Kilcoyne-Sligo, Ireland
I am trying to find relationship.About 1902 my grandfather, Thomas Niland of Drumfin, Sligo picked Denis and Patrick Kilcoyne as baptismal sponsors for his two oldest children.They lived in Clooneen; I assume Denis and Patrick were brothers and want to know if they were related to my family. Thomas was born about 1867 and was the son of Peter Niland of Drumfin and Bridget (Delia) Cryan of Carrigans Upper, near Ballymote. (Peter's father may have been Patrick, Bridget's father was Thomas; I don't know the maiden name of Peter or Bridget's mothers.) Thomas came to America with one of the Kilcoyne's and when he returned to Sligo in 1901 the same Kilcoyne fellow went back with him.While in America they worked in NYC and may have lived in Manhattan or Newark, NJ.
