Kieran/Fegan/Hoey Family - Dundalk/Ardee
« on: Friday 30 November 07 19:45 GMT (UK) »
 :D Would love to hear from anyone related to, or with information concerning the Kieran family of Coole Townland, Ardee, circa 1850-1930 and perhaps later than that (Principally, Matthew Kieran, his wife Ellen (Fey, Fegan, Fagen or Hagen) and family). ::)

Newly acquired information after visiting Ardee and environs:
Matthew Kieran - probably Matthew Kieran born 1831 at Dundalk. parents: Patrick Kieran and Catherine Hoey. Died between 1901 and 1911 Censuses, although a Matt Kieran born at Drogheda 1832 is also a candidate (still awaiting death certificate info which should confirm either or).

Wife: Ellen (Fegan?) died between 1896 and 1901.
Both of above buried at Ballapousta cemetery, near Ardee, with sons: James, Joe and Matthew.

The family nickname was "Gull Kierans", presumably to distiguish them from other Kieran families in the Ardee area.
