I don't know if we are in any way connected but I thought I'd reply, just in case. My grandfather John Kilgannon died in WW2. We know he had two sisters, he could have had more but we dont know. His sisters were Annie and Louisa. Their parents were James Kilgannon and Louisa Jane Jones. James' father was Patrick (what else for an Irishman?). Did your uncle Dan in Devon have any other relations who lived in Devon? "My" Kilgannons live in the Exeter area. Regards, Elaine Kilgannon Beckham

My wife had Kilgannons from Dromore West. Patrick Gilgannon married Catherine Neary and left for somewhere in England. They had two daughters there and were in Ohio by 188o. Kilgannons, Nearys and O'Dowds were the family names I am familiar with in Easkey and Drowmore West. Some of the family were around Templeboy. We maintain contacts with Sonny and Judy Kingannon in Dromore West. If you have any information concerning where Kilgannons might have settledd in England, please contact me. Thank youj

Like others, I'm sure we're distantly related, but I don't know how. My G-Grandmother was Mary Ellen Kilgannon of Farranmacfarrell, Dromore West. Her parents were Pat Kilgannon (son of Daniel Kilgannon of Glen Easky) and Bridget Gilvarry. Mary Ellen's brother was Daniel Kilgannon, but he died relatively young.

Mary Ellen emigrated to New York City as a teenager, shortly after her youngest sibling (a half-sister), Sarah Kilgannon, was born in 1887. --Kevin Alcott
