I am researching my grandmother's family who resided in Moneymore, Castlerickard, Meath--as recorded in the 1901 and 1911 census. I would like to find descendants who may still live in Ireland, particularly since I will be in Ireland in September and visiting the Trim/Longwood area in the beginning of October. Also, any people/families who might remember the Tyrrell family---probably my grandmother's siblings. I would also like to visit Moneymore, if there are still houses there.
I have my grandmother's birth record and her marriage certificate, obtained from the government of Ireland. In addition I have obtained information from the 1901 and 1911 census and abstracts of birth records obtained through Ancestry.com.
Family Data:
My grandmother: Rose TYRRELL, born 1885 in Meath (Longwood area). According to the 1901 census, my grandmother was a servant in a household in Garrisker (Ballynadrummy, Kildare, residing with Bridget Miggin, age 61, born in Meath. Rose was married in 1902 to Richard John TOBIN, in Longwood, in the RC church. She emigated to the U.S. in 1903. Through my grandparents, I have Irish citizenship, which has been recorded.
The TYRRELL family resided at Moneymore, Castlerickard, Meath, Ireland, according to the 1901 and 1911 census materials.
My great grandparents:
James TYRRELL (I can't locate birth or baptismal record, though Census shows born in County Meath)
Eliza McCANN (I can't locate birth or baptismal record, though Census shows born in County Meath)
The childlren of James and Eliza--my great aunts and uncles, the siblings of my grandmother Rose. I have names of more, but can only find records for the following:
Eliza TYRRELL---born 25 Jan 1875, per abstract of birth record showing parents, above.
Married in approximately 1907--married name BURKE.
Michael TYRRELL---born 8 Feb 1877, per abstract of birth record showing parents, above
Patrick TYRRELL---born 9 Mar 1879, per abstract of birth record showing parents, above
Bridget TYRRELL---born 27 Mar 1870, per abstract of birth record showing parents, above
Thomas TYRRELL---born 19 Nov 1871, per abstract of birth record showing parents, above
The grandchildren of James and Eliza:
Elizabeth BURKE, daughter of Eliza TYRRELL and ________ BURKE, born ~1908.
The neighbors in Moneymore in 1901:
Maguire, Kennedy, Malone, Mathews, Murtagh, Cusack.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I dearly loved my Grandmother, Rose, and it would mean a lot to get more information about her familiy and descendents of the TYRRELLS.
