My ancestors were James Conway who married Ann Payne. They both died in Loughall in 1873. Their son John MIchael emigrated to Australia in 1855 but then returned to Ireland for a further 3 years in 1860. I believe the townland the family lived in was Clonmain or Cloven Eden. I think it was the latter. Would love to make contact with family over in Ireland.

    Hi Patrice,

     

    Thank you for your message.

     

    Have you tried searching the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were still any Conways in the area at the turn of the century? You can search these here:

    Unfortunately, these are the latest records that we have here. It may be an idea to post this message in a more local forum in the hope that someone will recognise the family name and make a connection with you. Some possible places you could do this are:
