I have discovered recently that my ancestors actually came from Sligo town. They were members of the McCormick and Boland families. Michael Boland was born in or around 1815 and some of his descendants emigrated to Co Durham. His daughter Mary married Michael McCormick and they were living in Co Durham with their family from the mid 1800s onward. They were all coal miners and there seems to have been a big community from Sligo all living and working in the same area north of Durham city. Michael and Mary's son John was my great grandfather. I wonder if any residents of Sligo now are connected to either of their family lines - I would love to discover more!
