Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I tried searching on Roots Ireland in Sligo from 1831-1841 for a Michael McMahon with father James but got no record. Here is a link to the online RC parish register for Templeboy. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0756  The summary page indicates they have baptismal records from 1826-1838. I would review the register to see if you can find Michael or possibly siblings.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi sorry to keep emailing ,but do you know anyone that could read 1836 Births for Sligo Templeboy .and how much would it cost .Im really struggleing to see the writing on this record .Kind Regards Pauline

Pauline:

I went through the 1836 records and did not find a baptism for Michael McMahon. As you likely figured out the records are in Latin and Michaelum is the Latin for Michael. The format is: childs name, legitimate or Illigetimate son/daughter of parents names followed by sponsors names.

Hi i was not able to find a Michael Mc Mahon 1836 Sligo Ireland in the Baptism records you sent me .My son and I plan to come to Ireland to see what other research we could do to find our Ancestores ,but we dont know were the best place to go to  in Ireland to research Sligo .Dos anyone know were we could start ,any infomation would be greatly recieved Kind Regards Pauline

Pauline:

Do you know for sure that the James McMahon in the Tithe listings is the father of your Michael?

Roger

Hi im not to sure ,its what i found on Ancestry when i put all details in .On Michaels marriage certificate says James Mc Mahon ,deceased in 1857 .Michael was married in Bolton Lancashire ,to Ellen Mc Dermott ,her father Patrick Mc Demott also deceased  Regards Pauline

Thank you for all your help Pauline

Hello Pauline,

I am from Templeboy and could help you with some research if you wish. Can I ask how you know your ancestors were from Templeboy or even Sligo? Thanks
