My maternal grandmother, Mary Madden, was born in Timicat, County Mayo in about 1883. She emigrated to the United States in 1900, accompanied by her brother, Michael Madden.  Can you tell me in which parish Timicat is located?  Thank you.

  • Robert:

    There is no Timicat ( or something similar) townland in Mayo. There is a Timacat townland in Co. Galway in Kilkerrin civil parish. I looked at the 1901 census for Timacat (ironically spelled Timicat in the census) and there were four Madden families as shown below. Two of the families have a Mary and Michael so maybe your relatives had not left yet.

  • Hello Bstrangetx

    Indeed this place is in Galway:

    I have close relations for you - Margaret Madden was my grand-mother-inlaw! She is a sister of Mary and Michael who left Timicat 

    Her father James was born in 1844
