Coghlan and Bergin - Kings County Ireland
Hi! My 3x great grandfather was Michael Coghlan (or variant spelling). Any records I have located for him suggest Kilcolgan More or Kilcolgan Beg, Kings County.
I have located a probate record for a Michael Coghlan in 1888, granted to Margaret Bergin. I am trying to establish if he is my Michael or not. I have traced some of Margaret's family tree.
Margaret Coghlan married Dan Bergin in 1867. Dan Bergin gave Coolishill as his place of residence with a father Michael Bergin.
Margaret Coghlan was the daughter of Michael Coghlan, farmer - her residence was given as Ballyroe.
So far I have found five children born to Margaret and Dan - Margaret born 1868; Mary born 1869; Bridget born 1874; Catherine born 1876; Michael born in 1882.
I think Margaret Bergin nee Coghlan died in 1899 - widowed still residing at Ballyroe.
I think Dan Bergin may have died 1891 - possibly at Money.
Margaret Bergin married Jeremiah Cunningham in 1894 - both gave their residence as 'Ballyroe".
Mary Bergin married Michael Troy in 1896 - Michael gave his residence as County Glass; Mary gave her residence as Ballyroe.
Can anyone tell me where the farm 'Ballyroe" was located in Kings County please?
I have also looked for these people on Ancestry and found nothing to help me. Any guidance would be appreciated. Kind regards, Kate
