Hi Terry - I found only a sister for my Mary Ann JOHNSON born in Boyle. However that was in the Church of Ireland records and I suspect these famlies were actually Catholic. Do you have your folk in the UK censuses? If not, I have could look them up for you and see if there are any clues there. Just let me know a few details, children's names etc. Cheers, Patsy Subject: [ROSCOMMON] John Johnson > I have a GGGrandfather John Johnson (birthplace unknown) who married a > Mary Keaney from Roscommon and moved to the South Shields area of England. > around 1850.
