Robinson & Tighe family of Rathlackan (Kilcummin) & Rathbal (Ballysakeery)

Hi Louise Welcome back - good to hear of your progress! Here are the Tighe records from rootsireland: Name: Marianne Tigue Date of Birth: 01-Aug-1805 Date of Baptism: 21-Aug-1805 Address: Rathball Parish/District: CROSSMOLINA Gender: Female County MAYO Denomination: Church Of Ireland Father: Thomas Tigue Mother: Martha Tigue

Name: John Tigue Date of Birth: 01-Apr-1807 Date of Baptism: 19-Apr-1807 Address: Rathball Parish/District: CROSSMOLINA Gender: Male County MAYO Denomination: Church Of Ireland Father: Thomas Tigue Mother: Martha Tigue

Name: Francis Tighe Date of Birth: 01-Aug-1810 Date of Baptism: 02-Aug-1810 Address: Rathball Parish/District: CROSSMOLINA Gender: Male County MAYO Denomination: Church Of Ireland Father: Thomas Tighe Mother: Martha Tighe

Name: Thomas Tighe Date of Birth: 01-Aug-1810 Date of Baptism: 02-Aug-1810 Address: Rathball Parish/District: CROSSMOLINA Gender: Male County MAYO Denomination: Church Of Ireland Father: Thomas Tighe Mother: Martha Tighe

Name: Thomas Tighe Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 20-Sep-1811 Address: Rathball Parish/District: BALLYSAKERRY Gender: Male County MAYO Denomination: Church Of Ireland Father: Thomas Tighe Mother: Martha Tighe

Name: Atkinson Tighe Date of Birth: Date of Baptism: 07-Aug-1814 Address: Unknown Parish/District: BALLYSAKERRY Gender: Male County MAYO Denomination: Church Of Ireland Father: Thomas Tighe Mother: Matilda Tighe

Martha & Matilda?

Looks like Francis & Thomas were twins - maybe Thomas died so another child was named Thomas to replace him. 

I couldn't find a marriage record of Thomas (parents)

The Tithe Applotments have 60 Tighes in Mayo - some in Crossmolina 1827-33 & 26 Robinsons http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/ There are none in the early Irish censuses however. Col

Thanks again for your interest Col. These were the entries you so kindly gave me last time, which got me off and running. I took out a subscription to Roots Ireland for a month on the strength of your previous reply, which gave me a few more good leads for other members of the family. I believe Martha is a transcription error and the entry should be Matilda as mother for them all. If only they had stayed put in Ballysakeery, their records are better, but after the parents moved to Rathalcken  with their daughter Matilda and son-in-law Henry, the trail runs cold because of the loss of records in that Parish.

The problem with records like the Griffiths Valuation and the tithe applotment records is that I can't prove it's the same Henry Robinson. His name crops up in a few legal reports, too, for things like letting his horse stray. Anyway, it all helps, and hopefully I will find something that will point to the existence of descendants of Henry Robinson and Matilda Tighe.

regards, Louise

Sorry to duplicate Louise.
Just wonder about whether DNA test might somehow help ascertain that the Tithes & Griffiths Tighes 7 robinsons are yours?
Col

Good point Col. Coincidentally, my brother has just had his DNA done primarily to see if we can make some headway with an English ancestor which follows the male line directly. The Tighes/Robinsons are a maternal link. Fingers crossed we can match up with some people from a variety of lines and solve them all at once.
