Mac Dermot Of Moylurg by Dermot Mac Dermot



Ordered copy of above about a year ago. It's good
reading and an excellent reference point. I received the
first copy to arrive in San Francisco. All of my McDermott
relatives (150-200 yrs.) lived in Leitrim and Sligo.
May I propose a salute to the deceased author in
honor of his dedicated work

MacDermot of Moylurg

Due to the generosity of the MacDermot family I now have a
copy of this wonderful book. It was here when I returned
home and I have started reading. I haven't yet found the
Charles McDermott, b. 1810, that I am looking for but I
continue to hope that I will. I will enter all the contests
by the MacDermot clan and I am very happy to have won the
last one. Thank you very much. Colleen

In reply to: Margie Smallfield Ref: Tullaghan

Tullaghan - relocated to kingdom of Moylurg

Good to hear Margie, that you've reduced your ancestral search to just 2 places (townlands) in Co. Roscommon, and both options are near the heart of McDermott country - much preferable to the Tullaghan in Co. Leitrim whose pics I put up on my website.

Tullaghan (Kilnamanagh Parish) is shown on a map in MacDermot of Moylurg (page 437, #175). Property there was owned by Terence MacDermot in 1635/41.

The second Tullaghan is about 2 miles southeast of Bellanagare, a place also mentioned in my father's book. You can find it on one of the very useful maps (of Kilcorkey parish?) on the Leitrim-Roscommon page - look down the bottom of the links page on this site

I'll have a look in the phone book myself, but you might do better contacting someone who lives in the area. I'll see what I can do

Tullaghan McDermotts

Hello:
I have just gotten some information that verifies that my GG Grandparents were living in Tullaghan Ireland, County Roscommon. I would like to ask anyone in Ireland who has access to phone directory in Tullaghan to send me the names and addresses of any McDermotts currently living there. I have no idea of how much work this may be but I certainly would appreciate it. If there are too many perhaps you could direct me to a source for this information. Thank you so much.

Am I the only McDermott with family from Westmeath?

My greatgrandfather, Patrick McDermott (b. 2-18-1832), came from the town of Mullingar in Westmeath to the Wilmington Delaware area in the mid1850's. He was the son of Patrick McDermott and Anne Cormac (McCormack). His siblings appear to include: Catherine (b. 1828-died llikely in infancy), Bridget (b. 1830), Catherine (b. 1834), Mary (b. 1837) and John (b. 1839). I do not know if other family members left Ireland, although I have not been able to find marriage records for them there.

My Patrick married Biddy Deegan. They had six children, Anna Catherine, James and Mary (all born in Delaware between 1857-1862). Margaret (b. 1866 in Ohio), Theresa (b. 1868 in Michigan) and Emily (b. 1871 in Illinois).

The family is on the 1880 census in Warsaw, Illinois.

In 1900 they are in Chicago Illinois and remained there until their deaths.

Their son, James, my grandfather, married Anna Mabel Brougham (Broughan,Bracken) from Euclid Ohio.

I would like to find McDermott relatives of my greatgrandfather's siblings.

I am also interested in eventually learning whether Patrick and Bridget met and married here or in Ireland.

I hope this rings bells for some of you McDermott clansfolk out there.

Quebec McDermotts

I have just discovered this site and think it a great forum for exchanging news and geneological research. However I have learned that a clan gathering was planned for August in Quebec and now I'm too late to get in on it.

My husband's ancestors according to a study done by one of his cousins were Michael McDermott b 1797 in (we think) County Mayo, Ire. He married Hanora CAVANAUGH and emigrated with his children in 1840-50 to Cantley, Quebec. His children were Mary b 1827, Catherine b 1831 Julia b 1834, Michael b. 1837 and Patrick b. 1837 (possibly twins, it seems to run in this family). Another Son Martin b. 1841.

I have about 400 descendants of Patrick McDermott who married Margaret GUNN in 1867 and had Michael , Joseph, Ambrose and Paul August. Then he married Pamela McGOEY and had Anna Theresa, Florence Hanna, Lillian Mary, William Patrick, Thomas Francis, Edward, Helena, Gertrude Agnes and Emelie.

Would like to know more about Michael b 1797 and any descendants of their children other than Patrick (but would like to connect with any of his descendants too), Also more about the descendants of Patrick's first wife Margaret GUNN.

Maybe some of these relatives attended the gathering in Quebec or met someone who was related. Sorry I missed it.

Joshua McDermott

My mother writes that she had a cousin, Joshua McDermott.
He was slightly older than she is, so we estimate that his
birth date was somewhere from 1915 to 1924. He lived in
Philadelphia. Mother is descended from Julia Ann McDermott,
b. 1853 to John McDermott and Eliza (DOWNEY). Does anyone
have a Joshua in their tree? Carol

Your search for Miles McDermott--Canada

I too have a Miles or two in my McDermott family. My great grandfather Miles was born in Ohio, but his father William was born in 1839 in Ireland and his mother Mary Ann Doran born in Canada. Three other children were previously born to Wm. and Mary Ann in Canada. That is all I know about the mcDermotts at this time. If you find something that may indicate we are searching the same family let me know.

MCDERMOTT

Hi! I read your message, I am also a decendent of the Mcdermotts of NYC. My original ancestor was Philip
Mcdermott, he came in about 1816. (We think). His wife
was Margaret Miller. If you are related, please respond,
I can't seem to find anything else, I'm not even sure
where they originated. Thanks so much.

Just started research

Greetings to all. I am researching the McDermott name for my husband, John Edward McDermott. He knows his grandfather's name was Bernard Joseph McDermott from Baltimore, MD. That is all he knows as yet. I am going to Baltimore this week to research further. If anyone has info on a Bernard Joseph McDermott of Baltimore please contact me. Thanks!
