Leahy Family

Pat's father, Pa, also known as Gagan to Aoife and Niamh, was the only male of his family to marry and have children, only one of them being a boy, Pat. Pa was the youngest of his family and so we currently have very little information about the Leahy side of the family.

Information below was gathered from the Baptismal records in Knockaney Parish, Co Limerick on 30/6/2012 hence the dates given for the older Halpins and Leahys are Baptismal dates. Fr Holmes, Parish Priest Knockaney, tells me that in those days children were usually baptised within a day or two of birth.
