The familysearch site has a record of the letters of administration of the personal estate of Patrick Kane late of Formil, County Londonderry, Farmer, who died 7 March 1890 at Brockaghbuoy, granted at Londonderry to Ellen Kane of Formil the Widow. if you look in PRONI there is an image of the original of the same will but of Richard Kane. This appears to be a mistake because, in it, Richard talks about his wife Mary.In the familysearch photo of the records, Richard is listed directly underneath Patrick. Familysearch have the record of the death of a Patrick in 1890 aged 65 so born around 1825.
Patrick was one of the O'Kane family nicknamed Dunany. a number of us have been researching this family for years!
We know from a family source that Mary O'Kane was one of the siblings. From another family source we know that Catherine was another sister.She is listed in the Irish Old Age Pension records as applying for a pension on 12 Jan 1909 and listing her age as 75. She said that her parents were Daniel and Peggy O’Kane of Formil. She was found listed in the 1841 census as age 8
The Irish Old Age Pension Record also lists Manus O'Kane who claimed to be 74. He also said his parents were Daniel and Peggy O’Kane of Formil. He was 6 in 1841. In the valuation revision books on PRONI Manus is found on lot 12 in Coolcoscreaghan.In the 1860-63 records he is listed as Manus O’Kane ( Pat, Dan )....meaning the lot was Patrick's then Dan's then Manus's. If this is the same Manus then it could be that his grandfather's name was Patrick.
Another sibling James, was unmarried and lived in Formil with his nephew Dan the King...
