Thanks for that info .. I'm still on the trail .. but I'm sure there is a match .. the problem is that brothers and sisters etc all named their kids with similar names .. so the Denis's and Bridget's multiply. I'm going to Barnagore, Tipperary in the next two months to meet with living Roughan's related to my great grandmother Hannah Roughan .. who married an OShea here in Australia .. Michael Roughan married Bridget OMara and had at least three sons and a daughter .. James, Denis, Patrick and Hannah .. both Patrick and Hannah somehow ended up in Buninyong Victora. I've found two Whelan brothers here in Australia who've been working on the Roughan's for some years .. their grandmother was Bridget Roughan daughter of the second marriage of Dr.James Roughan (he had 3) who came to Australia also, and I presume to meet up with her aunt because this Bridget Roughan married the Whelan near Buninyong. My email is
