I am from the States and know that my great, great grandfather was born near Coleraine (I guess in Macosquin) in the village of Glenhall. Family states that he was born on Christmas day around 1841. The year is figured because he was supposed to be 73 when he died in Oklahoma in 1916. Likewise, he was supposed to have immigrated from Ireland, according to US Census 1910, in 1867. I am trying to find his exact birth date, parents' names (they were from Ireland too), and exact location of birth, and anything else I can learn. Please, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
I am updating this after talking with relatives. The family Bible has his birth date listed as Dec. 25, 1839. He tombstone in 1916 says that he was 73 when he died. He married in the states in Nehmeha, Kansas to Mary J. O'Riley (or O'Reilly) who's parents were born in Ireland. He had a brother named Daniel who was living with James in the 1870 US census. Daniel was 28 that year when James was listed as 26 years old that same year. I do not know if he had a brother John. However, there is a "John O'Kane" who lived in Kansas who had a brother Daniel as well. John actually had his parents listed (unlike Daniel and James). His parents were John O'Kane and Mary Dempsey O'Kane. I am at a brick wall if I do not find James' sibling's names. I need to know if he had a brother named John or if John and Mary O'Kane of Ireland had a son named James.
Please, be patient with me, I am still trying to learn how to comment on RootsChat. Therefore, to be on the safe side, I will tell you a deep gratitude of thanks for any who help by advising me or giving me information. Thank You all.
Thank you:)
