Individual Details

John (Jack Bill) O'CONNOR

(25 May 1876 - 8 Nov 1959)

The sponsors at Jack's baptism were (what appears to be) William Hanrahan and Johanna Hanrahan. Jack was known as Jack Bill because his father's name was Bill (William). This followed a local naming custom by which people (females included) often had their father's name added to their first names in order to distinguish them from others of the same name in the area.

Jack Bill ran the O'Connor family farm in Kilbaha.
