Francis Reynolds of Mohill Leitrim

LeitrimMohill (Leitrim)

Francis or Frank Reynolds born abt 1834 in Mohill was my 2x great grandfather. His parents, according to his marriage certificate were John Reynolds (1810-66) and Anne Hart (1812-1874). Francis emigrated to Sydney , Australia aboard the "FitzJames", arriving on 20 February 1860. He married Catherine Maher (from Offaly) in Balmain, Sydney on 22 October 1868. Having searched Griffiths valuations and Census, I realise there are many. many Reynolds families in Mohill. However, in the hope that someone might know something more about Francis Reynolds or his parents, I am seeking your assistance. Francis was a "master dairyman" in Australia.

Hoping someone can help me.

Hi Barbara,

I've forwarded your query to a volunteer in County Leitrim who may be able to give you some advise or assistance.

 

All the best.

 Hi Barbara,  I too have a Francis Reynolds [3xgrt GF], born in Mohill, Leitrim who was born in about 1796 to unknown parents & died 1868. He had a son, Peter, born 1825 & Francis was married to Ann McCarthy [?] I too have been researching the many Reynolds families from Mohill & have been overwhelmed. I see there is still a Reynolds business in Glebe St., Mohill, where Francis & Ann had peroperty too. Same family pedigree?? Hope so.    I live in Perth western Australia, where Peter came to Fremantle in 1855 as a free settler.  I am also seeking help for Francis & Ann's parents or Pedigree. Thank you ...Debbie Stirk.
