Looking for Igoes from Ballina County Mayo

My great grandmother Ellen Igoe was from Ballina Co. Mayo. She was born around 1872-1873 She left Ireland as a young woman and came to New York City where she married Patrick Ambrose Moran ( from County Galway) on November 29, 1899. Ellen had three children Edward, Catherine and Mary. One of her daughters was a nun here in New York City - Sister Ellenita Moran. While living Sister Ellenita went to Co. Mayo and met some of the Igoes. I have no information on that visit as it was a long time ago and she has since passed away. If anyone knows of any Igoes or this story might sound familiar to you I would love to hear from you. We are coming to Ireland next month and would love to visit Ballina to see where she grew up.
