Fordes from Fenagh Parish

LeitrimFenagh (Leitrim)

New London CT

Can anybody help sort the Fordes from Muckros, Derrinkip and Kiltyfannon?

Are they related? And can you explain the relationship.

Brothers seem to be Patrick, Felix and Terence. "Pat" could have been their father, since he is in the earlirst Griffith's Valuations

Patrick, Felix and Terence were born circa 1820.

Three boys seem small for an Irish family. Does anyone know by legend if they had any sisters, since this is before Catholic Church registry and civil registration.

Many thanks,

Hi Peggie
Here's a recotrd from www.rootsireland.ie/ (subscription site)

Name: Patrick Ford Date of Birth:
Date of Baptism: 20-May-1826
Address: Parish/District: FENAGH ROMAN CATHOLIC
Gender: Male County Co. Leitrim
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: George Ford Mother: Bridget Ford

I couldn't find the brothers or any other siblings I'm afraid.

Peggie:

The 1833 Tithe Applotment listing for Fenagh civil parish shows three Forde entries: a George and Patrick in Kiltyfinnan (the George is likely the father shown in the record Col sent to you) and a Patrick in Muckros Beg which may be the same Patrick listed in Kiltyfinnan.

The Fenagh RC records start in 1825 so possibly your ancestors were born before that year which would mean that no records are available. Also, there are no records between October 1829 and November 1834.

The National Library of Ireland is placing all RC parish registers online for free searching on July 8th. Fenagh parish is in the Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnoise. Below are the records available. You will note that there are death records for this parish which is not a common occurrence.
