Hi. My Owens (Hugh) Kerins family were living in Listrush, near Ballymote, RC parish of Keash and Culfadda since at least the 1850's. I have yet to find out where the original Owen came from before that time. His marriage record in Keash to Winifred Kielty does not list where they came from or any parents.
I have found Owen's children, Mark (moved to England with wife) & Owen (stone cutter can't find afater about 1880), Winifred Quigley who lived in Riverstown, Bridget McDermott?, and Catherine Shiels who remained in Listrush.
In about 1938 when Catherine Kerins Shiels died, my mom recalls that she heard them tell her eldest brother to go down to the Coach (Koash) road to tell granny's family. But, other than that my mom and her siblings know nothing more about those "cousins".
Thanks for reading and perhaps noticing something is familiar.
Kathy
