Jim :Rose Bohan married John Colreavy in 1857. Also Patrick Bohan married Anne Colveay (note different spellings) on 1/14/1865. whitnesses were John Bohan & Maria Colreavy. I do not have townlands. Also Maggie Colreavy was a whitness for the marriage of Terence Bohan from Labbyeslin in Gorvagh to Mary Wrynne from Drumresk in Gorvagh area on 4/28/1921. God Bless Jim Bohan

Gubadorris Bohan link
James,
My great-great-grandmother was a Catherine Bohan, married Thomas McManus and, in 1858, bore my great-granny Mary McManus. Mary McManus married in Gortletteragh (the RC parish for Gubadorris) and is recorded in the 1911 census as born in Co Leitrim.
In those days, few people travelled far from where they were born, so I guess a link is very likely. I don't know how much you know about Gubadorris but it wouldn't even rank as a one-horse town in the US. There are fewer than half-a-dozen houses in total, so there is little chance of there being two separate Bohan families.
I can't attach files on the forum, but I would be glad to send you my GED file if you are interested.
Regards,
Ken

For those looking for Colreavy family members, remember that often the name was interchangeable with Grey/Gray. I have no idea why that should be so but certainly in Cloone RC parish there are several examples in the records.
NB: In Aughavas RC parish there are only 3 Colreavy mentions 1843 - 1880. All are female sponsors. Two at Nichol/McCabe baptisms and one at a Duffy/Donoghoe baptism.
