Hi,
I am researching the Currans that occupied an area of land in Kilcullen, Kildare. Also known as Kilgowan.
Joseph Curran (1813-1892), born in Kilgowan. married Anna Sheridan(1829?33 - 1919) who was much younger than him. Together they had 12 Children.
Elizabeth 1861-1931- emigrated to the US and married a McKinley
Mary -1861 may have been a twin to the above perhaps my year is off
Margaret - no information
Bridget - 1862 - Married James Coffey, with him migrated to West Lothian for his work as a shale miner. Returned to Ireland and settled on Dublin's south side.
Anne 1868 - no information however she was single at the time of her father Joseph's death in 1892 as she was the informant on his death record
Jane - 1871 - no information
Alicia - 1874 - may have died young
Patrick - 1865-1941 - eldest son, stayed on the land, married and lived with his mother Anne on the land while other sibs migrated elsewhere
James MY GREAT GRANDFATHER (1866-1925) migrated to Glencannon in Wicklow, married my great grandmother Mary Murphy, migrated with sister Bridget and brother in law James to West Lothian for work as a shale miner and returned to Dublin before 1900. James was also a coal porter. Died in 1925 in Dublin.

Christopher "Christy" (1877- ) - migrated to Dublin and became a police constable
Thomas (1880-1964) - migrated to Dublin and worked at Guinness.
