I am seeking info re family of
Cuskerns who went from Derry, likely Maghera, to North
East England, Walker, Wallsend, Gateshead circa 1860's,
is there anything in your research which can point me to
their origins in Ireland please? Family links to them
include convery somehow, not sure how and there was a
Melon/Mellon family. The name is very rare, some
spelling of Cuskin, or cuskeran.
Yours sincerely
nmckellar

Hi
William
Congrats on your great site. I have a notion to do one of my
own sometime. I am Mary Convery and here in
Paisley
in
Scotland
we have quite a few Converys'. My family seem to be one of
the largest in this area i believe and as the 7th of 10
children, most of whom have 3 children each the family
continues to flourish. Countless cousins are around this
area also.
It would seem that we originate from the area of County Down
in NI .... Portaferry / Downpatrick area. My Father is
Andrew the 2nd youngest of ten and his father James was born
near here in Glasgow to another James Convery who was born
(circa 1844) in Ireland (thats all it says on my his
marriage certificates, Ireland, no county or date) so he is
proving difficult to find.
My father was told that his grandfather had gone from
Ireland to USA when aged about 12yrs old (c1856) with the
rest of the family ....and then somehow came and settled in
Glasgow (c1864) here in Scotland. He married three times (
Maggie Bulloch. Mgt Cameron,and Maryann McCafferty or O'Neil
who all sadly died quite young) before going back to the
land of his birth to die. He died in Co Down but we are
unsure of where he is buried. Our family names tend to be
James, Joseph, Daniel, john, Michael, Agnes, Theresa, Mary,
Anne, Catherine...to name a few. My fathers parents were
James
Convery
and Mary
Donaghy.
I intend to pop over to N Ireland to search the archives to
see what i can find and I would be grateful for any info
floating about, or advice you or anyone can give me. thank
you.
PS Many of our ancestors went to US in the 1800,s i wonder
if we are related also William.

Hello my name is
Marc Lavey. I live in the United States (Buffalo, New York) and have
come across your web page. I just wanted to take a moment and say that
you have done a wonderful job in presenting you page. The information
is wonderful and I have enjoyed your articles. I am not sure if my
family is any decent of the Lavey family that the county is named, yet I
have still found your information very interesting. Here all we really
know is that our family is from Irish decent and any other information
has been lost through the generations. I am not even sure how popular
the Lavey name is in Ireland. It has always been a dream of mine to
come and see your wonderful country. If you have any other pictures you
are willing to share I would greatly like to see them.
Thank you again.
Marc

Dear
William,
Greetings from Melbourne Australia. I'm trying to trace decendents of
Sarah CONVERY. Lavery Parish marriage records have given me
the following information CONVERY Sarah MORAN Michael 1863 &
CONVERY Sarah MORAN Michael 1864 two different dates, two
separate entries. Sarah & Michael have a daughter my Great
Grandmother Mary MORAN, Latterday Saints records give the
following information BIRTH Mary MORAN parents Sarah CONVERY
& Michael MORAN born 22 January 1865 Bellaghy, Londonderry.
Sarah & Michael then turn up in the 1871 British Census
(South Shields, Co Durham) surname spelt MOORAN they list
along with Mary aged 5 another daughter Catherine aged 8 on
this census Sarah is 27 & Michael 31.
I'd
love more information on Sarah, Michael and Catherine & I'd
like to solve the mystery of why two different marriage
dates?, Regards
Christine Smith-Stephens. |

I was
fascinated to find your website when I Googled my
great-great-grandfather, Michael Convery, born in Co. Down (I
don't know where) in about 1801, according to the 1871
census. In 1841 he was an agricultural labourer living in
Handsworth near Birmingham, married to Ann, and he probably died
in Brum in 1875. His children were Bridgett, Mary, Elizabeth,
Ann, Edward and Ellen. Ellen, my g-g-grandmother, married Thomas
Hugh Vigurs and stayed in Brum. I've no idea if Michael was
related to your family, but I'll keep an eye on your site to see
if I can glean any more information!
