Sinann - I have accessed much information about the Currans in the Kildare Observer but not this article. Thank you very much for tipping me off on this one :-)

Selkirkshire / Re: galashiels scotland cemetery records

Hi all - I have been to both. I have many relatives buried in Eastlands and some in Old Ladhope. There is an issue with entering Old Ladhope though - the gate is chained. I am not sure why but many of the stones have fallen over. My cousin had to arrange for it to be unlocked which it was. Unfortunately the stone that we were looking for had  fallen over - that of my 3xGreat Grandparents Agnes (Nancy) Flowers and William Bell. Old Ladhope is on somewhat of a hill and outside the burial ground walls the view of the hills is so peaceful and beautiful.

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.
