The family has a note saying Patrick Bahen married Richard Buckey daughter, Richard was piked the night of the Roman Rebellion. That's all I know about my Irish connection.

    I am building a Family Tree through Ancestry and came across a relative named Mary Ellen Behan born about 1814 in Co Tipperary, Ireland and passed away in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - looks like her parents were Jeremiah Behan and Catherine Flynn both born in 1790 - might have been married to Thomas George Edge in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada - would like to hear from anyone who know more about these families. Thanks

    My Grand Father Bernard Behan was born December 1890 in Tyrrellspass, Westmeath to Richard Behan and Mary (Farrell) Behan. He was Web in Dublin in March 1922 to Jane O' Neill. Any Behan's out there linked in Westmeath to me. My fathers name was also Bernard Behan born in Dublin.
