Hi folks I hope someone can help, my grandfather was born in Limerick City in 1894 (John Thomas Anderson), his parents my great grandparents were married in St Michael RC Church,Limerick in 1894.

My great grandfather's name was John Anderson born circa 1869 (and his father's name was James) and my great grandmother's was Elizabeth Quaid showing as born Adare,Limerick 1870, they all eventually moved to Glasgow around 1903.

Some research has led me to believe Elizabeth's father's name was Patrick and her mother's surname was Nickey.

Now the obvious reaction would be to think that Nickey is being confused with Hickey but I am told not.

Is there any way I can find out more about Elizabeth's parents marriage.

I was told a Patrick Quaid married an Elizabeth in Kilmallock in 1870, the year of my great grandmother's birth.

Through the mists of time I have been told they may have worked on a large gaming estate in Adare somewhere.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Dear IrelandXO,

    While traveling from the USA through the area of Adare Ireland a few years ago one of my Irish cousins brought me to the old Churchyard at Adare Manor Golf Club. The Old Parish Church grounds on the property of the Adare Manor are now a family buring place for the Quin family. They showed me a tomb stone attached to the Old Parish Church and said this is our Irish family my great great great grandfather. The name Pat Quain (died 1809) is on the stone which is my name Pat Quain. I have wondered how my family is in the family burial site with the Quin's?

    If anyone has a family tree that provides a connection between the Quin's and Quain's I would love to see it. My wife Donna and I plan to travel to Ireland and would like to know more about the Quain's that lived in Ireland, especially around Limerick. www.stnicholascenter.org/galleries/gazetteer/3823/3/
