· Daniel Kane probably came to Coleraine because Johanna O’Donnell’s brother T. O’Donnell had taken up the present property in Church St. where Dolly lived in August 1862. Daniel Kane then bought it from him in 1870. Also, Johanna had a brother Patrick who was at the wedding in 1870.

Dolly Kane told me she was afraid of Daniel Kane (died 1909) I remember her at the times screwing up her face and turning away which seems to indicate he was a severe man. When Daniel Kane died in 1909 Dolly was 12 years old. |
