A man named John Foran was
living at Tromra in 1817. Another John Foran was living in
Tromora in 1834, on the same piece of property as the John Foran
of 1817. However, he was no longer living on the same property
after 1855. He may have married Bridget Stackpool, and had two
known children that were baptized in the parish of Kilmurry-Ibrickane: 1-Thomas Foran (on Dec.12, 1868, sponsors
John Considine and Meary Egan): 2-Patrick Foran (on March 15,
1873, sponsors John and Nancy Lawson). Keep in mind that our own
James Foran was living in Tromora at least by 1871, and the
family was still there in 1876. I suspect that he was a brother
to the aforementioned John Foran, and that the father of the pair
was the elder John Foran of 1817.
A man by the name of
Patrick Foran, who married Mary King, also had two known children that
were baptized in the parish of Kilmurry-Ibrickane, namely:
1-Michael Foran (on Aug.23, 1862, sponsors Edmond Pierse and
Bridget King): 2-Bridget Foran (on June 26, 1870, sponsors John
and Susan McGenis). This Patrick Foran may well have been a
brother to the above mentioned James and John Foran, who were
also living in the same area, and whose children were all
baptized there between 1859 and 1876. It is also very likely that
the Ellen Foran who sponsored the baptisms of our ancestor James
Foran's children, was a sister.
John Foran submitted the following information:
A John Foran and Bridget O'Brien lived at
Rineen in the 1870s. Some of their children are:
1-Patrick
Foran, b.Nov. 22, 1872:
2-John
Foran, b.April 1, 1874:
3-Michael
Foran, b.June 29, 1875:

- "I have not yet established a connection. Rineen is a townland 3
or 4 km north of Milltown Malbay. It is in the civil parish of Killmanaheen. Ennistymon is the RC parish, the Poor Law Union and
Civil Registration District". Compiled 13 Nov. 1998

Other Fennell families
A Michael Fennell and his
wife Mary Glynn, who lived in the parish of Kilmurry-Ibrickane in
the 1860s, also deserves mention. They had three known children,
namely: 1-Margaret Fennell (baptized June 11, 1865, sponsors
Michael Crowly and Margaret Madigan): 2-Patrick Fennell (baptized
March 3, 1867, at Craget, sponsors John and Margaret Glynn):
3-Mary Fennell (baptized at Cragaknock on April 4, 1869, sponsors
Michael Carthy and Margaret Halloran). I suspect a relationship
between this Michael Fennell and our own Thomas Fennell.

Other Cosgrove
families
One of two Cosgrove families that
bears considering is that of Michael John Cosgrove, who married
Mary Hare. They had four known children that were all baptized in
the same church that our ancestors attended, St. Patrick's RC
Church in Galway, namely: 1-Mary Cate Cosgrove (on Feb.5, 1895,
sponsors Patrick Lydon and Linnia Sills): 2-Bridget Cosgrove (on
Aug.28, 1900, sponsors Thomas Lydon and Mary Duggan): 3-James
Cosgrove (on July 4, 1907, sponsors John and Mary Morris):
4-Patrick Stephen Cosgrove (on Sept.5, 1917, sponsors Sam
Cosgrove {is this our Sam Cosgrove, s/o John Cosgrove, who is
buried in common grave with Jane (nee Cosgrove) Fennell?} and
Honora Maguire).
The other family is that of John
Cosgrove and Honora Catherine Keating. Their three known children
were also baptized in St. Patrick's: 1-Shiela Marie Cosgrove (on
Aug.20, 1911, sponsors Michael Fennell {is this our grandfather?}
and Helen Cosgrove): 2-John Nicholas Cosgrove (on Dec.2, 1912,
sponsors Peter Cosgrove and Anna Coyne): 3-Bridgid Catherine
Cosgrove (on Sept.6, 1916, sponsors Peter Cosgrove and Rose
Keating). I strongly suspect that these families are related to
our own Cosgrove ancestors. This could well be the John
Cosgrove whose headstone is in Rahoon Cemetery, Galway. It reads
as such:
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Have mercy on the soul
Of
John Cosgrove
Died 25 March 1897
R.I.P.
Erected by his loving
