John Meagher - Nova Scotia

jonathan_cameron — 2009-11-14 03:46:52Z

I'm looking for information on the parents and relatives to John Meagher (1809-1867) who was born Mount Thom, Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada and who married Phebe Ann Mabee about 1838 in Colchester county.

On his death registry it states John's father was Thomas Meagher, a Butcher who would have been born in the mid to late 1700s. I suspect Thomas was originally from Tipperary and it appears John may have had relatives living in Halifax in the 1860s and 70s.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: MEAGHER from Tipperary to Brooklyn NY

My family is also Meagher's and has two plots at Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn. One of them has my grand parents and great grand parents plus quite a few other Meagher relatives. The other one has both Meagher's and McCabe's. My Meagher's are also from Tipperary and settled in Brooklyn although I don't think they are the same Meagher's as the names in your previous post are not familiar. You can email me at petekev65@aol.com if you want as I do not come on this board often.

Re: o'meagher - family tree

dre95947 — 2009-09-08 00:37:36Z

Catherine my mother was Frances O'Meagher she had a brother Ron who was in the airforce during WWll. He had I thought one son Keith and one daughter (?), Keith was killed in a tractor accident(?)I don't know when. The daughter is a bank manager. My mother and Uncle Ron had two sisters Auntie Margaret and I don't know the others name as she was adopted by a maiden aunt. Both became nuns in the mercy order and can be traced thru' their records. They were all born in FernTree Gully now (?) as their Father Lloyd had an orchard of 500 acres. I don't know if this is related to you or not but the name Frances seems to be a family name and I believe they originally came from Waterford and one brother was sent to Tasmania of which I have info if you think this is relative to you.

My great Grand Uncle, Michael Cavanagh, wrote "Memoirs of General Thomas Francis Meagher." It was first published in 1892 by the Messenger Press in Worchester, MA. The first chapters tell in detail about his family in Ireland. The book tells of his marriage to Miss Bennett and her death in childbirth. His second marriage to Elizabeth Townsend took place in NY in the Spring of 1856.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

We are definitely related. You are from Cornelius the fourth child. I'm from the third child, his older brother Jeremiah. If you wish more info. on the son Jeremiah Curtin's marriage to Mary Dore, e-mail me at atrepp82@yahoo.com. I also have a Meagher in the family, from later on in that line.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jbuckley35 — 2009-05-31 11:46:24Z

Ellen Curtin married William Delee and they lived in Glenmore. Jeremiah Curtin married a Dore woman, they lived in Templeglantine but had a farm in Ballyquirk. Jeremiah's wife died in childbirth and he died shortly after. Their two youngest children were Patrick and Mary. Patrick went to live with his uncle Con Curtin in Monagea and Mary was sent to live with the Delees in Glenmore. I don't know what happened the older children. Is this the same crowd?

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

atrepp — 2009-05-31 03:48:44Z

Your g-g-g-father and mine might be the same. My Jeremiah Curtin and Honora Hartnett married 2/19/1787, in Monagea Parish. Hanora was from Cragg, Mt. Collins. Jeremiah Curtin was born 1750/60's, originally from Ballycommane Townland, Parish of Killeedy. They had 7 children. The one missing from your list is Ellen. My branch is from their son Jeremiah's.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jackdog93 — 2009-05-30 23:57:10Z

I don't think so. My Honora Hartnett married Michael Meagher on Aug 30, 1868, 30 years after your Honora Hartnett's son married. Thanks for answering the post,
Jack

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jbuckley35 — 2009-05-30 23:35:56Z

My ggggrandparents were Honora Hartnett and Jeremiah Curtin also. They lived in Tournafulla and their son Cornelius married Catherine Moore also at Monagea in 1837. They had other children Mary, Johanna, John, Jeremiah and probably more. Are they the same family i wonder?

Hello. I have been helping my wife trace her ancestors and she is the g-granddaughter of Michael Meagher and Pauline Vick. Her grandmother is Alma Pauline Meagher. I would be interested in conversing with you as I have some data and some pictures to share. I will do a bit more digging in my records to compile this family for you. Let me know if you are interested.

Re: Meagher/Magher

I have neglected this site for a while. I didn't realize you had responded. I would love to get in touch with you to review some history.
I live in Baltimore. Michael and Pauline were my great-great grandparents.
I do hope to hear from you. I have exhausted all of my sources of information.

Hello,

My great great grandfather and grandmother (Patrick and Mary Connelly Meagher) would have emigrated to the US right about the same time as Austin Meagher and eventually settled in Duluth, MN. Did Austin happen to have a brother (or cousin?)named Patrick that married a woman by the name of Mary J Connelly?

Interested in any info you might have. Thanks.

Re: John Meagher of the parish of Thurless, Tipperary County

No, I do not know the names of Martin Meagher's parents. Unfortunately I cannot find where he was buried nor when he died. His son, John's, Baltimore, MD 1879 obituary indicates Martin and Mary predeceased him.

Re: John Meagher of the parish of Thurless, Tipperary County

Rosamond — 2008-12-09 20:04:58Z

Was Mary married to Martin Meagher? My grandfather's parents were Martin and Mary Meagher. If so, we are definitely related.

Re: John Meagher of the parish of Thurless, Tipperary County

Rosamond — 2008-11-20 20:21:14Z

John Meagher was the brother of my grandfather, Michael Meagher/Martin. The Meagher name was changed to Martin. My father was a son of Michael Martin (Meagher). Are you related?

Re: Meagher/Magher

Rosamond — 2008-11-20 20:14:43Z

Michael and Pauline Martin were my grandparents. My father, Harry Martin, was one of their thirteen children. Yes, they did change their name from Meagher to Martin. How are you related? Where do you live?

Re: Meagher Family from Thurles

I have a Michael Meagher who died in 1910 in Valparaiso, Indiana. He was born in 1823 at Burrisbeg, near Templemore, Co Tipperary. He immigrated in 1848 and married Ellen Delehanty in New York. They had seven children.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

atrepp — 2008-05-14 04:14:26Z

I agree with you. I didn't feel they were the same Honora, only that if you didn't know where your Honora was from in Ireland, you might look to the Cragg, Mt. Collins area for your Honora's Hartnetts. My Honora was married to J. Curtin in Monagea, which is a parish or two over from Mt. Collins, in Co. Limerick. Her godfather was John Hartnett.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

Jack,
I have a Honora Hartnett in my family. She was from Cragg, Mt. Collins, Co. Limerick. She married Jeremiah Curtain in 1787. She had 6 children with Jeremiah, and died before 1833. Don't think we're related but you might try searching records of where my Hartnetts originated as more may be found. Maybe cyndislist.com, and look for Catholic parish around Cragg, Mt. Collins.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jackdog93 — 2008-05-14 21:49:10Z

My greatgrandmother was the daughter of James C. Keating and Emma Meagher. James C. Keating was born 3-7-1864 in Walkerton, Ontario, and Emma Meagher was born 7-6-1869 in Grove, Minnesota. Her parents were Michael and Honora (Hartnett) Meagher. They were both born in 1843 in Ireland. Michael Meagher was a private in Co. D. of the 1st Minn. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment Mounted Rangers. He enlisted on October 16, 1862, and was discharged on November 4, 1863. He married Honora between 1863 and 1868, and they had eight or nine children. Michael Meagher received a disability pension. He and Honora died after 1893.
That is all I know about Michael and Honora Meagher.
Can anyone help with dates and parents?
-Jack

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jackdog93 — 2008-05-17 01:04:54Z

I have two questions, and a couple answers.

First off, does anyone know who Michael and Honora Meagher's parents are, and 2) when did they die?

For the answers I have, the only thing I know about where they came from in Ireland in Northern Ireland. I was looking at a census of the James C Keating family, and Emma Keating's (Meagher) parents were listed as born in Northern Ireland. That's all I know about that.

As for the next answer, after 1880, they lived in Birchdale, in Todd County, Minnesota, with eight (8) children:
John, Emma, William, James, Denis, Margaret, Michael, and Maurice. They had another son Thomas born before Denis who might be going by James (middle name?).
The last record I've found of Michael and Honora Meagher is Michael Meagher's pension card. It is dated May 18, 1893, so after 1893, he and Honora died. That's all I know about that.

I think that Honora's parents may be Maurice and Margaret Hartnett, but I'm not sure.

If anyone can answer these questions, or use the answers, that would be great.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jackdog93 — 2008-05-10 21:45:48Z

THANK YOU for replying! I just hope you get this message. I read the postem on Margaret Patton Meagher, and saw that Honora's maiden name was Hartnett. I was was excited! I've been searching for her maiden name since November 2005. Honora is my ggg-grandmother, and I've been doing my grandma's family tree because grandma's mom died when she was 1 1/2. Her name was Estella Keating.
You listed Honora's maiden name as Horrocks. Is it Horrocks or Hartnett? I've thought it was something else. I've thought it was Graham, Patton, and Valery.
I hope you get this message!
-Jack

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jackdog93 — 2008-05-14 02:13:45Z

My Honora Hartnett was born in 1843 in Ireland. These two might be related in some way, but she is not the Honora I am looking for.
She married Michael Meagher between 1863 and 1868, and had eight or nine children with him.
She died after 1893.
-Jack

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

jackdog93 — 2008-05-13 02:21:45Z

Thank you for replying so fast.
So, Honora's maiden name was Hartnett? Just to verify it one last time.
I've discovered a little tidbit about her husband Michael Meagher. He served in the Civil War. I have his enlistment information and the battles was in, and his regiment, but I have no picture of him. DO you have a picture of Michael and/or Honora Meagher?
Well, I'm pretty glad that the whole 2 1/2 year search for Honora's maiden name is finally over. I've gone searching for her under many different maiden names - all of which were wrong.
Do you have any information on when Michael and Honora Meagher died? What about their parents? Do you know anything about their daughter,my greatgreatgrandma Emma Meagher Keating? I've been looking for her date of marriage to James C. Keating.
Once again, thank you fo replying SO quickly, and if you can answer any of the above questions, I would be very happy.

Thanks!

Bridget ( Meagher ) Connors of Lowell, MA. and Ireland

jeanmayo1053 — 2008-09-28 22:04:40Z

I am searching for information concerning Bridget ( Meagher ) Connors, widow of Thomas Connors in Ireland ( place unknown ), who immigrated to Lowell, MA. in ca. 1889 from Ireland, with daughters: Bridget ( a.k.a. Delia ), Mary, Ellen, Sarah, and Ann Connors. Family tradition states that they immigrated two at a time. Bridget ( Delia ) Connors married Patrick Farrell, son of Thomas and Kate Farrell of County Limerick, Maine, in 1895 in Lowell, MA. Any information concerning Bridget ( Meagher ) Connors and her origins in Ireland would be very much appreciated.

Re: Michael and Honora Meagher

gerryaramsay — 2008-05-12 04:15:34Z

According to my Aunt Kay's family tree(handwritten) Honora's last name was Hartnett. She was my Great-Grandmother, my Grandmother was Margaret Meagher. She married a Patton, who died, left her with a son, Walter, she later married my Grandfather, John Patrick Keating(known as Jack. Unfortunately, all Kay put was that they were from Ireland but no DOB, and she is now 94, and has dementia. So I am at a dead-end.

Re: Martin Meagher

cautiouscowboy — 2008-08-30 00:58:28Z

I would suggest that you may mean "Roscrea", which is in County Tipperary. The Meaghers had land close to a mountain called "The Devil's Bit" in the Barony of Ikerrin.

There were a lot of us back then. Sorting things out in 1822 is tough. We are as far back as 1811 in the townland of Ballybristy, but the name had changed by then.
