Lisnadill

Hi,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, Tanderagee is a townland in the parish of Lisnadill. A useful website when it comes to Irish place names is http://www.logainm.ie/Viewer.aspx?text=Tanderagee&streets=yes&listText=&filterParent=100001

You could try looking at church records in the parish for information on the family. Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes.It also shows you where copies of the records are available.  Lisnadill civil parish belongs to the Catholic parish of Ballymacnab.For Ballymacnab parish, follow this link:

Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.

You could also check in Griffith?s Valuation to see if there were any Cummins in the area at the time. This is a property valuation survey carried out in Ireland 1848-1864. You can search this here:

Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

You can search the indexes to these records online at:

Also, have you tried searching the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any Cummins still there at the turn of the century
