Looking for info on Michael Mahon, born about 1840, married Catherine McNabola in 1860 in Kiltoghert RC Church and had 4 children. Widowed in 1867 and married Ellen Pagnam in 1869 in Drumshanbo RC Church and had 8 children. Michael's parents were Bernad Mahon and Catherine Cox. Any info on McNabola, Pagnam and/or Cox would be appreciated.
Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking in church records for information? Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Kiltoghert parish, follow this link:
As you can see from this link Leitrim Genealogy have some copies of these records. If you would like to email them here is their email address:info@leitrimroots.com Please note a fee may apply.
Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records online at:

You could also check for record of the family in the land records pertaining to Ireland in the 19th century. There are two:
The Tithe Applotment Books (1823-1838) found at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/home.jsp
and Griffith?s Valuation (1848-1864) found at http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/
Have you tried looking in the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any descendents recorded in the area at the time? You can do this here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
Some other websites that you may find useful are:
The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/
The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

I hope that some of this is helpful. Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
