Resources

Trying to trace Leitrim or Mohill ancestors? There are lots of things you can do before your visit - check the following sites:

  • Leitrim Genealogy Centre at the County Library, Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim
    If you are overseas and seeking information about ancestors, then contact the people at the genealogy centre.  They will be able to help you!
     
  • This is the best genealogy site there is! LEITRIM-ROSCOMMON Home Page - genealogy and Parish Map, census, surname, townlands database etc.
    • These people also have on line the 1901 census for Leitrim - so you can see who was alive at that time - click  here - for example, it is possible to find out who was alive in Mohill Civil Parish at that time - by the way, it shows 1333 households.

    • 1856: The Griffiths valuation for Co. Leitrim was published -
      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.

  2. 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 (09/10)

  34. 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

  38. 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.

  45. 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.

  83. 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)

I have researched some names, but would be most grateful if you could help me further: I will list their names as couples - Terence Dolan / Alison Gilday(or Gildea) - son Francis Dolan (born Ireland 1819 - died Scotland 1877) Francis is my 2nd Great Grandfather. Myles Lee / Bridget Dolan -daughter Mary Lee (born Ireland 1825 - died Scotland 1865) Mary is my 2nd Great Grandmother & married to Francis. Charles Flynn / Nancy Dollan or Dolan -son Hugh Flynn (born Ireland 1823 - died Scotland 1863) Hugh is my 2nd Great 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??
