Leitrim-Roscommon

My grandfather, Denis Bohan, married Bridget Connell in 1905. They lived in Ballinamuck. His address was given as Gubb on the marriage record & the 1911 Census said that he was born in Leitrim. His father was Patrick. I have located a Patrick Bohan , age 71 his wife Marie age 68 & sons Patrick -- 27 & Denis 24 in the 1901 Census. Cloone, Mohill . Aghamore. Does anyone know if this 1901 census family is that of my Denis Bohan or have any more information about him. I have been unable to find out anything about his family & would really appreciate it if someone could help. Thanks Tina
