Hi Roger,

I hope that you are well.

I visited Ireland and Windgap in November but didn't really find out anymore information.I thought that by visiting the church I might be able to find some information but as there was a wedding taking place I wasn't able to do so.

I have been searching through the baptism records and believe that I have found 2 more siblings of his. The last sibling was: 

NLI pg 105

Name: Patt Tobin:
Date of Baptism:16-Apr-1833 Address:Mealagh Parish/   District:          Gender:        Male   CountyCo.Cork?
Denomination: Roman Catholic

Priest :M Phelan
Father: James Tobin Mother: Bridget Maher Occupation:
Sponsor 1 /
Informant 1:William Grace Sponsor 2 /Bridget Daily

I am assuming that Mealagh isin county cork but am not sure which parish it is in, would you be able to advise me please.

There are no more records of any more births after this and I am wondering if they stayed in Mealagh or if they moved elsewhere. Have you any suggestions where to look next please.

Thank you for all of your help.

Kathy

Hi Roger,

I hope that you and your wife had a lovely time touring around Ireland in November and didn't come across too much mist.

Thank you for the above information.

I was wondering if although the record was found in the :

Windgap | Microfilm 05023 / 01http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000631967#page/105/mode/1up

 

If it would refer to Mealagh in Cork as my Father's family have always believed that there was a Cork connection or am I just completely going off the track?

Good day:) This Michael Tobin is an interesting possibility. Birthdate, and location seem OK Problem is all I know is that he came over from Ireland as a young boy. Have no known siblings, and wife's name was given as a Mary Ellen Callaghan. BUt I have no BPM's to prove such. All I know for sure is he had at least one son; James Buchanan Tobin born ca 1862. Family lived in NYC and later Queens. James married Kate or Catherine Tobin ca 1885. Had many children:)
