Codyre/Mulloy Families of Mincloon/Rahoon/New Village townlands

Hello Tina,

I got excited when I saw your posting's heading - Codyre Families of Mincloon/Rahoon.  My research tracks back to Bridget Codyre (my 2nd great-grandmother) who was born in June 1834 to Patrick Codyre and Magaret Gilloway and got married to Michael O'Neill around 1854.  I have some info on some families in Mincloon, Rahoon and surrounding areas.  If we can get in touch offline and compare our records to see if our families are connected or not, please get in touch with me via dilbretta at hotmail dot com.  

I also am hoping to find some distant cousins living in Mincloon, Rahoon and surrouding areas.  I do have a contact info that you and your daughter might want to contact for possible tour in Galway and nearby.  Hope to hear from you via email.

Cheers, 

Roni

Added Remarks and Questions about Codyre Ancestors:

Codyres are buried in at least three Rahoon Parish cemeteries:  Forthill, New Rahoon, and Bushypark.  The oldest burial is Patrick Codyre at Forthill who died in 1849.  His age and date of birth are not recorded.  Buried at New Rahoon are John Codyre, born about 1837, and Thomas Codyre, born about 1843.  The Codyre burials at Bushypark are more recent burials for family members born in the late ninteenth and into the twentieth centuries.

Does anyone know the ancestor line of any of these Codyres?  Does anyone know a Codyre family tree that identifies ancestors back to the early nineteenth century?  Who were the parents and the families of John and Thomas Codyre buried at New Rahoon?

Hi Tina M.,

I have been doing some work on any Codyres I come across in Mincloon/Rahoon area.

"Buried at New Rahoon are John Codyre, born about 1837, and Thomas Codyre, born about 1843."

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/183663780/john-codyre

According to his death registry, he was married to a Catherine.  His parents were undetermined at this time.  He must be related to a Thomas Codyre who erected the tombstone, but no baptism record is found on a John Codyre.

Thomas' wife was Mary Kyne and his three children, Margaret, Delia and Catherine, were buried in the same cemetery.  His parents were Patrick Codyre and Magaret Gilloway - related to my 2nd great grandmother - Bridget Codyre.  You have access to my family tree on Thomas Codyre, so please feel free to examine information there.  

Cheers,

I know this post is old but I just came across it.  My 3rd great grandmother was Margaret Codyre.  She married Stephen Curreen  6 Nov 1813 in Rahoon.  They had the following children; Stephen bapt. 1820, Thomas bapt. 1822, James bapt. 1825, Peter (my 2nd ggrandfather) bapt. 1829, John bapt. 1830 and Sarah bapt. 1833.  All baptism records are from Polleeny, Rahoon execpt Sarah, who was Knockanavody, Rahoon.  I have no other records for Margaret Codyre.  Her 2 sons Peter and Stephen immigrated to Portsmouth, Virginia.  I have no info on the other siblings or her husband Stephen. 

Does this sound familiar to anyone? 

Hi Kim,

Thank you for taking time to share information here.  It is first time I have heard of a Margaret Codyre and Stephen Curreen.  I looked up and noticed that the death date for Stephen Curreen was 1840 in Polleeny, Rahoon, but no source, unfortunately.  Their children, Stephen Curreen/Curran married Ellen Flood.  Some of Stephen's and Ellen's children migrated to Illinois from Virginia as far as I can tell.  Peter and his family remained in Virginia area for a long while.  

As you probably knew, the records are very limited before 1864 in Ireland.  Have you done DNA?  Sometimes, DNA helps for us to figure out how we are connected.

Hope this helps.

Hi Roni,

Thank you for your response.  I found a death record of Stephen Curreen 24 Dec 1841 in Rahoon on RootsIreland, but have no way of verifying if it is my Stephen. Where did you find the 1840 date? 

 I have done DNA.  I am on Ancestry as KA Curran.  I also uploaded to MyHeritage and Gedmatch.

Hi Tina,

I notice you asked about "Aiskeyboy". If you read the book "Galway Bay" by Mary Pat Kelly  I believe you will find a description of "Aiskeyboy"

Hello.

I am Suzanne McLain (USA), 78. I was first introduced to my Codyre family through Roni Lepore (see above posts) on the Ancestry site. My paternal grandfather is James Joseph O’Neill, son of Michael O’N and Bridget Codyre, b 1873 near Boleybeg. James emigrated to NYC about 1888, married Ismy Letitia Kelly, had 11 children, and died in 1927. My mother was Edith Veronica, James’ youngest child. I will be visiting family graves at New Rahoon Cemetery in mid-October and attending mass at St. Joseph’s I wonder if relatives still live on Henry Street or in the area? I research and write about what I think I know of the family.If you care to read: Suzannemclainrosenwasser.substack.com. I have been gifted a genealogy session at the EPIC in Dublin - anyone care to contribute questions I should ask?

Hi,

I am just catching up with all of this great Codire/Codyre info!

My Thomas Codire was born 1838 in Rahoon, and died 1866 in Waltham, MA, USA. Came to the US in 1853 where he married a Margaret Folan/Foley in East Boston in 1854.

I have his parents as Thomas Codire and Mary Kate Faherty/Kyne, but now I'm wondering if his real parents could be Patrick Codyre and Margaret Gilloway?

Does anyone have any more information?

Thank you so much!

Janice

Hi Kim,

Got a notification that someone posted a message here on the board and saw your message from 6 years ago.  Eck!  It looks like correct death year for Stephen Curren is 24 Dec 1841.  I think 1840 came from one of public trees, but without a source.

I checked Ancestry, My Heritage and GEDMatch with my mother's and my DNA and couldn't find a match with your account name - KA Curran.  

Roni

Hi Dave,

Thank you for providing the title of a book, ""Galway Bay" by Mary Pat Kelly which mentioned Aiskeyboy.  I just added it to my list to be read. 

Many thanks,

Roni

Hi Janice!

I have Thomas Codyre and Margaret Folan in my family tree.  Margaret Folan was his 2nd wife and his first wife may be Bridget/Delia Kane/Cain.  Thomas, Delia and Catherine Jane Codyre arrived on the "Empire" ship in 1853.  Delia may died between 1853 and 1854 before Margaret Folan's marriage to Thomas Codyre in 1854.  

My mother and I have DNA connection with Thomas Codyre and Margaret Folan's descendants, so Thomas' parents were Thomas Coydre of Boherard and Mary Kate ? but unverified.

The child, Thomas Codyre, of Patrick Coydre and Margaret Gillaway married Mary Kyne.  Thomas and Mary remained in Rahoon Parish.  Thomas and Mary lived in Mincloon where my grandfather's family lived - The Colleran Family.  Hope the information helps.  

If you would like to get an invitation to view my family tree via Ancestry, please send me a message.    

Cheers, Roni

Hello Suzanne!

So happy to see you finding this place with gem information.  So stoked for your trip to Ireland in a few weeks!  

I visited New Rahoon Cemetery several times.  They do not have an office.  Find A Grave website is a good source to locate our relatives' final resting place.  It is not easy to locate them if their memorial page does not come with GPS coordination.  St. Joseph's on Presentation Road is lovely church!  No living relatives live on Henry Street as far as I know, but I am more than happy to connect you with living relatives who are related to Thomas John Colleran - son of James Colleran and Bridget O'Neill and to Clancy/O'Neill branch.  

Our family - The Colleran Family continues to run the store in Galway City - The Colleran's Locksmiths.  Before that, it was family's bicycle repair shop where my grandfather along with some of his brothers worked.  I have some more information - I will send you an email to connect you before you depart for Eire.  

It is a lovely gift - Here are a couple of question for your trip to EPIC  - 

1) I wonder if they have some maps of the Rahoon Parish back in 1800's to 1920's especially of Keeraun, Mincloon, Boleybeg, Ballinew Colttage and several more.  

2) Bridget O'Neill's father, Michael O'Neill, was not found in the Griffith's Valuation.  I am curious if they can locate him.  

Have a great time in Ireland!  

Cheers, Roni

Roni,

Thank you so much for the info! My mother and I are descendants of Thomas Codyer and Margaret Folan as well. 

I would love to view your tree! 

Thanks,

Janice
