Ahearne/Maher

TipperaryClogheen (Tipperary)

Looking for information on David Ahearne 1843-1924 and his wife Johanna Maher 1842-1924. They are buried in Ballyporeen cemetery which my wife Judy and I visited in 1998. The last of David and Johanna's children was Kathryn M. Ahearn, who came to U.S. and married Stephen Francis Lynch 1881-1943, my wife Judy's paternal grandfather. Brien O'Callaghan Bethel CT USA, email: brienoc@att.net, cell: 203.788.6993, and at this website.

I'd say are most likely direct hits, Col. Judith & Johanna are often used interchangeably at that time in my records. Thanks so much. Any further info on David's mother let me know. Brien O'C
