I have O'Kane relatives but know very little, any info is appreciated.

James O'Kane born 1811 and wife (unknown) were Irish, and came to Port Glasgow Scotland (unknown time) and had a daughter (she may have been born in Ire or Scot.) Rose O'Kane in 1864.

any more info is REALLY appreciated, even possible links :)

Hi, just came across your post, not sure if same family, but my husbands family are O'Kanes. Have a James born about 1830 Ireland, married to a Rose. A son James born about 1867 Port Glasgow, a daughter Rose born about 1867 Port Glasgow. I have only recently started researching O'Kanes, so i don't have a lot of info.

Can't recall my original post but here is the info I have
james o'kane born abt 1811 married Rose or Margaret
children Rose b. 1864, and other siblings but records seem mixed up. They resided in Port Glasgow in the late 1860's until they all were deceased. It seems odd that James was born in 1811 and did not have kids until 1864 so I wonder if he is the grandfather.

Hi, i haven't got back to 1811 yet, but its possible its the same family,what i have is.
James O'Kane born abt.1830 Northern Ireland. In 1881 scottish census,his wife Rose born abt.1831 Ireland. Children,Rose 1861, James 1867,Bridget 1871, Thomas 1873, all born Port Glasgow.James married Elizabeth Mayes in Port Glasgow, they had five children,the line i'm following is that of their son Thomas born 1892 died 1957,he had 5/6 children, one of whom was James born 1924 died 1995,i think he has a couple of sisters still in the Port area.

My Rose O'kane born abt. 1864 married Robert Mayes born about 1859. Robert was from Ireland. had siblings Maggie, Ellen, Charlotte, Sarah. Rob. and Rose had children, Thomas, George, Robert, Rose, Mary.
Rose O'Kane may have had a sis, Elizabeth.

I cannot quite find the connection with our trees but it sure seems coincidental with the Mayes/O'Kane connections in both of our trees.
Robert lived at 44 Church St Port Glasgow in about 1891.

So once again I see a lot of connections but not sure how!

My James O'Kane & Elizabeth Mayes lived in Bay St. in 1920. He was a Baker.Maybe dating back to 1811 our ancesters were brothers, also Robert & Elizabeth Mayes could have been cousins.When i find more info, we maybe able to make the connection.
