Killane and Mallon from County Longford

I have been doing research on my great grandparents and I have managed to find that Susan Mallon's (born in 1864) parents were James Mallon and Catherine Cunningham. James Killane's (born in 1860) parents were Michael Killane and Bridget Dougherty. Both Susan Mallon and James Killane were born in County Longford and relocated to New York City where they were married in 1883. If anyone has any information that can help me find James Mallon's, Catherine Cunningham's, Michael Killane's orBridget Dougherty's parents I would be so grateful.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I did not find the Mallon/Cunningham marriage on the subscription site Roots Ireland. I did locate the Killane/Dougherty marriage in Longford town. I also located a possible baptismal record for a Bridget Doherty in Longford town in 1832. See records below. No luck with a Michael Killane baptismal record in Longford. There were too many James Mallon and Catherine Cunningham baptismal records to come up with a useful lead.

Roger,

Thanks so much for the information! I was able to locate marriage records for both pairs of my great-great-grandparents through findmypast.com. They are parish marriage records and unfortunately no date of birth is given. I will check into the information you sent on Bridget Dougherty and hopefully confirm she is the "right" Bridget Dougherty.
