Need Information on

OffalyReynagh (Offaly)

Ireland Reaching Out - www.irelandxo.comI am looking for help finding out information on the family of John Patrick Madden born in Offlay sometime between 1824-27 in the Banagher area.  We know he had a sister, Elizabeth and possibly sibblings James, Patrick, Michael and Catherine.  They all immigrated to the United States in the 1840's-50's and settled in Toledo, Ohio.  It has taken me several years to confirm that John and Elizabeth came from Offlay and probably Banagher but cannot confirm the sibblings and do not know their parent's names.  Any information anyone might be able to give me about the Madden families in that area in that time period would be greatly appreciated.  I have attached a picture of John Patrick Madden in later life.

There are 36 Maddens in Offaly (King's county) in the Tithe Applotments (free online) in the 1830's but only 1 in Banagher - Thomas.

There are 149 in the 1821 Irish Census (free online) in King's but no mention of Banagher!
