This is a hybrid website and blog, to record the descendants of
John McCann and Margaret Hague.
The pages will cover each of the descendants, and their children over six generations. If you have any comment to make, go to the Family Stories page and you will be on the blog portion. It’s quite possible that some of the information is inaccurate, so please use this facility to put it right. I hope you enjoy exploring your family tree.
The picture of the family grave opposite has the following names engraved on it:
Patrick McCann died 11 August 1952 age 97
and his wife Wilhelmina nee Millar
Margaret McCann nee Hague
Patrick Toher and his wife Mary, nee McCann
James McCann and his wife Mary nee McCabe
John Philemey died 22nd November 1928 aged 6 years

The first generation is John and Margaret McCann and their children. Any name in blue with an underline is a link to that person’s page. The second generation then, is their grandchildren, or our parents (Vincent McCann and Rita McCann etc.) Third Gen will be their Grandkids, and so on. The pages are also listed down the side.
This website and blog will not be of much use unless family members make a contribution, so we need your input. You can do this by putting in stories about your family in the blog section (Family Stories) or by e-mailing me directly. I’ll make sure your stuff goes in the relevant page. Thanks in anticipation. Derek.
The Catholic Church in Ballyhaise. When Tony, Pat and myself went up for the summers, I can remember going to mass there – in those days, all the women sat on one side, and the men on the other. The women had to have their head covered. This is where I can remember being at the funeral of Grandpa Patrick in 1952. The church is just a few yards down from the old Schoolhouse where the O’Rourkes lived back in the 50’s.
