Individual Details

Owen MORAHAN

(Abt 10 Dec 1842 - 3 Feb 1928)

The only baptism record found by the Leitrim Genealogy Centre for an Owen Morahan baptised in Kiltoghert gives a baptism date of 12 December 1842 and parents' names of John Morahan and Mary RUTLEDGE (sponsors were Mathew Gaffney and Ann Jones). The genealogist from the Leitrim Genealogy Centre thinks that 'Rutledge' should actually read 'Bertridge' given the similarity between the names and the fact that there is no evidence of any more baptisms around that time in Kiltoghert where the mother was Mary Rutledge. Nor is there any record of a marriage in Kiltoghert between a John Morahan and a Mary Rutledge whereas a marriage did take place between John or James Morahan (it is unclear on the actual marriage record) and Mary Bertridge on 24 March 1836 in Kiltoghert. Furthermore Owen's date of baptism does not conflict with the baptism dates of John Morahan's and Mary Bertridge's other children, or with their date of marriage.

According to his death record, Owen died of 'old age'.

Note: In some documents, Owen is listed as "Eugene" (these names are interchangeable in Irish families).
