McCloskey - Dungiven (Crabarkey)

Hi My name is Joan Bickerdyke and I saw your posting.I am writing to see if you are related to my great aunt Mary McCloskey.My grandmother (Margaret Rose Heaney Browne) had a sister Mary Heaney who married a Francis McCloskey and they had 3 children I think named Mary, Frances and James.My mom told me that the son James she remembers had twins.My mom remembers them visiting her house in S.Philadelphia when she was a child.My grandmother also had another sister Rose Heaney Keeney.And they had a sister Catherine Heaney and brother John Heaney who we think remained in Ireland.My grandmother was born 12/21/1898 in Dungiven County Derry and her parents were Michael Heaney and Catherine Murphy Heaney.I don;t know the birth dates of Mary Heaney McCloskey or John Heaney or Catherine Heaney but I think the sister Rose Heaney Keeney was born around 1891.I know Rose is buried in my family's plot and she died in 1944. I am assuming that the Sister Mary Heaney McCloskey was the oldest and born prior to 1891.I am also assuming that the brother John Heaney and sister Catherine Heaney were born after 1898 but that's a guess.Does this sound familiar or maybe just a coincendence?
