I am researching the marriage of James Quinlan to Johanna Hanlon 29 Sept 1860 . They listed the parish as Causeway? They both came from Rattoo.  The priest was Rev J Enright. The witness was Michael Quinlan. I have where they lived in Washington DC  and am trying to find out when and where they died. Thier daughter Julia Quinlan married my Great Uncle John T Heffernan in Washington DC in 1902. If anyone needs help looking up genealogy stuff around the Davenport Iowa area, let me know at email rockislandfred@gmail.com

More info 7 June 2013; The children of James Quinlan and Johanna Hanlon were born around Acres near Dingle but the records are in Causeway parish near Ballyduff:

Catherine born 18 Sep 1861, William about 1869, Elizabeth born 6 Jan 1871, John born 15 May 1873, Johanna born 10 Oct 1875, Mary born unknown, James born 27 Jan 1880, Julia born 8 Aug 1883.

I do not know if the parents came over but I have everybody but Elizabeth Quinlan accounted for in Washington DC at one time or another

  • Hi,

     

    Thank you very much for your message and also for your offer to help other- it is really appreciated! I hope that someone else who is researching the family makes a connection with you and helps you to further your own research.

     

     

    I found the marriage record on Irish Genealogy:

     

    http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/42b5660538637

     

    Causeway is a town in the parish of Killury which neighbours Ratoo.

    Perhaps Causeway was the nearest church where they could get married?

     

     

    Also, Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864. This means that if James and Johanna did remain in Ireland and died here there would be a record of it in civil records. . Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

    You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:

    You could also try searching for record of their burial at:

    http://www.kerrylaburials.ie/en/SearchBurial.aspx

    Have you tried searching for them or any other Quinlans in the 1901/1911 census records? http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

    Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Fred?

    I was browsing on the Rattoo site and noticed your message. My mother was a Hanlon and I believe Johanna may be my mum's gggrandfathers daughter (who was Gobinet Burns). I'd be interested in Johanna's emigration and story in the USA if you have any further details. I'll check to see if my instinct is right but I remember the Quinlan name coming up previously.

    Thanks,

    Ken

  • I've just checked the Kerry records and only local birth of James Quinlan and Joanna (Burns) is James Quinlan of Acres on 1/2/1880 witness Michael Hanlon so I guess they must have been in Kerry in 1880 at least. If you are interested I could list up Joanna's mum and dad's family.

    Thanks,

    Ken
