I think that your James may have been a brother or cousin of my wife's Gt Gt Grandfather William Kilgannon who farmed in Ballyglass in 1857. William's father was a William snr who was farming Ballyglass in the 1830's with, possibly brothers or brothers/father, George, James and Thady Kilgannon. You can see their names in the Tithe Applotments of 1833. My wife's mother and uncle still own the land that the family have farmed for at least 200 years, although they don't farm it themselves. Hope this helps

Many thanks to Dublin1850, hallmark,mervyn jones.

So very sorry for not replying before this.

 The Kilgallon/Kilgannon's that I'm seeking are a John Kilgannon/Kilgallon who was the father of Michael Kilgallon [ born in Sligo abt 1819 ] but I can't find more on John [ the father ] he married Catherine Nealis not sure if John and Catherine was from Mayo or Sligo. It would be great if something of them could be found.

It would be great if people with Kilgallon/Kilgannon DNA did a test
