My ancestor was Thomas LARKIN born about 1802 in County Monaghan. I suspect that he was from the Townland of Drumboat, Inishkeen, Co Monaghan. I also suspect that his mother's maiden name was HENRY. He married about 1838 or so to Ellen McGOUGH also born County Monaghan. Their first child was born in Ireland about 1839. This family emigrated to the state of Rhode Island in USA in 1841. They arrived port of NY on 26 May 1841 from Liverpool, England on ship "Gondola". They had an additional 6 children born in Rhode Island. Thomas Larkin was a teamster by occupation and maintained horses on public land. His first son born 1844 my great grandfather, became active in freedom for Irish Catholics back in Ireland. His name was James Wilson Larkin and he was elected to public office in the city of Pawtucket. He was a Major in RI state militia and became an honorary Colonel of his regiment and led the 1890 military parade in Pawtucket, listed in the pamphlet of the Centennial celebration of Samuel Slater Cotton Mill. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus. When a young man, Col. Larkin was prominent in the Fenian movement in this state, and was the treasurer of the local committee.

William joseph larkin from Waterford

I am trying to trace the Larkin family I have William Joseph Larkin born 11 Nov 1903 in Waterford, his parents were Thomas Joseph Larkin and Ann Coughlin. Thomas is stated on the 1939 census in Bristol as being born on 22 Jun 1872 but can find no verification of this, he dies in Bristol, England on 23 Mar 1961 but does not state his birth date Thomas was a Grocer and on his marriage certificate it states that his father is John Larkin a Carpenter I can find no birth or death for him , but was told he may have come from Tipperary, I found a marriage in 1869 of a John Larkin to a Johanna Connelly 1869 in Kilkenny but don't know if this is the right couple, I know I need some help thanks Jenny
