My name is Rob Ure, and I'm a descendant from the Horan, Darcy, McDermott lines on my mothers side. I see a lot of wonderful information here in this group and thought I'd share what I've learned about my ancestors to see if I might meet some cousins here! Here is the research I have gathered, I hope you find it useful:
-----------
By searching County Leitrim marriage records for the
marriage of John Horan and Kate Darcy. We found the following civil
marriage recorded in Drumkeeran civil district:-
John Horan married Catherine Darcy on 13/09/1900 in Drumkeeran
Roman Catholic church. John was full age, a bachelor, a farmer,
from Tullyloughin Co. Leitrim and his father was Patrick Horan, a
farmer, who was alive at the time of the marriage. Catherine Darcy
was full age, a spinster, a servant, from Gortnasilla East Co. Leitrim
and her father was Patrick Darcy, a farmer, also alive at the time of
the marriage. The witnesses were Thomas Horan and Maggie Darcy.
We then searched County Leitrim civil birth records and found the
following children recorded born to this couple in Dromahaire civil
district:-
1. Winifred born 31/07/1901 to parents John Horan (a farmer) &
Kate Darcy in Tullinloughin.
2. Catherine born 04/12/1903 to parents John Horan (a farmer)
& Catherine Darcy in Tullinloughan. (THIS IS MY GRANDMOTHER, WHO LATER MOVED TO NEW YORK)
Earlier Generation - Darcy Family
We checked for the birth of a Catherine Darcy to a father Patrick, and
found that her mother was Honor McDermott. We searched all our
County Leitrim marriage records for this Darcy & McDermott marriage
and found it recorded in civil records only, as follows:
Pat Darcy married Honor McDermott on 27/02/1865 in Innishmagrath
Roman Catholic church. Pat was aged 20 years, a bachelor, a
farmer, from Lisnanorris and his father was Pat Darcy, a farmer.
Honor McDermott was full age, a spinster, from Lisnanorris and her
father was James McDermott, a deceased farmer. The witnesses
were Owen McDermott and James Carol.
As their last child was born in 1876, therefore their childrens
baptisms will not be traceable.
We found the following children recorded born to this couple in
Drumkeeran civil district:-
1. Bridget born 26/10/1866 to parents Pat Darcy (a farm labourer)
& Honora McDermott in Lisnanorris Innismagrath.
2. Francis born 01/08/1869 to parents Pat Darcy (a farmer)
& Honor McDermott in Lisnanorris Innismagrath.
3. Catherine born at 9am on 22/03/1871 to parents Pat Darcy (a
farmer) & Honor McDermott in Lisnanorris Innismagrath.
4. Mary born at 9.10am on 22/03/1871 to parents Pat Darcy (a
farmer) & Honor McDermott in Lisnanorris Innismagrath.
5. Margaret born 18/12/1872 to parents Pat Dorsy (a farmer)
& Honor McDermott in Lisnanorris Innismagrath.
6. Pat born 28/01/1874 to parents Pat Darcy (a farmer) & Honor
McDermott in Lisnanorris Innismagrath.

a James Darcy listed.
