The Heffernan ClanThe Heffernans came originally from Bilboa (pronounced Bilbow), Co:
Limerick, Ireland. The family was raised in 49 Clare Street, Limerick.
This is the family tree of James Heffernan and his wife Kathrine nee
Carr and their nine children. Their youngest child Bridget nee Heffernan(1905-1983)
married a James Crowley (1903-1980) and raised a family
in Cork. The unusual thing is that in a previous generation Bridget
nee Heffernans Aunt Bridget nee Carr also married a James Crowley (no
relation). They emigrated to America and were never heard of again.
This makes two James and Bridget Crowleys in two generations! My name
is Don Crowley. My grandmother
was Bridget nee Heffernan. If you have any new information or corrections
please let me know. I'd love to hear from you. James Heffernan was a tailor who died young (in his fourties). After his death they became a poor family of mixed fortunes. One of his grandchildren (Eamonn Ryan) went on to become amateur welterweight boxing champion of Ireland. This family tree is not complete. There is also a small photo album available. The listings may not be in cronological order yet. There is also a 1901 census recording of the family when they still lived at Bilboa.
