Am interested in finding out more about the families of John Tobin and Catharine Hayes Tobin.  They married about 1858 and had at least 4 children:  Bridget M. (immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, USA; married Patrick Lee), Mary Ellen (immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland, USA; married Edward Patrick Cusack), Catherine "Kate" (immigrated to Queens, New York, USA; married Patrick Guilfoyle) and Josephine (immigrated to Manhatten, New York, USA; married John J. Bishop).  Other children of John and Catherine Tobin could possibly be:  Rhody Tobin, Julia Tobin and Margaret Tobin.

Mary Ellen Tobin was my great-grandmother and her death notice (1901) states her family was from the Silvermines region of County Tipperary.

Hope this leads me to some Tobin family members!

Kind Regards,

Ria Crocker

  • You possibly  have seen the baptisms /births for children of John Tobin and Catherine Hayes - some are listed as from the Silvermines area and it seems it could be your family . Children listed Rhody Margaret Julia and Michael.

    Here's the link if you haven't got it already.

    Taking Michael b. 1874 per family search as the youngest - there is a John Tobin and Michael Tobin  in the 1901 Irish census in Cooleen Kilmore Tipperary so this  is possibly a match for your Tobin family.

    Link  John & Michael Tobin

    In Census 1901

    By 1911 Census John has possibly died and Michael has married

    Suggest  you could get michael's birth cert from www.groireland.ie and it will possibly confirm that this is the correct family.

    If you decide to do so the references needed are Birth Michael Tobin Nenagh registration district  Year 1874 volume 18 page 575. Also a photocopy of the entry in the register gives the same information as a cert and costs less.

  • Hi, Michael - so HAPPY to receive your comment.  My 89-year old mother lives with me and I just shared your news with her.  Mary Ellen Tobin Cusack was her grandmother, but sadly, she never got to meet her.  I would love to communicate with you and share anything we can.  This is so exciting!  Mary Ellen died in 1901, leaving behind 3 young children, the oldest of which was my grandfather, Edward.

    Please feel free to email me at maria_crocker@msn.com

    I'm happy to share my family information, especially with a new cousin!

    Kind Regards,

  • Hi all,

    I can see it has been a very long time since this post but I am new to this site and am reviewing threads which contain the name Guilfoyle as this is an ancestral name for me, tracing back to Borrisokane, Tipperary.  I have a 2nd great uncle, Patrick Guilfoyle who eventually made his way to Canada but this may have been via US (he was in Canada by 1881).

    If there is any information available about Catherine (Kate) Tobin to help determine if it my Patrick Guilfoyle that she married, that would be wonderful!

    Thanks in advance,

    Cathi

  • Hi, Cathi.  Happy to hear from you.  Catherine (Kate) Tobin Guilfoyle was my great grandmother's sister.  She married Patrick Guilfoyle, from Roscrea, County Tipperary, in New York City.  I have a public tree on ancestry.com -- The Crocker Family.  If you're able, you'll find all the info I currently have on the Guilfoyle family.  Let me know --  

     

    Kind regards,

    Ria (Maria) Crocker
