Hello, My great grandparents were Patrick John Horan (1865 born) and wife Anne Forkan (1867 born) Their daughter, my Grandmother, Catherine Christina Horan was born in 1892 in Kilkelly. I understand there is still family there I'd love to connect with for my visit. Thank you, Donna

Donna:
Can you let us know when you are coming to Ireland?
See fifth record at this link for the December 9th 1891 civil birth record for Catherine Horan. Mother was Anne Forkin and father was shown as John Horan. Civil birth record shows Glan (likely Glentavraun) as their townland. The December 13th baptismal record in Kilmovee RC church shows Sinolane (likely Sonvolaun) townland.
They were married earlier that year (see fourth record) Fathers of the bride and groom are shown on the record.

It appears Anne Forkan was baptized February 23 1865 so born a few days earlier. Father Martin Forkan and mother Margaret Forkan.
