Looking for Mulholland ancestors

Sam:

Document was not attached.

The townland is spelled Tiroony. I checked the 1911 census and there were no Mulhollands in that townland. There was one Mulholland family in the nearby townland of Gleneeny. however, the two brothers and one sister were not married and likely stayed unmarried so the name would have died out (at least for that family).

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the response. I attached the file this time. Back in 1825 it seems it was spelled Tyrooney. You're right, the name seems to have died out in the area after 1911. Sadly. 

I wonder though if there is another way to find out the family relations as they were back in 1825. Perhaps the other family members moved away. That at least gives the opportunity to track their migrations and find out where they went and find their descendants. 

Thanks again.

Sam:

Townland spellings do change over the years.

The RC church records for Terminmaguirk parish do not start until 1834. ( I made the assumption that they were RC).  This complicates your ability to relate the various Mulhollands.

You may want to consider autosomal DNA testing. You would also have to get the Mulhollands in Carrickmore to also test so results can be compared.

Thanks Roger. Best of luck with your search Sam
