I am searching for information on my great-grandparents, Michael Hanahoe and Ellen (nee Coyne) Hanahoe. I have baptism records of an unknown source for both. They were baptized in the Parish of Backs, Diocese of Killala.

Michael was born to Anthony and Bridget (nee Joyce) Hanahoe on 9/25/1863. His godparents were Anthony and M.Ferguson (Ellen's grandparents).

Ellen was born to Michael and Mary (nee Ferguson) Coyne on 10/20/1861. Her godparents were Patrick Walsh and Winefred Coyne.

Ellen had 9 sisters and one brother. I know the names of some - Patrick (the only sibling to stay in Ireland that we know of), Elizabeth, Winnie, Nora, Mary, Margaret, Bridget, Anna. Not sure of others.

Ellen and Michael came to the US from County Mayo between 1883 1886. I do not think that they came together. I do not believe that they were married yet when they came over. They were neighbors in Co Mayo from what one relative remembers.

If anyone can provide and further details, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Eileen
