O'Hare and Keenan family

[caroleoh]

Hello,
I am researching my husbands family tree, his GGGrandfather was a Patrick O'Hare from Backaderry, Lietrim
County Down. He married a Bridget Keenan, as far as we know they had 2 sons Michael , born 1831, and Hugh 1836, they were both bapt in Lietrim R.C church. Michael later came over to England and settled here, he married a Ann Mulheron or Mulhearn. Bridget Keenan what little we know of her , had a sister we believe her name to be Maria.
I would be most grateful for any info on these families.

Your reply made re-examine everything I supplied.   Backaderry is in the civil parish of Drumgooland, it lies on the northern part of the most easterly regions The civil parish of Drumgooland lies NE of Clonduff civil parish. Both parishes contain Leitrim townlands
So looking for entries for Drumgooland civilparish in http://www.irishgenealogyhub.com/down/tithe-applotment-books/drumgooland-parish.php#.VQ6Cr0t5kYU, the results are
Keenan, Arthur    Townland: Magheramayo Year: 1829
Keenan, Daniel    Townland: Ballymagenahy Year: 1829
Keenan, Francis    Townland: Ballymagenahy Year: 1829
Keenan, Francis    Townland: Magheramayo Year: 1829
Keenan, James    Townland: Ballymagreehan Year: 1829
Keenan, Wm.       Townland: Magheramayo Year: 1829
O'Hare, Arthur    Townland: Ballymagreehan Year: 1829
O'Hare, Felix       Townland: Magheramayo Year: 1829
O'Hare, Henry    Townland: Magheramayo Year: 1829

O'Hare, Pat.       Townland: Gargory Year: 1829
O'Hare, Patrick    Townland: Ballymagreehan Year: 1829
O'Hare, Rose       Townland: Ballymagenahy Year: 1829
O'Hare, Thos.       Townland: Magheramayo Year: 1829
If you study the whole list for the parish it doesn’t include anything for Backaderry/ Bakeaderry/etc or indeed several other townlands, this might be because the record like Griffiths doesn’t include the poorest or the enumerator didn’t know all the townlands and just recorded his best effort at the place name area, or .... To be listed at all, one would expect the person/tenant/head of household/etc to be adult in the meaning of the law of the times.

 The chapels include the Catholic Church of Immaculate Conception-Upper Drumgooland
in Leitrim townland on the road between Castlewellan and Dromore in the civil parish of
The graveyard has mainly 20th century graves.
PRONI & NLI have baptisms, marriages & burials 1832-1880;UHF has baptisms 1827 -1900 & marriages 1827 -1900; LDS Film # 0926082 has baptisms 26 May 1827- 28 Dec 1800, marriages 9 Aug 1827- 28 Dec 1880, burials 6 May 1828- 2 Nov 1880  These surviving church records may be all you will ever find in earlier records.
PRONI Public Record Office for Northern Ireland see http://www.proni.gov.uk
NLI= National Library of Ireland see http://www.nli.ie
UHF= Ulster Historical Foundation see http://www.ancestryireland.com
LDS = Latterday saints see https://familysearch.org

The chapel has a photo and a detailed history in http://www.lisburn.com/books/dromore-diocese/parish-drumgooland.html

So sorry for confusions in locations, as you can guess I need to use google maps more often where you can find street level photos of the chapel etc
Have run out of time keep going jimG

my last contribution
There are five entries for O’Hare Gravestones at http://www.ancestryireland.com/family-records/gravestone-inscriptions As far as I can find Leitrim RC was not included in Clarke R S J Editor ‘Gravestone series’ published by the Ulster Historical Foundation.

You may be in England in which case eg try London or your local LDS center, in London one finds
