Seeking info on Thomas McMahon, whom worked as a butcher in Newtownbutler, had a daughter Eliza McMahon married WIlliam Kirkwood, Eliza would be my gg grandmother, & Thomas my ggg grandfather...Would appreciate any & all info on my relatives...Thankyou
Kim:
Can you provide some dates for Eliza and Thomas in order to allow a volunteer to see if they can assist. Since Thomas was your ggg grandfather , I assume you are going back to the early 1800s.

Hi Roger.......That would be awesome, and very much appreciated
All this info I got from different web sites for Ireland
Thomas McMahon - DOB - approx 1789.born in Meath, Dublin....death - 1869 age 80 in Tralee, Ireland
I believe he married a Margaret McNamara, but not too sure
Their daughter Eliza McMaghon - DOB - 1829 - death - Oct 8, 1878 in Queensland she married William Kirkwood DOB - 1816, he may have died at the age of 76 1894 in Magherafelt
Eliza has a brother Patrick, he married Susan MacGuire in Galloon, he died in 1922, is
buried in Galloon Cemetary
Eliza & William were married on Dec 22,1851 in Galloon, Co of Ferm
Children -
Sarah Kirkwood - DOB June 12,1864 in Scotstown, Co of Monaghan
Baby boy - DOB - June 1,1866 in Scotstown, CO of Monaghan
Sophia Kirkwood - DOB - April 11,1869 in Scotstown, Co of Monaghan
William Kirkwood - DOB - Feb 8, 1872 in Scotstown, Co of Monaghan
Sarah (ggmother) married Thos Briggs(ggfather) DOB - Oct,31,1862, death - May 29,1925, and to
find out he is buried in a cemetary 5 klm's from me was quite shocking, he was widowed at time of death when and where they married in Ireland ?, they had one daughter born in Co of Monaghan
May 5,1883-84 named Sarah shortly thereafter left Ireland on a ship arriving in Montreal, PQ, where
they had 4 more children before moving to New Brunswick, where they had 2 more children, the last
born son Allan is my grandfather - Died in 1957 2 years before I was born, I hear he was quite a ball player, he was drafted by a major USA baseball team, but had to decline to marry my grandmother who was with child...........
So this is what I have so far, it's very time consuming, but soooooooo interesting,
thankyou to whom ever is able to further my family search
Regards - Kim
Kim:
I found two death index records ( below) at www.familysearch.org A death index record for Thomas in 1869 and a death index record for William Kirkwood in 1892. To get copies of these records, you would have to contact the GRO www.groireland.ie fill out there form, provide the quarter/year of death ( or year in Thomas' case) registration district and the volume and page numbers. Costs around 4 euros each.
