Gibney, McCann & Keegan in Westmeath
This is an update and correction to an earlier message:
From a just-received death certificate, I have discovered that my g-g-g-grandfather was Bryan Gibney who married Mary Keegan. Both were born in Westmeath. To the best of my knowledge, they had three children: Patrick(b. ca. 1837) who married Margaret Keegan (possibly a cousin) at St. Michaels in Castlepollard; Cathrine (b. ca. 1841) who married James McCann at St. Michael's in Castlepollard; and Anna (b. May 5, 1844) who married David Hunter in Chicago. Patrick Gibney& Margaret Keegan had 7 children between 1865 & 1878 (Philip, John, Bernard, Patrick, Bridget, Mary and James who was the only sibling to remain in Ireland). James McCann and Cathrine Gibney had one son in Castlepollard (Patrick Joseph) born March 1860; Anna and her American husband remained childless. Any knowledge of any of these Keegan's or Gibney's or McCann's would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
