Looking for family of John V Nicholson/Schrule, County Mayo

Thomas:

The subscription site Roots Ireland has a March 7 1859 baptismal record in Shrule for a John Nicholson. Father was James Nicholson and mother was Margaret Moghan. Family lived in Shrule. I also located a baptismal record for a Mary Nicholson baptized February 5 1861 in Shrule. Family lived on Clifford St. In Shrule.

I also located a January 16 1858 marriage record in the RC parish of Crossboyne which is northeast of Shrule.Groom and bride were James Nicholson and Margaret Maughan.

I looked for a death record up to 1901 for either James or Margaret Nicholson but did not find a lead. Also, James Nicholson was not in the 1901 census for Co. Mayo.

Roger,

Thank you for your prompt reply! I am hopeful your information will guide me further in my family search.  Thanks again!

Hi again Roger,

I found immigration/passenger records listing John Nicholson entering The U.S. as an infant in 1863.  Mother was listed as Bridget Nicholson, age 22, married but no spouse entered.  Not sure if that helps  the search.  Thanks again!

Tom:

Are you saying this is your John Nicholson or you found this record which may be connected. I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland for John Nicholson baptismal records with mother Bridget for all of Ireland. There were a number of records but none for Mayo near the 1861 time period.

Roger,

I am fairly sure Bridget is the mother of John Nicholson.  The timelines match up pretty well.  Are there any baptismal records for John/Bridget in nearby counties?  Thank you for all your help!
