Curneen - McGoey

[TonyMcGartland]

My wife great, great grandfather was Michael Curneen b. 1811 in Keelogues, Glenade, Leitrim. His wife was Mary but until now I have had little information on her surname. I came across a record on Roots Ireland suggesting there was a marriage of a Michael Curneen to Mary McGoey from Drummans, Glenade.

I have since found two other marriage records that suggest that McGoey has some connection.
When a Pat McGoey of Drummans married in 1879, Michael Curneens son Peter was one of the witnesses. Also, when Michaels daughter Bridget Curneen married in 1881 one of her witnesses was a Margaret McGoey.

Would you suggest that there may well be a connection - or it just pure speculation on my part?
