I'm looking to find furher connections and details for the Maddens of Timicat.  We know of three brothers: Patrick (b. 1802 Timicat, Kilkerrin, d. UNK Ireland); Michael (b. 1804 Timicat, Kilkerrin d. 13 Jan 1881 Portage, Columbia, Wisconsin, USA); and Martin (b. 1808 Timicat, Kilkerrin, d. 29 Aug 1892 Leavenworth, Kansas, USA). 

Patrick married an unknown woman and had at least 3 boys: Martin (b. abt 1831 Timicat, Kilkerrin); James (b. abt 1835 Timicat, Kilkerrin); and twin Thomas (b. abt 1835 Timicat, Kilkerrin).

Michael (my 4th great grandfather) married Mary Kane (b. abt 1805 Galway, d. 26 May 1877 Portage, Columbia, Wisconsin, USA).  They immigrated to the U.S. in 1847.  Mary had a brother James Kane (b. abt 1820 Galway) who later followed her and Michael and lived in the same town in the 1850 Census in Wisconsin.  Michael and Mary had the following children: Michael (b. abt 1834 Timicat d. 1847 at sea ert US); Martin Delaney (my line) (b. 1 Nov 1836 Timicat d. 11 Apr 1924 Clinton, Lyons, Iowa, USA); Bridget (b. May 1837 Timicat, d. 25 Aug 1906 Mortello, Marquette, Wisconsin, USA m. 1853 William Rabbit); John H (b. 25 Aug 1839 Timicat, d. 26 Apr 1906 Buffalo, Marquette, Wisconsin, USA); James (b. May 1844 Timicat, d. 4 Dec 1914 Portage, Columbia, Wisconsin, USA); Malachi Kane (b. 7 Dec 1844 Timicat, d. 1925 Lyons, Clinton, Iowa, USA); twin Thomas (7 Dec 1844 Timicat, d. bef 1930 Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA); Maria (b. abt 1852 Wisconsin, USA m. 15 Feb 1877 Charles Cook d. abt 1887 USA); and Michael (b. Apr 1855 Wisconsin, USA)  Family lore says that the Kanes were well off farmers and were not greatly impacted by the famine and that Mary Kane's brothers pleaded with her and her family to stay in Galway, but they decided to immigrate anyway.

Martin (b. 1808 Timicat, Kilkerrin d. 29 Aug 1892 Leavenworth, Kansas, USA) married abt 1837  Mary Pettit (b. abt 1815 Ireland, d. 23 Nov 1895 Leavenworth, Kansas, USA) immigrated to the U.S. 17 May 1851 arriving at the port of Mobile, Alabama.  Children Matthew (b. 22 Aug 1838 Timicat d. 27 Feb 1912 Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, USA); John Paul (b. 5 Feb 1842 Timicat d. 11 Apr 1928 Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, USA); and Patrick Henry (b. 22 Feb 1843 Timicat, d. 11 Jan 1913 Kansas City, Jackson, Missouri, USA)

I have lots of pictures and Michael's and Martin's branches from extended relatives.  Nothing on Patrick who we presume stayed in Ireland. We also don't know about other members of that family or their parents names.

I'm visiting Ireland May 2013 and plan to be near Tuam May 27-28 and would love to see if there is a connection to the Maddens in Kilkerrin parish today.

  • I can't tell if you have checked the 1901 or 1911 censuses. There were four Madden families in Timicat in both  the 1901 and 1911 censuses. www.nationalarchives.ie  Note in the 1911 census the townland was erroneously transcribed as Timacat.

  • Hi there, I am also am searching for a Madden in Timacat. I have some information on what I believe is the family you are looking for but all my information is about them in the United States which you may have. If not and you want it I will email the files to you, I do not know how to email a complete folder so it would be in about five files. My email is tpfallon55@gmail.com . Bye now Tim
