I'm trying to finding any considine's connected to bohannon/mcgannon from either kilimil or kilmurry mcmahon, my 2x great grandfather born aprox 1811 James bohannon /mcgannon married mary considine in the kilimil area I've tried absolutely everywhere to find out anything more but with the two surnames to deal its not easy my close cousins cant find anything either
Any help will be appreciated thank you
Ethel,
Please see attached - McGannon - Tithe Records - Bohannon / Considine Kilmihil.
No record of a marriage of a James Bohannon/Bohannan found. You have Bohannon and Considine in Ballydineen. Possible?

Thank you ive seen that James bohannon was married to Mary considine who had my great father micheal in ballydineen

Further to previous Post, a Bridget was baptised on November 1865 and a Margaret July 13th 1868.
There is a marriage for a Bridget Bohannan in 1909. A Michael Bohannan with parents James Bohannan and Mary Considine was baptised in Kilmihil on December 15th 1860.

Do you know why some Bohannon's changed their names to McGannon around 1915?

No I don’t know and i wish i did ,it's a constant nightmare this mcgannon/bohannon name being changed in the family as my dads father and grandfather were all mcgannons yet buried under the name bohannon and my great grandfather's father was listed as bohannon but I can't find anything on him like his baptism or marriage from some records it was going on in the 1800s
Hi Ethel, Let's see if we are connected in some way. I'm not sure, but your story about the name changes is similar to mine. Here is a link to my email: https://privnote.com/TtJyuR7p#NZAmGpIYq
