Individual Details
John HANRAHAN
(Abt 1851 - 20 Feb 1919)
John was known locally as as John Paddy, following the tradition of adding the father's name to the first name to distinguish neighbours with identical names. His father (i.e. Paddy) was probably a brother of Michael Hanrahan who married Margaret's aunt, also named Margaret Cunningham.
Witnesses to the marriage of John and Margaret were Myles Kearney and Kate Hanrahan. After their marriage, Margaret and John lived near the Scraghan River in the Gale Valley, just below Kilbaha. They later moved to Kilbaha.
According to the 1911 census Margaret and John had 12 children born alive, but only eight were alive in 1911 (all the children listed in the 1901 census were alive in 1911).
I was told John and Margaret died within a week of each other in the flu epidemic of 1918. However John died in 1919, the cause of death being "probably heart failure", and Margaret died in 1925 of a cerebral haemorrhage.
