Hi Lama horse,
I’ve just returned from my annual pilgrimage to Skibb.
Yes,I’ve read about the Bohane who was found on the road close to Tragumna. It was a th junction of the boreen going to the Killaderry Townland where a variety of Bohane families lived then and live now.
My mother was born there and I can trace us back to 1800 on that site.
There must be a link between all the Bohane families in Killaderry but so far I haven’t worked it out !
My grandfather was Peter Bohane his father Michael and his father before that another Peter.
The next door farm was John Bohane who died about fifteen years back. I met people who told me we were first cousins but I didn’t have time to talk in depth as a lift was waiting for me..
I am currently trying to sort out the link of the Bohanes of Killaderry to the estate of land owned by the Townsends of Castletownsend. The land was taken from a man named Phelan in the Cromwellian settlements. I understand that it is possible that Bohanes lived there back then ! The connection was found in the Landsdown library in London and the original script is in Bowood House which is about two miles from where I now live. That in turn is about a mile from where all my English family are from. It’s linked to research over Catholics andvProtestants back in the 1600s . I believe it’s named Penders List.
