My great-grandmother, Hannah J. Coyne's family is from Gannoughs. Her parents were Michael Coyne (1847-1901) and Anne Conroy (1849-1917).
Michael Coyne left to find work in Scotland, and Anne joined him there. The couple was married in 1871 in Bonhill, Dunbartonshire, Scotland. Then in 1872, they returned to Ireland and had Mary Anne and Ellen in Gannoughs. In 1877, they returned to Scotland, where Hannah was born. Then, Martin was born 2 years later, back in Gannoughs. Next, Michael found work in Hebburn, in County Durham, as a shipyard labourer, where Anne joined him again with the children. They were all together in the 1881 census in Hebburn, Jarrow, England. That same year, Martin was born in Dumbarton, Scotland.
It seems that Michael died in 1901 in England. Anne returned to Ireland with her sons, Martin and Michael, and they appear together in the 1901 census in Emlagh, where her family is from. Her sons both worked as fishermen. In the 1911 census, Anne is alone in Emlagh as Martin left for Connecticut in late 1901, and Michael died in a storm in 1906. Mary Anne and Ellen emigrated to the US in the 1890's. Unfortunately, both of them died at age 22 in Pennsylvania.
Hannah emigrated to New York in 1896. She may have worked as a servant in Pittsburgh until she met her husband.
She married John Patrick Doyle on 30 November 1899, in Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, United States. They were the parents of at least 8 sons and 3 daughters.
