Any help appreciated
MY ggg-grandfather James Horgan Born approx 1794

My greadgrandmother was Julia Horgan daughter of Michael and Mary Horgan.nee Quaid or Quard. Michael was a surveyor. Julia married Patrick Hennigan in Listowel in 1859 and they went to Australia and then onto New Zealand. I have not been able to find any connection in Ireland.

Hi

Really hope you are still looking at this thread!

My grandmother was Kathleen Horgan.  She was born in around 1910 - 1911 and I was always led to believe that she was born in Ballylanders.  However, having visited Dublin at the weekend the only register of birth for a Kathleen Horgan was in Listowel in County Kerry.  Her father is listed on her marriage certificate as John or Joseph Horgan (a farmer) but on her birth certificate it is Patrick Horgan.  Of course, it is possible that she wasn't registered at all and I have the wrong person!

She had sisters and she was a nurse in London.  Unfortunately she died in 1954.  My dad was (as far as I know) her only child.  He was born in London but came to Ireland during the war.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, My Grandfather was John Horgan, from the Moybella, Listowel area. Born approx 1835.
I've only recently started looking into my Father's family. This John Horgan had a daughter Ellen, who married James Murphy and had my Father.
I'm still actively looking into this, will help if I can.
I was only searching the names and your post from years ago came up :)

Hi, I only just read your message.. Strangely our Horgans came from Kerry, but at some point in the mid '20's my Grandparents moved to Abbeyfeale in Limerick, it would have been just across the river Feale. My Father was brought up there, came to London in the 1950's, met my Mother, a nurse, and stayed here in London.
Small world. :)

The Irish Govt website

https://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/  has registers for Kerry/Cork etc

If you are looking e.g. Horgans in Kerry  for 1760 to 1780

then just enter the search criteria on example below...then Search

from the results of search click on Kerry or Cork if you need them

adjust years if one wants..or Surname etc

All for Free..just solve security captcha and use initials to Sign in

One can also click on Kerry folder and parishes appear...handy if one knows Parish

Having done the Search using exact criteria above

I can then get Kerry...then click on Kerry and get where they were, only 2 places but often one can get many Parishes depending on Surname!
