I have Tobin ancestors from Dungarvan as well.  My great--great-grandparents were: Thomas (1812 - 1891) and Mary Flahaven Tobin (1810 - 1898) and my great-grandparents were

Thomas (1851 - 1939) and Mary Tobin Quarry (1854 - 1934) who came to Philadelphia, PA in the late 1800's.  

My Tobin connection is through John Born 1843, who married Honorah Hurton. Thier daughter Mary was my great grandmother, who came to NYC, Married WIlliam Nevins who died soon thereafter. Would love to compare notes. Kathy Lena klena@roadrunner.com

Hello lalynch and Kathy,

Thank you for your replies to my post re Michael Tobin of Dungarvan.

I have replied by email to Kathy.

If we are on the same "family tree' lalynch then it would be another generation back from my GGrandfather Michael. Your Thomas (born 1812) may have been a brother of my GGgrandfather Michael (born 1799) but the 13 year age difference is of concern to me. Do you have any further information re the Irish family of Thomas?

I look forward to continuing sharing with you and others further research on the Tobins of Dungarvan

Annamaree, 

I checked my Tobin family tree and I do not have anything further back than Thomas Tobin, my great-great grandfather, and his wife Mary Flahaven Tobin.

However, I do have some relatives in Dungarvan who descend from my great grandmother Mary Tobin Quarry.  There were two Tobin brothers, my great grandmother's brothers, who never left Dungarvan for Philadelphia, PA USA as did the rest of the family.  And the current Dungarvan relatives descend from them.  I've never met any of these people.  I have yet to get to Ireland.  But I have cousins in the Philadelphia area who are very close to them.  We are all connected on a closed Facebook page.  So I am going to ask them and see what I can find out on the Tobin family in Dungarvan!

Thanks!

Hi All

My great-great grandfather William Hyde of Abbeyside, Dungarvan, married a Mary Tobin in 1830.  She was born in 1814 to father Martin Tobin and mother Mary Lenahan.  She was likely the witness at the Michael Tobin x Catherine Cahill wedding (in original posting). As William Hyde's first wife she bore him a son William Hyde in 1831 (Abbeyside & Ring).  My personal tree originated from William Hyde (Snr)'s second wife Mary Hickey.  She bore him nine children including Bridget Hyde (b.1848, Abbeyside), who married my great grandfather John Melican from Kimacthomas, Co, Waterford..

This John Melican and his son James Joseph Melican (b.1884) are my brick wall - no birth or death certificates extant.

Best wishes

I find it interesting that your Michael died in Cappoquin. My Tobin ancestors were all from Curradarra, Parish of Aglish. There is also overlap into Cappoquin Parish and Curradarra is also part of Cappoquin. I have the same names in my Tobin lines. Michael in particular is repeated with each geneation. My 3x great grandmother's brother James, had a first born Michael who had a James who had a Micheal etc. My Catherine's marriage had a Michael Tobin as a witness and her second born son was called Michael. Michael Tobin was also a name liviing with my Cath when her family immigrated to Yonkers NY.
My Cath was born 1817, her brother James born 1821 (circa) there was a brother Thomas. For obvious reasons, we believe, not no proof, that her father was Michael Tobin.
Sounds like your ancestors could be relatives of mine - cousins, perhaps? You might want to email me directly: sherriehardin14gmail.com (please reference irelandxo when sending so my old brain will know which Tobin it's in relation to.

Good morning, Edmond Tobin is my great grandfather. He married Catherine Mckenna in 1876 in Victoria, Australia. They had 9 children, including Ellen who is my grandmother ( 27/7/1896 - 27/9/1980 ). Edmond died in 1921 and is buried in the Heathcote cemetery in Victoria. Catherine died in 1947 in Bendigo, Victoria. Family history is special ! My grandmother married in Bendigo, and lived most of her life in Yarrawonga, Victoria. The bio of Michael Tobin was wonderful to read, thank you.
