I have to admit I'm leaning in that direction, I was just hoping something more definitive might come up. That might be asking a bit much though given how much of Ireland's records are missing. I have noticed there's another John Comerford in the area, he and a Bridget Byrne have a child baptised in Castlecomer in 1876.
I've looked at the sponsors of the Regan kids to see if there's any clues there, but no Comerfords unfortunately. I note an Ellen Moore was second sponsor for my great-grandmother. A relative of Johanna's perhaps? The three other kids I've found on the NLI all seem to have members of the Brennan family as their sponsors. John by Edward & Kate Brennan, James by Thomas & Mary Brennan, and Jane by Patrick and Ellen Brennan. A lot of Brennans. Could be just friends of the family, though I'm wondering if there's a connection there too. If a Comerford married a Brennan, that person could maybe help tie Anne and John together, or otherwise?
