Hi
I'm Looking for Horgan's from Kerry, i have no ideas where in Kerry. My gggrandfather and possibly his father James say they come from Kerry on the 1871 Pembrokeshire Wales census.
so i guess i'm looking at any Horgan from Kerry at the moment to narrow my search.
Any help appreciated
MY ggg-grandfather James Horgan Born approx 1794
my gg-grandfather John Horgan Born approx 1840

Hi there. I think that perhaps we can help each other.
My great-grandparents were born and met and married in Kerry.
My great-Grandfather is Andrew Joseph Horgan and he was born in Abbeyfeale 12-11-? 1890-1901. Not sure of the date. I am looking for any siblings cousins uncles ,etc.
My Great-grandmother is Kathleen Horgan. Her maiden name is Brosnan. She was born in Listowel in Kerry.
Let me know if this means anything to you.
caclancy ;D

My greadgrandmother was Julia Horgan daughter of Michael and Mary Horgan.nee Quaid or Quard. Michael was a surveyor. Julia married Patrick Hennigan in Listowel in 1859 and they went to Australia and then onto New Zealand. I have not been able to find any connection in Ireland.

Hi
Really hope you are still looking at this thread!
My grandmother was Kathleen Horgan. She was born in around 1910 - 1911 and I was always led to believe that she was born in Ballylanders. However, having visited Dublin at the weekend the only register of birth for a Kathleen Horgan was in Listowel in County Kerry. Her father is listed on her marriage certificate as John or Joseph Horgan (a farmer) but on her birth certificate it is Patrick Horgan. Of course, it is possible that she wasn't registered at all and I have the wrong person!
She had sisters and she was a nurse in London. Unfortunately she died in 1954. My dad was (as far as I know) her only child. He was born in London but came to Ireland during the war.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, My Grandfather was John Horgan, from the Moybella, Listowel area. Born approx 1835.
I've only recently started looking into my Father's family. This John Horgan had a daughter Ellen, who married James Murphy and had my Father.
I'm still actively looking into this, will help if I can.
I was only searching the names and your post from years ago came up :)

Hi, I only just read your message.. Strangely our Horgans came from Kerry, but at some point in the mid '20's my Grandparents moved to Abbeyfeale in Limerick, it would have been just across the river Feale. My Father was brought up there, came to London in the 1950's, met my Mother, a nurse, and stayed here in London.
Small world. :)

Hi any one that might have ancestry from Kerry ireland or Pembroke Wales with the names James Horgan and son John Horgan who,s wife was Mary Richards and one of there children was Elizabeth who married a Ball thay might be buried in or near St michael's church near Ogmore in Wales thanks from Mel

We lived in Kerry near to a farmer called Tony Horgan, near Milltown, Lissivane west, his wifes name is in the back of the brain but I believe they adopted a girl from Rumania. Obviously being Irish they were members of Lissivane church so the Pastor may be a good starting point Trebla079
