Nicolas Curreen 1790 and associated family (Feeney, OFlahtery)

GalwaySpiddal (Galway)

Hello,

Still in search of the Currans that went to Newfoundland in the laste 1700s or early 1800s. On Familysearch DNA we have a DNA relationship with a Nicolas Curran (Curreen?) married to Margaret O'Flahtery who had a son Patrick between 1841 and 1844. Their son Patrick married a Feeny.Our relative in Newfoundland was also Patrick born about 1837 and Dick's DNA also shows a match with a Feeny line. Im thinking that perhaps Dick descends from a brother of Nicolas? Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. The family tree shows Cragduff, Spiddal as the location. On line I was able to find a baptism record for Patrick that is from Castlebar and Margaret's last name is listed a Duggan with her witnesses listed as Flaherty. Thanks! Tory O'Connell

Hello again!

The baptism you found is in Castlegar parish near Galway city. I agree that the witnesses named Flaherty imply that maybe Margaret had a prior marriage to a Duggan. Ballybrit is in St. Nicholas parish which is in Galway city and not far from Spiddal. I did not see any siblings for Patrick.
