leads.

Hi Barbara,

   My name is Megan Mahon O'Sullivan.  I responded to you in an earlier post about a possible link in our searches.  I really feel like we are researching the same family.

My grandfather was Martin Mahon b 1900 in Derrygoolin to Thomas Mahon and Anne Cleary.  Thomas Mahon's parents were James Mahon and Julia Hogan.  I have that Thomas' father was Timothy Mahon of Woodford born 1789 died 1875  He died at the age of 86.  I am not sure of his wife's name.

I would love to talk to you and compare notes.  

I am currently living in a small town in NY that borders Connecticut.  I know of a woman in CT that could possibly help although I haven't contacted her yet.  I was in contact with a family member living in Ireland that gave me a lot of info too.  I would love to share.
