There are two closely associated branches of the Maguires of Rossory/Cleneesh that are likely related. In Canada the most documented person is Edward Allen Maguire (1852-1921). The other side of the family are the descendants of Charles Maguire who all left Northern Ireland for Canada. The first hint of the relation is from page...

Thomas Maguire & Immigration details
Recently I was able to track down the departure details for Thomas Maguire’s emmigration from Norhtern Ireland to Canada. It was a pretty important discovery. He left Londonderry aboard the Polynesian in 1884 with his family.
New Documents – Marriage of Thomas & Sarah
Just the other day received a very nice certificate from the GRO in Belfast. It was a copy of the entry for the marriage of Thomas Maguire and Sarah Brownlee.

Maguire Cousins
I tried to do a little extra research the other day – beyond entering data from The Maguire Tree. So I thought I would try to find the “first cousins” that came over with the 5 brothers (William, John, Samuel, Charles and Adam). I’ve concentrated on Cousin Eddie for the time being...
The Maguire Emmigration
Some of the most difficult information to find concerns the early movements of the first Maguire immigrants to Canada. These people would be the Sons of Charles (b. 1803) and Elizabeth Maguire and their children.
