Scratch that on Richard Peer. I found a baptism sponsor of one of my Coughlins a Hugh Cunningham married to a Mary Baisley came from Goleen, West Schull. Not sure if there is a relation, but that was very interesting they came from there.

I've managed to do a lot more research and made it to the library to view some of the baptisms.

The baptism for the eldest daughter Ellen Coughlin 1854-bef 1855 had a sponsor Daniel Coughlin! I ended up sorting out two particular Daniel Coughlins. One appears to have arrived in 1867 according to the 1900 census. His wife was a Mary Desmond as I found through baptisms and a death notice. Some people in this family mixed her up with the other Daniel Coughlin's wife Mary Mahoney.
I imagine the Daniel Coughlin living by Bridget in 1870 was a sibling of her husband Timothy.

The other was a Captain Daniel Coughlin who passed in 1915. Years ago I noticed an Elizabeth Brown with a father Dennis Coughlin was in the 1855 census very close by my Charles Coughlin.
Her death in 1905 indicated she was survived by Capt Dan Coughlin and Mrs. Ellen Collins. I found Ellen was a spouse of a Jeremiah Collins. They ended up in Little Valley, Cattaraugus County. One of their daughters Johannah was Hannah V Collins in the 1900 census niece of Daniel Coughlin. Daniel is supposed to have arrived in 1849. I also found Ellen was Nellie Collins in the 1900 census. 1850 arrival. Nothing of her later than that yet.

Aggravating that I can't find anything concrete linking Charles to anyone directly. Haha.
