James McIntire : Short Biography

I’ve found a marriage for these two in Banagher in 1818 and a daughter Brigid born the same year some 10 months after the marriage!!!
No sign of the birth of their son Thomas there yet. This photo is of their son Thomas.

I also found through Griffith’s Valuation and google maps a cluster of old stone houses and sheds that would have been their residences around the early 1800s. Will copy the pics from google soon. The remnants are still there and the farm is still running.

James & Elizabeth (Cummins or Cunning) are the furthest I’ve gone so far with my McEntyre’s. Now to find the father of James who I believe is from Clonmacnoise or Gallen or Clonony/ Banagher in Offaly. I think James has a brother Thomas who took his family to Australia (Kiama). Thomas in Australia’s death certificate shows a Thomas as the father in Gillen Offaly. Will put the Kiama connection on the next blog post. • Shipping: arrived Sydney aboard “Subraon”, 12 Apr 1848.

I’ve just sent off an email to organise James’ & Elizabeth’s death certificates. Hopefully they will hold the next generation!

Over the last few weeks I’ve managed to find so much more information…

Update: 2016 Jan 5th.

I’ve had this info a while but have not entered it yet.

Found a daughter Brigid and James’  & Elizabeth’s marriage records. No sign of son Thomas in the Church records.
