The Clerkin and McCabe Family From Ireland to Canada,,,,
Looking for information on ancestors and decedents of
The James Clerkin Family of Townland Cormoy, Parish Aghabog
Barony of Dartry, County Monaghan. We have no history or
name of his spouce or any children other than a son Peter
Clerkin born 1857 in County Monaghan....
Peter Clerkin who was born 1857 worked as a schoolmaster in the County and married Jane McCabe May of 1881.
Jane McCabe is the daughter of Patk (Patrick) McCabe of
Parish Currin, Barony of Dartry, County Monaghan.
Patk McCabe also had a son Joseph McCabe who emigrated to
Toronto,Ontario where he married and had a family.
Peter Clerkin and Jane McCabe married in 1881 at the Roman Catholic Chapel in Aghabog,Peter was ill at the time of his marriage and died July of 1881 of consumption at the age of 24 years.Jane McCabe Clerkin gave birth 4th quarter of 1881 to a son Peter Joseph Clerkin our grandfather.
We believe that both families had relatives, but where and who they are or went wemay never know.If there is any chance that a branch of Clerkin's or McCabe's are connected to your family tree, please drop us a line so we can exchange family history.
Appreciate any help offered.
