No. none of those names are a match with mine, but then again something might line up eventually.

Yes, that is correct,  Michael Mochan & Mary O'Donnell (married 6th Oct 1965) were the parents of 7 children that I am aware of - Helen Mochan m, Patrick Gallacher, Patrick Mochan m, Margaret Cardiff, Dennis Mochan m. Annie Harvey, Annie Mochan as you know m. Hugh Hamill, Thomas Mochan died in infancy, Mary Ann Mochan (my granny) m, Michael Joseph (Joe) Cuthbertson, & John Mochan had 2 marriages, 1st to Janet McDonach, (2 sons, James & Michael) and then to Catherine McGlinchey.

So your 3x grandmothers parents were Joseph Hamill (1827-1880)& Euphemia Simpson (1833-1899)- correct?  That's as far back as I have gone with the Hamill's, the info was on Hugh Hamill / Annie Mochan marriage cert.

Hi there, sorry that I took so long to reply, I've been away.  Yes, we are talking about the same family, your grandfather John Mochan was my granny Mary Mochan's younger brother.  I have quite a bit on the Mochans dating back to about 1785.  I have been in touch with John & Catherine's great granddaughter, Mary Catherine Ceaigen, is she from your family?

Are you sure they weren't saying "Wullie"?  That's what my parents would have shortened William to.  Like Deb said - any photos/documents will be more than welcome, and I would love to see a photo of your parents.  You don't need to sent to both of us, Deb will do, we share ;)

Cousin Deb (Deborah Hudon) should jump in to the conversation anytime now, I've let her know  :)
And she is a wealth of knowledge so you will enjoy talking to her too.
