Looking for information on the McQuillan family from Ireland.
My grt grt grandfather Patrick McQuillan born 1823. He came from Ireland to Glasgow, His parents were Owen & Ann (nee Murphy) who were farmers in Ireland.

I think the chances are good that you are searching for my grandfather. Have a look at my McQuillan tree. My mother's name was Frances Joan McQuillan. she was the second youngest of 10 children. One, Honora, died as an infant. Edward's wife's name was Mary Sarah Fearon.

rray591 — 2009-08-01 22:50:04Z

My Grand Father was James Murray McQuillan. My father was born into a large family in 1915 as the youngest of nine children. This possibly fits the profile I have my fathers birth certificate but nothing earlier.

Your website looks great - who can I talk to about creating the same for Carragher? (See my site http://carragher.net - wanting to do the same as you've done for McQuillan).

I am a descendant of their son James who immigrated to Australia at 18. I have a copy of the family tree listing all decendants from his marriage to Catherine (Kate) Zeller up to and including myself. I know that James' father John was born in 1810 and that Mary was born in 1814 and they were married in 1832 in Ireland.

I would be happy to share and compare any of this information with you and am interested in finding out where John came from and tracing this tree further back. my email is kim_jordan@aapt.net.au

Re: Richard McQuillan

patriciatanner1 — 2008-05-16 13:37:57Z

Correction to posting re Richard McQuillan and Frances Hubbart, they married in the year 1725 at St Anns, Dublin.

Richard McQuillan

patriciatanner1 — 2008-05-16 13:35:55Z

Information required on Richard McQuillan born in Ireland, no birth date, but he married in Dublin in 1727 at St Anns, Dublin to Frances Hubbart who was the daughter of William Hubbart, Councillor. It is understood that Richard and Frances had 10 children. Richard was a Lawyer and eventually ended up in London, UK.

Hi Caroline,
It is extremely kind of you to offer to help research the church records. If there is any way I can do some research for you here in Northern California, please let me know. My branch of the McQuillans were Catholic. Unfortunately, I don't know where in Co. Louth they lived.
Andy

Re: McQuillan

aconeil — 2008-11-27 16:42:39Z

Hi Caroline,

I wanted to provide you with some additional information in case it would assist your relatives in Co. Louth Patrick and Margaret McQuillan, of County Louth, had the following children: Mary Ann (Born 1828) Andrew (Born: ca. 1832, Died: ca December 1867), Ann (Born: ca. 1838, Died: ca. 1872), Margaret (Born: November 1839, Died: April 8, 1909), and Julia (Born: ca 1845, Died: October 15, 1918). There are two additional sibling possibilities: Elizabeth (Born: ca. 1831, Died: December 13, 1848) and Charles (Born: ca. 1846). The supposition that Elizabeth and Charles are additional siblings is based solely on conjecture. These two were traveling with Mary Ann on her trip to the United States in 1849. Elizabeth and Charles' respective ages also fit nicely into the McQuillan family, along with my assumptions surrounding the shipping records described above. It would be exciting if anyone in your family could provide information to help my search. I haven't made much progress in quite some time. Thanks again for your help!
Andy O'Neil

Re: McQuillan

aconeil — 2008-10-08 03:02:56Z

Hi Caroline,
Thank you for your very generous offer. I would greatly appreciate if you could inquire with your relatives from Co. Louth re: my McQuillan ancesters. I really don't have any other information to offer other than that which was included in my original post. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with the inquiry. Again, thank you for your help. I'll cross my fingers until I hear back from you.

elcathar — 2008-04-17 14:15:05Z

Hi. My name is Jim McQuillan, born Scotland, near the city of glasgow Clydebank. Iam retired now and living in Spain. I my sojourns through France I happened upon a little French Town, Called Quillan, it,s near foix deep down in the south west. So there might be a connection there!!! leading on to a religious heritic sept called the Cathars. THey have a fascinating history, and were percecuted almost to extinction by the Pope and a very jealous king of France, Philip The Fair. Worth researching as my theory is that the Mcq's fled to Scotland or Ulster around the time Scotland and England were at war with each other culminating with the battle of Bannock Burn, Stirling, with an English defeat.
