Brogan

My GG grandmother was Catherine Brogan, born approx 1834.  Her father was Michael Brogan.  Catherine left for England in 1850 and married a Roger Wilde.  I am looking for any info as to her mother.  I am struggling to find out who she was and where they were from.  My sister thinks it's County Cork.  I would love to know what part of Ireland my ancestors are from and Catherine's mother's name.  Thank you.

Heather,

Please see attached record of a marriage in Youghal, Co. Cork on February 14th 1833 of a Michael Brogan and Cate Hanefan.

Subscription site  www.rootsireland has a record of the baptism of an un-named child on May 15th 1832.

Parents: Michael Brogan and Johanna Douley.  Baptismal Sponsors: Thomas Brien and Honora Lynch.

Mallow Heritage Centre may be able to assist with this entry.

The surname "Brogan" is not common in County Cork.

In the 1861 UK census shown on Ancestry, Catherine and Roger Wilde (Wields) are listed just below the household of Margaret Brogan, a widow, 50; her daughter Mary and her son Owen. Probably Catherine is a daughter of Margaret’s..

Heather,

I attach records of the Marriage of a Roger Wilde - 1836 and the baptism of a Roger Wilde in 1938.

They may assist in deciding if they are likely to connect to the families found by Patricia.
