Looking for any additional info or any other descendants in Ireland or elsewhere of this Roman Catholic family - Patrick Kane and Elizabeth kane.

Here is what I have:
Margaret Jane Kane baptised 21/04/1842   Father Patrick Kane   Mother Elizabeth Kelly
Sponsors John Kane and Rose Kelly (I believe Margaret’s maternal aunt and paternal uncle).
Rev G Dempsey   0 2 0

Rose Kane baptized 10/09/1843     Father Patrick Kane     Mother Elizabeth Kelly
Sponsors Daniel Kane and Rose Kelly
Rev G Dempsey 0 2 0

I also have a marriage record of a
Patrick KEANE and Elizabeth Kelly married on 02/05/1841 by Rev G Dempsey 1 0 0
Witnesses Loughey McCurdy and Mary McCurdy
Parish District Moyle

But not 100% sure this is correct due to the Keane / Kane discrepancy.

The Kane family migrated to Philadelphia before 1850.
Margaret Kane is my Great Grandmother.
Would love to correspond with other descendants or have any info beyond this.

IrelandXO is a wonderful website and outreach effort.

Thanks

Ed

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    In relation to the Keane/Kane variation I wouldn't worry too much about the different spelling; the priest filled in the details as many people couldn't read and write.

    One possible avenue open to to use the names of the sponsors and witnesses to see if you could find out more (rootsireland.ie or familysearch.org) about the main family, especially as you believe that John Kane and Rose Kelly were Margaret?s maternal aunt and paternal uncle.

    Best wishes
