Individual Details

Roger O'HARA

(Abt 1839 - 31 May 1911)

According to his marriage certificate, Roger's residence prior to his marriage was Oxhill (there is an Oxhill in the parish of Knockvicar in Boyle, Co. Roscommon).

There is a census return for the household of a Roger O'Hara (aged 54) of Knockaduff, Ardcarn (Cootehall) with a wife named Catherine (50), and children, Mary (27), Patrick (20), Kate (22), Michael (18), and a grand-daughter, Mary Ellen Flanagan (4). Because our Roger's father farmed in Knockaduff, there is a possibility that the Roger in the census could be our Roger, above. However, with the exception of Patrick, there is no match between the children's names listed on the census return and the list provided by the family (see below). Furthermore, the Patrick from the census was born about 1880 whereas Patrick, son of Roger above, was born in 1872. The same family is listed in the 1911 census (Roger, Catherine and children Patrick, Catherine and Michael) with the additional information that Roger and Catherine had been married for 41 years (which ties in perfectly with our Roger's date of marriage) and had eight children born alive, all of whom were still alive at the time of the census).
