Donaghmoyne Gr-Gr Grandparent Help Request - Ward, Martin

I remember when Ireland Reaching Out was new, and I was very excited and hugely impressed with the pure brilliance of the idea behind it! Now I have enough information that I think I can reasonablyask for help.

I'm looking for information for BRIDGET MARTIN AND JAMES WARD of Donaghmoyne (townland unknown). Here is what I have so far.

Great-great granparents JAMES WARD 1816 - 1870 and BRIDGET MARTIN 1822-1880, married 1845 Donaghmoyne, Co Monaghan. Citation: rootsireland.ie Neither of their parents names are indicated. I know they were Roman Catholic. Their children were:

• Edward Ward Assume born Donaghmoyne

• 1843 1861

• Thomas Ward Assume born Donaghmoyne

• 1846 1892

• Owen Ward Assume born Donaghmoyne

• 1851 1892

• Anne Ward Born Donaghmoyne Citation: rootsireland.ie

• 1852 1911

The family moved to Kingston, Ontario, between 1853 and 1855. The couple had four more children in Kingston. James and Bridget are buried there.

Mary Anne Ward married John Joseph Farrell (Crowley) in Kingston, Ontario, in 1872.

I will be going to Co Monaghan about May 5, 2015, and would love to be able to research while there. Any little scraps of information or hints to go on would be immensely welcomed!
