Patrick Hogan and Ellen Pierce - Elizabeth, Michael, and Minnie Hogan

We've already seen that David Hogan's sisterElizabeth Hogan is baptized in Innishannon on 23 Feb 1873 - parents are Patrick Hogan and Ellen Pierce; sponsors are Edward Hogan and Mary Mahoney.

www.familysearch.org has the following information about Elizabeth's birth registration -

Same thing with Elizabeth as with David - baptism before birth. I found no other information about Elizabeth.

On 27 April 1874 Michael Hogan of Shippool is baptized. www.familysearch.org had the following -

I found an entry for Minnie Hogan leaving Queenstown on 30 April 1897 on the S.S. Scythia for Boston. She is an 18 year old single servant. Her last residence was Kinsale and she is heading for Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her brother paid for her ticket; she has $2.50. She is joining David Hogan, her brother, at 12 9th Street, Cambridge.

9th Street in Cambridge was changed to Fulkerson Street - named after a Cambridge native who died in WWII.

12 Fulkerson Street - the former 9th Street - in Cambridge. 

#12 is the door on the left. 

(#10 is the house on the left; #14 is the door on the right.)

A few years later Minnie marries Patrick Lucey - is this Nellie Lucey Hogan's brother?  The City of Somerville has a listing for 19 May 1901. It is the first marriage for both of them. He is a 24 year old laborer living at 295 Washington Street in Somerville. She is a 25 year old domestic living at 87 Marshall Street in Somerville. We know her parents are Patrick Hogan and Ellen Pierce. His parents are Jeremiah Lucey and Nora Callahan. (Nellie's father is listed as Patrick Lucey and her mother as Hannah Callaghan on her marriage certificate. So maybe they are cousins?) Joseph Keyes, Catholic priest, performed the marriage. He resides at 399 Medford Street, Somerville - this would be St. Ann's Church.

We can see where Marshall Street is with the red icon. St. Ann's is 3 blocks away on Medford and Thurston Streets - there is a little gray icon.

87 Marshall Street where Minnie lived is located at the corner of Stickney and Marshall Streets so I think this is it. 

The red icon shows where Patrick Lucey was living. If you go straight up to Somerville High School, you can see a small icon showing 87 Marshall Street where Minnie lived. St. Anne's Church then is just up Medford Street. 

285 Washington Street is the brick building with the red awning on the left.  #295 must have been just passed this building where there is a bridge over railroad tracks.

Patrick and Minnie Lucey have a Christmas present on 22 December 1901 when Jeremiah Francis Lucey is born in Somerville. They are living there at 22 Wyatt Street. Patrick is a laborer at American Tube Works. 

Red icon shows where American Tube Works Company was located.

Former American Tube Works Company on corner of Somerville and Dane Streets.

Let's check with a walking tour again! “ 'The Ins and Outs of Union Square' A Self-Guided Walking Tour led by Edward Gordon, President of the Victorian Society in America, New England Chapter
Sponsored by the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission and ArtsUnion with funding by the Massachusetts Cultural Council" tells us that  

"American Tube Works

The American Tube Works Company, located on Somerville Avenue at Dane Street was incorporated in March of 1852 for the purpose of manufacturing seamless brass and copper tubes. The firm had obtained exclusive right to manufacture “Green’s Patent brass tubes,” patented in England four years earlier. Freeborn Adams, a South Boston machinist, invented similar equipment to produce seamless copper tubes and was the first director of plant operations. American Tube was the first company in the U.S. to produce seamless boiler tubes for locomotive, marine, and stationary engines in addition to tubes and piping for a variety of other purposes. Since the manufacturing process was unpatented, it was kept a closely guarded secret. Its products were exported to all corners of the world for over half a century.

The company appears to have been immediately successful, employing 175 men (second only to the Union Glass Works) and by 1875, produced $1.2 million worth of brass and copper tubing. In the first decades of the twentieth century, the company expanded and rebuilt the complex to include four large drawing mills, rolling mill, foundry, and pattern and blacksmith shops, all arranged around three sides of the relatively tiny Milk Row Cemetery. Today, separate firms are housed in the seven brick buildings of the complex on Somerville Avenue that still remain. 

American Tube Works closed in the 1930s, and this cluster of buildings was used by the H.P. Hood Company as part of their egg department. The oldest current existing building standing is the machine and pattern shop to the rear of the Cemetery. The boiler house on Dane Street has recently been converted to office use."

Page 645 of the 1901 Somerville Directory lists American Tube Works under "Brass Tubes" - 26 Frost ave. office Milk, cor. Oliver, B. See p. 807

Page 807 has an ad for American Tube Works.

Two years later on 29 December, 1903 John Joseph Lucey is born  in Somerville. Patrick and Mary E. Lucey are still living at 22 Wyatt Street.  Patrick continues as a laborer.

The red door on the left is #22. I wonder if this is the original building?

Mary Ellen Lucey is born 5 September 1905. Patrick is still a laborer, and the family is still on 22 Wyatt Street in Somerville.

Patrick Francis Lucey arrives 23 February 1907. 

Charles Thomas Lucey is born 2 July 1908 in Somerville, but the family has moved to 90 Concord Avenue. Patrick now is listed as a machinist.

The family always stays within the same area.

90 Concord Avenue in Somerville.

Another son is born on 9 March 1910 - Daniel Henry Lucey. The family is living at 12 Kilby Street in Somerville. Patrick is now working as a laborer in a chemical plant. Interesting that the mother in the line above our Daniel is also Mary Ellen Hogan - she is married to Ernest Hilliard.

10 Kilby is the house on the left with red trim. Not sure if #12 is the green house or if it was torn down.

George Sheridan took the 1910 U.S. Census of Somerville's Ward 2 Precinct 3 on 2 May. As we just saw, our Lucey family is living on 12 Kilby Street.  This is a building with several apartments because there are two other apartments at #12 and two at #12A. So if the green building in the picture above is not #12 then the building that housed these apartments must have been equally as large.

Patrick Lucey is the 33 year old head of the family. He has been married for 9 years to 34 year old Mary Lucey. She has had 6 children - five are living. They both immigrated in 1897; he is naturalized American citizen - if he was naturalized while he was married, Mary was naturalized with him.

He was not out of work on April 10 of this year. He is a laborer at the Tube Works Company. Patrick and Mary both read and write. They are renting their apartment.

There are 5 Lucey sons - Jeremiah is 8, John is 6, Frank is 4, Charles is 2, and baby Daniel is 2 months. Jeremiah and John attend school. Mary Ellen Lucey must be the child who died.

June 10, 1914 in Cambridge a baby girl was born to Patrick Lucey and Ellen Hogan who are now living at 19 Hunting Street in Cambridge.  

19 Hunting is just 4 blocks from where the Luceys lived on Columbia Street.

19 Hunting Street is on the right side of the green house.

John R. Callahan conducted the 1920 U.S. Census of Cambridge's Ward 3 Precinct 4 on 27 January. The Luceys are now renting an apartment at 361 Columbia Street.

361 must be the house in green. The house on the left is 359 and the yellow house is 367. 

The census tells us that 42 year old Patrick and 43 year old Mary Lucey immigrated in 1898 and were naturalized in 1903. Patrick is a city laborer.

Their 5 sons are still living with them.  18 year old Jeremiah is a machine operator at Woven Hose Company. His brother John is 16 and also works at the Woven Hose Company as a folder.

Patrick is 13, Charlie is 11, and Daniel is 9 - they all attend school. They also have 3 sisters - Lena is 7, Nora is 5 - they also go to school. Catherine is the baby and is 3. 

The Luceys are listed in the 1930 United States Census. They are living on block 9 of Cambridge's Ward 3 at 1229 Cambridge Street. Timothy O'Brien conducted the census on April 9.

Our Luceys are renting an apartment for $33 per month and have a radio. Patrick is 52 years old; Mary is 53. He was 24 at his first marriage; she was 25. Notice the census does not ask how many marriages each has had.

The other information is the same - they are able to read and write - they speak English.  They and their parents were born in the Irish Free State - this is a new term since the Irish War of independence as we have seen in other 1920 censuses. Patrick immigrated in 1899, and Mary in 1897. They are both naturalized. Patrick is a city worker, and he worked yesterday. He is not a U.S. Veteran.

Son Daniel Lucey is 20 and works as a mixer at an ink factory.
Jeremiah Lucey is 28 and is working at a rubber factory.
Lena is 17, Norah is 15, Catherine is 13, and Walter is 9.  They have all attended school at some time since September 1, 1929.

The Luceys are still renting the Cambridge Street apartment in 1940 - now they are paying $27 monthly.

Patrick Lucey is 62 years old. Mary reports he completed 4 years of high school. He is working for the city street department. He worked 52 weeks in 1939 and made $1600. He did not receive any other type of income.

Mary is 63 years old and attended the first year of high school. 

Their son John is 36, single, and finished 8th grade. He did  not work for pay or profit in either private or nonemergency government work the week of March 24-30. He was assigned to public emergency work - the C.C.C. or Civilian Conservation Corps - that week. This was part of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to help single, unemployed men work during the Depression. He only worked 7 weeks in 1939 and made $210. His occupation is listed as a laborer for the C.C.C.  He was unemployed for 76 weeks up to March 30, 1940 - almost a year and a half. He received income of $50 or more from sources other than wages or salary. I read somewhere that the C.C.C. gave a person $30 monthly and $25 had to be sent home. Maybe that was the source of John's other income.

Patrick Lucey, Jr. is 33, single, and finished 2 years of high school. He was not working the week of March 24-30. He is looking for work. He has been out of work for 250 weeks - almost 5 years! He is assigned as a clerk for the WPA - the Works Progress Administration - another New Deal program. He did not work at all in 1939 - he had no salary and no other income.

Charles Lucey is 31 and single - he completed the 8th grade.  He is also looking for work. He has been unemployed for 104 weeks - his normal occupation is a hospital attendant in the private sector - unlike his brothers who are both in government programs. He did not work in 1939 so had no salary - he had no other income. 

At the bottom of the page are Supplementary Questions, and Patrick Lucey, Jr. is on the bottom line. His parents were born in Eire and speak English. Patrick is not a veteran of the U.S. military forces. He does have a Federal Social Security number. There were no deductions for Federal Old-Age Insurance or Railroad Retirement because Patrick had no salary in 1939. His usual occupation is a truck driver in the transportation industry.

So that is it for the Luceys. I went to Boston College with Joan Lucey from Revere. I wonder if she was related to these Luceys? 

Patrick Hogan and Ellen Pierce - David Hogan

I know a little bit about Ellen Pierce's children. We know that young Patrick Cooney remained in Ireland, and his son Timmy/Timsy Cooney married Judy Keohane - my grandfather's half-sister.

We have already seen the 1901 Irish Census showing this family in house 6 in the townland of Winst Mills in Tisanon parish. The other pages of the census are torn - but it looks like this is the only house in this townland.

The head of the family is 36 year old Patrick Cooney - he cannot read or write - he is an agricultural laborer. His wife Ellen is 33 - she is able to read and write - she was born in County Cork like Patrick.

There are 4 Cooney children - 12 year old Mary and 10 year old Patrick are scholars. The babies are 3 year old Julia and 1 year old Timothy.  There is a 7 year gap between Patrick and Julia. I wonder if this means that there were other children or miscarriages? Sad to think about it.

Again, we saw our family in the 1911 Census of Ireland - they are living in house 7 in Tisaxon Mor townland in Tisaxon parish of Kinsale. The family is living in a 2nd class building with 3 windows in the front of the house which has 4 rooms. Patrick owns the house.

Look at Charles Bateman - his house has 10 rooms for Mr. and Mrs. Bateman and their 11 children. Slaters' Directory of 1856 listed a Charles Bateman as the Post Master in Kinsale - he also had a grocery shop in The Glen. If this was the same gentleman, it explains the big house.

As we saw previously, 46 year old Patrick Cooney is a widower now. He is still working as a laborer. Julia is 13 and is probably the housekeeper while 11 year old Timothy is going to school. This Timothy will marry our Julia Keohane.

Mae Kiely had sent me a note about her father's family.

"Patrick Hogan was my, May Kiely, grandfather.
His first marriage was to Julia Cahalane.
Their two children were 
Ellen Hogan (James McCarthy's mother)
Edward Hogan (who has grandchildren in Cambridge and   Arlington)  This is Ned Hogan.

Patrick Hogan's second marriage was to Ellen Pierce Cooney who had one son Patrick Cooney.
Patrick Hogan's children by his second marriage were 
Charles (my father - May Kiely)
William (called the Stoker) 
Mary (Marie Sullivan's mother)
David
Michael

Ellen Pierce Cooney Hogan's sister Mary Pierce was married to John Keohane. They had two children that I know off. Patrick and John Reardon's mother. Patrick married Hannah Kiely and their children were Hannah, Nellie, Mary/Minnie, James, John, Tom.
Patrick's second marriage was to Julia Murphy. They had one daughter who is Eileen Griffin's mother."

So we saw baptismal records for David Hogan - baptized 17 July 1871 in Innishannon.  www.familysearch.org had the following information re David's birth registration - this lists Ballymartle as the place of christening.

Name:	Ellen Peirce
Gender:	Female
Husband:	Patrick Hogan
Son:	David

Other information in the record of David

from Ireland Births and Baptisms

So David was born after he was baptized! We have seen this before. Parents have their babies baptized right away at their local church, but they register them the next time that they go into town. At some point the law said that the birth had to be registered within 3 weeks of the birth. Sometimes it might be a month before the family went into town so there can be a big discrepancy between the baptism and birth dates. And what about Innishannon vs Ballymartle? Perhaps someone went to Ballymartle before Innishannon??

1898 finds that David Hogan has emigrated to America and is staying at 24 Jefferson Street in Cambridge with his half brother Ned Hogan - both are laborers.

1900 sees David marrying Nellie Lucey on 9 November. David is 28 and living at 2 Fitchburg Court in Somerville; Nellie is 26 and is living at 12 London Street in Somerville. David is a laborer while Nellie is a domestic. They were both born in County Cork, Ireland. Parents are Patrick and Ellen (Pierce) Hogan and Patrick and Hannah (Callaghan) Lucey. It is the first marriage for both.  James P. F. Kelly, a priest, of 264 Washington St., Somerville performs the marriage. (This address is St. Joseph's Church in Somerville.)

I didn't find either London Street or Fitchburg Court in present day Somerville. 

“'The Ins and Outs of Union Square' A Self-Guided Walking Tour 
Led by Edward Gordon, President of the Victorian Society in America, New England Chapter
Sponsored by the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission and Arts Union with funding by the Massachusetts Cultural Council" tells us: 

"Washington Street & Union Square - St. Joseph’s Catholic Church – 1871 -74. Architect: James Murphy
This is the first Catholic Church in Somerville and the mother church of Catholicism in the City. The church is an excellent example of the Gothic Revival Style favored for churches at the time. Note the lancet (pointed) arches, a hallmark of the Gothic and Gothic Revival Style, used for doorways and windows, the Gothic buttress elements along the walls and tower, and the Gothic rose/wheel window in the front gable of the church ... This form originated in ancient Roman Basilicas, or court buildings, and early Christians adopted it as their own, usually with the addition of towers, steeples and other modifications, as Christianity became an accepted religion in the Roman Empire. The steeple of the church was damaged by the Hurricane of 1938, and unfortunately was later removed. " 

St. Joseph's Church in Somerville

The icon shows where St. Joseph's Church is located.

From another walking tour led by the same man "Union Square Revisited: From Sand Pit to Melting Pot Led by Edward W. Gordon, President of the Victorian Society in America/ New England Chapter" we learn that: 

"St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, at Washington and
Webster Streets. Until St. Joseph’s Church opened in 1870-1874,
Somerville’s notable population of 2,000 Catholics were forced to walk considerable distances to worship in churches in Charlestown and Cambridge. On January 20, 1870, the Mayo estate was purchased, and architect James Murphy designed a new Victorian Gothic church for local Catholics. In 1871 the pastor Monsignor Christopher C. McGrath held the first services in the lower church, and then he presided over the congregation for the next sixty-three years! Sadly the steeple of the church was taken down in 1978 for fear that structural instability would cause it to collapse, and Union Square lost a significant landmark -  very striking landmark. "

I found a birth certificate for Patrick Charles Hogan who was born in Cambridge on December 11, 1901. He is line 1760 on page 354.  Parents are David Hogan and Ellen Lucey who are living at 8 First Street in Cambridge. David is listed as a laborer, and both parents were born in Ireland.

I found a naturalization index for David Hogan who is still living on 8 First St. in Cambridge. We'll have to get the papers from the National Archives.

Certificate no. 414-189 at the USCC (United States Circuit Court) Boston Mass. 

Country of birth or allegiance is Great Britain. 
When born: January 26, 1875. 
Date of Naturalization: Oct. 27, 1902. 

In this map, the red icon on the bottom right is 8 First Street in Cambridge. You can see the proximity of Cambridge in the lower half of the map to Somerville on the upper part of the map. The Hogans will spend their lives within the two towns and within the same few miles.

This is First Street in Cambridge today - #8 is on the right. I'm not sure if these are new or renovated brick buildings.

Cambridge Registry of Births for 1903 lists #1752 David Vincent Hogan as born on December 10. David and Nellie are living at 73 Cambridge Street. David is listed as a laborer. Both parents were born in Ireland. 

On page 345 of the Cambridge Registry of Births Honora Hogan is #814 - she was born November 26, 1905 in Cambridge. David and Nellie Hogan are still living at 73 Cambridge Street.

Two years later in 1907 Jeremiah Hogan is born on October 10. He is number 908 on page 359.

Look at the entry above Jeremiah. #907 is baby boy Healy born on August 19 in Cambridge. The father's name is unknown. The mother, Mary Healy, is living on Linwood Street in Somerville. The occupation of the father is unknown as is the place of his birth. Mary was born in Somerville. I wonder what this sad story is.

The red icon shows where 73 Cambridge Street was.

The green sign post on the left points to the right for Cambridge Street. There must have been massive changes in this section of Cambridge. #73 must be close to the intersection of  Cambridge Street with McGrath and O'Brien Highway (rte 28.) The Hogans stayed here for several years.

I wasn't able to find our family in the 1910 U.S. Census.

David and Ellen (? Tousie) Hogan have moved to 42 Winter Street in Cambridge when Edward Francis (#1500 on page 470) is born on August 13, 1916 in Cambridge. I wonder if the Hogan children were born at home or at Cambridge Hospital? 

There is also a WWI registration card for David Hogan. 

Serial Number 3024 - Order Number 570. 

Permanent Home Address: 42 Winter St., Cambridge, Mass.

Age in Years: 45 - Date of Birth: June 5, 1873. 

He is white and is a naturalized citizen of the U.S.A.

He is a laborer for the Cambridge Gas Co. on Third St., Camb., Middlesex, Mass.

His nearest relative is his wife Helen Hogan of 42 Winter St., Camb., Middlesex, Mass.

"I affirm that I have verified above answers and that they are true.

                                     David Hogan"

Page 2 shows that David is of short height, medium build with blue eyes and brown hair.

Paul Bruscia is the Registrar and the date of Registration is Sep 12, 1918.

The red icon is 42 Winter Street in Cambridge. Look at how close Third Street is - I suppose David walked to work. And it is not too far from 93 Cambridge Street where they previously lived.

On the left side are #34 and #36 Winter St. On the right side of this building are doors #38, # 40, #42. So I wonder what floor #42 is?

The 1920 U.S. Census of Cambridge was taken early - on 12 January 1920 by Hubert Gormley.

The David Hogan family is living at 317 Webster Avenue - I can't tell if the family is renting or owns the house. David is the 45 year old head of the family. He immigrated to this country in 1895 and was naturalized in 1900. He is able to read, write and speak English. He was born in Ireland and surprisingly lists Irish as his mother tongue - same thing with his parents. David is working as a laborer at ship building.

Nellie Hogan is his 44 year old wife. She immigrated and was naturalized the same time as David. She also reads, writes, and speaks English. She also lists her mother tongue as Irish.

Five Hogan children are listed. 

18 year old Charles no longer attends school but is a driver for an Express Company.

16 year old Vincent has not attended school since 1 September, 1919 - he is working but I can't make out at what. I thought it said banker but he is only 16. Maybe you can figure it out. www.ancestry.com thought it said banker as well.

14 year old Nora and 12 year old Jeremiah both attend school.

4 1/2 year old Edward has not yet started school.

Map of 317 Webster Avenue where the Hogans live.

I guess this is where the house stood when the Hogans lived here.

This 1927 Somerville Directory lists several of David Hogan's family on 10a Otis Street.

Charles P. Hogan is a teamster.
David V. Hogan is a trainman.
Jeremiah Hogan is a clerk.
Mrs. Nellie Hogan has a house at 10a Otis street.

Our David Hogan is not listed - that likely means that he has died.

Map showing 10 Otis Street in East Somerville

I think the tan house has the number 10 on it.

In the 1930 U.S. Census of Somerville,  55 year old Nellie Hogan  is listed as a widow and is now head of the family. She owns their home at 10a Otis Street. Her tenants pay $35 for monthly rent - the house is worth $6000, but this census does not tell us if Nellie has a mortgage on it.

28 year old Charles P Hogan is still a teamster for a trucking concern, while 14 year Edward J. Hogan is going to to school.

1940 shows our Hogan family still at 10 Otis Street in Somerville. The U.S. Census of Ward 1 was taken by Mary Donovan on April 13.

Nellie Hogan owns the house, but $37 is listed in the column asking how much the house is worth or how much rent a family is paying monthly. Is Nellie paying a mortgage payment of $37 monthly?

Nellie is now 66 - she is widowed - she completed 6th grade. She was born in Eire but is a naturalized U. S. citizen.  She and her family lived in the same house 5 years ago. She is not seeking work. It says she is engaged in house work.  She did not work in 1939 and received no salary. She said that she did not receive income of $50 or more from sources other than wages or salary. So what about the rent her tenants are paying?

Nellie's son David is 37 - he completed 8 years of school. He also lived in the same house 5 years ago. He was at work the week of March 24-30, 1940 - he is a laborer in a warehouse for private industry. He worked 52 weeks in 1939 and made what looks like $1200. He had no other income.

Nellie's son Edward is 24 and completed 8th grade. He also lived in the same house 5 years ago. He was not working the week of March 24-30 for private industry or nonemergency government work. During this time he was not working and was not assigned to public emergency work either. He was seeking work. It looks like he has been unemployed for 4 weeks. Edward has experience as a truck driver in a motor company. He worked 25 weeks in 1939 and made $500.  He has no other income other than wages. 

Let's look at Nellie's tenants for a minute. There are 2 families at 10A Otis Street. George and Maud Worthley areone family - he is 66 and she is 68 years old. They lived in the same town on April 1, 1935. He has not worked in 1939. He is seeking work. How are they paying their $27 monthly rent?

The other family at 10A Otis Street is Patrick Hogan's - he is 38 and was born in Massachusetts.  I presume that this is Nellie and David's son who was born when they lived on First Street in 1901.

His wife Delia is 36 and was born in Eire. They have 3 children - son Charles is 7 and twins Helen and Catherine are 6. 

They lived in the same town in 1935. He has a job and worked 48 hours the week of March 24-30, 1940 as a truck driver for a Trucking Company. He worked 52 weeks in 1939 and made $1820. So I guess he could afford his rent, but Nellie said she had no income.

I wish I knew more about David Hogan's family.

Ellen Pierce and Patrick Hogan

So to recap, Charles Pearce of Dunderrow marries Mary Leary in 1829. They have a son Con Pearce born in 1835, a daughter Ellen Pearce born in 1843, and daughter Mary Pearce but I have no birthdate for her yet. 

Ellen Pearce marries Patrick Cooney in 1859 in Kinsale - they have a son Patrick Cooney.

Meanwhile, Patrick Hogan of Innishannon marries Julia Coughlan. 

They have: 
1) A daughter Ellen Hogan who first marries Denis Driscoll with whom she has one son, Denis Driscoll. 
Ellen then marries John McCarthy and has Ellen, Jeremiah, Julia, James/Jimmy McCarthy, Margaret, Nora, and Minnie.
2) A son Edward/Ned Hogan who emigrates to Cambridge, Massachusetts, marries Annie McSeeeney, and has Patrick, Julia, Lena. His nephew, Jimmy McCarthy, comes out to Ned.

Patrick Cooney dies and so does Julia Coughlan.  Ellen Pierce Cooney then marries Patrick Hogan on 6 October 1870 in St. John the Baptist Church in Kinsale. Reverend D. Dunlea is the celebrant.  Witnesses are Edward Hogan and Mary Pierce - Mary is likely Ellen's sister.

In addition to Ellen's 5 year old son Patrick Cooney, and Patrick Hogan's 9 year old Ellen and 4 year old Ned Hogan, Patrick and Ellen (Pierce Cooney) Hogan have several children together.

17 July 1871 David Hogan is baptized in Innishannon - sponsors are Cornelius Regan and Ellen Leary.

23 Feb 1873 Eliza Hogan is baptized in Innishannon - sponsors are Edward Hogan and Mary Mahoney.

27 April 1874 Michael Hogan of Shippool is baptized - sponsors are John Hurley and Ellen Collins.

Mae Kiely told me that Ellen and Patrick Hogan had five children. We have found baptismal records for David, Eliza, and Michael. Mae also listed William, Minnie and Charlie Hogan, but did not mention Eliza. There is an Irish registration index for Elizabeth Hogan born 12 March 1873 to Patrick Hogan and Ellen Pierce - at some point we could send for this. But I could find no other information with a quick search.

According to Mae, Patrick Hogan and Ellen Pierce had:

1. David Hogan who was born in 1871 and who marries Ellen Lucey. 
2. William (the Stoker) Hogan who marries Nora Lane. 
3. Mary (Minnie) Hogan who marries Patrick Lucey. 
4. Michael Hogan who was born in 1874.
5. Charles Patrick Hogan who was born 10 April 1883.

I found the 1901 Irish Census for this Hogan family. They are living in house 14 in Horse Hill More North in the parish of Dunderrow which is in the District Electoral Division (DED) of Leighmoney. The Poor Law Union of Kinsale covers this area in the barony of Kinalea. This is the Parliamentary Division of South East Cork. Please just give me my town, state, and country! There is way too much to a locale in Ireland!

Patrick Hogan is the 60 year old head of the family and is an agricultural laborer. He cannot read or write, but he speaks Irish and English. His wife Ellen is 58 - she cannot read or write, but she also speaks Irish and English. Their 16 year old son, William, is an agricultural laborer also - he is able to read and write, but he does not speak Irish. This census would suggest he was born about 1885. Perhaps the other children are either away working or have emigrated. Charles is listed by May as born in 1883 - that would make him younger than William - so where is he? Is he away working?

According to the following table, it appears the Hogans have a piggery and a fowl building. So does that mean that they are raising a pig(s) and chickens? Or are these buildings that happen to be on the property they are renting?

The Sweetnams have the most outbuildings - they have a stable, two coach houses, a harness room, 2 cow houses, a calf house, a piggery, a fowl house, a barn and a shed.

And look who our neighbors are according to the House and Building page of the census - our Keohanes! Donovans and Murphys are also familiar families. And Aunt Nellie Keohane told me that she worked for the Sweetnams - they were big farmers in Dunderow according to her.

This townland also had a post office, a pub and a Church of Ireland. There are 14 private dwellings.

On the House and Building Return, the Hogans' private dwelling has 2 outbuildings as we have already seen. The walls are probably made of mud; the roof is likely thatch. There are two rooms with one window in the front of the house. It is a 3rd class dwelling with a family of three living in it. 

Patrick Hogan is renting it from William Sweetnam who has one of the largest houses in this townland - it has 13 or more rooms and 15 windows in the front!! The Sweetnams are Methodists - This is really surprising to me. The other Sweetnams that I found in County Cork are either Church of Ireland or Roman Catholic.

The Sweetnams have 7 children - the oldest is 14 and still going to school. Mr Sweetnam, 44, is a farmer - he and his wife both read and write. Mary Jane Sweetnam, 41, is from Wexford - all their children were born in Cork - the youngest is 3 months old.

The 1891 Guy's cork Almanac had not listed any Sweetnams in Dunderrow. So the family has moved into Dunderrow in the last 10 years.

We will talk about the Keohanes a little later.

The next Irish Census available online is 1911. Ellen (Pierce Cooney) Hogan, now 69, is still living in Horsehill Mor North, but now she is widowed. None of her children are listed - her 23 year old nephew Patrick Hogan now lives with her. Ellen is the head of the family; Patrick is a farm servant - he is single and is able to read and write.

Ellen is listed as living in house 14 - I wonder if this is the same house she was in 10 years ago? It has the two rooms, but now has two windows in front. It still has mud walls, thatched roof - 3rd class building. She is still renting from William Sweetnam who has 13 windows in the front of his 24 room home!

In the 1913 Guy's Almanac Cork, William Sweetnam is listed as a shopkeeper and seedsman. He resides in Dunderrow House - this explains the size of the house - he is gentry.

Ellen Pierce died sometime after 1911 ……...
