Patrick Henry McMahon b. 17 March, 1844

Hi Tom & Kathy,

I had a look on www.rootsireland.ie/ for birth/baptism records for any children of Ardle McMahon in any county. This was the first that came up and then there's a gap till 1853

Ardle McMahon and Mary Cunningham had the following children in Upper Creggan Armagh including Patrick in 1859:

Here's the Patrick record; none for Catherine however:

I then tried for chikldren of Arthur McMahon and Catherine and got these but mother is Kane / Cane not Martin

The Tithe Applotments are free online at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/

Search for Ardle McMahon &  you'll get 3 records all from Tyrone 1829-33; similarly, Griffiths Valuation has 2 in Armagh (1864) & 2 in Monaghan (1861) http://www.askaboutireland.ie/. These records will show you where they were at that time

No luck with birth, marriage or death records for Ardle I'm afraid

My thanks to ColCaff for the time spent on research for me.  I truly appreciate it.  It appears that our great grandfather Patrick McMahon remains elusive.  Some day, we'll find him...

Tom Kassis and Cousin Kathy

Tom, 

 A Fist to The Black Blooded (The Mac Mahons of Coas) by Hugh MacMahon, published in 2015 by Original Wtiting Ltd Dublin tells the story of three Mac Mahon siblings and their involvement in the Irish War of Independence. There is a chapter on the Mac Mahon Heritage in the book.  Coas is a townland in the Parish of Aughnamullen East and is within a mile or two of Tattygare. (P. of Muckno/Castleblayney) The author's grandfather was also named Ardle Mac Mahon. The author or his cousin Brian MacMahon of Sutton Co.Dublin may be able to help you in your search.
