 Notes;

· Tummery is pronounced Chummery, more like Tchummery

· Barrett is pronounced Bar-it.

· Area is in acres - roods - perches

1. Acre: Originally, the amount plowed by a yoke of oxen in a day, and hence very variable. Legally, the area of a piece 40 poles long by 4 broad; that is 160 square rods (43,560 square feet).

2. Rood: one-fourth of an acre; or 40 square rods; 10,890 square feet


3. Perch: one rod; 5.5 yards; 16.5 feet. One square perch equals 1 square rod, or 272.25 square feet

· Rateable Annual Valuation of Land - cited in Pounds - Shillings - Pence


12 pence to the shilling

tuppence

thruppence

half crown

20 shillings to the pound

21 shillings to the "guinea"


· Just about everyone is listed as having and office. Do they work at home? Today a home office is a tax right off. Office (off.) & land (Office means out-building or maybe privy). An Office is an ‘Out-House’


 · Denis Barrett B1810 is the father of Mary Barrett and She is the wife of Thomas McQuaid B1835. Descendants of Dennis, through his son John, still live in Tummery today.


 · Partick McQuaid Map Ref # 60, can be found on another Ancestry tree. He was born Abt 1820. He could be the Brother or cousin to Thomas McQuaid B1812. Descendants of Patrick, through his son Patrick, still live in Tummery today.


 · Own McQuaid, Map Ref 11 a,b &c. I have no info on him.


 · There were 62 Plots of land in Tummery in 1860. Two of the Plots were for the National Schools. Plot 2B for Females & Plot 62b for Males. Of the remaining 60 plots. 4 were subdivided with 2 different renters. Thus there were 64 family groups living in Tummery in 1860.

Hello, My Grandmother Rose Ann McQuaid lived in County Tyronne, her Mother was called Cassey..and came to NYC for work as a cook/maid for the Hudson's (car)co. My Grandmother had 2 brothers John and Owen..one brother died on the day Cassie was buried and the other brother returned to Ireland I believe in the 50's..Grand mom RoseAnn came through Ellis Island..in 1921..listed as a British Subject..I really would like to visit dramore in Ireland..and try to meet and visit my long lost relatives..I believe that the brother that went back to Ireland

Rosalie, Please leave me your E-mail address,so I can respond. Need some Dates, of arrival. Where did they live in the US? Names 1st and last of your GGrand Parents and Grandparents.You are in luck, with a 1920's arrival of your Grandmother, the 1901 & 1911 Census records are on line. Also Civil Registration of birth started in 1864, so their birth, marriage and death will be recorded.

The information you provided here's extremely precious. It turned out a really pleasurable surprise to have that waiting for me while i awakened today. These are constantly to the issue and simple to be aware of. Thanks quite a bit for the valuable ideas you've got shared in this article.

Hey any idea if i might be related to this Thomas McQuaid? My great grandfather Francis McQuaid came to NY in 1920. Lists his contact person on the passenger list as T. McQuaid living in Dromore and address has "Grannon, M(something ineligible, Ire" ?

T.T. McQuaid said...

Kelsey, Please use the e-mail function on the HomePage to give me more ino on your family. The 1911 census of Dromore could give info.

T.T. McQuaid said...

Kelsey, There are 2 pages for the 1820 arrival in New York of Francis J. McQuaid. The 2nd page states, this is his 2nd time in the United States, the first time he stayed 15 years. He is going to see Mrs C. Minnerly and planning on staying 10 yrs. He was born in Millick, Ireland. The first page states his last residence was Dromore, Tyrone. There is no Millick in Ireland, but there is a Millix in Tyrone. In Errigal Keerogue Parish, Dungannon PLU. South of Dromore. I found his departure from New York and arrival in Liverpool in 1917, so he first came to the US Abt 1900 + or - a few years. On Ancestry.com see 1920 arrival (scroll to 2nd page) http://interactive.ancestry.com/7488/NYT715_2750-0261/4015972360?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2f%2fcgi-bin%2fsse.dll%3findiv%3d1%26db%3dnypl%26rank%3d1%26new%3d1%26MSAV%3d1%26gss%3dangs-d%26gsfn%3dFran*%26gsln%3dMcQuaid%26msbpn__ftp%3dIreland%26msbpn%3d3250%26msbpn_PInfo%3d3-%257c0%257c1652381%257c0%257c3250%257c0%257c0%257c0%257c0%257c0%257c0%257c%26msady%3d1920%26msady_x%3d1%26msapn__ftp%3dNew%2bYork%252c%2bUSA%26msapn%3d35%26msapn_PInfo%3d5-%257c0%257c1652393%257c0%257c2%257c3244%257c35%257c0%257c0%257c0%257c0%257c%26msapn_x%3dXO%26msapn__ftp_x%3d1%26dbOnly%3d_F0006F0E%257c_F0006F0E_x%26uidh%3dj66%26pcat%3dIMG_PASSLISTS%26fh%3d0%26h%3d4015972360%26recoff%3d8%2b10%26ml_rpos%3d1&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnRecord#?imageId=NYT715_2750-0261 Here is the 1917 departure from new York http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&gss=angs-c&gsfn=Francis&gsln=McQuaid&msbdy=1885&msbpn__ftp=Ireland&msrpn__ftp=New+York&msady=1920&msady_x=1&msapn__ftp=New+York%2c+USA&msapn=35&msapn_PInfo=5-%7c0%7c1652393%7c0%7c2%7c3244%7c35%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c0%7c&cpxt=1&uidh=j66&msbdp=5&msadp=5&_83004003-n_xcl=f&cp=8&pcat=40&h=29776462&db=BT26&indiv=1&ml_rpos=1

T.T. McQuaid said...

Pat McCusker, Kelsey was looking at a record that was referencing the townland of Greenan in Kilskerry Parish. The Millick was Trilick. Her ancestor leased land in both Lifford and Greenan. Are your McCusker's from Dromore? I have run across many McCuskers in my family tree.
