Regan and Hurley Family (Poplar, London, UK)

I have recently begun to trace my Irish ancestry.  There is much information about my maternal grandmother, Bridget McGloin (1879 - 1929) who comes from Carrowntown, Tobercurry, County Sligo.  I know that her parents were Michael McGloin and Bridget Marren.  My grandmother emigrated to Pawtucket, Rhode Island, USA in 1902 and married Charles Patrick  Regan.  They had six children:  John Joseph (died in infancy), Alice Marie, Mary, Charles Peter and Kathleen.

My maternal grandfather, Charles Patrick Regan, was born in Poplar, London 27 October 1886.  His parents were John Regan and Mary Hurley who were both born in Ireland and were Roman Catholic.  I do not know at what age they went to England.  If family lore is correct, they were from County Cork.

I have researched the UK census data for 1881,1891 and 1901 and know that the family lived in Poplar, Middlesex, London.  The census records indicate that John was born around 1852 and had two brothers, Florance(1860) and Patrick (1874).  I have tried looking up various Irish parish records and have thought that they might possibly be from West Schull
and their parents Florance Regan and Margaret Mahony.  However, I keep coming up with contradictions.

The 1881 UK census has a Johanna Hurley (age 75) residing with the family and lists her relationship to the head of household (John Regan) as mother-in-law.  I know that on my grandfather's death certificate, his mother's maiden name was listed as Hurley. I have tried matching Johanna Hurley and her daughter with a husband and father.  The closest match in terms of names and ages appears to be Charles Hurley. Johanna Sullivan and Charles Hurley had a daughter Mary baptised in Skibbereen 6 May 1855. 

There is no further census information on John and Mary Regan after 1901.  There is data that suggests John Regan died in 1904 and Mary Hurley Regan died in 1905.

If anyone has any information on this family, I would greatly appreciate it.

Kathleen
