McNeice Family

MayoBallysakeery (Mayo)

Hi, I am looking for ancestors of James McNeice, born (records vary) 1817, 1818, or 1819 in Ireland and immigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1842. His wife was Ann (probably a Brown) born July 19, 1841 in Ireland. I have deduced that he is likely from the Civil parish of Ballysakerry Mayo.

They had children Thomas (1860-1897), Myriam (Marie, 1862-1902), Emmy J. "Amy" (1864-), George (1865-1916), John Alexander (1866-) Ellen Elizabeth (1867-), Joseph (1870-1955) and Rueben (1872-).

I have been unable to find a connection to Ireland as of yet and hardly know where else to start. I stumbled upon this site today.

My husband is of the family of Joseph McNeice, who settled in Lumsden, Saskatchewan, Canada area.

Any information you might be able to provide is gratefully accepted.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The RC records for Ballysakeery parish do not start until late 1843. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0744

I did check the 1829 Tithe Applotment records for Ballysakeery and there was a Thomas McNish listed in Mullygarry townland which possibly is McNeice. Also I note that the oldest grandson was Thomas possibly named after his grandfather.

Methodist Religion - McNeice

I'm sorry, I should have said they were Protestant - most of the early ones were Methodist.

You may want to contact the Methodist church in Ballina to see if they know if records are avalable for the early 19th century.

I can't register at the above (only way to contact them) because it keeps saying "empty solution not allowed" and I don't know what that means. I keep changing things, including on the password to try and circumvent that message but nothing is successful. Have you another way I could contact the Methodist church in Ballina?

I would try to e-mail the Rev. Taylor at the address below.

Note: I found a way around it (the above problem I had) and have sent an email to them.

Thanks, will contact Rev Stephen Taylor.

Thanks for your help!

I've tried emailling Rev Stephen Taylor twice now, and not received any reply.

Does anyone have any other suggestions about how I could connect the McNeice family in Ireland? They were Methodists.
