I have seen many people talking about being related to Brogans of Cappaghbaun / Cappybane Mountain Farm, in Clare.

My ( confirmed ) Brogan relatives were living in Cappaghbaun / Cappybane Mountain Farm from the 1830's - 1880's.


* Michael Brogan   1834
Ellen Brogan           1840
&
Their children
------------------------
Bernard Brogan   1885
Ellen Brogan         1877
Stephen Brogan   1874
Margaret Brogan  1879
James Brogan.     1882
Michael Brogan Jnr. ( dob unknown )

* Michael Brogan senior's father was also called Michael Brogan, and he also lived on the farm.

There are Brogan's living on Cappaghbaun / Cappybane Farm in the 1820's:

Stephen Brogan
James Brogan
Michael Brogan Jnr.
Could the above Brogan's be my ancestors??

( I'm already aware that in this Brogan family, James was found guilty of murder and sent to Australia. Bit I don't know the full details )

I would be very grateful if someone could help me confirm whether the Brogan's from the 1820's on Cappybane / Cappaghbaun are also my anceestors.


Regards,


Michael

Welcome to RootsChat 

My ( confirmed ) Brogan relatives were living in Cappaghbaun / Cappybane Mountain Farm from the 1830's - 1880's.

I think you mean Cappaghabaun. Here's Cappaghabaun Mountain townland in Co. Clare, with the peak of Cappaghabaun Mountain East (432m) close by.

The peak of Cappaghabaun Mountain (395m) is also shown.

Yes, thanks for correcting that.

I wrote Cappaghbaun / Cappybane as they are the versions I've always seen on documents while researching, which were obviously misspellings.

Thanks very much KG!!

Do you have any more info?
How are you related to Ellen?

Michael & Ellen are my great, great grandparents.

Since writing the first post here, I discovered that Michael & Ellen had 14 children ( 2 children died in childhood )
That's why there are two Marys and two Johns.


Mary  29 Nov 1858 ( died as a child )
Michael    12 Aug 1860
John 19 March 1862 ( died as a child )
Mary         11 March 1863
John         4 Apr 1865
Martin      22 May 1867
Patrick     20 May 1869
Peter.       2 Aug 1871
Bridget    17 March 1873
Stephen   17 Apr 1874
Ellen        17 May 1877
Margaret 18 Sep 1879
James     21 Jan, 1882
Bernard   19 Oct 1885, never married

I have also discovered the name of Michael's father ( Stephen Brogan ), and Stephen Brogan's 6 children.

Patrick ( married Margaret Madden )
Stephen  ( married Bridget Dillane )
Margaret ( married John Broderick )
Michael ( married Ellen Doyle )
John ( married Judy Minogue )
Bridget  ( married Daniel Flannery )


I have also discovered Michael Brogan's ( the Michael married to Ellen ), potential grandfather ( Michael Brogan ) and his ( possible ) sons.

Stephen ( son of Michael snr?)
And father of James and Michael jnr?

Michael ( father of Stephen? )
Grandfather of James & Michael jnr?

James   ( son of Stephen?)
& grandson of Michael?

Michael Jnr.  ( son of Stephen? & grandson of Michael?

( & another Michael )
Not sure how the third Michael fits into things.

[Michael.Finlay]

I just wanted to correct myself, I made a slight mistake

The following are STEPHEN BROGANS 6 children ( not Michael's, that was a typo )

Patrick ( married Margaret Madden in
Ireland )


Stephen  ( married Bridget Dillane in Ireland in 1853 )


Margaret ( married John Broderick in USA )

Michael ( married Ellen Doyle in Clare, Ireland )

John ( married Judy Minogue in Ireland )

Bridget  ( married Daniel Flannery )
