Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo Well my maths* are bad too, but it was my reading that failed me this time. In the newpaper report of the death of Fr. Edward McNamara, I read “eighty-ninth year” as “ninety-ninth year”. Sorry about that. Well done finding Andréas Seán Mac Conmara in the 1911 census. When I first saw it, I ...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Sharon I am looking forward to reading that McNamara will you have found. Hi Jimbo I read your post again and, as I’ve come to expect, it is a great piece of work. Jimbo, The white paper that you think might be covering the baptism entry for James McNamara in 1875 is not covering it. The white pa...

Thank you, Jimbo, for that latest very interesting post – I’ve read it just once and will read it again later.

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo Good work. Lots more great research done by you. Thanks also for the link to the Skeleton Army, which I’d never even heard of. In the online transcriptions of the Tithe Applotment Books, all the Killuran townlands have been mistakenly filed under Killummod parish in Co. Roscommon – see Cool...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo

That is Far and Away the best possible explanation for the McNalty mistranscription. Well done!
And thank you for the story of Andrew and Ellen (from Co. Cork) in San Francisco; a sad story, but also a tribute to the kindness of Adjutant J.H. Banberry of the Salvation Army.

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo That is wonderful (your discovering that McNamara was transcribed as McNalty). That is a bad transcription indeed. This morning, I looked that the name McNulty in the different Unions in Co. Clare (online), and it became clear that only “McNalty”, and not McNulty, indicated a mistranscripti...

Re: John McNamara (c.1764–1822), Coolnahilla, Killuran.

Hi Jimbo, No, I can’t find the record of the death of Denis McNamara in Coolnahilla on 31 Dec 1871. The 1911 census shows the three Coolnahilla McNamaras, Myles, Mary Kate and Daniel, who benefitted by the will of Mary Kate McNamara, Santa Barbara: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cl...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

I won’t interfere with your MNamara project. I hope it goes well and the problem resolved. Thank you for that explanation of how Andrew came to have savings in a San Francisco bank. I had been imagining that Andrew never left Ireland, but had a brother who lived in San Francisco and who had left And...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo, I found your post regarding the separation of the surname “MacNamara” from “McNamara” in the G.R.O. transcriptions online. On Apr. 25 2019 you wrote: Thu Apr 25, 2019: With regards to the Irishgenealogy.ie search engine, I should clarify that it appears to pick up "MacNamara" when searchin...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo and Sharon As you both know, the surname Mack in Co. Clare is a variant of McNamara/MacNamara, but in other counties it may stand for some other surname beginning with “Mc”, so it is understandable that the G.R.O. records online treat Mack as a surname in its own right. There were quite a f...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo, Firstly, well done discovering that McNamara has been transcribed as “MNamara”, and so often. The online transcriptions of the G.R.O. records usually allow for some variations, so I am surprised to hear that “MNamara” was not recognised as “McNamara” and was treated as a separate surname. ...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush

Moneen seems to be another name for Clooneylissane – the baptism records for Mary, Thomas, Patrick and Michael Madigan give Moneen as the address. Kilimy is another name for Killimer – see variants for Knockera Catholic parish here: https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0792 Emily, the homeplace of Marg...
