John O'kane & Susan Diamond

[celticknot226]

Hi Can you tell me where your GGG grandparents lived to see if we have the same information? Thanks Eileen:)

John Kane died in Drumagarner, near Kilrea, County Derry, in 1866.  If you look further up the chain, Rob seems to have found some more specific place names in Ireland which I didn't have.  I haven't heard back from Rob so I suspect he is not using this forum any more.

Susan Diamond also came from Ireland but she moved to Glasgow with her children and died there in 1889.

Hi I'm still not clear how you fit into this tree. Rob and I have spoken on the computer. I believe he follows the Kane gang on Ancestry.com

I am their G-G-G grandson, descended from their son John, who married Mary Ann Mitchell in Glasgow in 1869.  The other children of John Kane and Susan Diamond that I am aware of are:

- Margaret Kane (married William Mooney in 1865 in Kilrea)
- Isabella Kane (married James Lochery in 1884 in Glasgow)
- Joseph Kane (married Mary Curran in 1882 in Glasgow)
- Patrick Kane (married Martha Nugent in 1878 in Glasgow)

Thanks for the tip about Rob.  I'll have a look on that forum too.

Regards



Dominic

Hi Dominic: My name is Eileen Breen. I am Great Grand daughter of Patrick Kane who moved to USA in 1888. I have a tree also on ancestry look for photos of the Kane's in my tree. Do you have a tree on ancestry? Do you have any photos of John, Margaret or Isabelle? Your welcome to use any pictures we have. It would be easier to communicate via ancestry as John, James, Rob, Cathy, and Annmarie and I all are working on this tree together! Do you have a private email? You can send it to me via ancestry Take care, Eileen:)

Hi cousins,

I received a CD from a cousin recently(a McElroy descended from Drumagarner) and am amazed at what he managed to come up with. I too am descended from John Kane & Susan Diamond, my great grand parents are the Joseph and Mary Curran mentioned below and actually have a photo of Mary.They had a son John, amongst other others, who married Martha McWilliams, on 5 October 1916(a good year) at St Mary's, Drumagarner. Eileen I think I seen elsewhere you were interested in the McWilliams of Drumagarner. These were My grandparents although I only remember my grandfather, who we called Dado. he was in fact Scottish though Martha was Irish from Drumagarner, and by the looks of her wedding photo a very good looking women... it's a Kane thing. They have 5 weans, one being my Dad Henry, or rather Harry.

I am a technophobe but if any of the above interests you, let me know. The Kane's are still going strong over here and hopefully my son Scott will keep the line going but at 19 I hope that doesnt happen too soon.

i am Richard and we live 9 miles outside of Glasgow.

Just remember " a stroked cat is gentle" ! still not sure about that one!

hi cousin! I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you. I haven't done genealogy in a while. My family tree is on ancestry.com under Eileen Breen

Well, it looks like I'm a bit late to the party.  I just found this today and no one has been here in a year.  I am John and Susan's gggranddaughter through their son Patrick.  My grandfather was Frank Kane and he lived in Detroit where he practiced law.  I've exchanged information with and met both Eileen and John McElroy.  I'm happy to share what I know.
