Bridget Diskin emigrated to America ~ 1854 with ? sister and ? brother. Her parents James Disken and Margaret (nee Cavaney) remained in Ireland with their youngest daughter Margaret who married James Kirrane.
In 1901, James and Margaret Kirrane had 4 children, Thomas (age 10), Patrick, (age 5), Mary (age 7) and Ellen (age 10 months). They lived with her parents, James and Margaret Diskin at Milltown, Dunmore, Parish Addergoole, in the Townland of Cormeelick South in the Poor Law Union of Tuam, Galway North.
It also appears that James and Margaret Diskin lived proximate to Michael Diskin and Patrick Diskin.
If anyone has any information, I feel hopeful that I may be able to make a connection!
Kind regards

Hello, You might have interests in a local Cemetery, Kilclooney. There are several Diskin's and Kirrane's listed there. I thought item 14 on this link in particular. Dillonbrook looks to be across the road from Cormeelick South.

The earliest church records are from 1858 so it's difficult to get further back. Addergoole parish is now known as Milltown. Your family names seem to be still in the area.
Best wishes
