Looking for Rogan and Boland families

SligoCastleconor (Sligo)

My great grandmother, Anne Rogan, was baptized at Castleconor on June 23, 1886.  Her parents were Thomas Rogan and Catherine(Boland).  They were married February 27, 1862 in Kilglass parish.  They immigrated to the USA when Anne was a small child.  I will becoming to Ireland for the 1st time in October.  Looking for information on these relatives and anyone who has historical information on these two parishes.

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and the baptism for Anne and her sister Mary were held in Kilglass RC parish. The baptismal record shows Ballymoneen townland in Castleconor civil parish but the civil birth record for Anne shows Carrowcoller townland in Kilglass civil parish. See second record at the link.

I checked Google Maps and the two townlands are about 7 miles apart.

I checked the 1901 census for Carrowcoller and there was one Rogan family. Possibly the head of household was married to a brother of Thomas Rogan,

There was also a Boland family in Carrowcoller http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Sligo/Kilglass/Carrowcoller/1676848/
