Hello, 

I am searching for information about my Hogan ancestors who may have lived in Monsea in the 1840s. My great-great-great grandfather, William Hogan, was born around 1820 likely somewhere in Tipperary. His parents were John Hogan and Margaret Hyeman. William married Mary Carrley (or possibly Mary Casey) around 1840. They had 4 children who were born in Ireland between 1841 and 1850: John b. 1841, Andrew b. 1842, Mary b. 1846 or 1848, and Ann b. 1850. Sometime between 1850 and 1853 the family left Ireland for the US and settled in Massachusetts where they had 4 more children: Jeremiah b. 1853, William b. Feb. 1856, Michael b. Dec. 1856 (died 1858), and Catherine b. 1859. I found a record in the Catholic Parish Registers that I believe is William's son John's baptism from Apr. 15, 1841. It lists the baptism place as Monsea, Tipperary, Ireland and the Diocese as Killaloe and William and Mary Hogan as the parents. 

I'm looking for any information about the family, especially if William was originally from Monsea or if he moved there from elsewhere. 

If anyone has any information or advice on where I can continue my search I would really appreciate it. 

Thank you! 

Christine Hogan

  • Hello Christine

    I am also researching Hogans in Monsea - My 3 x great grandfather was Jeremiah Hogan who married Ann Whelan in 1846 in Borrisokane.  They lived around Monsea most of their lives.  Lulu has kindly put me in touch with a cousin who I will be meeting in Puckane at the end of June.  If you would like to correspond to see if we are related, please contact me at julie.quigley@tech2u.com.au.  As I am travelling around England at present, response time is slow as I have to find wifi to be able to do any work.  By your dates, I reckon your William could possibly be a brother or cousin to my Jeremiah.  One thing I have found out already is that my Hogans are from Ardcroney originally.  Maybe worth trying for you?

     

    Cheers

    Julie Quigley (nee Hogan)

    Hi Christina,
    Im sorry that I didn't get back to you more quickly-  I have had a look at parish records on rootsireland.ie, and I do not think that your family came from Monsea parish- I have outlined my search below, and found a possible family in south Tipperary-

    Looking at children born to a William Hogan and Mary in a Monsea parish, I came up with 15 matches in Monsea parish on rootsireland.ie.

     

    The following occurs-

    William and Mary, killadangan had 

    Conor in 1835, Honor in 1837 (different to the Honor below), William in 1838, John in 1841, Mary in 1846 ( her mother, Mary 's surname is transcribed as Kennedy), Bridget in 1848, Margaret in 1853, Ellen in 1855

    William Hogan and a Mary Kennedy married in 1845

     

     

    William and Mary, Ballyanny had Honor in 1837, Martin in 1840, Michael in 1843, Patrick in 1848 (  mothers surname transcribed as Hanny), 

    Did not find a marriage record for these,

     

    William Hogan and a Mary Reddan married in 1855 and had the following-

    William  in 1856 ( mother's name Reddin)

    And Thomas in 1858

     

     

    I don't think that your William and Mary matched any of the above so

     

    Then I looked for a William married to a Mary Casey/ Carly -  did not find a match but found a William Hogan married to a Mary Carty in 1836 in Cloughjordan.

    They had the following- catherine in 1836, Bridget in 1838,Ellen in 1840, Mary and Michael in 1840

     

     

    So then I looked for an Andrew Hogan who was born to a William and Mary- and found the following family- William Hogan and Mary Carey in Powerstown, South Tipperary had the following:

     

    Andrew 1841, Margaret 1843, Mary 1843, William 1847, Anastasia 1847.

     

    There is a William Hogan born 1818 to John Hogan and Mary Heffernan in Powerstown

     

    Perhaps the above are your family?

     

     

    i do hope this helps, and again apologies for the delay,

     

    Lulu
