Cloyne Branch:
Michael Dorgan and Johanna Garde
Michael Dorgan, a son of Patrick Dargan / Dorgan and Johanna / Anne Flynn of the Carrigkilter family, married Johanna Garde in Cloyne on 26 January 1869.
Their marriage established the documented Cloyne branch and connects the earlier Carrigkilter family with the later Rock Street household recorded in the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
Michael and Johanna’s son Patrick Dorgan, born on 19 November 1870, later married Johanna Millerick and continued the Cloyne branch into another generation.
This Cloyne family should remain distinct from the Rhode Island branch formed by Michael’s brother Patrick J. Dorgan and Mary Catherine Hartnett.
Related narrative: Michael Dorgan and Johanna Garde of Cloyne
Evidence status: Confirmed marriage and parent-link evidence
Catholic marriage register, 26 Jan 1869, Cloyne. Witnesses: Thomas Smiddy, Eliza/Elizabeth Garde.
Why it matters: confirms Michael as a son of Patrick Dorgan and Johanna Flynn, and connects the Carrigkilter family to the Garde and Cloyne parish-register network.
Johanna Garde Dorgan household; Patrick Dorgan
Evidence status: Confirmed census and household evidence
House 17, Rock Street, Cloyne. Patrick Dorgan (son of Michael and Johanna, grandson of the Carrigkilter Patrick) was listed as a single farmer, age 29, in the household of his widowed mother Johanna, a vintner and grocer. Also in the household: Mary Eliza Dorgan, Helena Dorgan, and cousin David Dorgan.
Why it matters: separates this younger Patrick Dorgan of Cloyne from the earlier Patrick Dargan/Dorgan of Carrigkilter in the 1853 Griffith's Valuation, and connects the Carrigkilter line to the later Cloyne household and business setting.
Johanna Garde Dorgan household; Patrick Dorgan
Evidence status: Confirmed census and household evidence
Johanna Garde Dorgan, widow of Michael, mother of Patrick Dorgan (born 19 Nov 1870, who later married Johanna Millerick).
Why it matters: continues the Cloyne branch after the 1901 household and keeps the younger Patrick Dorgan of Cloyne distinct from the 1853 Carrigkilter Patrick.
