I am interested in the family of Henry Peel/Piles and Margaret Bowes.  Henry was born about 1798 and Margaret about 1794.  Their children were: Richard born 1826, John born abt. 1826, Catherine in 1827, William in 1831, another Catherine in 1835, Margaret bet 1837-1840, and Henry abt. 1838.  The reason I have settled on Drumgoon is the fact that Richard married Mary Ann HARRIS on 16 Jan 1854 in Cootehill.  Their first son, William, was born abt. Oct 1855 in Drumgoon, Cootehill, Co. Cavan according to his baptism which was on 21 Oct 1855.   Richard was a blacksmith by trade.  Mary Ann was the daughter of James Harris, Farmer.  They later emigrated to Newburgh NY with brother Henry to join brother William about Nov. 1856.  William arrived in US approx 1854.  Brother John emigrated to Australia.  Parents Henry and Margaret with daughters Catherine and Margaret emigrated at some point before 1857 as Margaret is married in Newburgh NY in Dec. 1857.  Is anyone else researching these families?  Thank you.

  • Hi Robin, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.  

    I am a volunteer on this site & while I am not researching your family, is there anything specific you need to know apart from reaching out to family.  do you know did any of the family stay behind?
