John Francis Kilcoyne 
John Francis was born on September 20th, 1904 in Portsmouth, Scioto, Ohio, USA.1 John Francis' father was Patrick William Kilcoyne and his mother was Rosa Corrigan. His paternal grandparents were Thomas Kilcoyne and Anne KANE; his maternal grandparents were Thomas Corrigan and Elizabeth FAY. He had three brothers and three sisters, named William Edward, Pat, Harry Eugene, Mary Elizabeth or Bessie, Marguerite Rose and Charlotte Anna. He was the second youngest of the seven children. He died at the age of 41 on September 3rd, 1946 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA. He was buried on September 4th, 1946 in Calvary Cemetery, Lexington, Fayette, Kentucky.2 1 General Notes

Thanks, Joyce. I will look forward to hearing whatever
you find out. Your remark about his father's
birthplace prompted me to go back to some information
that I had received from Ann Hunt, another Kilcoyne
researcher. In the quote below, she is referring to
the family of the older Kilcoyne generation, the
father of Patrick, Thomas, and Edward:
"
Hi Julie,
Found Thomas Kilcoyne in 1870 census, West Virginia,
Harrison County, Simpson TWP, Page 234 or Ancestry.com
image #325. Shows Ann, Patrick and John.
[Census record shows Thomas(a rr laborer, was age 51,
Ann was 37, Patrick was 4 and born in D.C., John was 3
and born in PA."
Putting two and two together, it looks as though your
John Kilcoyne is the son of the 3-year-old JOHN
Kilcoyne in that census , rather than of Patrick
Kilcoyne. But hopefully the obituary will make it
clearer. If he does turn out to be the son of John,
you may want to get in touch with Ann Hunt, who is
very zealous in researching the Kilcoynes. I myself
am only connected through Patrick's wife Rosa
Corrigan, who is my great grandfather's sister but
could not resist learning more about the Kilcoynes,
partly because I really like the sound of that
surname.
This is the sort of puzzle that makes genealogy so
interesting!
Sincerely,
Julie
