Hiya Kym,

Patrick was fifty three when he married Margaret. Query number 89891 dated 24th June which was posted on the CousinConnect.com site Bergen : Butler : Costigan : Downey : Ring states he married Eliza Costigan and had two daughters prior to his marriage to Margaret Ring.

Hi!

Okay so I am curious if I can fit my Downey line in!

I descend from a Patrick Downey born 1784 in Ballyragget, Kilkenny Ireland.  Patrick left Ireland in 1806 and settled in Newfoundland, Canada.  I have all his descendents from there...but we've never been able to determine who his parents were.  Patrick married an Anastasia O'Hearn (from County Kerry) in 1810 in St. John's Roman Catholic Basilica.

I saw the post about John Downey from Ballyragget and him being born in 1780 and wondered if John and Patrick could be brothers?  Patrick and Anastasia had 9 children:  Bridget, James, Catherine, Anne, Mary, Elizabeth, Anastasia, Michael and Thomas.  Our family hypothesizes that Patrick's dad's name was James (only because of the strong naming tradition in Irish families...which becomes more evident in further generations)....but that could be off base too. 

Anyways, just some theories but would love to touch base with others researching the Ballyragget Downeys.

Patrick Downey born 1784 in Ballyragget, Kilkenny Ireland.
Sarah,
I am from the Downey clan in Codroy Valley, Newfoundland. I have all the same info on Patrick as you have except I have never read a reference to Patrick from Ballyragget. What is the source of the Ballyragget reference?
