Austin Fadden.. Westport, County Mayo
My name is Bill McFadden and I live in the United States. My Great Grandfather, John Fadden, was born in Westport, County Mayo in 1846. He emigrated to Pennsylvania sometime around 1870. His Father was Austin
Fadden and his Mother was Margaret Gill.Austin and Margaret had at least
3 other children, Ellen, Martin and Bridget (and maybe Michael and Catherine). They lived in a house located at Carraholly, Westport Quay.My family has been in contact with Martin's grandson, Pat Fadian who still lives in Westport. Pat owns a small island called Crevenish just north Westport. The island has an old house on it that at one time was inhabited by Austin and his family. Pat's Father was Patrick (Paddy) who was Martin's son. Martin apparently was the only son to stay in Ireland.The only other information I have about Austin was that he died Sept. 9, 1886.I suspect that his family may come from Achill based on statements from Pat (he said he remembers visiting some McFaddens on Achill Island when he was a kid but doesn't know if they were relatives) but I have no verification or even names to show this.
I'm looking to find any information about Austin, Margaret Gill's family or anything related to the Mayo Fadden's/McFadden's.
Thanks,
