Stewart Coghlan Family of County Laois (Queens) or Offaly (Kings)

I am looking for any information on the family of Stewart Coghlan (Coughlan) born in Queen's County, Ireland in 1793, married Mary Mitchell in Ireland and left for Canada around 1827. They were Roman Catholic. The only entry I can find is a Tax Assessment for a Steward Coghlan, 1827, Ballykealy townland, Eglish parish, King's County. They seem to have sent money from Canada to the post office in Ferbane to relatives James and Anne Coghlan. There may also have been a Malachi Coghlan in the family. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi to Irish Rose  . . . 

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . 

Using - Roots - (paid search)  .  . . my first try was for Stewart Coghlan . . 1793  Kings Co. /Queens Co. . . . Nothing . . . ALL Ireland .  . nothing . . . .

then I tried for a MARRIAGE of Stewart and Mary Mitchel . . . c. 1820  . . . +/- 10 yrs. . . . again . . nothing

_______________________________________________________________. 

So next I tried . . JAMES . . . and found one . . in that general geo. area . . ( see below ) + MAP

Again I tried for a Marriage . . . of . . .JAMES + Ann . . c. 1820 . . . +/- 10 yrs. . . . Kings Co. // Queens Co. . . . nothing

Again . . maybe . . . Monies sent to Ferbane . . . was a little help . . for the Brother . . who stayed behind . . 

So . . I seached for a death notice of a JAMES . . . and found . . ( see below ) aged 70 .. FERBANE . . .Shoemaker . . . 

and . . again . . another JAMES ( Ferbane ) . . . aged 60.y.o.  (Below)

Next I searched . . . for the Death of an ANNE Coughlan . . . around those times . . location . . .  nothing much . . . 

but ( below )  . . . I include . . . for poss. geo. location . . 

_________________________________________________________________________

In all my searches . . . I did not find ref. to location...Ballykealy / Eglish

_______________________________________________________________________

Again . . . search for a MALACHY . . . 1798   +/- 10 yrs           . . .Nothing . . . 1808 . . . +/- 10 yrs. . . nothing. . . 

______________________________________________________________________________

TAX Rolls . . . Tithes Applotment . . 1823 - 1837 . . . http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/search/tab/index.jsp

In there you will find lots of Coghlans . . . property tax payers . . . esp. EGLISH

___________________________________________________________________________________

TAX Roll . . . Griffiths Valuations . . . 1847 -  1863       http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/ . . . nothing worthwhile . . . 

_____________________________________________________________________

To add confusion . . there are TWO ...Eglish's . . . one in Offaly and one in Laoise . . . ( MAP's below)

and again . . two . . Ballykealy's . . . Offaly and Laoise . . . and a third one in Tipperary   

______________________________________________________--
