Quigley/McEntaggerts of Dundalk

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Normally, we don't try to contact living individuals. You could look at the online Irish phone book for possible contacts. Make sure you use the Residential TAB. I did not see any McKeough records but there were Quigleys and Mackins. I will also check with someone to see if they have any suggestions for where you could post a notice possibly in a Dundalk newspaper.

Hello APM

you certainly appear to have all the information you need. I assume you have a copy of the death cert which can be seen here

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu… oddly hte Registar is McEnteggart, also I think the name McKeough may be more often spelled McGeough, at least I got more hits on it.

You may wish to try two local news papers in Dundalk , the Democrat and Argus, see http://www.dundalkdemocrat.ie/ and http://www.independent.ie/regionals/argus/ A letter to the editor may get printed and elicit a response.

We do not have a volunteer in the area so cannot say if family are still in Seatown, however the name is in the area.

I dealt with another Quigley query from outside Dundalk some months ago and will forward your link in case the person is interested, they were in Australia.

An interesting website about Louth is here http://www.jbhall.freeservers.com/

Hi APM,

My gg grandfather was James Quigley (farmer)  married to Elizabeth Layne of Co Louth - we maybe related. My great grandfahter James Quigley immigrated aspiring to make his fortune on the Ballarat Gold Fields Victoria, Australia - and in the late 1890s moved to Perth Western Australia. Hope the following my help  - it is a list of Flax Growers of 1792 - Cheers Karen

Thank you for all the replys.

I thought it was worth a try. If I put all the info I knew about Rose's family before they too disappear.

I'm sorry I don't know what "Make sure you use the Residential TAB" means. The Irish phonebook website will not open for me - it maybe a location thing - I've tried before but will keep trying. Thanks Roger

I was lucky to have been brought up by my grandmother and her stories of the Quigleys from around the world. She was the only member of her direct family to come to Australia so she kept what little she had from her family - pictures and some letters. I was recently given 2 letters from brothers in America that are each about 80 years old 

I didn't know I could view Maggie Quigley's death certificate on line. I paid for a copy to be sent to Australia (it was the most expensive I've even paid for but I did want it). Unfortunately I'm from Victoria, Australia and our certificates have so much more info in them - I've been spoilt. Yes the McEnteggert Registrar was a surprise and on my list to check for any relationship too. I notice there was a McEnteggart death on the same page too - something else to check

The newspaper website addresses are fantastic I'll be checking them out very soon.

I know the family are no longer in Seatown place of the 10 siblings eventually only 2 girls remained in Ireland and the story is one of them sold the property and went to England with her family. That left Rose alone being brought up by someone else.

I will also check out the other website you suggested, Thank you Pat

Who knows Karen we may be related but my oldest Quigley I've been able to find is Owen Quigley probably born abt 1838, his 1st wife Mary Ann McCormack and 2nd wife Sarah Clarke. Owen and Mary Ann were Rose's grandparents. Not sure if I'm allowed to post my email address here for privacy reasons but would love to confere with you. I doubt we are distantly related there are a lot of Quigleys lol

Thanks again for all the replys I have a number of websites to check out I didn't have before

APM:

It may be because you are in Australia. If you happen to get through, you will get a search screen which is set up to search for Business entries. You need to hit the Residential TAB to get non-business records.

my site email is stpeters@irelandxo.com if you wish to be put in touch with Karen as I am in contact previously with her and of course she agrees. Possibly could do a copy and paste of the phonebook hits also.

Regards
Pat

Thanks Roger I will keep trying.

Thanks Pat I have sent you an email. I would love to get in touch with Karen.

Is there a website that contains newspaper birth, marriage and death notices 1901 - 1980ish in Louth, Ireland? The 2 newspaper wedsites menitioned only seem to have current obituries.

Thanks again to you both. You are both fabulous.
