Reconstructing Families from the Records by Michael F

Reconstructing Families From the Records By Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. [email protected] January 20, 2019

Introduction In this document the available records were used to reconstruct McGrath and Long families in the Thurles and Cashel Poor Law Unions. The goal was to go beyond just parents and children and push as far back as possible to construct multi-generational families.

The records involved in this reconstruction activity are the parish records from the NLI site, the civil records from the Irish Genealogy site, Griffith’s Valuation, and the 1901 and 1911 census records on the Irish National Archives site. The civil marriage records are very useful in this family reconstruction exercise since they contain the fathers’ names of the couple being married. This provides a linkage back to the previous generation. In addition there seems to be a strong adherence to the Irish naming tradition during this time period, at least as far as the 1st and 2nd sons and daughters. In most cases this tradition gives the names of the children’s paternal and maternal grandparents, if there are enough children. Another necessary element in this reconstruction is geography in the form of the family residences which many times are found in the various records. This piece of information can be challenging, beginning with the sometimes appalling spelling and penmanship found in the hand written records. The IreAtlas Townland Database (http://www.thecore.com/seanruad/) is very useful in comparing the handwritten townland name with the various townlands in the database. The site allows searching that isn’t limited to only an exact match. It allows searches with only a portion of the name located at various positions within the townland name. Once a correct spelling of the residence, usually a townland, has been found then the Townland web site can be used to find a map of the townland location (https://www.townlands.ie ) which also shows the townland’s boundaries. Gravestone inscriptions and old family genealogies can be very helpful but these are more difficult to obtain and require a good deal of luck.

In preparation for this reconstruction exercise two separate transcription projects were conducted to build up families from the parish registers (baptism records) and separately from

Reconstructing Families From the - 1 - Copyright © 2019 Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. Records 01-20-19 the civil birth registration records. These family groupings were sometimes complimented with marriage and death records. The results of these transcription projects furnished individual family trees which were the raw material that fed this larger family reconstruction process.

The assembly of families from the baptism and birth records is governed primarily by the names of the parents but it is also guided by the family residence and gaps between the children’s birth dates. The automatic construction of family trees and tables from the parish baptism records is a strictly parish by parish process. A certain amount of ambiguity is contained in this family assembly process in that parents of identical names, residing in the same townland, cannot be easily distinguished from one another. An additional source of ambiguity in working with the baptism records arises when a family moves from one townland or parish to another. It is only when the individual families are connected together that some of these ambiguities can be discovered and resolved.

The vehicles used for assembling and organizing the family records are a combination of family trees and pedigree charts which allow a concentration of the information. The pedigree charts are used to extend the family back in time and display a reduced amount of information (years of births/baptisms, deaths and marriages). This minimizes the space required to represent an individual couple so that more generations and families can be accommodated in a structure that will fit on a single page. This format was chosen because it allows a concentration of the information, which improves the ability to spot inconsistencies and increases the probability of finding new family connections.

This reconstruction process has an intuitive element which is guided by the minimization of inconsistencies among the various records. However, the results are not always perfect and more research is needed to ensure the accuracy of the proposed family connections. It is hoped that this minimization approach will lead to the most accurate reconstruction of these families possible, based on the currently available information. These structures also provide a useful summary of the best estimates of the ancestral names and serve as guides for future research.

The diagram following the table of contents shows how the original records were first combined into two sets of family records (church and civil) and were then used in the creation of this paper. These family record documents are available on the mcgrathsearch.com web site:

Several papers that had already been started benefitted from the multi-generation family connections developed in this paper. These papers are listed on the right hand side of the diagram. Any of the families in this document which can be connected to the McGrath and Long families in the Moyaliff-Holycross area will be integrated into the larger document currently under development: “Reaching Across The Penal Times.”

The “Pre-Birth Baptisms” The following excerpt will explain the bolding, underlining and highlighting used when the church baptism and civil birth records overlap and in some cases the baptism date precedes the birth date.

From: “The Civil Records” - 10-15-18 http://mcgrathsearch.com/FamiliesInIreland/Civil%20Records/The%20Civil%20Records%2010- 15-18.pdf

“These observations have been made while searching the civil records for two surnames: McGrath and Long, in two Registration Districts: Thurles and Cashel. Depending on the RC parish, the parish register records available online overlap the civil records for about a 15 year period. Upon comparing the civil and church records in this overlap period the existence of a “Pre-Birth Baptism” phenomenon has been discovered. This phenomenon is characterized by a birth date in the civil record which occurs after the baptism date found in the church record.

“Examples of these phenomena should be found in these papers in Sections 1 and 4 (see document description in the Process section of this paper). Many of the families in these sections contain both birth records and baptism records. The names in the baptism records that exhibit these phenomena are underlined along with the corresponding name in the birth records. The date of the birth record is highlighted in yellow when there are matching records (same person) in the birth records and baptism records. Some of the baptism records came from a previous project and are summarized by just names and dates while for some families the baptism records were newly transcribed from the National Library of Ireland site and appear in more detail. “

Church Records - Thurles RC In the table below are the only Denis Magraths found in the Thurles registers. They are all of sufficient age to have married in 1858. However none are compatible with the assumption that Denis and Bridget followed the Irish naming tradition in selecting names for their children. Under this assumption Dennis’ parents would be Michael and Winny. No marriage record could be found for a Michael McGrath and a Winny in the 1830-1845 time period in the area around Thurles. There was a Michael McGrath of Ballycahill and Holycross RC parish who married Mary Ryan and they had a son Denis who was baptized on December 28, 1831. The identity of Denis McGrath’s parents remains an open question.

Michael McGrath’s baptism record in the Thurles RC parish register. There is no church record for Winnie’s baptism. In the civil records there is a Winny but no Michael. Winny McGrath’s marriage record (to Patrick Shea) showed that her father was named Denis and the 1901 census showed that her mother’s name was Bridget. Her existence is better established than Michael’s.

MAP - Townlands in the vicinity of Pallashill, Inch parish

There are a number of townlands that appear in the records which are located very close to the townland of Pallashill. This could imply that some of these McGrath families are related. The St. Michael’s Cemetery, where Thomas Ryan and Ellen Magrath are buried, is located in Rosmult, Templebeg civil parish, Co. Tipperary (Green oval).

✽Thomas Ryan and Ellen McGrath Pedigree ✽

Timothy Ryan & John Long & Francis McGrath & Matthew Costello & Judy LNU 1773-1842 Bridget LNU Mary LNU Mary Magrath

By marriage witnesses

William Ryan = Catherine Long Matthew McGrath = Margaret Costello mar. Feb 3, 1839, b. abt 1835 1833-1923 Ballycahill & Holycross mar. Feb 20, 1860, Clonbeg, Inch

Thomas Ryan = Ellen McGrath 1850-1924 1865-1937

By tracing both parents’ ancestors on a Willie Ryan = Mary Lowry single chart the total number of 1903-1978 1902-1996 generations covered in the pedigree Matty Ryan chart needed to be reduced to four. 1905-1971 Timothy Ryan = Mary Harney 1907-1985 1908-1982

Three sets of names are based on the naming tradition. The fourth set of parents didn’t have enough baptism records to allow the naming tradition to be used. However, the witnesses are the wedding of William Ryan and Catherine Long were possibly Catherine’s brothers and their family was known. But then again this is all tentative and remains to be verified.

This picture was taken at the Templebeg Cemetery (Templemichael Church) during a 2006 trip to Ireland. When I took this photo I had no idea that I would eventually find the information useful. There were just so many family connections documented there I couldn’t resist it. The Thomas and Ellen McGrath family are described on the left hand side.

Coolbawn is a sub-townland located in the western half of the townland of Moyaliff, in the civil parish of Moyaliff along the western boundary of Holycross civil parish. Although Coolbawn is located in Upperchurch and Drombane RC parish the church at Holycross (Ballycahill and Holycross RC parish) is much closer, which explains why William and Catherine’s children were baptized there.

Church Records - Ballycahill and Holycross RC Marriage February 3, 1839 - William Ryan married Cathe Long, Res: None Wit. John Long and James Long

★ Catherine Long’s Parents?

John Long = Mary Magrath b. 1773 Mary erected the monument for her d. 30 Sept 1842, age 69 husband John but she doesn’t at Lisnagrough, Holycross appear to be buried in the same bur. Church of Ireland, plot. Holycross, Co. Tipperary

Catherine Long = William Ryan b. abt 1815-1820 mar. Feb 3, 1839, Ballycahill & Holycross RC

James Long = Nancy Kelly b. 1811, Thurles, Co. b. 1811, Ireland Tipperary, Ireland mar. in Ireland d. Jan. 24, 1883 d. 1892 bur. St. Patrick’s Cem., bur. St. Patrick’s Cem., Truxton, NY Truxton, NY

John Long (John proposed for generational buffering and successor to James Long in Glenreaghmore.)

Thomas Long (Sr.) = Catherine Ryan b. 1830, b. 1848, d. Apr 1892 m. Feb 24, 1867, Holycross, Co. Tipp. bur. Church of Ireland, d. Dec 1897 Holycross, Co. Tipperary bur. Church of Ireland, Holycross, Co. Tipperary

The above family tree was taken from: “Reaching Across The Penal Times” The following is stretching things a little bit but the witnesses at William Ryan and Catherine Long’s wedding were James and John Long. Based on that and Catherine’s birth about 1815 - 1820 based on her 1839 marriage then it is proposed that the James and John Long marriage witnesses are her brothers. Therefore it follows that John Long and Mary Magrath above are Catherine’s parents.

This pedigree diagram is used to guide the process of extending the Terence McGrath and Bridget Ryan family back in time. From Terence and Bridget going forward there are plenty of church and civil records to map out their descendants. The process of going backwards starts with an educated guess. This can be based on the Irish naming tradition, civil marriage records, or gravestone inscriptions. In the case above the backward extensions are shown as solid lines however, the proposed names, based on the naming tradition assumption, are in italics and are not bolded since they are tentative. Shown above is a minimum amount of information on three of the children of Terence and Bridget McGrath. More detailed information on these three children is found later in this section.

The connection of John McGrath (1816), son of James and Margaret McGrath, as the husband of Winifred Connell is based on (1) a common townland, (2) the naming tradition, as applied to John and Winifred McGrath’s children, and (3) age consistency: John’s 1816 baptism is consistent with a 1854 marriage.

Both Daniel candidates are of approximately the same age and would have been 22 at the time of the February 8, 1853 marriage to Margaret McGrath. The 2nd Daniel has the expected parental names (James and Bridget) based on the naming tradition but is further away from Turraheen (marriage location). While the 1st Daniel only has part of the expected parental names (James) the location of Upperchurch is closer to Turraheen. At this point the 1st Daniel appears to the Daniel Ryan who married Margaret McGrath.

Church Records - Margaret McGrath ■ November 6, 1832 - Margaret McGrath, Par. James McGrath and Judith Davern, Clonoulty RC, Res: Turraheen.

July 13, 1837 - Margaret McGrath, Par. Michael McGrath and Judith Ryan, Clonoulty RC, Res: Turraheen.

October 27, 1821 - Margaret McGrath, Par. John McGrath and Mary Chidle, Clomoulty RC, Res: Ballagh

June 11, 1830 - Margaret McGrath, Par. William McGrath and Ellen Doyle, Clonoulty RC, Res: None.

The 2nd Margaret would have been a 15-year old bride whereas the 1st Margaret would have been a 20-year old bride and both are from Turraheen. The 3rd and 4th Margaret are both from the same RC parish as were the 1st and 2nd so location isn’t an issue, however, both of these Margarets are a bit on the old side. The favorite here is the 1st Margaret because of her age and she was the only one with parental names consistence with the naming tradition.

NOTE: The name Mary Shanahan only showed up once, every other record referred to Patrick McGrath’s wife as Margaret Shanahan. If it is assumed that James and Winfred used the naming tradition in naming their children then James’ parents were named Patrick and Margaret. Assuming that “Mary” was a mistake is the choice most consistent with all the other records.

The Longs of Raheen, Holycross

✽ Raheen Long Pedigree ✽

Richard Long Lawrence Long, Sen John Long, Sen Patrick Long, Sen

Kennedy Long Lawrence Long, Jun John Long, Jun Patrick Long, Jun

The baptism records for the children Kennedy Long, Lawrence Long, Jun, and John Long, Jun are found in the Ballycahill and Holycross RC parish registers. The existence of the Sen / Jun pairs is supported by the Griffith’s Valuation (GV) for Raheen - shown in the table below. Kennedy Long was not found in the GV since the family had immigrated to Hoosick Falls, NY in 1848. The existence Richard Long was based on the assumption that Kennedy Long’s first son was named after his father. The church records gave Lisnagrough as the residence of Lawrence, Jun and John, Jun which is the next townland southwest of Raheen. The GV shows Lawrence, Jun had moved to Raheen by the time of the GV. This geographic closeness makes it to assume that all four of these Long families might be related. The dashed lines at the top of the pedigree express the possible existence of a connection.

Margaret (1872) and Patrick’s (1874) father’s name, James, is supported by the civil marriage records of Margaret to Michael Dwyer and Patrick to Ellen Long. Margaret had no children but the names of Patrick McGrath and Ellen Long’s children reinforce James as Patrick’s father. The census records for 1901 and 1911 furnished the information on the name of James’ (1841) wife as Johanna and the names of the other children. Oddly there were no civil or church records of James and Johanna’s marriage. No baptism or birth records could be found for any of their children. Only Margaret’s and Patrick’s civil marriage records could be found. This family required a great deal of reconstruction.

Church Records - James McGrath December 5, 1841 - James McGrath, Par. Jas. McGrath and Margt Hill, Clonoulty RC, Res: Ballagh, Sps. James Horan and Alicia Murphy. NOTE: This is the only child listed for these parents. Based on the naming tradition assumption these might be the parents of James McGrath of Glenbane.

★ John McGrath and Catherine Dempsey - Raheen, Holycross The original interest in this family was the connection to Raheen. An attempt was made to see if John was the father of Margaret and Patrick McGrath of Glenbane. There was a James/John ambiguity. A search was made of the Ballycahill and Holycross registers: Oct 1859 - 1876 and no marriage record was found for a James McGrath. A marriage record was found however for a similar but not the same person. This was a John McGrath of Raheen, Holycross.

Analysis: Attempting to make this John McGrath fit in as the father of Margaret and Patrick McGrath of Glenbane didn’t work out - there were too many discrepancies. (1) This is John and the marriage records of Margaret and Patrick gave their father as James. (2) This Margaret and Patrick were from Glenbane while John McGrath’s Margaret and Patrick from Raheen and Long House. Raheen is about 5 km north of Glenbane. (3) There is a difference in the birth years of these two sets of Margaret and Patrick McGraths which could be overlooked if not for (1) and (2).

These might not be the parents of Thomas Long. The Ancestry Index to the Parish Registers was checked and no Thomas Long was found in this family. However, since the commencement of the Ballycahill and Holycross parish registers was only 1835, there could be additional baptisms for each of the Laurence Long families which were not recorded. The naming tradition assumption applied to the names of Thomas Long and Bridget Ryan’s children yielded the names of Laurence Long and Margaret for Thomas’ parents. Of course, this early commencement year also puts Laurence and Margaret’s marriage record beyond the beginning of the church records. Therefore it is not possible to use the naming tradition assumption to predict the names of the parents of Laurence and his wife.

The Long Families of Rathkennan

✽Rathkennan Long Pedigree ✽

Lawrence Long Michael Long Thomas Long = Mary Brien = Honora Long = Bridget Dwyer

Patrick Long Michael Long = Julia Boyle = Bridget Fogarty

Richard Long = Anastasia Moloughney

All the families with a Rathkennan association, found in the records, were pulled together in this section. They were then arranged based on their generation. The top row of families in the pedigree chart above all had children who were baptized in the same decade. It is assumed that they are related and the dashed lines indicate a possible common set of parents. The Rathkennan baptism records typically show up in the Ballycahill-Holycross Rc parish registers, which sadly commence in 1835. Patrick Long’s first son was Lawrence and first daughter was Mary and so he was placed under Lawrence Long and Mary Brien. Michael’s first son was named Michael and so he was placed under Michael Long and Honora Long. This same Long couple had a son Richard born in 1841 and Richard Long marriage record gave his father as Michael Long and so he was placed under this couple.

Judith Long b. 28 Mar 1844, Holycross

Richard and Mary Costello Long were the parents of Bridget Long who married Patrick Toohey (s/o William Tuohy and Mary Fanning). Patrick and his family immigrated to Norwich, NY in 1874 and then moved to Colorado before moving to Butte, MT in the late 1890s. Bridget and Patrick’s family is shown in more detail in the next section. Source: Clare Tuohy’s family tree on Ancestry.com and Holycross parish records transcribed by Clare Tuohy. Richard Long apparently was married three times.

This Long family tree gives us something to throw stones at, in true Tipperary tradition. This proposal requires three marriage records to prove it or a headstone inscription that shows that Mary Cass did not die in the interval needed to disprove it. A simpler cause of the confusion would be that the priest wrote Connors instead of Cass in Mary Long’s baptismal record. Clare Tuohy has seen this Cass/Connors switch in other records.

APPENDIX

Populating The Pedigree Chart The Pedigree Chart The large number of generations represented on the pedigree charts found in this paper makes it almost impossible to describe the relationships in a general and unambiguous manner. However, such an attempt will be made. At the bottom of the pedigree chart are the children who represent the youngest generation. On the particular chart shown below there are five generations represented - from the children to the gg-grandparents. The four youngest generations are usually well documented while the oldest generation is an extrapolation from the better documented generations. That oldest generation on just about every pedigree chart will be a stretch that represents the best educated guesses that could be made based on the available information.

A typical pedigree chart will contain at most five generations. The process starts at the bottom with the youngest generation which will closely resemble the usual family tree, but with a reduced amount of information. Moving up the chart the individuals in the older generations will be named by their relationship to these children. Therefore in a five generation chart there are: children, parents, grandparents, g-grandparents, and gg-grandparents. Accommodating this number of individuals in a single chart requires ignoring a few individuals, by only tracing out the ancestors of one of the parents on a single chart. At each subsequent generation, ignoring an individual here and there, will leave more room for the others. This is needed in cases where much more information is sometimes known about one individual’s ancestors than the other.

The large number of individuals represented on the chart requires that only the essential information be displayed. The information that accompanies the individual names will usually be restricted to birth. marriage, and death years in addition to a location. In the case of the oldest generation this type of information will probably not be available, especially in those cases where the names have usually been determined or proposed through the naming tradition assumption. It is still necessary that this oldest generation convey as much information as possible. If the names of the individuals in the oldest generation have not been found in any records, i.e. inferred from the naming tradition or other means, then they will be displayed in italics and will not be bolded.

An estimate of the reliability of the proposed names in each generation needs to be made and in some manner indicated in the pedigree chart itself. The reasons for the variation in the reliabilities are dependent on the ability to determine the names of all the children in the family. This can be difficult when the marriage has taken place prior to the commencement of the parish registers for that locality. If the marriage record was found in the records and the first baptism

Reconstructing Families From the - 135 - Copyright © 2019 Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. Records 01-20-19 from that marriage are close enough to the marriage date then it can be reasonably assumed that there are no missing children on the front end. In the family tree case shown on the following page the vertical line extending to the predicted name of the individual is a solid line. If there is some uncertainty that all the baptism records have been found then a dotted vertical line is extended to the predicted name of the individual.

The basic problem plaguing the use of the pedigree chart and the cause of difficulties in trying to explain its use lies with the relatives and their multiple relationships within the family, ie. one person’s grandfather is another’s father. This labeling all depends on the individual’s point of reference. The only way around this multi-reference problem is to pick a basic reference point and then use it throughout the construction of the pedigree chart. In this paper the children in the youngest generation are chosen as that basic reference point. All the other individuals in the chart are described by their relationship to this youngest generation. This is most easily understood by studying the diagram shown below.

This process is driven by the existence of baptism records, or in some cases, birth records, and will therefore not continue forever, eventually the process will terminate at a final generation, when the records run out.

Table structure: The table initially contains only families from a single townland, satisfying (3) geographic proximity. Sorting families among the three columns handles (2) age compatibility. The column matching implements the (1) naming tradition assumption in building family connections. Stook is a sub-townland in the townland of Gortnaculrush. Gortnaculrush is in the Electoral Division of Clogher, in Civil Parish of Clogher, in the Barony of Kilnamanagh Lower, in the County of Tipperary The baptism records from the Irish Parish Registers have previously been grouped into families and organized by surname and RC parish [see Note 1]. Within each parish the families are organized into separate tables for male and female parents of the selected surname. In Clonoulty RC parish, for example, there is one set of tables for male McGraths and a separate set of tables for female McGraths. An individual family tree was created for each family that had four or more baptism records. Within one set of tables the families are organized by the given name of the McGrath parents. For a given McGrath first name the families are ordered within the table by the date of the first baptism for each family. This provides an approximate chronological order within the table. The goal of this exercise is to create larger families by combining the earlier constructed individual families described in the previous paragraph. This process is guided by assuming that (1) families used the naming tradition: 1st born son and daughter are named after the paternal grandparents and the 2nd born son and daughter are named after the maternal grandparents; (2) the fathers’ age is compatible with its placement; (3) the families are geographically close. The selection of the connections between the families is such that the number and degree of any inconsistencies are minimized.

This approach for matching up the families is not perfect since some families didn’t always follow the naming tradition consistently; marriages occurred between individuals who did not live geographically close to each other and sometimes there were large differences in the ages of the couple being married. One way to implement this process is to create a table of three columns and with as many rows as needed. In reviewing the RC parish of Clonoulty Male table [see mcgrathsearch.com ➜ The Families in Ireland ➜ Family Records ➜ McGrath ➜ Clonoulty], which started in 1804, the families within a given townland seem to fall into three approximate groups: 1804-1815; 1830-1850; 1860-1875. These are approximate time periods but the grouping effect is easily discerned. For a given townland, with a significant number of families, copy and paste the families from the web site PDF table into the time appropriate column of the three column table just created. Then try to match up the families in the 2nd (middle) column with one of the families in the first column. There might be multiple families in the 2nd column that match up with a family in the 1st column. Then repeat the process lining up families from the 3rd column with families in the 2nd column. Again, many to one matches are permissible. In the table above an apparent match up has been found for three male McGrath families in the sub-townland of Stook. They are obviously geographically close, since they are all in the same townland (Gortacoolrush). The age differences seem compatible (handled by the column sorting) and the naming tradition along the male line is seen to have been followed consistently. This appears to be a perfect match except for one thing. The Patrick Magrath baptized in 1815 cannot be the Patrick McGrath in the 2nd column because the 1815 Patrick died young and his family never reused the name for another child. This information came from the inscription on his father’s [James McGrath (1796-1833)] gravestone in Clonoulty graveyard. This demonstrates that these process results represent a proposed set of family connections which are reasonable but cannot be guaranteed to be correct even though all three criteria are satisfied. As a next step the geographic requirement can be relaxed. The surrounding RC parishes didn’t commence as early as Clonoulty (1804) so there is no need to search those parishes for a James and Margaret McGrath family. Fortunately, there is another James and Margaret McGrath family in the nearby townland of Clonoulty (probably Clonoulty Curragh) in the same RC parish. There is a Patrick in this family who had been baptized on March 7, 1831.

Church Records - Clonoulty As originally constructed there was only one James Magrath - Mary Dwyer family in Clonoulty RC parish. The families were constructed via an algorithm and although it could handle surname spelling variations and given name equivalents (such as Maggie, Peggy, etc for Margaret) it could not resolve families of identical names. In Clonoulty there were two James Magrath and Mary Dwyer families. The separation of these two families required user intervention and special tools were provided to accomplish the separation without ruining the structure of the spreadsheet. The original merged family showed an alternating residence pattern between Stook (Gortnaculrush townland) and Clonoulty. This alternation is not unusual but a couple baptism

Reconstructing Families From the - 139 - Copyright © 2019 Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. Records 01-20-19 dates were too close together - less than 9 months apart. A search was made for multiple marriage records with the following results:

February 10, 1823 - James Magrath married Mary Dwyer, Res: None Wit. Tim Dwyer, John Quinlan and Phillip Magrath. Priest: Rev. P. Molony.

No marriage record was found for James Magrath and Mary Dwyer of Stook from 1815 all the way back to the beginning of the Clonoulty records in 1804.

In this case it was possible to make a clean separation of the Stook and Clonoulty baptisms. The two separated families are shown in column 1 of the table on a previous page.
