George Richard Holahan Sr.

George was the son of James Holahan and Ellen Howard. He was born between 1858 and 1862, depending on which source you use, and was said to have been born in Manchester, England. His mother was from Cloneslee, County Laois, Ireland (according to her obituary). I have yet to find where James was born in Ireland, nor am I able to locate a birth or Parish record for George. This is a brick wall that I have been trying to break through for years, so any help or information that I could use to overcome this hurdle would be deeply appreciated!
