My ancestors were Patrick Maguire and Bridget Donohoe.  Patrick died at some point between 1841 and 1862.  Bridget was still living in 1862. 

I descend from their son, Bernard Maguire, who stated on his Royal Artillery attestation papers that he was born in 1838 in Aughrim in the parish of Tomregan.  He married Emily Maiden in Kingston, Ontario in 1862.  He was stationed in and had children in Canada, Malta, England, and Ireland.  He settled finally in Quebec City in 1881 and died in 1901.  His descendants live in various places in Quebec, Ontario and BC in Canada.

Another son, Thomas Maguire, born about 1837, went to NSW, Australia where he married Johanna Ryan.  Descendants live there today.

A daughter, Bridget Maguire, born about 1841, went to NSW with her brother, Thomas (above), married Michael Clark and they then went to Wellington, New Zealand.  They had one daughter who died unmarried.  No descendants. 

Another son, James Maguire, born about 1825, was also in the Royal Artillery.  He was stationed in India and stayed there when he was pensioned out.  There was no mention in his military papers if he married, and his death date and place are unknown.  Any descendants are unknown. 

I would like to know more about Patrick Maguire and Bridget Donohoe as well as if there were more children born to them and if there are descendants in Ireland to this day.

  • I will be in the Ballyconnell area in early October 2017.  Where should I look for information about my Maguire and Donohoe families as described in my original post?  Any suggestions are welcome.
