Hi Al,
I've just recently found this web site, and I've browsed thru the 53 hits I got for
Dol*n! I found a few very interesting connections, and hope that somebody can pull
me thru a little further.
I, too, found the St Brigid's (River Road) tombstone inscriptions on Scott's great site, and
feel that the elder Francis Dolan is the dad of Michael and the younger Francis.
Though the age span of the sibs is a bit of a spread, I feel that John is also the
son of Francis, sib to Francis and Michael.
I have accumulated many birth marriage and death registrations/church records,
but never found any clues to their townland in Ireland, and County Cavan has so many!
I'm wondering if anyone here has found that out, and I missed it?
Pieces still missing are:
Funeral record 9/25/1855 for Francis Dolan
Funeral record 12/26/1861 for Ann McGovern Dolan
Funeral record 2/18/1865 for John Dolan
Funeral record 11/5/1854 Jane Dolan
Since all of the above were prior to civil registrations, they might include the
only other possible clues to townland of birth unless someone has already identified it.
I've tried the Drouin films for St John's, Notre Dame and I spot checked St Patrick's.
These people were all born in Ireland.
Also not found, but which COULD help are:
I found John and Ellen in North Gower for 1851. I have traced most of the kids listed
on that census, and knew of a few that came to Chicago. However, I never found some
of the others.There is a record of church baptisms (St John's) for children of
Sarah Dolan and James Doyle; I have not found their marriage record.
Anne Dolan and ILLEGIBLE Ryan; I have not found their marrriage record.
Patrick Dolan and Ellen McKearney; I have not found their marriage record.
Dolan, Patrick death record 12/26/1909, not found. (I have Funeral record)
Dolan, Ellen McCarnen, death 12/7/1909 not found.(I have Funeral record)
The above marriages, if they are the kids of John and Ellen, may lead me to their
death records. In any case, they would show who the parents really are; maybe
Michael or Francis? The death certs may show townland. Can anyone help on this?
Michael, Francis and the elder Francis were not found in 1851. Has anyone found
them that year? 1861? I'm really curious as to when they did immigrate, and what
the real relationship is amongst them.
I have the following records and am quite happy to share:
Baptisms:
Children of Michael Dolan and Ellen McGrath
3/16/1862 Ann,
10/3/1863 Mary Theresa
11/6/1864, Michael

Patrick, 2/10/1881
Mary Jane, 4/25/1875

Joseph, born 2/9/1863
Marriage: 2/8/1904, John F Dolan and Elizabeth O'Grady, Notre Dame Basilica
1/10/2008 I recently found
Marriage 1/28/1862 Francis Dolan/Ann McVeigh, Saint Jacques-Le-Majeur
Marriage 2/27/1900 Joseph Dolan/Ellen Tierney
Marriage 6/20/1892 Mary Jane Dolan/John Dunbar
Any help, even a tiny piece to this big puzzle is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
... Cheryl Kale

also from Cheryl:
Through civil registrations and church records I have cleared up most of the
relationships and questions. I know that the two girls buried in 1952 were daughters
of Patrick and Ellen McCarney / McCarnen, and that Margaret buried in 1874 was
Michael's daughter. However, her baptismal record indicates she was the daughter
of Ellen/Helen McGrath, not Blake. So now we have the question of multiple marriages
for Michael? I haven't yet found any marriage for him. Probate/wills would
clear that up.

Michael Patrick DOLAN and Anne McGOVERN
to Pontiac County, Quebec
I came across your inquiry on the Bytown or Bust site and may or may not have a connection.
I have a DOLAN family that reads as follows:
Father: Michael Patrick DOLAN
Mother: Anne McGOVERN
Children: Cedial ? ?
Charles
Delia
Ellen
Joseph
Michael b. Dec 1849
Ann b. Nov 1863
James b. Sep 1866
Francis Peter b. Feb 1869
Patrick b. Feb 1872
Mary Jane
Do any of these individuals fit your research ? My family tree and the DOLANs therein
were residents of Bristol Township, North Onslow Township and South Onslow Township in
Pontiac County, Quebec. There are many DOLANs buried in St Brigit's Catholic Church
cemetery in North Onslow, Quebec as well as St Mary's Catholic Church cemetery in Quyon,
Quebec.
My Great Grandfather, Michael James ALLEN Sr married a second time to a Catherine DOLAN
(his first wife was a Jane DOHERTY ) and I am unable to find any information on either.
Would appreciate any information you may have.
Thanks,
J. Garrett ALLEN ( Garry )
