All
those holding property in Mohill in 1856 are listed here.
-
Jane Lyons has been busy - she has some extracts from the RC register of
Baptisms from the 1830s, 1940s here
- The Leitrim-Roscommon site also has maps
of the
Baronies,
Civil Parishes,
Roman Catholic Parishes and
Poor Law Unions in County Leitrim - this is
important since Mohill is the name of all four. -
Up to the end of the nineteenth century, counties were subdivided into
baronies - check out the maps of
Leitrim from 1885 or 1892 to see the barony boundaries or click on the map
at right.
There are two types
of parishes, the civil parish and the
church (or ecclesiastical) parish. These are not the same and should not be
confused. The Church of Ireland and the Roman Catholic Church had separate
parish systems. The Civil Parish
was the original unit of administration of the medieval church in Ireland and
was used right up to the end of the nineteenth century for local and central
government. Since the Church
of Ireland was the Established Church, its parish boundaries were sometimes
the same as the civil parishes. The civil
parish is an important boundary for land and taxation purposes. It is also the
boundary used to catalogue many Irish records.
Civil Parishes adjoining Mohill are Annaduff, Kiltoghert, Kiltubrid,
Fenagh and Cloone.
Roman Catholic parishes adjoining Mohill are Annaduff, Kiltoghert,
Kiltubrid, Fenagh, Cloone, Gortletteragh and Bornacoola.
See the map at right.
.
Another division,
Poor Law Unions, describe an area serving workhouses set up from
the 1830s on to try to deal with the poor and destitute. They became the bases of
the registration districts used for state records of births, marriages and
deaths.
Townlands are the smallest administrative unit in Ireland. A townland
is an area comprising anywhere between a few acres and several thousand acres
- Townlands have specific boundaries which were officially surveyed in the
1830s by the Ordnance Survey. See the map below for locations of the 127
townlands in Mohill RC parish.
- The Catholic parishes of Leitrim are also
mapped
on Ireland.com - Clicking on Mohill tells you the records available for Mohill RC
Parish (here)
-
The Civil Parish of Mohill Co. Leitrim
is coextant with the combined RC parishes of Mohill and Bornacoola shown in
the map above/right. Note that
Bornacoola was split off from Mohill Parish in 1788.
The table below identifies the townlands in the Civil Parish of Mohill. (Those
Highlighted in
Yellow are in Mohill RC Parish and are shown on the
map - those
highlighted in Green are in Bornacoola RC Parish) - note that the townland-numbering scheme is the same as
that used on the Leitrim-Roscommon website.

Paul Barnett - seeks information on the Crowes of Lisdadanan and
Thompsons/Hunts from Clooncumber
My great great grandmother was a Isabella Crowe from Lisdadanan b1844
d1897 and she married Francis Thompson, a farmer from Clooncumber. I know
her father was Francis Crowe b1789 d1847. I am trying to find out what
happended to the Crowes of Lisdadanan since I believe there are no Crowes
living there any more. I am also trying to find out how Isabella is
connected to the Crowes who lived there per the 1901 and 1911 census.
There were 2 Crowe farms in 1901 (William Crowe b1845 and family and
William Arthur Crowe b1881 and family). They are most probably related but
I don't know if they were father and son or more distantly related. In
1911 it appears only the older William Crowe and family lived there. Any
Crowes or relatives out there who can help would be much appreciated.
Contact XXX-paulwbarnett@hotmail.com
In the same vain as above, are there any descendants of the Thompsons from
Clooncumber who can help me with some family research. I am aware that
Francis Thompson b1841 d 1902 passed the farm to his daughter Susan b1879
and husband William Hunt b1869 d1956 but I don't think they had any
children so wondered who the farm passed to? Also what happened to
Francis' siblings Frances and Robert - I think there may be a Farnaught
connection since Robert has this on his marriage certificate and there is
a Thomas Thompson (brother?) and family here per the 1911 census. Any
information on the Thompsons/Hunts would be much appreciated. Contact XXX-paulwbarnett@hotmail.com

Jeff Drum (XXX-drumnz@gamil.com) is Looking for information on my Irish
Great-Great-Grandparents. Patrick Drum married Mary McGarty
(sometimes spelt McCarty) on 9 June 1860 at Mohill Church, Leitrim
(probably Catholic Church as they were both Catholics). They had 2 sons
James & John both born in Ireland but where is unconfirmed although we
believe Patrick's family was from Enniskillen, Fermanagh and that they
possibly lived there after their marriage (Patrick was a Stonemason). They
left Ireland on 31 December 1864 from Dublin for New Zealand. Other than
their wedding date and confirmation of the vessel they left on we are
unable to confirm much more. From family records we know Patrick's parents
to be Edward and Susannah (maiden name unknown) and Mary's parents to be
Patrick & Margaret (nee Murray). We believe Patrick McGarty/McCarty was a
farmer in Leitrim. Any information about this family, in particular,
family ties to Drum's & McGarty's in Ireland would be appreciated. Many
thanks

Brandon Thacker (XXX-bthacker801@juno.com) writes: Patrick Reynolds(b.1809)
married Mary Toole (b. 1810) about 1830 and had the following
children before dying in 1849: Laurence Reynolds (d.1898 Chicago), Peter(d.
1877 Manchester), John (d.1903 Manchester), Mary Ann (d.1904 Manchester),
Patrick (d.prior to 1901 - Manchester), and William(d.1934 Manchester).
After emigrating to England they finally became quite prosperous in the
dye and dry cleaning business. They visited their relatives in Mohill to
escape the depressing English weather.
Seems that Mary's brother, William O'Toole, was the subject of this
paragraph in a 1879 letter, "Brother William's crop was very good. If he
got three weeks good weather he would be at no loss, his land is so rocky
and dry. He is very comfortable. He has 3 Sons and 2 Daughters. One son is
in a grocers shop in Mohill. His oldest Son is a very nice young man and
the oldest Daughter went out to America 4 years ago to her uncles, her
mother's brother, to Kentucky. They are very well off and she sent a lot
of money home. Their name is Shannon."
If there be relatives yet in Mohill, please contact me. I would love to
know the birth order of the sons as this would help me figure out the
names of the grandfathers.
Thanks in advance for any information.

- Edward Stewart (XXX-erstewart@gmail.com ) writes:
My great great grandparents were Famine immigratns from Leitrim, parish
and townland unknown.
He was Patrick S. Wren (Wrenn, Rinn, Reen, Wrin etc. not sure what
the S. stood for though he frequently used it - none of his known sons
have given names beginning with S - other Wren emigrants were named
Stephen and Simon). He was born in Leitrim 1824-25 and died NYC 1898. His
parents may have been named Patrick and Ann but I am doubtful as then his
children do not follow the Irish naming pattern. He first appears in the
1850 Census in NYC with his wife, Ann.
She was born Annie Murray, in Leitrim abt 1829, parents believed to
have been John Murray and Catherine Hackett. She had a
brother William Henry Murray in NYC. THeir known children in order are
William Henry b 1851, John Joseph b 1853, Thomas, Mary, Jane 1861, Annie
1864, James Edward 1871, and Francis Patrick 1873.
Surnames of the godparents of their children include Callaghan, Conboy,
Gray, McKeon, Geelan, and Shanley. I would just like to establish
where in Leitrim Patrick and Ann were from.

MaryRose (XXX-greystgurl@yahoo.com) I am looking for the
Gallaghers and Reynolds of Leitrim. My great-great grandfather
William Reynolds married Bridget Gallagher. Her parents were
Catherine and Farrell Gallagher. I can find William,
Bridget, Kate and Rose and Farrell and
Catherine on the 1901 Census. I can't seem to go further back than
that. William and Bridget had 5 children that I know of: I believe the
Reynolds side lived in Mohill. It is also rumored that he was in a band
called the Mohill Band?
1) William Joseph Reynolds (my great-grandfather)-he was a Baker and born
in 1870 immigrated to NYC in 1899. In 1910 he married Mary Joseph Sullivan
from County Kerry. Died in the Bronx NY 1955
2) Frank Reynolds, believed to have moved to Australia.
3) Mary Ann Reynolds born abt. 1881 immigrated to NYC
4) Catherine (Kate) Reynolds born abt. 1882 was a Seamstress never left
Ireland
5) Rose Reynolds born abt. 1883 also a seamstress. Never left Ireland. The
Reynolds family supposedly owned a bakery and worked in a Candy shop. I
was told that either Rose or Kate had 2 sons that moved to NYC. Don't know
their names. I know most about William's life being that he was my great
grandfather, but none of his bros and sis. I also don't know anything
about his parents. William Reynolds who married Mary Joseph Sullivan took
his entire family back to Ireland in November of 1920 and was there till
March of 1921. They brought all 7 children with them in 1920. Their
childrens names were: William Francis,Catherine Mary, Daniel, Mary Rose
(my grandmother), James Joseph, Peter Vincent and Michael Vincent
Reynolds. In 1972 or 73 My grandmother MaryRose and her brothers and
sisters went back to Ireland to visit family in Mohill and Kerry. All 7
are now deceased. So I am hoping that someone will remember them somehow
even though it has been 30+ years since the visit. Thanks. (Feb 05)

Grandfather. Francis Rynn / Mary McGovern(?) - daughter Mary
Rynn (born Ireland - died Scotland 1888) Mary is my 2nd Great Grandmother
& married to Hugh. My gut feeling is that all of the above couples lived &
worked near each other & either all moved to Scotland, or sent their
children to Scotland and they remained in Ireland and died there. Cannot
fathom out how / when they moved to Scotland as all immigration records
show USA, Europe, Australia. - or what port they left from - Donegal /
Dublin / Belfast?? I am really grateful for any information. Many thanks
