Harrington/Grady/Maye Families from Hagfield/Swinford

Dorothy:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I will alert our parish liaison for Kilbeagh parish that you have posted a message. I did look for civil death records for Thomas, Margaret and Anne. I located a likely record for Thomas and the likely record for Anne. You can get copies of these records from the General Register Office for around 4 euros each. If you need instructions let me know.

Thank you Roger. You have helped me in the past with the Joyce/Keane side of my family from Aghagower Parish. You've sent me instructions on how to order records from theGeneral Register Office so I will follow those instructions for this side of my Mayo family also.

Hi 

just came across this thread.  My paternal line is from Carracastle/Charlestown and I have Grady, Harrington and Maye in my tree.

The details for the Margaret Grady I have are:

Margaret Grady

BIRTH 5 JAN 1893 • Fauleens, Kilbeagh, Mayo, Ireland. DEATH 29 JUNE 1970 • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have her marrying a John Francis Harrington in Phiilidelphia in 1918.

I know these names are very common in thie region, but does this look like a likely match at all?

If so please feel free to message me here or better still by email at mike@gallagher.org.uk.  I'd be happy to share what I have.

Mike

Actually, having just re-read you posting it doesn't look likely does it!  However, if you'd like to see what I have I can share on Ancestry.

Hi Mike,

Great to hear from you.  I was thrilled to see your response as we have so many names in common.  I have very little information on my Margaret Grady, who I'm guessing was born in the 1840s.  But then I thought, well, perhaps your Margaret Grady was the daughter or grand daughter of a sibling to my Margaret Grady.  There is some information I have that shows my Margaret Grady had a daughter Mary who emigrated to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, married a Patrick Ryan, had several children in Pittsburgh, and eventually settled in Chicago, IL. 

I would be very interested in seeing your Ancestry information so I will e-mail you and also share with you, my Ancestry tree information. 

Thanks so much for contacting me and have a wonderful and Merry Christmas.

Dorothy

Are either of you on Gedmatch by ay chance?

I am.  Kit A074078.

Yes, my Gedmatch is Kit A252792.  What is yours Kathy Egan?

This maybe of no help. however we all know every this piece of info might open a new door. My paternal garandmother was Kate Grady , born in Hagfield Mar 14 1889, her first husband was John Gallagher who died in Hagfield May 27, 1927, they had 5 children, tow of which James and Tom married Harrington sisters in Chicago , Mary Ann and Liz.  Kate later married Michael Corley , my grandfather, Kate died in Chicago in April 28, 1965 she also had a brother Michael passed in 1962 and is bured in Bushfiled and a sister Bridget, I'm not sure if Bridget passed in Philly or Chicago. Kates parentd were Patrick and Catherine ,nee Duffy.    Hope this might help ---let me know , my email is wjccjw@sbcglobal.net and I will share what I have. I also post pictures on facebook in the Heritage Charlestown group        Bill Corley
