Subject: Carden, Blackwell, Ardnaree, Summerhill, Carramore
Just another shot in the dark. My Carden Blackwell ancestors came to NY in 1850 and 1849
via Liverpool. The Blackwell children were baptized in the 1830s in St. Michaels Church
Ardnaree [Ballina] and lived in the townland of Carramore SW of Ballina. e.g. William and
Ann Blackwell and 10 children; Ann, James, Mary, Wm. etc. Father was a laborer/ploughman.
The dau. Mary was born in/at the Demesne of Summerhill N of Killala.The aformentioned dau.
Ann married James Carden of Ballina or nearby Co. Sligo.
They mostly wound up in eastern PA and Mountaindale NY.
Also searching for any reference to the name Terence Carden b. Ire 1845 or 48 and wound up
in Scranton, PA where first child was born in 1869-Mary. He along the way married Mary
Gerrity County Mayo is our best guess. Need to know where he came from.
There must have been a gazillion people who left the Ballina area during famine times so
searching is like looking in a haystack for a needle.
Any info. or reference to the above would be greatly appreciated.
