Hi
I am trying to kickstart my family tree research which has hit a dead end in Ireland.
My great-great-great grandfather Patrick Gately was born in Roscommon in 1796 and transported to Australia in 1821 on the second voyage of the ship John Barry. He married Mary Clogher (or Cloghen) in 1837 in Sydney. She was also a native of Roscommon, born in 1815, who worked as a housemaid/nursemaid and was transported on the Roslin Castle in 1836 after being convicted of house robbery. Their son John was born in July 3, 1846 - the same day Patrick received his full pardon.
If anyone knows anything of Patrick's family or of any records in Roscommon that would be of use I'd appreciate their help.
Thanks |

Look at some on my earlier posts on the need to provide details if you want answers.
I assume you live in Australia. All the Australian State Libraries hold copies of the Resource County Roscommon 2007 CD. Part L of the CD lists the distribution of the surname Gately in County Roscommon from 1749 to 1901.

However I found using the search function much easier and rewarding. I put in Mannion (a surname) and then looked at each reference. In the Freeman’s Journal issue dated 7 March 1820, page 3, columns 1 – 3, I found a Roscommon Assizes trial of nine persons which took place on 02 March 1820 with the newspaper story heading titled “The Ribbonmen” . On trial were Matthew Mannion, Patrick Gately, Bryan Hardiman, Thomas Maguire, Thomas Bryan, Michael Costello, John White, Patrick Mullagy and Patrick Rochford. All were found guilty and Matthew Mannion was sentenced capitally and the other eight were sentenced to transportation. The group of eight all arrived at Port Jackson (New South Wales) by July 1820. This trial and these ‘convicts’ will be further explored later this year by Perry McIntyre and myself. So you can see how fruitful it will be to have The Freeman’s Journal newspaper 1763-1924 on line and word searchable at your local library (if they subscribe to the Irish Newspaper Archives) when it finally becomes available. unquote |
