Looking for information on Grandfather John Monaghan, Great-Grandfather Patrick Monaghan arrived in US in Boston in 1883 aboard the Canadian, along with great-grandmother Bridget O'Donahue Monaghan and great aunt Anne. Residence Shenandoah, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. John was born on 14 December 1881 in Tallagh, Belmullet, North Mayo, Ireland. His sister Anne was born 20 November 1880 same place. Parents Pat Monaghan and Biddy Donohoe (Bridget Donohoe) were married 18 January 1880 or 8 January 1880, Kilmore Erris, North Mayo. Any information on the family or any family still living in the area would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Mary
In the 1911 Census the "Monaghan" surname in Tallagh appears to be the Head Sister of Mercy (Religious Order)
In the 1901 Census this is the Monaghan Family living there

In Griffiths Valuations 1850's (you can search the Map's to locate the townland by using the Ref No on the listing)

In the Tithe Applotments in 1831 there are Monaghans living in "Tallagh Stripe"

This site has a lot of information on North Mayo
Good Luck with your research, Mary.

I've seen the Tithe Applotments and Griffiths Valuation, Since they left Ireland in 1883, I hadn't thought to look in later census years. Thanks for the help.
