Hello Dorothy, Re. the 1833 Tithe Applotment Book for Clogherney Parish, https://www.cotyroneireland.com/tithe/t-a-clonfeacle.html you will find entries for Crossy McQuade and McWade. At that time, phonetic spelling was entirely acceptable and there may be further variations in the chapel registers. There are several Cross families recorded offering a possible further avenue for research.
Hope this helps and wishing much success, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 5 June 2019 2:21 PM To: 'CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List'<mailto:[email protected]> Cc: 'Ron McCoy'<mailto:[email protected]>; [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [CoTyroneMailingList] McQuaid/McQuaide Thank you Len, and Ron. I’m sure they’ll all be related, but HOW is my problem (and that of most genealogists!) I have the baptism of Michael McQuade on 21 January 1787, sponsors Michael ? and Catherine Kelly. But is this the Michael who married Isabella Crossy on 14 February 1820 at Clonfeacle. ‘My’ Michael and Elizth/Isabella Crossy, of Clontyclae, were the parents of Mary Ann baptised 22 August 1824, and of Sarah bapt 1821, and Michael bapt 1826. My information is from the Parish registers (via FindmyPast), and, as Len says, not easy to read. Mary Ann married John Clark in Monifieth, Angus, Scotland on 7 January 1844. There are McQuades in various Censuses in Angus but, again, I can’t find the connection. Mary Ann was baptised a Roman Catholic but married into a staunchly Protestant family. On her Death certificate in 1894, her son stated that Mary Ann’s father was John McLean, Crofter, deceased, and her mother Mary McLean, maiden surname McLean. So did he change the name to something more acceptable? Did Mary Ann never talk about her background? Thank you both for taking the time to respond to my email. Len, I don’t remember the Clonfeacle tithe applotment books – have I missed them? As you said, maybe some ancestors just don’t want to be fund… Dorothy
