my great great great grandparents were francis hughes and hanna mcmahon both of cloghfin.
they had 8 children, one of which bridget born 1851 is my great great grandmother.
i think the hughes name dissappears from the reords in cloghfin after 1911 as michael their only son didnt marry.
i can trace francis to griffths and think his father was john, in the tithes.
Hello,
My great great grandmother (birthdate probably in mid 1850's) was Catherine McMahon. She married Patrick McNamee of Cloghfin and gave birth to 8 children, between 1877 and 1891. Most of them, including my grandfather James, emigrated to the NYC area. The oldest son, Patrick, inherited the farm and has many descendants in the Cloghfin/Sixmilecross area. So your g-g-g-grandmother Bridget may have been a sibling of my g-g-grandmother Catherine. I have a photo (poor quality) of Catherine if you're interested.
FYI, I believe Catherine Mc Mahon was Patrick McNamee's 2nd wife. His first wife, Catherine McElduff, died after giving birth to 2 children before 1877.
Hello Gavster,
I am aware of desendants of a Sarah Jane Cunningham, nee Hughes, Cloughfin still living in Cloughfin and surrounding areas.
Perhaps she is also on your family tree.
