Individual Details

Roger (Rossy) O'HARA

(Abt 17 Feb 1844 - 24 Feb 1928)

Sponsors at Rossy's baptism were Roger O'Hara and Maria Moran.

Rossy, aged 57, is listed in the 1901 census with his wife, Elizabeth and their 19-year-old son Patrick in the townland of Cloongreaghan in Cootehall. He is listed again in the 1911 census with Elizabeth, Patrick and a 16-year-old niece named Maggie McLoughlin. According to the 1911 census, Rossy and Elizabeth had been married for 43 years and had six children born alive, all six of whom were still alive at the time of the census. This does not tie in with information I received from a family source who told me that Rossy and Elizabeth had seven children (no names were known).

According to Rossy's death record he died at the age of 75. However it appears he was actually 84 years old.
