Bryan McCaffrey was born around 1796. His civil death record states his age as 72, in 1968. His son Michael was the informant. He married Sarah. She died in 1880. Bryan died in 1868.
The Briney McCaffrey family still live in the Clogher region. One can only assume it is the same family line. No other Bryan/Brian McCaffrey has been registered in the civil records (births, marriages, or deaths) since 1868. A derivative of the name is ‘Bernard’. Their son Michael lived in Ballywholan, yet their other son Patrick appears to have lived in Shanco.
