I couldn't ascertain which if either of the two was related to Cabra

There are 4 Pat O'Boyle baptisms around 1840 but only 1 has his address - the last one as Drumcliffe!

Just stumbled upon this. Kate was my grandmother so Nora would be my great aunt

I just stumbled upon this site as well. John O’Boyle, one of Pat and Bridget’s sons, is my great grandfather.
