Philip Meighan Born 1823 Dromin

Hello Steph,

There were a number of children born to Patrick and Kate, according to RootsIreland. Here’s just one of them. Note the name in the various baptismal records is Meighan, Mihan, Meehan, etc. I did not see a baptism for Philip. All were in the Catholic parish of Dunleer. Dromin is the name of a civil parish, not a Catholic parish.

Thank you so much for such a fast answer! Is there a church and graveyards in the parish of Dunleer to see now? 

It looks like there are three churches in Dunleer parish: http://www.dunleerparish.ie/

Hello Ladies, I live near to Dromin and have a copy of the old graveyard inscriptions, I attach the entries for 3 gravestones that may be relevant to your query.

Good Luck

Pat

Oh thank you so much. These are terrific. I cannot wait to visit the area personally on my next trip over.

Hi Steph, if you have any queries on your proposed trip let me know, here is a site for Louth http://www.jbhall.clahs.ie/ 

If you are in the USA then this is the county of the Presidents maternal ancestors, about 20 miles from Dromin, his tree can be Googled online for free.

There is a Dunleer History Facebook page with old photos, may be called mid Louth history now, apply to join, they are not a genealogy group. There is a Louth page and on You Tube there is a short vidoe of still photos Ghosts of Drogheda which would be the nearest big town and was probably port of departure especially if they emigrated via Liverpool.
