my father was james monaghan married to marion mc lean,,
his father was john monahan/monaghan he was married to catheine mulligan
and john's brother was Bernard, altho it seems there were more brothers but i don't have any info on them...

Kate. can you clarify did John (your grandfather) go out to the US to join the brothers..?

There is quite a bit of info.supplied on the thread so far relating to a Monahan/Monaghan family from Gallon ( RC Parish Denn ) Co.Cavan.....

The parents of John Monaghan who married Catherine Mulligan were Patrick Monahan and Anne Galligan (Gritty 31.July)...

The Galligans were certainly from the Gallon/ Denn area of Co.Cavan the Monahans were probably from one of the surrounding Townlands.

Patrick and Anne Monahan 1901/1911 Census Gallon Co Cavan appear to be the parents of the Monahans you are looking for.
Patrick the eldest child of Patrick Monahan and Anne Galligan... Was Baptised June 2 1872 at the RC Chapel Parish of Denn sponsors were Michael Galligan and Susan Cusack.
There is a marriage for 8thJuly 1870 of a Pat.....and Anne Galligan witnesses..Peter Caine and Daphne Galligan unfortunately the PP must have been on the Poteen as he has not listed the Grooms surname and has the following notation under Daphne Galligans' name ..(I Think) !!!...
Was rather amused at that...!!!

hi Eringobragh,

yes this is what i've been told..... my dad was born in 1909 he was 9yrs old when his dad died in usa around the 1920's....x

where is this thread please... i can't find it !!!

Kate ...Its on this thread page 1 ...supplied by Gritty.....

Bernard (Barney) went out to the US ?? when then James and Patrick followed in 1899 on the Teutonic.
Barney married a Hannah Barrett in Silver Bow Montana 1913...she was a widow and her parents names were James O'Brien and Ann Sullivan ..Hannah was b Boston Mass.I think she may have died in 1914 as I have found a Death notice for a Hannah Monahan Butte Mt.1914 and a Barney Monahan is listed a lodger on the 1920 census Butte Mt. aged 44 and single

So far you have Barney James Patrick and John going to the US..
On the 1901/1911 Census for Gallon is a Michael Monahan/Monaghan so there is 5 out of a possible 6 bros. accounted for...

Monaghan Anne 48 Female Wife Roman Catholic Co Cavan Farmers Wife Can read and write - Married -

If you compare this one with the 1911 you will find major discrepancies with the info re.ages...so its difficult to work out which is correct.

Kate ....It only relates insomuch as there is a John Monahan listed as lodging there in 1901..

Kate ..Did Catherine stay in Scotland when John went to the US....?

yes she lived in 2 castlechimmins ave halfway... when she died in 1970 her daughter Bridget lived there till she died in Dec.1983 ....

Kate...In case you don't have details ...

Patrick Mulligan married Brid. Devine 6th October 1862 Avondale.

Kate...

1851 but not 1841 Census shows...

Mulligan Lawrence 38yrs b Ireland. Drainer
Mulligan Allice 40yrs.b.Ire.
Mulligan Mary 12yrs.b Ire.
Mulligan Pat.10yrs.b Ire.
Mulligan Catherine 1 yr.b Strathaven

There is a big gap between Pat and Catherine so there may have been other children who were born and perhaps died ....

this is what i have in my tree....

great grandparents patrick mulligan & bridget divine

their kids were
laurence 1863-1863
mary 1865-1882
rose 1867 -1870
alice 1868 -1949 c
elly 1869-1869
elizabeth 1871-1871
james 1872-1872
bridget 1873-1946
daniel 1879-1941
catheine 1881 -1970 my grandmother
laurence 1883-1883 c

those details were given to me by margo mc manus who's husband was alice's gg/ grand son.... !!! as you can see i don't have a son patrick listed ?? very confusing.... lol x

But Patrick and Bridget did have a son Patrick- he's listed with his Mum on the 1881 and 1901 census, born c1877 Strathaven. I put details of those census on page 1.

Patrick, husband of Bridget, died in 1912 Strathaven. On his death certificate (on scotlandspeople) he is listed as the widower of Bridget Devine and his parents are listed as Lawrence Mulligan, labourer (deceased) and Alice Mulligan (deceased- maiden name McGuire). His son PATRICK registered the death.

This looks to be Patrick with his parents in 1851:
