Janey,

Sorry about the delay. I have located two ladies who are distant relations of you. They are living in Cashel town, about four miles from the home of your grandfather before he emigrated. Is your grandfather Thomas who married Ellen Roche in St Mary's Church, Manchester on 18th June 1938? If this is correct then I can get you the names of Thomas' siblings, his uncles and aunts, his granduncles and aunts and his great granduncles and aunts on the Hogan side. Just let me know. I hope to meet the two ladies during the week to see if they have any information which would be beneficial to you. They may not be keen on giving you their address on Irelandxo but if you give your email to me then I will pass on their address to you. If you ever visit Cashel they would be willing to meet you. The ladies' father was Patrick, a younger brother of your great great grandfather John (Jack). Patrick died in 1954, which gives you an indication of the age of these two ladies.

They had no recollection of a Lawrence Hogan.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Paddy, thank you so much for looking into this for us, and yes, my Grandfather married Ellen Roche in 1938 at St Mary's in Manchester.  My Grandad passed away in 1986 and my Grandmother, who was from Dublin, passed away in 1998.  If you could email me janehogan7@yahoo.co.uk with any information, we would be so grateful.  My Grandparents had 10 children in all, but sadly lost 2 daughters as babies, but we have a big family in England and would love to be in touch with our relatives in Cashel if we could.  My Dad, also Thomas, will be back in Ireland in April, and he would love to get in touch with the ladies you have told us about, he'd be thrilled.  Thanks so much for your help, it means so much to us as we are a close family with strong ties to our Irish roots.  Looking forward to hearing from you again.

 

Kind Regards

God Bless
