Hi All
I am looking for information on John COOGAN and Sarah LALOR.
I have been told they married in Raheen, Co Laoise in 1879.
John was born in 1845 in Castletown, his father was James Coogan, his mother Margaret FITZPATRICK.
Sarah was born in 1855 in Raheen, her father either Patrick or Thomas LALOR, her mother either Mary FIZTPATRICK OR Mary DUNNE.
They had the following children - all born in Rosskelton
John 4 Jun 1880
Mary
Joseph 10 Apr 1884
Nannie
Matthew
Sarah
Thmoas
Patrick
Denis 1 Jun 1887
Can anyone give me more information, especially on Sarah Lalor and her parents. Any information is very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Elwyn
Thanks for the links, I had seen the census returns, unfortunately they don't give me Sarah's parents...
I appreciate your message.
Thanks again

The marriage certificate should list Sarah's father's name and occupation as well as her residence (townland) at the time of the marriage.

Hi Aghadowey
Thanks for your comment. I wondered if they had marriage certificates in the 1870's. I did phone the Priest some years ago but unfortunately he wasn't interested in helping.
I will send away for a marriage certificate - I guess to Dublin?
Thanks again

Civil registration of Catholic marriages started in 1864 (from 1845 for other marriages). See Introduction to Irish Records for links on ordering certificates from GRO, Roscommon-

Thanks again

An Ancestry.com tree has Sarah's parents as "Patrick Lalor and Mary Fitxpatrick". The new cheiftain of the Lalor Clan, Margot Coogan, states in yher Christmas message that she is descended from Joseph Coogam whose mother was Sarah Lalor, who was descended from the Lalors of Tenakill. It sounds like the same family.

Hi Peter
I haven't been on this site for some time and have only just seen your message.
Margot happens to be second cousin to my husband and we have been in touch, she was out here in Australia last year but unfortunately we couldn't get down to Melbourne to see her I believe she is coming out again at the end of this year.
Are you aware of the book 'The Lalors of Laois" written by John Cherry? It has just been published and is very informative.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Kind regards
Ros
