Hi,
I am trying to trace Andrew Joseph Logan from Galway on behalf of American friends of mine. Andrew was born about 1820 and emmigrated to the US in 1848. He had a brother Patrick and a sister Ann who also emmigrated to the US. There is a possibility that his mother was called Margaret. Andrew Logan married Julia Joy from Tralee in the US in the 1850's. Andrew listed his profession as a carriage maker in the US. According to Griffiths Valuation there was a George and John Logan living in Clonrush in 1855. Is anyone familiar with this story or any Logans still living in the Clonrush area?
Many thanks,
Ann Marie Fair

A George Logan lived in the parish of Clonrush and the location of the house can be found in the map.
There are no graves identified with the name Logan in the Clonrush graveyard but that's not to say Logan's are not buried there. http://www.clonrush.eu/Index%20to%20names.htm
George Logan is in the Gweeneeny townland Gweeneeny
You could also try the 1901 & 1911 census records - it may be that George and Margaret were the only ones left by 1901
