Message Board Post:
Thanks for your message. Since writing, I've been looking through
the 1901 and 1911 Irish Censuses at all the Carleton families in the
civil parishes of Drumkeeran and Magheraculmoney. The present
Ederney Parish of Culmaine, I understand, covers these 2 historical
civil parishes.
As you know, I'm looking for the family of an Anne Carleton who
married James Cassidy in 1876. She was born in about 1855 and died in
1894. Her father was Anthony Carleton, Drumnavaghan who is described
as the 'late Anthony Carleton at Anne's marriage in 1876.
I was interested to see that, in the 1911 Irish Census, a Brigid
Carleton(32),a servant, was living in Ederney at the home of James
Cassidy (Anne's husband) and his son James. I wondered if she was
perhaps a niece. I looked for her in the 1901 Census and found a
Bridget Carleton(24) living with her father William Carleton(65), her
mother Mary Carleton(55)and her brother and sisters, James(26),
Mary(22) and Margaret(14) in Crimlin (Tirmacspird). Have you come
across this family in your research? From online baptism records
that I've seen for Bridget and Mary their mother's name was Mary
Cassidy(!).
These children's names are also mentioned in a book that I have
"Memories of Moneyvriece Primary School" which has a list of the
pupils who attended the school (1869-1950)at the back. There are
altogether 8 Carleton children listed from Crimlin, 5 from Clonee, 2
from Drumacalara, 6 from Oghill and 1 from Drumyerna.
The names from Oghill are very similar to the names of a family in
Crimlin(Tirmacspird)in the 1901 Irish Census eg Maggie, William and
Isabella. They also include '1915 Carleton, John,b. 10.12.1909-
Oughill (USA)' which may be of interest to you. I can give you the
names of the other children and the dates if you want.
In the 1901 Irish Census, I did find 3 unmarried brothers living
together in Drumnavahon(Drumnavaghan) where Anthony Carleton (Anne's
father) was from; Thomas(50), John(56) and James(66). These may well
be Anne's brothers and this Thomas Carleton may be the witness at her
wedding.
If any of this info is of interest or you'd like the list of children
that I mentioned, don't hesitate to contact me. By the way I had
already seen a transcript of your family headstone at Montiagh online
at

Kind regards,
Maura
