Seeking Johanna Culhane (Kilhane) married to William James Power circa 1845 Ireland

Johanna Culhane was the daughter of Thomas Kilhane and Margaret Sullivan and born circa 1822 in Limerick according to family oral history. 

Her husband William James Power died in Ireland and Johanna and her son Michael (b. 1847) moved to Canada, possibly in the company of other Culhane relatives (maybe a brother named Daniel). 

She settled in Admaston/Broughan Township, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. 

She married Patrick Carr in 1855.

Curious Mac:

The subscription site Roots Ireland has a January 12 1845 marriage between a William Power and a Joan Culhane. The church was Shanagolden in Co. Limerick. The sponsors were Michael Power and Thomas Connors.

Also found a June 26 1846 baptismal record for a Michael Power in the Ardagh RC church. Mother was shown as Joanna Culhane Witnesses were Michael Power and Margaret Sullivan. Ardagh RC parish is to the south of Shanagolden.  Family was living in Ballyvoghan townland in Rathronan civil parish.

There was a second Ardagh baptismal record for a Daniel Power February 22 1849 father William Power and mother Hannah Culhane    Daniel Culhane (the Daniel in your message?) and Helen Enright were the witnesses

Ardagh does not have death info and civil registration of deaths started in 1864.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Roger, 

It appears as though Johanna likely did travel with Daniel Culhane. When she married Patrick Carr in 1855 (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/61505/images/FS_005106…) in Renfrew Ontario, the witnesses at that wedding were Daniel Culhane and Ellen Enright-likely the same witnesses at her first marriage to William Power.
