Still looking for the parents of Mary McPhilips (she was born in Cavan about 1859.) Mother was Roseanne mcPhilips nee McKenna, her father was Thomas McPhilips all l know about him is he was a mason/carpenter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried a few Irish sites but didn't come up with anything. Hazel

Thanks for your help. Gina l will try that Hazel

Hi Hazel,

If you ' google ' cavan genealogy ' a number of sites pop up.

They are mainly 'pay to look' sites .

Most would be pre 1864 and taken from church records.

All the best, GinaS

Still lookingn for anything on Roseann (nee McKenna) and Thomas McPhilips, only new information l have is they lived in Cavan when Mary was born around 1860. Thanks Hazel

The McPhilips surname was predominent in the Counties Caven/Monaghan/Fermanagh and to some degree in Louth.
