My great grandmother Bridget Loughlin was born in Castlewarren, Co. Kilkenny. Her parents were John Loughlin and Mary Sheehan and her siblings were Honor, Lot, Norrey, Nicholas, Betty, Pat, and Mary. It seems that she also had a cousin called Lot born to Martin Loughlin and Mary Morissey. I have found references to 2 Lot Loughlins / Laughlins in the 1880 US census – one in Ohio and one in Iowa. Given the ages and names of their children, I think both these Lot Loughlins may have been first cousins born in Co. Kilkenny. Does any of this fit in with anyone elses tree?
