What's New (past 60 days)

UPDATE JULY 2020

• A recording of Georgy Hannaway (1928-2012) playing the harmonica can now be found on his page. In his younger days Georgy played piano accordion and on this recording from 1989 he would be aged about 61 years.
• Johnny Bennett of Levelamore married Maggie Boyle; they had 11 children (Maggie was one of the 5 Boyle sisters from Slieve Gullion townland). We have now traced Johnny's birth in England and his Baptism in St Wilfred's, Bishop Auckland, Durham on 17 Jan 1875. 
• Sadie Morgan married Francis McParland (b1909) and her grandmother, Mary Hanlon, was a daughter of Laughlin Hanlon/O'Hanlon from Lathbirget townland. This Hanlon family now appears here. Sadie's mother ("Minnie" Murphy) had a brother John Murphy who married Rose Bennett in 1910. Rose is a daughter of Johnny Bennett.

UPDATE  FEB 2020

• Recent new faces include Charles Hughes, born in Ummeracam in 1902-brother

  of Brian Hughes who married Lizzie, sister of Sarah Byrnes (the subject of

  these family records). Charles left for America in 1930 and married Rose Kirk

  in 1932 in Manhattan NY. Rose was from Tatebane just over the Irish border near

  Dundalk.

The paternal grandparents of Charles are now included, back to the Gollogly

and the Kirley family. The parents of Charles’ mother, Rose Grant, are now

included. Her father James Grant was from Carrigans townland - adjoining

Ummeracam; her mother was Bridget McVarry.

• Francis Hannaway, born 1896, was the son of Hughie Hannaway from Slieve

  Gullion townland. Francis left for America in 1920 and in 1922 married Annie

  McGovern in Lynn, Massachusetts. Annie and her family were from near Belcoo in

  County Fermanagh on what later became the border between Ireland and the United

  Kingdom. Annie’s siblings and grandparents have been added.

•  Finally  a remarkable man John

  Alphonsus McGlade, born in 1882. John’s mother Ann McGinnis was the daughter of

  Bartholomew McGinnis the original farmer in what later became the Hannaway

  house in Levelamore.Ann McGinnis married John McGlade from the field next door (known later

  as Mary McCoy’s then John Crawley’s).

In 1884 Ann (McGlade) now a widow left for America to join her son

Brendan and daughter Bridget McGlade. With her were here 6 remaining children,

including John Alphonsus and they settled in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

“John wanted to become a priest and started college at St. Vincent

Seminary.  This school even today is way

out in the country. John would jump a train, probably to save money, to get to

school.  One day he missed and lost the

lower part of both arms; the year was 1915.”

“The Knights of Columbus, Supreme Council awarded him a full

scholarship at Catholic University, in Washington DC.  He graduated, June 11th, 1919 receiving a

degree of Bachelor of Laws. That year he was admitted to the Washington, PA

County Bar and to the Supreme Court of PA. At some point he retired to private

practice.  To do this he had a remarkable

memory. I have a copy of his memorial service, he died in June, 1962”.

I am grateful to Gwen McGlade (Auel) for these memories of her

great-uncle John. Gwen, from Pittsburgh now retired in Arkansas has generously

shared photos of the McGlade’s from Levelamore in USA. Also of Bartholomew

McGinnis (born 1867) better known as Brother Constantine CFX.

There are now more feature stories relating to both families and where they lived.
