Healy, John

John appears on the 1911 Census of Ireland residing at house #2 in Lissanly, Cloyne, East County Cork: Healy John 36 Male.

** N.B. As an aside: With regard to the marriage of David Dorgan and Elizabeth Ahern:

The marriage between Elizabeth Ahern and David Dorgan was arranged. Their parents were farmers with adjoining properties, the Dorgan property in Carrigkilter and the Ahern property in Ballybraher.

When Elizabeth Ahern and David Dorgan did not have their own children they brought to their farm Margaret Grahame, the niece of Elizabeth Ahearne, and John Healy, the nephew of David Dorgan.

The marriage of Margaret Grahame and John Healy was also arranged. They were married before they went to live with Elizabeth Ahearne and David Dorgan.

These arrranged marriages kept the properties of Carrigkilter and Ballybraher in the family until the present day. Ironically, none of the five children of Margaret Grahame and John Healy married and none had any children!

The ancestral Dorgan property at Carrigkilter has been sold twice (so far as I can tell). Only the ancestral Ahern property at Ballybraher remains which has extensive land holdings. Apparently the O’Brien family now owns these lands.
