Byrne (1831-2005)
Pre and post famine
Notes:
- Tithe:
No Byrne in Mohorra.
-
Earliest record in Mohorra was for Daniel Byrne, 1832 marriage. No children
baptized in the parish.
-
Michael Byrne (born c 1789) and Nappy Naughton had children in Mohorra in the early to mid 1830s.
Their son, Thomas, married and
had a family in Mohorra and was listed in the 1901 and 1911 censuses in Mohorra.
Their daughter, Nappy, married
Mathias Langan in Mohorra. Subsequently Nappy and Mathias lived in Ballinrobe for a time.
They returned to Mohorra between
1872 and 1875 (exact dates unknown). Sometime before 1877 they moved back to Ballinrobe. In 1892 Nappy, Mathias, and their two
youngest children followed their three oldest children to New York City.
Byrne Records in Mocorha
Because Michael Byrne and Nappy Naughton were my direct line ancestors I have a more complete picture of their lives than
of others in Mohorra.
- Daniel Berne and Honor Noone (1832)
There is not enough substantiating evidence to count Daniel Berne as a resident of Mohorra.
Marriage: Daniel Berne to Honor Noone, witnesses Pat Murphy and Cate Berne, March 5, 1832, Mohorra
Children: There are no baptismal records of children of Daniel Berne and Honor Noone in Shrule parish
Note: It is highly likely that the marriage occurred in Mohorra because the bride was a Mohorra Noone.

Michael Byrne (Berren) [] (1789- and Nappy Naughton (1813-1877)
and their son, Thomas Byrne [] and Mary Biggins (1840-1911)
The second Byrne record in Mohorra was the baptism of Margaret, the daughter of Michael Byrne and Nappy Naughton, in 1833.
This family of Brynes were in the Mohorra/Tubbersharive records from 1833 to 1911.
Birth of Michael Byrne:
Circa 1789 (Tombstone). Place and parents unknown.
Birth of Nappy Naughton: Nappy Naughton was born circa 1813
(Tombstone). Place and parents unknown. Note If the birth
dates on the tombstone are
correct, Michael was 24 years older
than Nappy.
Marriage: Before 1831 (based on the estimated birth of their presumed son, Peter).
Occupation of Michael Byrne: In 1865, at the marriage of his daughter, Nappy, Michael Berren (Bryne) was described
as a "poor tenant'.
Children:
- Peter (1831-1917)
Peter born circa 1831 (not listed in the baptismal records)
Marriage: Mary ____, date and place unknown, born circa 1834 (SMFRC)

Griffith:
1901 Census in Mohorra: Peter Byrne, cannot read, widower, age 70, farmer, landholder,
Thomas Byrne, Irish/English speaker
1911 Census: Peter Byrne, can read and write, widower, old age pensioner, age 80, landholder, Thomas Byrne,
Irish/English speaker.
Notes: - There were a number of older folk in Mohorra listed in the 1901 census "cannot read or write"
and in the 1911 census "can read and write". There must have been some local literacy program. He made "his mark"
in 1901 and signed the form in 1911. His brother, Thomas was listed in both censuses "cannot read or write".
However, he made "his mark" in 1901 and signed in 1911.
- SMFRC says Peter is the "presumed son of Michael and Penelope".
- He is connected to Michael and Penelope's son, Thomas Byrne, in that Thomas
was the landholder of the property where Peter lived in both the 1901 and 1911 census.
- He was listed on the Byrne Family Tombstone as the "brother in law of Mary Byrne, the wife of Thomas Byrne
Question? What are the issues that Thomas became the landholder instead of Peter
if Peter is presumed to have been Thomas' older brother?

was the landlord.
Death of Nappy Naughton Byrne: November 17, 1877, widow, age 60.
Note on the Bryne Household in Mohorra from 1872-1875 :
From at least 1872 to 1875, Nappy Byrne Langan (daughter of Michael Byrne and Nappy Naughton) and her husband, Mathias,
Langan lived in Mohorra. There son Martin was born in Mohorra in 1872 and their daughter, Maggie, was born in Mohorra in 1875.
Although the civil record lists Mohorra as the place of birth, Martin's baptism was not recorded in the Shrule parish records.
In 1872 Mathias Langan was listed in the civil records as a "farmer".
Mathias Langan is never listed in the Griffith in Shrule parish. Therefore he and his family were living with
some other "occupier" between 1872 and 1875. This was certainly Nappy Naughton Byrne at #2a. At the birth of
Margaret Langan in November the household at #2a consisted of: Nappy Naughton Byrne, her son, Thomas, his wife,
Mary Biggins Byrne, their daughter, Margaret (born in March 1875), Nappy Byrne Langan, her husband, Mathias Langan,
their children, Pat, age 9, Martin, age 3, and the newborn, Margaret. It is possible that Mathias Langan's brother,
Pat Langan "of Mohorra" who was "present at the birth" was also living with them. In addition
Nappy's brother, Peter Byrne, was also never listed in the Griffith and so must have been
living with another "occupier" which
was most likely, Nappy Naughton Byrne et al.
General Notes
Only listings in the 1901 census in Shrule parish were for Thomas and Peter in Mohorra
Byrne in Mohorra today
The descendants of Michael Byrne and Nappy Naughton still live in Mohorra.

Notes: -
Although the spelling of Mary's surname is different between 1877 and 1884,
her children as listed in the censuses indicate that she was the same person.
- The Baptisms of Patrick, Bridget and Mary are missing from the Shrule parish records. The missing record
for Patrick could be explained by the fact that the Conroys may not have been living in the parish at the time of his birth.
The missing records for Bridget circa 1881 and Mary circa 1884 are more suspect. It is more likely
that they are simply missing.
- * Emigrated to California per letter 1938. See below.
- Pat, Catherine (Kate), Michael, John, Thomas and Mary did not married per letters 1938

Notes:
- The ages of the children do not agree between the 1901 and 1911 censuses, although the order is the same.
- Edward Lywell took the 1901 census in Mohorra. For most of the entries under "Where Born"
he simply wrote Co Mayo or Co Galway. For the families of Michael Byrne, James Varrily and Michael Conroy
he added letters after the county name. I do not know what the W. R. stands for, but I assume
that S stands for Shrule.
- In the 1901 Census it indicated that May was born in Galway in the 1911 census it indicates Mayo
Griffith:
4a, house and 1/3 share in 99 acres.
Michael Conroy took over the listing at 4a from John Mulrooney in 1869.
I am missing the page in the 1897+ ledger.

Sponsor:
Margaret of Thomas Byrne and Mary Biggins, sponsors Redmond Neafsey and Anne Conry, March 10, 1875, Tubbersharive.
General Notes
Superficially it would appear the Conways left Mohorra before the 1856 Griffith and another Conroy branch arrived in Mohorra in 1869. However, the records clearly have large holes in them and it is also possible that the Conways remained in Mohorra the whole while.
Conway
Pre and post famine
Notes:
-
There were Conways in the 1901 census in Shrule parish and in the later records for Shrule parish.

General Notes
Pre-famine
Other pre-famine Conway families in the parish: Dick Conway and Honor Lyden of both Graffee and Mount Henry had children between 1832 and 1844, Michael Conway and Mary Staunton of Shrule town had children between 1841 and 1844, James Conway and Anne Laffy had a child in Ravenhill in 1845, and Thomas Conway and Mary Whelan had a child in Ramolin in 1846. These four families had at least 5 sons, Pat, Martin, Thomas, Peter and James. Both the names Martin and Peter reappear as post-famine records.
Post-famine
The only Griffith listing was for Richard Conway in Cloghmoyne with a house and land.
Post-famine church records: - Peter Conway married Margaret Gilmore in 1860
- Martin Conway married Bridget Hennely in 1868
- Ellen Conway married Michael McHugh in 1876
- Peter Conway married Helen Toher in 1892
- Dick Conway and Ellen Petty of Kilroe and Mount Henry had children in 1871 and 1873.
Peter Conway was listed in Ballycurrin Demesne in the 1901 census.
Conclusion:
Mary and Bridget (the sponsors in Mohorra in 1833) did not necessarily live in Mohorra.
There a sparse but continuous records for Reilly in Mohorra from 1834 to 1911. Martin
Conway and Cate Reilly were the sponsors to a daughter of Michael Reilly and
Cate Moghan in 1841. Superficially, it appears that the Conway connection to Mohorra
was through Cate Reilly Conway.
Costello (1833-1871)
Pre and post famine
Notes: - There were no listings for Costello in Shrule parish in the 1901 census.

Moharra only for about the ten years from

Churched: Mrs. Daniel Fallon, Tubbersharive, July 11, 1858
Note: Churching was a blessing after childbirth. However, I have found that for
most of the churchings in
Shrule parish there is no corresponding
baptism so perhaps it was
a blessing after a miscarriage.

Fitzgerald (1825-1911)
Pre and post famine
Notes:
-
The Fitzgeralds were one of the four families in Mohorra/Tubbersharive who
were in the records from the tithe to the 1911 census.
- They were the only family to be listed from the 1825 Tithe to the 1911
Census in Mocorha. John Fitzgerald was listed in the Tithe Applotment in 1825 with 60 acres of
land in "Mocorrow".
- By the time the records started in the 1830s there were two Fitzgerald families in
Mohorra:
- John Fitzgerald and Mary Lee who had a daughter in Mohorra in 1831
- Patrick Fitzgerald and Mary O'Hara who had children in Mohorra between 1837-46
- John Fitzgerald and Sarah Crisham Fitzgerald had children between
1844 and 1861 (?). I believe that two of
their children, Thomas and William, were listed in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
-
There were three listings for Fitzgerald in Mohorra in the 1901 census: William,
Michael and Thomas.
- There were four listings for Fitzgerald in the 1911 census: Bridget, Michael, Julia
(the widow of Thomas) and William

Half of them were for Fitzgeralds in Mohorra.

The numbers get moved around a little but it is basically the same thing from 1855-1883.
I am missing the page that contains numbers 5, 6 7 and 8 in the 1883 to 1897 ledger. so I do not know who was at this property
after 1880.
#20
1857 John Fitzgerald and Pat Fitzgerald are sharing 38+ acres
Patrick Fitzgerald continued at #20 until at least 1897

Thomas Fitzgerald [] (c 1851 - ?) and Judith (Julia) McEvaddy (and other variations), Mohorra
Born: Circa 1851 (1901 census). No record Shrule Parish.
Most likely the son of John Fitzgerald and Sarah Crisham Fitzgerald: He is the right age
and was listed at two properties with Sarah Fitzgerald. However, there is always the
possibility that he is related in some other way.

- Julia of Thomas Fitzgerald and Judith McEvaddy, November 3, 1895, Mohorra
(www.shrule.com)
1911: In Mohorra
Note: The maiden name of Judith Fitzgerald is all over the place and two of the births are
too close together to be possible for the same mother. However, Thomas, Mary, Bridget, Martin
and Julia were listed in
the 1901 census with Thomas and "Julia" Fitzgerald, so it is most likely that the
children were all born to the
same mother. Judith's maiden names at the births were: Cassidy, McKeany and McEvaddy. The year and place of her birth
is also different between the 1901 census and the 1911 census. This is common in census information.
Emigration: Nothing obvious for any of the Fitzgerald children through Ellis Island or Boston.

-
William Fitzgerald [] (circa 1852- ?) and Maria Madden, Mohorra
Birth: Either c 1861 or 1852 (conflicting data in the 1901 and 1911 censuses) Most likely the son of John Fitzgerald and

- John Fitzgerald 1856 to 1878 (or 1880)
- 1878 (or 1880) John was crossed out and Sarah Fitzgerald was entered. It is not clear on the copy
that I have why there are two dates. However, since Sarah was John's wife it can be assumed that John
died and Sarah took over the property in either 1878 or 1880. Sarah Fitzgerald was also added with James D Meldon as the
immediate lessor.
- 1884 or 1895 Sarah Fitzgerald was replaced by William Fitzgerald at #9, 10 and 11a. Both dates were listed and it is
not clear what they mean (However, at # 20 where the same change was made only the 1895 date was noted in the margin.).
Sarah Fitzgerald was still listed as the "Immediate Lessor".
- William was listed at 9-11 until at least 1897. William was listed in Mohorra the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
- There was another change at #9, #10, and #11a. I can't tell exactly when it occurred. In the 1865 ledger only
John Fitzgerald was listed. In the ledger with dates from 1866 to 1880, Thomas Fitzgerald was also entered. So that
from that ledger on there were two Fitzgeralds listed at these numbers. I do not know if this change was made in
1866 when the ledger was new or in 1878/1880 when the notations were entered in the margin.
- William and Thomas were both listed at 9 though 11 until at least 1897.
