Hi Faye,  my HOGAN and DARCEY ancestors lived on the adjacent townland to Sragh. It was Grailillane (Gralagane).  My ancestor Michael Darcey emigrated to Qld Australia sometime before 1870.  A Margaret KENNEDY is a sponsor on one of the  Darcey baptisms.

Hi,

I can see this post is a few years old but I am hoping to clarify some connections if possible. The William Hogan named above is my 3rd great grandfather, he and his brothers and father were transported for manslaughter and eventually settled around Bathurst, NSW. 

In regards to the son still in Ireland, I have found an article regarding a Stephen Hogan and his wife Winifred Cahill (alias Michael and Winifred Darcy) who were found near Manchester, England and arrested for a murder in 1835 in Ireland. There are census records of an Irish family Michael and Winifred Darcy with their daughters Ann and Mary living in Manchester in 1851.

Article is below:

From The Hobarton Mercury, 4th July 1855

Trial for Murder Committed in 1835.

At the Tipperary assizes a man named Stephen Hogan was arraigned before the grand jury, charged with Committing murder so long ago as 1835. It appears that the person who was murdered was a bailiff, and that having in the year 1835 gone to execute some law process at the residence of the male prisoner and his brothers, near Borrisokane, he was attacked and killed. Three persons named Hogan were convicted at the spring assizes, 1836, but the parties charged at the assizes fled the country, and eluded the vigilance of the police until the present year when they were arrested in Manchester, near which place Stephen Hogan carried on business as a pedlar. They were brought over to this country in January last, the female prisoner Winifred Cahill, protesting that she was " English," and never in lreland. However most of the witnesses, the coroner, doctor, and other parties concerned in the case, have died in the interim since the occurrence, and the grand jury had to ignore the bills from the want of sufficient evidence.

I am trying to narrow down the townland and parish that my ancestors lived before they were transported, and ideally the names of the two Hogan sisters also. I'm not sure if the above news article is about the same family but it all seems to fit to me at this stage. Hope someone can help me shed some light!

Thanks, Gemma
