I am seeking information about the above.  He was born on 6.6.1882 the fourth child of Thomas Bohan and Ellen Strafford in Mountmellick, Co. Loais.  I have found him on the 1911 census living in Sallybrook, Mountmellick with his eldest sister Catherine (Kate) and her two sons and a younger brother William but after that the trail goes cold.  I have been unable to find a marriage or a death and would appreciate any help you can give.

  • Hi Patrick  . . . 

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . .  

    Our professional researchers .  . appear to be unable to help you with your query . . and that is understandable . . 

    Where people go to . . travel away to . . emigrate to . . is any ones guess . . . BUT . . maybe we can help . .  . 

    You headline " JAMES Bohan " as your query . . . 1911 Census . . born 1882 . . Sallybrook, Mountmellick

    When I view the 1911 census . . for that entry . . there is NO indication of a JAMES Bohan

    You found ...Thomas (25) and William (23) . . in the house with their married Sister ??? Katie Madden  + two of her children

    Notice that Katie Madden is aged 34 -- a biggish spread ???

    So where is JAMES          . . . ???

    Next I searched " ALL IRELAND " for a James Bohan . . aged 19/20 y.o. . . . 

    There were 15 showed up . . in many varoius Counties . . . which might be your James . . ?? We can only guess . .
