Maddens of Galway

Hi Mary

There are 6 birth/baptism records of Margaret Maddens born 1830 + - 5 years but none in exactly 1830 on www.rootsireland.ie/

Of the six, two have a father named Patrick but none has mother Minogue or Catherine; 1 is 1829 & 1 1832

Unfortunately neither is from Kilconley Parish. (Kilcooney is not listed)

I assume you are aware of the Bartels-Goold & Lane Bixler tree on nacestry which has pictures of Margaret & husband Martin White

No luck on irishgenealogy or Family Search either I'm afraid

However there is better news in the Tithe Applotments 1823-37 which are free online

http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/results.jsp?surname=Madden&firstname=&county=Galway&townland=&parish=&search=Search&sort=&pageSize=&pager.offset=50

There are 2 Patrick Maddens in Kilcooney 1830 Townland - the parish is Clonrush

This will give you an address for the family in 1830

So, back to rootsireland to see if one of the baptisms was from Clonrush but it isn't in the list!!

rootsireland also has 3 birth/baptism records for James Madden with father Patrick:

1830 (twin?)  1831  & 1837 

Now another search for mother Minogue to narrow down the 3 brought no matches but first name Catherine did: 1831

It costs to view the full record on rootsireland but it will have the parish and MAYbe the parents' names.
