I'm also looking for info on Bridget Haran. Her birth date is around 1900. She was born Bridget Loftus as far as I can tell. She married Michael/Mich Haran. I know of 5 children. Looks like they were all born in Behy, Kilmoremoy Parish, Ballina, Mayo, Ireland

Anthony (my 4th great grandfather - Born 1824 or 1826) He was one of the first pioneers to settle in Washington state at that time Washington Territory.

Jane (Born 1827) no idea if she was married or not

Ann (Born 1830) no idea if she was married or not

Elen (Born 1831) no idea if she was married or not

Seelia (Born 1834) no idea if she was married or not

I'm assuming Michael Haran must have died around 1834 but I can't find a death record.

It looks like she married Michael Gaugan in 1835.

I show they had at least 2 children.

Bridget Gaughan Born 1841

Patrick Gaughan Born 1857 (I highly doubt Patrick is Bridget's son due to her age)

I also show Bridget being married to Michel Loftus (Born 1796) with at least 1 child.

Margaret Loftus (Born 1846)

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to find out about Michael Haran's family (parents, siblings) and also Bridget's family. Thanks, Austin

Bridget Haran's birthdate was around 1800 not 1900 as I wrote above.

Hello,

I didn't find any Gaughan listed in Lacken parish or Kilcummin parish. Here are a list of Gaughan's in the area on the Tithes:.

And a list of Gaughan's on 

Gaughan    James    Killogunra    Killala    Mayo

Gaughan    James    Rathowen, West    Killala    Mayo

Gaughan    Luke    Glenedaghoughter    Kilfian    Mayo

Gaughan    William    Rathowen, West    Killala    Mayo

Do you know if they are from Lacken or are they from another part of Mayo?

Austin, if you open a new thread on the Kilmoremoy (Mayo) parish on the Harran's, I can address it over there.

Oops, ignore that last email - I was in the wrong county. I obviously need another cuppa ...

I did find this entry in the tithes record.

Name    Jas Goughan
Event Type    Tax Assessment
Townland    Laughtawanagh,Sub Denom of Lower Belleck
Parish    Kilmovemoy
County    Mayo

and these on Griffiths valuation:

Gaughan         Anthony             Castle Road              Kilmoremoy     Mayo
Gaughan         James               Farrannoo                Kilmoremoy     Mayo
Gaughan         Jane                Laghtadawannagh          Kilmoremoy     Mayo
Gaughan         Michael             Lower Piper Hill         Kilmoremoy     Mayo
Gaughan         Richard             Ball- Alley- Lane        Kilmoremoy     Mayo
Gaughan         Richard             Brook Street             Kilmoremoy     Mayo
Gaughan         William             Arran Street             Kilmoremoy     Mayo

Bellick and Farrannoo are neighboring so the James on the tithes and on Griffiths valuation could be the same.  Michael would have been living in Ballina proper.

I'll look a more later today.

John

Thanks for this help!

One of the many Michael GAUGHAN's b Co Mayo or Sligo married Catherine McGARRY and died in PA, USA.  They had son Frank b Pittsburgh, Allegheny PA, who died 1880, age 44, following an train accident. Could MCGARRY be the MCGEE/MCGAHY you are looking for?  Also, remember border between Mayo & Sligo was moved, leading to some confusion about county of birth within families, so always check both.  The border originally ran right down the middle of Ballina.

Even if this is a different Michael, it may be indicative of additional GAUGHAN-MCGARRY marriages. MCGARRY may also be GERAGHTY.

There were marriages of GAUGHANs in or from Kilmoremoy and Backs/Knockmore to QUINN, LYONS, GREEHAN/GREHAN, MEER/MEARS, MELODY, CONLON, TIMLIN, MCHALE, HUGHES. Another group emigrated to Lancashire, England.

Hi. Do you know if you have relation called Catherine Gaughan born abt 1838 in Clooslaun, Mayo/ Sligo

She married Patrick Willis and they lived in Mullans Mayo.
