Hi Searchers
I am looking for help with Roady (Roger) Ahearn? b 19 Aug 1894 Glenough, Tipperary. Father Patrick and mother Julia (maybe Ahearne). Any help on any of these would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
David

Hi Dave
Sorry we haven't been able to help you so far on this one.
Have you made any progress, or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes

Hi Ticker
No luck so far!
Roady's mother Julia signed her marriage certificate as Ahearne - could be her new name or maybe her maiden name.
The spelling of Ahern, Ahearn, Ahearne changes constantly.
Thanks for your interest

Hi David,
I have a summer house in Glenough and the Ahearne family are my neighbours. They have lived here for centuries and are directly connected to your query. The name Roady still exists in the family, and in fact he has just had his first child born.
Let me know how I can help?
Cheers,
Don

Hi Don
The main thing I want to know is if your neighbours are related to my Ahearnes and, if so, are they willing to share some family history.
Not much really!
Thank you for your help

Hi David,
I assume they are, as I think there has only ever been one ahearn family in Glenough. I hope to be down in Glenough at the weekend, so will talk to them then and revert next week.
Cheers,
Don

Hi David,
Sorry but I have been away in France and only back. I did get down to Glenough, and yes, they are all the same family.
They are neither young or computer literate, and not really interested in pursuing any overseas ties. I think they may have had countless 'cousins' from Australia, calling on them over the years, and decided to opt out of the whole genealogical thing.
Sorry that the news could not be more positive.
