There is a Spillane family in my Creedon/Cogan line. It's very sketchy, but it's all I have. What piqued my interest, besides the Spillane name, was the given name of Maurice mentioned in your post. Parents: John SPILLANE - no information Nellie COGAN - no information (father may have been John; I have info on some other siblings). Children: 1) John "Jack" SPILLANE b ca 1864 prob Co Cork d 27 Oct 1896 buried Mt Olivet Cemetery, Buena Vista (Chaffee Co) Colorado 2) Jerry (Jeremiah?) SPILLANE b ca 1868 prob Co Cork d 17 Jul 1925 buried Mt Olivet Cemetery, Buena Vista (Chaffee Co) Colorado 3) Morris or Maurice SPILLANE - no information 4) Ellen? SPILLANE - no information 5) Mary SPILLANE - no information 6) Maggie (Margaret?) SPILLANE - no information Must be a connection somewhere...
