Sorry, I do not have anything concrete, but I would like to say that I know my Hegarty's from that area are related to O'Kane - just not sure exactly how.
George Hegarty and Rose Mullan, from Agivey / Aghadowey / Mullaghmore (Glebe), south of Colleraine and in Co Derry, had Henry, Jane and John Hegarty.Henry left for Ottawa, Canada in 1867 and was followed later by his parents and younger siblings.Henry's son was back for a visit in 1918 and was drowned in the sinking of R.M.S Leinster off Dublin.Subsequent telegraph correspondance and a letter from the Dublin Police refer to a cousin O'Kane in Dublin.
