Hello there,

My great grandmother was Kate (or perhaps Catherine Bolan) who was born in 1860 in Hollyford.  Are there any Bolan's still living there.  I am trying to find out who her parents were so that I can trace them to England.  She married my great-grandfather Henry Brown in Richmond, Surrey in 1877.  I would be so greatful if anyone has any information about them.

Thanks Joyce Pawley

    I looked at the Roots Ireland indexes and they have an 1860 baptismal record for a Catherine Bolan (or variant) in the Kilcommon RC parish which includes Hollyford. The parents names were Brian and Margaret. 

    Roots is a subscription site. You may want to wait until next summer when the National Library will have the RC parish registers online for free searching.
