Message Board Post:
I am researching my maternal grandparents family, the Coens. In 1985 a distant relative paid to have a search done in Ireland. The specific area was Dungarvan, where my great-great grandfather, Thomas M.? Coen lived.
The study was inconclusive, but mentioned that there were Coens in Galway, and Rothscommon, and that my g.g grandfather was possibly from Galway, b. 1820's.
This Thomas Coen was a constable, he joined the force on Dec. 2nd, 1839, this record gave his birthplace as Co. Mayo.
Thomas married Ellen Rourke, (Rorke, Roarke) on Sept. 30, 1852. Children: Anna Marie b. 1864, Dorthea Jane b. 1866, James, Robert, unknown if there were other children. Robert, Anna, Dorthea immigrated to US-year unknown. James immigrated to Australia.
I would be interested in finding out who Thomas's parents were. I am also interested in finding out about Robert, my great grandfather.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Millicent Sweeney
