Tipperary / Re: George Haskett of Ballina (1827 - 1882)
« on: Sunday 17 August 14 13:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi David
Thank you so much for your replies regarding the Moloney/Haskett connection. My father, Sean (John)  Hogan has never mentioned anything about his mother Hanna receiving an inheritance from her Margaret Moloney’s (nee Farrell) bachelor brothers. I wonder if he didn’t know about it.  Dad does however recall living at the “cottage” in Cullinagh but he is not clear on how long he lived there. He left Ireland to join the Air Force in 1946.
When I was a child, our family took a trip from Ontario Canada, back to Ireland to visit Hanna….I believe it was in 1962…in the old home movies we have of that trip my sister Kathleen is a toddler and she was born in May 1961. We stayed with Hanna at the cottage in Cullinagh. Dad talks about fishing with “Flan” on that trip.
I am curious about the mystery letter from San Francisco. It was written in 1945, so it couldn’t be from Bridget Haskett(nee Moloney) could it, as she passed away in 1924.   This is a quote from Re: George Haskett of Ballina (1827 - 1882)  “Jennie (Bridget) Haskett died at 3.30am on 8th Feb 1924, aged 48 years. Cause of death was Cerebral Hemorrhage, which appears to have been brought in by 4 years of Chronic Interstitial Nephritis (Inflammation of the kidneys). Her funeral service was held at All Hallows Church and she was buried with her husband in Holy Cross Cemetery, Colma. On her Funeral record, her spouse is listed as Patrick Haskett and her father as Thomas Moloney.”

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Looking for Hogan relatives from Borrisokane County Tipperary

Hi Sinann
Thank you for your reply. Wow....you are quick to get results!  :) Yes, Hanna was from Killaloe, County Clare....nee Hanna Maloney. I have found a record of Hanna and Christopher's marriage in Scarriff in 1922.
I know a fair bit about Hanna's side of the family but very little about Christopher. My father has no recollection of Christopher's parents and siblings being present in his life when he was growing up in Ireland. In fact, he does not even know if his father Christopher had siblings.
It seems Christopher Hogan is not a very common name, so you are probably correct about the census results being "my" Hogans!
Cheers.

Family History Beginners Board / Looking for Hogan relatives from Borrisokane County Tipperary
« on: Thursday 07 August 14 14:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for any information about my father's family from Borrisokane, County Tipperary, Ireland.
My father John (Sean) Patrick Hogan was born in Borrisokane on May 18, 1927. His father was Christopher Hogan (DOB ? 1899) and his mother was Hanna Hogan (nee Maloney) (1888-1967). My father has very little information about his father Christopher...ie parents names or number of siblings.
 Hanna and Christopher immigrated to California in 1923 but returned to Borrisokane in 1924. The ship records of their arrival at Ellis Island New York in 1923 lists their nearest relative in Ireland as Christopher's father, Michael Hogan- cottage Finnoe (or Fimoe) Road, Borrisokane.
The 1911 census of Ireland shows a Michael Hogan and wife Rosie and their 10 children (one being 14 year old Christopher) living at House 2 in Shesheraghmore, Borrisokane, County Tipperary.
This could be my grandfather Christopher....
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi David. You seem to be very well studied in the Haskett family history! I believe we are "related" by marriage.
 This is my family's story: My father is John (Sean) Patrick Hogan, born in Borrisokane on May 18, 1927. His parents were Christopher Hogan and Hanna (nee) Moloney. Hanna was the daughter of Thomas Moloney of Killaloe. She had 2 sisters, Bridget and Mary Anne and one brother, John. According to my father, both of Hanna’s sisters married Hasketts.
Hanna’s passport lists a DOB of 29 Dec 1888.
The 1901 Ireland census shows a 12 year old Hanna Moloney living at house 2 in Thomas Street (Killaloe, Clare) with her father Thomas, aged 50 and brother John aged 14.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Killaloe/Thomas_Street/1084591/

The1911 Ireland Census shows a 20 year old Hanna Maloney (surname spelled Maloney in 1911 census, and Moloney  in the the 1901 Census) living at house 19 in Main Street (Killaloe, Clare) with her father Thomas, aged 66 and her brother John aged 23.
Ireland, Civil Registration Marriages Index, 1845-1958 lists Christopher Hogan and Hanna Moloney in Jul-Aug-Sep 1922 in the Registration district of Scarriff. According to my father, Hanna was given a dowry of 100 guineas from her father.
   
Hanna and Christopher Hogan married and immigrated to the U.S.
They are listed as passengers on the Cedric, a White Star Line vessel, departing Liverpool for New York on February 24, 1923. They arrived at Ellis Island on March 6, 1923. The passenger list of the Cedric lists the nearest relative in the U.K. as Mr Michael Hogan, Fimoe Road, Borrisokane, County Tipperary, Ireland. Their U.S. destination is listed as San Francisco. My Dad’s recollection is that they planned to stay with cousins in San Francisco by the name of Troy, on San Bruno Avenue….but I am not sure if this is accurate information.
Christopher’s age is listed on the passenger list of the Cedric as 24 in 1923, a DOB of 1899. Their last address in the U.K. listed on the passenger records is: Fimoe Road, Borrisokane, County Tipperary.
On June 8, 1924, Christopher and Hanna Hogan and infant Michael Joseph Hogan are listed as passengers arriving in Liverpool from New York on the Baltic. Their names are listed under the heading of “Deportees”. Their proposed address in the U.K. is listed as Limerick, no address.
According to my father, Hanna and Christopher returned to Borrisokane, County Tipperary to live. Subsequently, my uncle, Thomas Flannan Hogan (DOB 1926) and my father, Sean Patrick (DOB 18 May 1927)  were born in Borrisokane. At some point, I don’t know when, Hanna and her three sons boarded a bus and left Borrisokane for Killaloe, the town where Hanna was born. They found a place to live on Carrig’s Lane (Carrick’s Lane) in Killaloe. Hanna found work cleaning and doing laundry. Christopher rejoined the family later. My father recalls it as a difficult time, as money and food were scarce.
My father recalls life improving drastically when “Cousin Flan Haskett” gave Hanna a cottage in Cullina in Ballina, County Tipperary….across the river from Killaloe. I believe “cousin Flan” is George  Haskett, the oldest son of David Haskett (1876-1941) who married Hanna’s older sister Mary Anne Maloney. 
According to my father, Hanna thought the world of Flan!
My father left Ireland in 1946 when he enlisted with the Royal Air Force.
His father, Christopher Hogan, died suddenly while Dad was still in training in England. (1947?)
I am only at the beginning of my research into my family's history. Are you able to confirm that we are indeed related by marriage?
I look forward to your reply.
