My g-g-grandparents were James McCann and Catherine Gibney, who were married in Castlepollard in 1859. I believe that James' parents were Thomas McCann and Catherine Lynch since only one James McCann was baptized in St. Michael's in Castlepollard during the likely years of his birth, though I cannot prove that parentage. There are no other records or mentionings of this couple except as the parents of a James and five other children, all baptized in that parish. Catherine Gibney's parents were Bryan Gibney and Bridget Ledwidge, married in that same church in 1829. I have no clue as to the parentage of Bridget Ledwidge. Bryan's parents were most likely Phillip Gibney and Bridget McDaniel, married there in 1795, also in that parish. Since Castlepollard Catholic parish is so close to adjacent Co. Cavan parishes and Co. Meath parishes, I am wondering whether anyone might have connections to these McCann's, Lynch's, McDaniel's, Gibney's or Ledwidge's in Co. Cavan parishes.
