I was looking for any information I can find on Thomas Horan and Ellen Golden (g-g grandparents) who left Ballyhaunis ca. 1850 for US. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The RC parish for Balllyhaunis is Annagh. Unfortunately, records for that parish start in November 1851 which is likely after your family left Ireland. I checked Roots Ireland for a marriage record or baptismal records but no records came up for the couple. Any other family clues?
You may also want to consider autosomal DNA testing.
