Mcintire / Lynch families from Gallonabraher townland in the Lurgan parish

Maria:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

We do not have parish liaisons in either Lavey or Lurgan parishes.

I tried searching the 1841 census for your family and got no record. Can you send me a link with the 1841 census record that you located? 

Also, were your ancestors Roman Catholic or Church of Ireland?

Roger McDonnell

Thank you for your prompt reply Roger.

I double checked my family tree and noticed that it was the 1821 census that has records for mt great great great grandfather Thomas McIntir

Thomas Mcintir

Ireland Census, 1821

Place: Lurgan, Cavan, Ireland

Townland: Gallonabraher County Cavan

Parish: Lurgan

Age: 46

Occupation: Farmer

Birth Date: 1775

Others listed as living with Thomas are:

Anne Mcintir Wife 42
Michl Mcintir Son U 5
John Mcintir  Son 20 (my great great grandfather(
Thomas Mcintir Son 12
Elizabeth Mcintir Daughter 19
Anne Mcintir Daughter 18
Mary Mcintir Daughter 15
Ellen Mcintir Daughter  8

In the same townland the census records have the Lynch family listed. My great grandfather , John Mcintir, married Mary Lynch.

One of their chidren, Thomas John McEntyre, is my greatgrandfather who travelled to NZ with his brorher, Charles Owen McEntyre.

I believe that Thomas was born in Lavey parish - most likely in Leiter townland. I have found other McEntyre relatives in Lavey - Knockbride, Leither etc

Hi Roger

I also find Thomas again in the Tithe Applotment books - 1825 -  in the same townland land but this time it is spelt Gullanabraher. His surname is also spelt differently - this time it is McEntee.

Hi

One more query Roger.

I find in the Tithe Applotment Books for Lavey that there are Tearneys listed - Thomas and Mary, Owen, James, Phelix. Would Tearney  (which I have also found spelt as Tierney) be an earlier spelling for McIntyre / McIntir / Micintire / McEntyre / McEntee etc?
