Tarsnane/Tarsenane/Tarsone Family

[verdun20]

The 1901 Census shows the Tarsnane family in Co. Clare. My maternal Great Grandmother was Margaret Tarsnane daughter of Matthew/Mathew Tarsnane and Bridget O'Brien, farmers of Co. Clare possibly Clooneybreen.

Margaret married Patrick O'Connor of Co. Limerick in Australia in 1879.

Does anyone have information on the Tarsnane family of Co. Clare and possibly Margaret/Margret born around 1844 in Co. Clare??

Did you notice the Tarsnanes in the Tithe Applotment records at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... ompson.htm

and the Tarsanes in the Index to Biographical Notices 1935-1985 at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... piont1.htm

and the Micheal Tarsnane in the Ennistymon workhouse records at http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... breach.htm (".....Micheal Tarsnane for smoking and disorderly conduct was ordered the mitigated (it being his first offence) of deprivation of milk for 1 day and to work an extra hour....") ?

Thank you Paddy. I hadn't picked those up. If you have any further suggestions of where I might find information on the Tarsnane family it would be greatly appreciated, especially by my 93 y.o. Mum - Great Grand daughter of Matthew Tarsnane and his wife Bridget nee O'Brien. She's the last of her family line so it's pretty important to me to find what I can while she's still with us.

I have found what looks like a sister of Margaret in the Census search forms on the library website. See http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... ame_nw.htm and scroll down to Tarsnane. Kate Howe nee Tarsnane, daughter of Mat Tarsnane and Biddy O'Brien was applying for a pension in 1917 and requested that the 1841/1851 census forms be searched to establish her age. She is recorded in the 1901 census with her (Howe) family in Ballycotteen North, Liscannor: http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... th62_5.htm
You can trace the Howe cousins when you have the Tarsnanes sorted

Hello - by looking for other info - I saw the Tarsnane family living at Milltown in Co. Clare on the Census of 1901- I think the name of the civil parish is Kilfarboy - but a part of the area is also in Kilmurray-Ibrickane parish. Both are in Diocese of Killaloe. I might be easier to find names on Census of 1901 by surname index.
- Lots of details on http://www.clarelibrary.ie and then open Genealogy - at bottom right hand side of this page is 'research material' - and shows 'Parish Townlands'
You could write to the Parish Priest - Mons. Seamus Mullen, P.P., Milltown, Co.Clare- and request a copy of Bapt. Records of the family (to 1900) - a project was done by students putting bapt. records in family order - e. g Father & Mother's name followed by their children - recorded up to 1900. Encl. a stamped addressed env.
Also log on to pilot.familysearch.org/start/ and you will find Mathew born 1779 died 1869 - and the youngest are Gerard born 1942 and James born 1943 - mother Markham - poss. in Ennistymon or Lahinch area. When searching this site - I find it is better to just put in surname and Clare, Ireland. Most of the family are in the 'Ennistimon Registration area - which covers north west Clare.
Slan, Miriam.

slan, miriam and sadhbh, you are absolutley brilliant. Not only do I thank you but my 93 y.o Mum, Great Grand Daughter of Matthew Tarsnane thanks you.

I will thoroughly check your links out and hope that I'm able to track the famly of Matthew and Bridget better than what I've previously had.

My Mum's late sister had told me of her endeavours in tracking a Family name of Tarsenane/Tarsone/ O'tarsen/Tarsnane etc but she had never been able to find much.

I am truly appreciative of what you have suggested in your links and it has opened many doors, I hope.

Hello Verdun20 - to get you talking Irish - the word 'slan'
pronounced slawn means 'bye' in Irish. !!
The full address of the Family Search site is pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html/#p=o - I think I have it right.!! It is a project carried out by the Mormon Church, as far as I know.
I checked the Ellis Island records - and there is James Tarsane on list for May 1911 - son of Peter from Miltown Malbay, Co. Clare. (Malbay is added to the name as it is the name of bay in front of the town-and there are several towns/areas called Milltown in Ireland.) James was a son of Peter and went to U.S. to his sister, Margaret Seegers at 18th St. N.Y. !
To show some pictures of the town to your Gran. - incl. church where several Tarsanes were baptised - log on to http://www.clarelibrary.ie and open FOTO collection - then search for Milltown and also Kilfarboy (name of parish).
I also see on familysearch site that Bridget Tarsane married in 1946 in Kilrush Registration area - now that would be worth checking to see her married name and area involved.
So SLAN Miriam.

[miriam scahill]

Hello again - sorry spelling error on my last posting - I mean Tarsnane and not Tarsane!! On looking at the spelling of Tarsenane - I wonder has it any connection with St. Senan (Patron Saint of West Clare) ? - the middle syl. is 'senan' !!
I know of names like Gilsenan and Giltinane translate from Irish as 'son of the follower of St. Senan' - Mac Giolla Sionan.
Slan, Miriam.

[verdun20]

Many thanks Miriam. As you can guess my 'Irish' is non existent really.

I'll check out the sites you've suggested.

I really am so appreciative of the responses I've received from all.

May I say,

Slan,

Kerry (Great Great Grand daughter of Matthew Tarsnane.)

i am a tarsnane from ballard rd miltown malbay.that peter tarsnane was my dad and mother bridget.james went to new york and sisters margaret & mary .they were my uncle & aunts and i did meet em on my confirmation day in miltown malbay 1953 the seegers connection is correct margaret's husband who was killed in world war two .she later married a george brandon in new york. all since have passed. there are several tarsnane's in the uk and if you would check "facebook" you will find em.i also had an uncle in the british army so those tarsnane's are probably distant relatives...if anyone would like my email i would gladly cooperate........gerald tarsnane

[verdun20]

Hello Gerald and thanks for your response.

There is probably a link given the apparent rareness of the Tarsnane name. My Margaret, as shown in my initial listing, married Patrick O'Connor in Australia and he died in approx 1920 or thereabouts. Margaret also died in Australia sometime before her husband. My mother, born in 1916, remembers him and how he was 'laid out' in the front room after his death.
