Descendants of Miles Feeny & Mary Tigue

Hi,

Thanks for your message and for sharing this information on the Ireland Reaching Out message boards.

I did a search for Miles Feeny in Griffith's Valuation. This is a land survey that was carried out in Ireland between 1848 and 1864. One result came back for Miles in Kilmactranny. Unfortunatley it dates to 1858, so it is only a couple of years after your last record of him and Mary. However, if you would still like to look at the results, which includes a scanned copy of the ledger page, you can do so at the following link:

Do you know if Miles and Mary had any other children? If you could find out the names you could try tracing their families and hopefully find a later reference for your family history.

Thanks once again,

Kind regards,

Thank you for the information about Bridget Cullen (1828-1863) who's father was my 5x Great Grandfather who was the son of Patrick William Cullen (1717-1871) who was transported to Australia for cattle stealing. Five of he's  children came to Australia three boys, two girls leaving two boys and three girls missing, who I would like to find there descendants. He was born in Kilmacatramy. County Sligo 

Hi, Patrick year of birth was 1786, he married Margaret Curran in the Catholic Church Drumshambo in 1810. I have a the petition to the court from the Parish priest stating that Patrick was only an innocent bystander to the theft of the cow. But they didn't take that into consideration, the accuser must have been a person of high standing in the community. Patrick died at Long Swamp near Trunkey Creek NSW, & he requested he be buried with the other's he was transported with. I am a descendant of Bridget & John Feeney, I too have been trying to find the names of Bridget's siblings that stayed in Ireland. However looking through Griffiths Valuations gives the names of Bryan Cullen, James Cullen, Cicily Cullen, Terrence Cullen, Owen Cullen, Miles Cullen, so they maybe the sons & daughter of Patrick William. Terrence is definately one of his sons, as a tenement in Patrick's name was being worked by Terrence (Terry).

Are you in Australia by any chance?

Regards Garry Feeney

My great great grandmother was Catherine Cullen from Gortnagrelly Sligo, daughter of Patrick. Have you done a dna test? Do you know of the Gedmatch ancestor project for Sligo & Leitrim?
