I am looking for any information on Samuel Jemison (b. 1780 d. 1871) of Cookstown, County, Tyrone, married to Sara McComb (b. 1787 d. 1849). They had a farm called Agenhtarhn Farm. They raised seven children: Samuel and William (twins), James, Eliza, Thomas, Joseph, and Sara. Samuel, James Thomas, William, and Sara all left Ireland and went to America 1830-1840). Eliza and Joseph stayed in County Tyrone and raised families there. This is as far back as I have been able to trace this part of my family. I would appreciate any suggestions on where I might do some more researching to get some more information.

The Irish Times Digital Archive Free Until December 14 2009
The Irish Times digital archive, which contains exact reproductions of all articles published by The Irish Times from 1859 onwards, is available free until December 14 2009.

"For much of Easter Week 1916, The Irish Times was the only newspaper on the streets, even though, because of censorship and the breakdown of communications systems, its ability to report on the fighting was extremely limited. Apart from the proclamation of martial law, it filled its pages with "special articles of literary interest and some items of local events." By Saturday May 2nd, however, it was able to carry a headline on "The Sinn Féin Rising: Scenes And Incidents In Dublin Streets" along with a great deal of vivid detail. On Saturday May 13th, the Weekly Irish Times was published as a special triple issue, with extensive details of the fighting, lists of casualties, the names of prisoners sentenced and deported and photographs of the main protagonists. It achieved a "colossal" circulation and became a standard reference work on the history of the Rising"

I must admire Irish people...

Attention Beverly Simpson,
Re the Jemison family of Tyrone, Ireland may I suggest the you look at possible variations of this surname as well.
For example within in my One Name Study I have the following;
John Jameson born about 1825 Married Anne Grimason 3 Dec 1846 at Mullavilly, Armagh, Ireland.

Mary Jane Jameson born about 1838 at Drumnakelly, Armagh, Ireland Married Henry Grimason 7 Jan 1853 at Kilmore, Armagh, Ireland.

Dorthea Jamieson born 13 Jun 1920 USA, Married Samuel John Grimason about 1940, died 27 Dec 1977 at Haworth, New Jersey, USA

Margaret Jamieson living Married William John Grimason of Belfast, Antrim Ireland.

The above shows what I mean by looking at variations of the surname.
Good luck in your quest.

Just joined the group. Where do I find the "discussion folders" to add surnames?

"Jeremiah" and "William"

Has anybody ever been told if the two names are interchangeable in Irish genealogy?!? I can't remember where I once heard this, but found it incredible.

I could see Jerry and Jer substituting for Jeremiah. I could see Bill, Will, and Liam for William.

But never would I have surmised that a man in 1800's Ireland would interchange the two names.

Susan - I think you are correct in saying Jeremiah and William were not interchangeable. In fact, William tended to be a C of I or English name - for the English king.

This Jeremiah-William thing has me so stumped that after looking at the website What's In a Name, which is more oriented towards Scotland, I decided to order The Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names just to see what other pitfalls I might encounter.

That would make sense that William would go more with C of I families.

But there was a William Collins who witnessed my very Catholic Greatgranddad's and Greatgrandmom's wedding. He was probably the groom's oldest brother. Maybe a mysterious family black sheep?!? :) Hmm.

Conboy, Ballincurry, Roscommon, Ireland. We have 4 or 5 letters from there in the mid 1800's.

I am willing to help if you are looking for information about families from 1680 to 1900 county Cork and county Kerry Ireland.

Hi, I am looking for James Thompson, supposedly came to Canada with his brother, where they separated and lost touch. He married Dinah Bryon, who, it seems, came to Canada in 1849, possibly from Tyrone, Ireland. James also came from Ireland. I don't know if they were married prior to arriving here. But did start their family in early 1850's. He was born abt. 1828 and she abt. 1818.

libby mccann,there are 5 john loves listed in "Donegal Ancestry" all born in Donegal in these years,1797,1798,1800,1801,1803 and also a marriage in 1824.unfortunately each lookup costs 5 euros .Check out the site

I assume I have Irish ancestors as people always say I look Irish, not sure what they mean, as I have red hair/green eyes/ fair skin, I guess that's what Irish look like. My great grandpa Rivers had red hair. His father had black hair, I do not know what color hair his Mom had, but her maiden name was Sullivan. Her father and grandfather were in Green and Hardin Co., KY. in 1800's, and somewhere in Virginia before that. I believe William Sullivan wife's mother was Jane Mann and the Mann Family came from Ireland, but Mann doesn't even sound like an Irish name, I'm always looking for my Irish roots.

My Irish ancestors emigrated to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, before coming to the US. They were:
Henry and Ann Gibson, supposedly of County Fermanagh and Donegal
Dennis Cain
Catherine Mulhearn/Mulhains

I haven't found the exact immigration dates for them yet, but I'm still searching!

I would really appreciate some help if possible. I have been doing research on my own for about 8 months now. I am looking to find the place of birth for my husbands great grandfather. I have quite a bit of info but have hit a wall with the location. This is the info I already have:
Great Grandad:
Patrick J. Sullivan DOB 2/27/1861 Co. Cork
He arrived in Boston on 5/1/1883. The only ship I can find out of Ireland, Queenstown, that year to Boston is the Catalonia which stopped in Liverpool as well.
He was Naturalized 9/6/1890. He married Annie Mulcahey in 1895 and died in Portland Maine October of 1899.
His parents were Jeremiah Sullivan and Margaret Sullivan. I know this is a lot to ask for help but I am at a dead end and would REALLY love to get this done for my husband and his family. Please feel free to email me if you have any ideas or help.
Thanks a Ton!!!!

Where are the alphabetized folders and how do I get there? Thanks- sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm missing something.

I'm researching Howards, Fottrells, Fitzsimons, Dunnes, Dowds, Wheatley and Chambers families in North Dublin county, especially around Baldoyle and Malahide.

I'm looking for members of the Family Howard. I'm still researching in the United States; however, I've found Howard families in both Ireland and England and I'm wondering if a Howard family member has done research to the point that they have traced their Howard lines into the United States and would be willing to share that information with me.

Im looking for HARPER'S and KELLY families from DONEGAL

My ancestors in Ireland are the Hehirs/O'Hares of County Clare, Ireland.
I am always looking for more information on them and their reasons for moving from Ireland to England and then ultimately to the USA.

Thanks in advance if you have any info you can share on this group of ancestors of mine.

We are a bit stumped about my husbands GGG Grand parents.
Her name was Mary McCullough who was born at sea in possibly 1822 or before. Her fathers name was Thomas and wife Mary who we know were from Ireland. We think that they ported in PA. but are not sure.
There are several things we need to prove.
What ship they came on.
Documentation of Mary's birth at sea
Where in Ireland were they from and from that spot find ancestors of the family.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks

Surnames of interest: Gavin, Fitzgerald, Donalan, Delancey, and Flood.

I will be going to Ireland for genealogical research in October. The surnames I am researching: Treacy/Tracy and Delahunty from Co. Tipperary and Mountheaton, Co. Offaly -- Lynch and O'Shea/Shea from Cappyaughna & Glengarriff, Co. Cork -- McKenna, Halpin, Carrick, & Wolf from Arthurstown, Co. Louth. Other names of interest: Hickey, Murphy, Power, and Roache.

Researching Irish surnames: Horrigan, Sweeny, Green, Bonar

Kathleen--please ask around for Treacy/Tracy/Tracey that went to US/St. Louis, MO. Thanks, Charlie Almstedt

Researching Irish surnames from southwest County Cork, Ireland, in the Skibbereen and Baltimore area: Walsh, Minihane, Connolly, McCarthy, Sheehan, O'Brien, Hegarty, Harrington and many more.

Thomas Welsh(Welch, Walsh, Walch) m. Julia E. Shehan (Sheehan), I am researching my maternal 2xGreat Grandparents, both born in Ireland. It would appear they married before 1856 as the 1870 census shows them in Oil City, Venango Co., Pa. with their oldest child being Willie age 14 (born in Michigan). Although, since there is 8 years between Willie and my Great Grandmother Katie It is possible this could be a second marriage for Thomas. Does this ring a bell for anybody?

Pauline - my family was definitely Walsh, did not change the spelling to maintain the pronounciation - Thomas is seldom in my line of Walshes. My Ellen Walsh married a John Sheehan from Drinagh, Co Cork, and all my Walshes are from southwest Co Cork.

Barbara, I have just started to follow this family connection, it doesn't sound like we have the same people in common but I will let you know if I find they are from County Cork. Thank you for replying.
