Subject: RE: Help: John Gorman, Jack the Piper, Drumshanbo
hello, stumbled on this page looking for information about the Gorman's of Derrylahan. I trace my relations back to a Patrick Gorman born in this part of Roscommon about 1859 and baptized in Loughglynn Parish. He married a woman named Bridget Waldron from Cartron/Coolnaha South in Aghamore Parish about 1877. Their residence is reported as Carrowbehy in the baptism records when they baptized their first four children in Loughglynn parish (about 1878 through 1882). What I believe is his baptism registry from Loughglynn said that his parents were John and Mary FLannigan. Believe he might have had a brother Michael born 1856. John Gorman appears as a tenant on the Griffith’s valuation in the town of Derrylahan, in the civil parish of Tibohine, which looks consistent with the Catholic parish of Loughglynn.   John Gorman, per the Valuation, resided in cottages noted as 8 a and 8b in the middle of the small townland known as Derrylahan, which is located east of Errit Lough in a small area that I think is known today commonly as Derrylahan, Kilruane, Co. Roscommon. There were a few other Gorman's in this small townland called Derrylahan. Wonder how they relate. Any family connections you can explain, please let me know. Very cool eating about the Piper John Gorman. Thanks! Ed from California.
