I have two great, great grandfathers born in Dublin in the 1800's.  McCabe may be part of my family history also.  My family is visiting Ireland soon and I am interested in my family history.

  • Hi Linda

    I have had quite a search for McNurlins in Ireland but have not had much success I'm afraid

    There was only 1 record on www.rootsireland.ie/ for a McNurlin in any county and that was a marriage of William McNurlin in 1833 in DERRY

    However when the name is spelt McNErlin there are lots more records with 66 of 77 birth/baptisms from Derry nad none in Dublin

    There are some McNerlin records from Ellis Island entries to USA

    http://www.ellisisland.org/search/matchMore.asp?LNM=MCNERLIN&PLNM=MCNERLIN&kind=exact&offset=0&dwpdone=1

    I couldn't find any McNerlin - McCabe marriages

    There are none of either spelling in the irish phone book, Griffiths Valuation, Tithe Applotments, 1901 & 1911 Irish Census or ancestry

    The Mc implies a Scottish beginning and an Ulster county in Ireland so Derry could be their original area. Perhaps you could supply a few first names & birth years so a more accurate search could be done
