I may have just found my Great Great Grandmother Ellen Hogan b 1849. Baptized May 9 1849 .  Her parents were both Hogan  according to their marriage certificate from St Peters Parish Jersey City, New Jersey,and her baptismal record.  Ellen married Thomas O'Keefe b. 1847 on December 4 1870   at St Peters Catholic Jersey City New Jersey USA       

Her parents were Dennis Hogan and Mary Hogan    Together they may have had 10 children in Jersey City New Jersey USA Daniel 1871, Dennis 1873, Mary 1874, Katie 1876, Nellie 1879, (Anna 1881- my Great Grandmother) Rosie 1883, Tessie 1889 and twin boys Thomas and Richard 1885                                                                                                                                              I believe according to US Census that Ellen emigrated in 1862   Thomas in 1867    Does anyone know of this family in Terryglass? Is it possible Thomas family was from area as well                                                                                                              Thank You Danny Sheridan NYC

  • Hi Danny

    Just a brief initial message, I have located a baptism record for Ellen Hogan  9th May 1849 in Glenbower which is near the old village of Kilbarron on a hill with a really great view of Lough Derg and the islands.

    Terryglass Kilbarron are  combined parishes for adminstrative purposes

    Cannot see any Thomas O Keefe born anywhere near, do you happen to have a name of either parents

    Will search further

    Regards

  • Hi Danny

    Daniel  O Keeffe and Catherine Condone parents of Thomas appear to be from Powerstown parish with is just outside Clonmel Co Tipperary which is approximately 60 miles away from Glenbower, today is could take an hour and a half to drive there so unlikely Thomas and Ellen would have known each other before emigrating 

    This may be straying off the subject but in searching came across a story of two Condon sisters  from Powerstown surviving the sinking of the Titanic and going back there to find their ancestors years several years later 

    Regards 

    Bill
