My family and I have always believed that our family came from Capparanny in Turlough, Co. Mayo; however I have recently found out that although my great grandfather (Denis Hoban b. 1894) was born there along with his brothers and sisters his father (Pat Hoban) was not! This has thrown a spanner in works so to speak and I can't get any further with my research. BUT... I have also recently learnt that the Hoban's were related to the Carroll's and this family appear on the Griffiths Valuation in Capparanny, so my theory is that the Hoban's married into the Carroll's and moved to Capparanny. So my next step is to find a marriage which links the two familys and this is where i need help. I realise I may be asking the impossible but it is worth a shot. Pat Hoban was born between 1839-1846 according to the 1901 census he is 55 and the 1911 he is 72; his father was Thomas Hoban and this is all I know. Can anyone help?
