McCabe early 1800's

MonaghanKilmore (Monaghan)

I have been looking for any information on a family memberI believe to have been from Kilmore Parish in County Monaghan.

Specifically I am looking for information on James McCabe who married Bridget Trainer. I am not sure of his birth, but believe it to be around 1801 - 1804. I believe they had 3 children John, Michael and Margaret. John was born in 1828 and left Ireland around 1858 and settled in central Illinois. Michael I believe to have been born around 1837. I do not have a date on Margaret.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to anyone who may be able to help me obtain more information.

Unfortunately, baptismal records for that Drumsnat/Kilmore parish do not start until 1875 (marriages start in 1836).

I did check the 1825 Tithe Applotment records for Kilmore parish and there were 15 McCabe records including two James McCabe. http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?…

The 1861 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilmore parish showed three James McCabe records. If your ancestor was still alive in 1861 then he could be one of the three. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths/monaghan/kilmore.htm

I have information of two of James McCabe and Bridget (nee Trainer) daughters:

Margaret, who married Charles Mosbey in Victoria, Australia

Catherine, who married John O'Connor in New Zealand.

I also have many DNA matches to their descendants and my 2nd Great Grandfather, James McCabe

Happy to help you.
