MARKS families in Dungarvan

I am looking to connect with MARKS families of Dungarvan from late 1700's and early 1800's +.  I suspect my MARKS ancestor (George Marks b. 1829)  may be linked to them and would love to work out how.  I'm especially looking for anyone connected to the following couples - John Marks & Brigid Kiely, Augustine Marks & Ellen Foley, Catherine Marks & William Bowler, Mary Marks & Maurice Hubert, Margaret Marks & Matthew Kirby, Honor Marks & James Lang, Miles Marks & Mary Costeen/Custeen, John Marks & Honor Lynch, William Marks & Mary Coghlan, Augustine Marks & Margaret Halihan.  

If you are connected to any of these MARKS or even some that may not be on this list but come from the area I would love to hear from you.

Hi

If you find any connection with the Marks families of Co. Down further up the coast please let me know, in particular Kilkeel and Downpatrick.

All the best with your research,

Trish Galvin Marks

Will do Trish.  I suspect there may be but no good leads at the moment.

 

Cheers

19 King Street Abbeyside:  The Mark's name was known in Dungarvan, They lived in the 'Abbeyside' part of Dungarvan.James (Taylor) and Sarah Connell had issue; Michael 1890,Augustine,1879,Honora,1883,Johanna, 1876, Margaret1881,Mary 1876, (there was also a Margeret born in 1885, which suggests that she died) check the St Augustine's church records online.

James  and and Mary Phelan had issue,Michael,1845. There are no further record of these Mark's at abbeyside, but it is possible that they moved to Dungarvan, or emigrated.

John Marks is listed as living in Boreenatra in Dungarvan, (Griffith's primary valuations)

Dunno why I placed Taylor in the brackets, it should read 'Marks.

Hi Andrea

Please do keep an eagle on them. I've hit so many brick walls with a couple I suspect concussion!!

It would be wonderful to find new cousins.

All the best,

Thanks Eddie - I'm more eager to go back and see if any of the couples I listed link up with same parents.

yes Trish, I totally understand.  I said to someone the other day that if I try and think any more laterally to try and find these Marks' I'll be flat out on the ground!!

I'll keep you in mind. :-)
