1) In the second Ulster Historical Foundation (UHF) report, UHF tried to locate possible sibling baptism records for Annie. This is what was found:
UHF states that it is while it is uncertain if this is Annie's family, the fact that two are born in Crebilly (aka Craigbilly) and some names that were mentioned in previous documents ( Mary, Martha) "seem to indicate that this is her family."
2) The family history mentions the fact that the O'Kanes lived on a large estate in Northern Ireland. UHF reconfirms this by mentioning that Annie's father, James, was listed as a tenant farmer in Crebilly. They then checked the Valuation Revision Books to track "for information about the tenancy of the
farm at Crebilly which your ancestral family occupied….for the years 1864-1929." This turned out to be most informative as I was able to look up those records online and see where they got there information. However, there was a mistake made which I caught because those records were online.
In the report, UHF gave the tenants for the property #7 in Crebilly (Craigbilly) as follows:

UHF mentions a William McKane found located at property # 12 in Crebilly and note that in 1920 his name is corrected to William Kane.
3) And last, the 1901 Ireland Census was searched for the Crebilly area where a James O'Kane family was located. James is a widower, living with his children and uncle Bernard. UHF noted that James is listed as the head of the family and farms the property but that Bernard is the tenant according to the Valuation Revision Books. They indicate that James and Bernard were probably Annie's brothers. Also, that on the 1901 census, the surname Kane has been changed to O'Kane.
On the 1911 Irish census, both James and Bernard are deceased and that James' daughter Minnie is married to John Laverty, who is now listed as the head of the house. Minnie's younger siblings are living with them in the house.
UHF ends with a mention of William Kane and that he might be a possible sibling of Annie's.
With that, the report ended.
Using both of reports created a wealth of information and provided a clearer picture of Annie's family. Hopefully as we expand on the family on what we know, we will be able to connect to other extended family members.
