Hi All,

I've been able to trace to Bartholomew Loughney who married Jane Duffy in 1836. Both were born in about 1810, and were from Kincon.  In Griffith's Valuation, Bartholomew was living in Rooghan, Rathreagh Civil Parish. They had at least two children, Thomas born in 1842 (my great grandfather) who left Ireland for Scranton PA, and Patrick who stayed. Patrick had another son named Patrick who stayed in Rooghan / Rathrea and died in 1974.  

I'd like to connect to other Loughney's from the area and see if we can establish a connection, and would like to also go back further. From Kilfian Parish records, I believe Bartholmew's mother's name was Bridget & his father's name could have been John.  John might have had the following siblings: Owen, Bryan, Mary, Catherine, Bridget, Michael - based on the fact that these all were witnesses at each other's marriages or sponsors of various childen.  I have records, if anyone wants to share.

thanks,

John Loughney
