Peter Joseph Horan

Hi Sharon
Rather a distant one I'm afraid. He is the father in law of my 5th cousin, 3x removed, on my father's side of the family.
You say that he had 9 children. I have only 7, James, Agnes, Herbert, Eileen and Evelyn, all born in Swansea and Laurence and Mervyn born in Devonport. Could you tell me the names of the other 2 please.

Hi Sharon
Thanks for the updated name list. Eileen is on the Free BMD site as Eileen Mary T Horan, born 1895 Dec Swansea Vol 11a Page 933, died 1896 Sept Swansea Vol 11a Page 501 age 0.

Could you clear up something for me? In Free BMD there is an Emma Tumey O'Brien born 1873 Sept Stoke Damerel Vol 5b Page 339, but in all the census entries that I have seen Peter's wife is called Emily J. Can you confirm her name from the marriage certificate that you have. Also could you tell me her father's name and occupation.

I am the Grandson of Peter Horan and Emily O Brien, the son of Gerry Horan their youngest child. Peters parents were based in Grangecon Co Wicklow in the 19th century. Following Army service abroad they located in Drumcondra Dublin. Emily moved to Cork and lived with her daughter Aggie in Riverstown Cork, Peter followed at a later stage, both Peter and Emily are buried in Rathcooney Cemetary in Cork. Three of their children made their lives in Cork, Aggie married Andrew Mylod and had 6 children, Vera married John O Keefee and had 3 children and Gerry married Nora Murphy and had 3 children of whom I am one. If you are looking for specific information please do get in touch.
Are you connected to the family we would be really interested to hear from you.

Sohmoh, ken41 may not get your PM as he has only one post at the moment.  If Ken41 replies a couple more times, eg just acknowledging he's read this post, you will be able to exchange private messages.  It's the Rootschat rule to avoid spam etc.
