James Monahan was married to a Mary. 1850 censis in Maine USA shows them in New Limerick Maine. Birthplace was listed as Ireland. I'm guessing James came from the County of Monaghan. Thanks for any help! Steve
Hi Steve
I couldn't find the census listing you mentioned so can you provide a birth year for him please.

Hi Col,
The cenus is from 1850 (State Maine / County Aroostook / Town New Limerick). It has James age at 31... so that would make his date of birth around 1819. It also lists his wife Mary age of 30 ( + 4 childeren). And intersting note... he traveled over to the US with another family (Patrick Fleming) noted in 1845 book (History of Aroostook, Vol 1 Erdward Wiggin: Higginson Books Salem MA 1922).
Thanks for all the help!
I just made a trip over to Ireland (Dublin) last week. My first time! That's how I discovered this website.

There are no James Monahan birth/baptisms 1819 + - 1 year on www.rootsireland.ie/
However there are 8 in other countise: 4 in Meath & 1 in Cavan Kildare Laois & Longford
The Laois 1 is 1820 but the rest are 1818 & 1819
