Member Since: July 2003 Posts: 3 Send Message	Hi folks, I've posted a message before covering some of this message, but thought I'd start anew one to broaden my newfound search. I'm looking for the descendants of a John Kane/O'Kane b: abt. 1831, married to a Mary McWilliams b: abt. 1831. They got married at Feeny RC Church, Banagher, Limavady on the 14th of December 1842. They had at least 1 son called Patrick O'Kane who moved to Glasgow between 1897 and 1901 after wedding to Rose Ann McCloskey at Dungiven RC Church. They married on the 28th February 1878. patrick died between 25th November 1908 and March 29th 1909. He went missing on November 25th 1908, his body was found at John browns Shipyard on the river Clyde on the 29th march 1909. Coroners reports says he drowned. As far as I am aware of, Rose Ann never remarried. Rose Ann's parents were a James McCloskey and Rose Donoghue, from somewhere in ireland. Hope this relates to anyone.
