    James was baptized September 6 1862 in the Inishkeen RC parish in Co. Monaghan father Bernard Coleman and mother Catherine Callan. He had the following siblings: Elizabeth 1864 Thomas 1866 Mary Jane 1868 Catherine 1870 Neil Patrick 1873 Laurence Edward 1875 Bernard John 1878 John Francis 1884 Alice Mary 1885

    The family lived in Cornagarvoge townland in Inishkeen civil parish.

    See eighth record at this link for the civil birth record for Alice in 1885. Father's name was shown as Bryan which is used interchangebly with Bernard.   https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…

    Bernard died in 1894  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_retu…

    I did not find a good lead on a death record for Catherine.
