James Murray

CavanKinawley (Cavan)

I saw on YouTube the funeral of Mr. Murray of Drummersee.  I have Murray’s in my line but know nothing of them.  They were, I believe, from Drummersee or a surrounding townland.  I wonder if anyone has info to share.

Francis Drumm, son of Francis Drumm, both born in USA.  Thomas Drumm was my granddad, born in Drummersee.  His dad, I suspect, was Francis Drumm.  Thomas was born circa 1885.  He married Elizabeth McGovern, in NYC, in 1911.  She was from Glassdrumman.

Any help gratefully appreciated.  Frank Drumm fjdrumm@gmail.com

Roger and Eileen

Im just now rediscovering Irelandxo so I apologize for not having sooner said thanks for your help with those records.  In June I visited my cousin Gerard McKiernan, now living in Dundalk area. Gerard is Mary Teresa’s grandson.  He, his wife, my wife, two sons, and I drove over to Drummersee area and visited deceased relatives grave.  I’m particularly grateful for Mary Drumm’s records.  I’ll look into the Murray family too, something I have pursued with any gusto but will now.  Many thanks.
