Individual Details
Patrick (Pat) O'CONNOR
(Abt 8 Mar 1834 - Aft 2 Apr 1911)
After their marriage, Pat and Nance lived in Kilbaha - they were immediate neighbours of Nance's brother, Bryan.
There are 1901 and 1911 census returns from Kilbaha North for Pat's household. The 1901 returns give the following information:
Patrick (67), head
Thomas (31), son
Mary (28), daughter
James (26), son
Nora (22), daughter
John (19), son
In 1911, Pat is listed along with his son Thomas and daughter, Mary. It is possible that Thomas and Mary never married.
Kevin O'Connor from Kent has provided information on Pat's family: Pat's father's name was Thomas O'Connor and his mother's last name was Brosnan. Besides Pat, Thomas had five other children that we know of: Mary, born in 1827; James (Kevin's great-grandfather), born in 1828 who went to farm in Meenahorna, Duagh; Thomas who farmed at Shronebeirne; John T. who moved to Farranpierce in the parish of Killehenny; and Denis who emigrated to the United States. Kevin has put his family history together in a book 'The Descendants of the O'Connors of Carrigafoyle Stemming from the Datheenachs Line' [publ. 2006]. Besides the O'Connors, other families covered in Kevin's work include the Brosnans of Shronebeirne, the Byrnes of Coolanelig in Duagh, the Keanes of Ballygrennan in Finuge, and many more.
Apparently there was some dispute over the ploughing or non-ploughing of land on Pat and Nance's farm resulting in the farm being given or sold to someone else. The farm was later sold to a Martin Kennelly.
