Patrick Gaffney, b. 1860, Kilronan Parish?

[Tom McFadden]

Can someone with access to the Kilronan Parish registers tell me if there is a record of the baptism of Patrick Gaffney around 1858-1861. The names of his parents were Michael Gaffney and Ellen Gilrain.<p>Thank you.

Yes, Tom, you are in luck. On 18 April 1858, the baptism is recorded (in Latin) of one "Patritium" (son of) "Michail Gaffny et Elianna Kilrane". Sponsors: Patrick & Sara Guihan. (Townland of) Cornagee.<p>Cornagee is close to the west banks of Lough Allen.<p>E-mail me if you would like a scan of the record.

Around 1876 Michael's name was changed to Ellen Gaffney..it was no 8 on ord. map. Around 1903 name changed first to Michael Guiheen and then to Pat Guiheen in 1906; a 1919 entry shows Pat Michael Guiheen.<p>

Patrick Gaffney married into my McPadden family in Edinburgh in 1884. From his parents' names, I figured he could be from Kilronan.<p>Apparently, none of Patrick's siblings stayed to take over the land when Ellen died, unless these Guiheens were related.<p>

However, the Guihans (etc.) were forced to change their (too Irish) names to Wynn before they were allowed to leave. I am descended from the Kilronan Guihans, who became the Wynns of Leith. Even today in Kilronan, the surnames Guihan and Wynn are used interchangeably (even withing close family groups).<br>
