IS ANYONE RESEARCHING THE WIDER CANTILLON/CANTLON etc. FAMILIES? HELP NEEDED.

Kerry

UPDATING my Catherine CANTILLON/CANTULON/CANTILEN/CANTLON etc. from KERRY.

She named her father as PATRICK, with brothers PATRICK & JOHN and sisters HONORA, BRIDGET, MARY, ELLEN. 

I will try to copy this open board message to there also.

She was a famine convict, on the ship 'Midlothian', in 1853. Born circa 1835

The third last convict ship, ever, to Van Diemen's Land (TASMANIA) AUSTRALIA.

She married William CLARK/E

I descend from their eldest daughter Jane.

I have tested on FTDNA, MY HERITAGE and ANCESTRY.

One of my cousins from another daughter, Catherine/Kate had corresponded with a BARRY & CANTILLON descendant in the 1990's. who was certain we were from the same family.

I finally managed to contact another member from the same CANTILLON line two years ago and was provenly assured we were NOT from their BARNABY CANTILLON line.

 

It now seems, my cousin's first guess of the family from FARRAN, in the civil parish of KILLURY, KERRY is correct.

Namely PATRICK CANTLON  who married KATHERINE DOOLIN

At the Parish church, CAUSEWAY, on 18 November, 1816, by the Rev Denis TEHAN.

Patrick's father may be JOHN.  Katherine's parents are given as PARTICK DOOLIN & ELLEN FERRIS

Katherine's baptism was 1796 in Causeway. (Don't have the date to hand.)

The family given below, add two more children.  MARGARET & RICHARD.

 

This year on Ancestry I have suddenly gained THREE DNA matches to a CANTLON family in America.

They name their ancestors who came to America as JOHN PATRICK CANTLON known as PATRICK and wife MARGARET CRONIN.

Son of the above named Patrick Cantlon and Katherine Doolin. Baptised 10 May 1830 at Causeway. 

JOHN PATRICK CANTLON died on 1 November, 1914, COLUMBUS, OHIO, USA. 

They give a son JOHN PAUL CANTLON born 29 August, 1866 in the same place.  

His descendants are my matches.

 

I have researched a little and I believe the eldest son JOHN stayed in Kerry. 

I believe he is the JOHN baptised 26 May, 1817 - and I believe he may be the John who died 2 July, 1870, Causeway, Kerry.

 

All help and advice will be much appreciated,

Wynnette Ford, nee, and known as, Wynnette MANSFIELD on all my DNA and Facebook Genealogy sites.

Hello there, you have an amazing amount of information here and much of it is obviously correct - however, the DNA records are obviously much more solid as confirmation.

I would suggest that your best bet is to search each of these links as far as 2nd-3rd cousins and from this you might go onto the 4th.

Use Roots = https://rootsireland.ie/ifhf/index.php ;   and https://irishnewsarchive.com/

https://www.failteromhat.com/lo1876.htm ; (land owners)  and  https://members.pcug.org.au/~ppmay/cgi-bin/irish/irish.cgi

I will have a closer look at the details that you have given and will let you know if I find anything over what you have already and meantime, I wish you sincere good luck in your DNA searching. Please do let me know how you progress.

Dear Jennifer Jean,

Thank you so much for your reply and offer of help.

It is very much appreciated.

I will email you and send a couple of Family Group Sheets for reference.

But before doing that, I will explore the links you have so kindly sent.

 

Unfortunately, I have to copy hyperlinks, as our computer has an ongoing glitch that will not let me click direct.

I have just done that, put them in an email to myself, and can now actually read them.

(The faint blue links in your message, I found very hard to see, let alone read.  Growing cataracts.)

 

Having now read them, I believe some I have not accessed, as they are paid sites, and unfortunately, unless they have cheaper, short-term options, I may not be able to afford any subscription as I am a Senior Pensioner. 

But I will certainly look at what they may offer now. 

The monetary cost has continually frustrated me over the years.

I 'finally' took out a six month reduced subscription to Ancestry early this year, but due to changing family circumstances occurring since, am finding I have little free time to fully utilise it.

And a cousin in the USA, most kindly gave me a six month subscription to papers.com, for Christmas, which I found to my sadness, produced few Irish results, and is NOT searchable by name in the 18th Century newspapers they have, that our mutual Pennsylvania family could be mentioned in.

I will email you as soon as I have explored all you have kindly sent, along with the group sheets attached.

Gratefully yours, 

Wynnette.

Born, Tasmania, Australia, now living in Queensland, Australia.
