Coogan/Cooghan Family Castleblaney
« on: Thursday 21 May 09 12:36 UTC (UK) »
Is there anyone over in Co Monaghan (or local to the archives in Dublin) who would be able to check the following query for me?

My Gtx4 Grandmother was born between 1794 & 1800 at Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan, Ireland. Unfortunately her age fluctuates wildly on the census but her death certificate gives an age at death as 75 in 1869 - giving an approx. birth year of 1794.

Her name was Catherine COGHAN (also seen spelled as COOGHAN, COOGAN & COGAN - she also used COOK as a surname!!).

She may also have had a brother called Patrick COOGAN who was born in Castleblaney c1798 - possibly Mucknoe. He died in New York, USA c1848.

I believe there are several transcriptions of the local graveyard/memorials & I wondered if there was any mention contained in these transcripts of a COOGAN (or variations therof) that may help me trace her parents or any other siblings/relatives?

FYI - from what we can gather, Catherine Coogan must have moved to England c1820 (London/Greenwich or Southampton/Portsmouth area) but I suspect she may have had other siblings that also moved to Scotland (Glasgow) or emigrated to the USA, Canada & possibly Australasia.

Any suggestions as to how I may be able to research back further would also be welcomed.  Embarrassed

If anyone can help with the above query, it would be very much appreciated.  Smiley
