Hello, New to this site. I am related to John Pue & Elizabeth Jane Shannon. I visited Ireland in the summer of 2019 & stopped at The North Mayo Heritage Site & learned a lot of information. I would love to speak to anyone with more information to connect some dots. Thank you so very much & Take Good Care, Charlie - Seattle WA - USA

Hi Charlie,

My 2x great grandfather was Robert Pue. I have very little on his family. When I started researching him, I found a birth certificate for a Robert Pue born 1810 County Mayo parents John Pue and Elizabeth Shannon. He was the only Robert Pue I saw when researching for him. He went to County Leitrim and married my 2x great grandmother who was Catholic and all the children were raised Catholic. 

He was said to have been disowned by the family when he married Mary in July of 1846. Unfortunately they did not put the names of he parents on their marriage certificate so the only thing I have is his, maybe, birth certificate. He was a stone mason as was all of his sons.

The moved from County to County and then finally settled in Sligo where my great grandfather was born, Henry.

Supposedly, many years later, my great grandfather who emigrated here to NY, showed up on a work site and was hired. He was having lunch with one of the workers and the worker commented on him having the same name as the bosses (or owners). My great grandfather came to find out that this site was being run by his cousins and he walked off the site. He told my great grandmother he would never work for them. We are guessing because of what happened with his father and because the cousins themselves were Church of Ireland (and free masons) and he wanted none of that. It is a story passed down. True, maybe, I'm still searching. We never ever knew that Pue was Protestant. This just shocked the family. My grandmother said her mother would talk about Ireland all the time and her family, her father would not. He said America was his home and that was it. 

Would love to hear what you have. I am hoping that my Robert Pue is the same Robert Pue that belonged to John and Elizabeth. Would be great to finally find out.

Have a great day!

Hi Kathy, are you still there? I have not heard back from you. Thanks

 

Hi Charlie,

Sorry, work is keeping me very busy right now so I had to put my research to the side for a bit. Will reach out to you when things slow down at work.

Stay safe and have a good day.
