Glass/Johnston Family 1800's

OffalyEglish (Offaly)

I am searching for information on my 4th Great Grandfather and Mother - James Glass b. 1810 Clones, Monaghan. Maria Johnston b 1820

They were married on Feb 6, 1834 Eglish, Armagh, Northern Ireland. I know that they came to America with their children - Maria L, William L and Martha on the St. George which left from Liverpool and arrived at NY on April 8, 1847.

I have been struggling to find any earlier information on them and was hoping someone might be able to help me out or point me in the right direction.

Hi Emily

Here's James's baptism record from www.rootsireland.ie/:

James GlassDate of Birth:

Date of Baptism:23-Dec-1810Address:Clones TownParish/District:CLONESGender:
CountyCo. Monaghan

Denomination:Church Of Ireland
Father:Daniel GlassMother:Elizabeth Browne

I couldn't find any siblings for James or the parents' marriage record

This could be Maria's given that she would have been 19 rather than 14 when married and as the wedding was in Armagh assumedly she was from there:

Maria JohnstonDate of Birth:20-Aug-1815

Date of Baptism:1-Jan-0Address:GirvaghyParish/District:ARMAGH CIGender:UnknownCountyARMAGH

Denomination:Church Of Ireland
Father:Samuel JohnstonMother:Maria Johnston

No luck with siblings or the marriage record.

I couldn't find either father in the Tithe Applotments or the early Irish Censuses
