Patrick married Isabella Kenner on or about 1840. They were both born in County Cavan which is in the border region between the North and South of Ireland. They had at least 4 children during their marriage and lived with 2 of their adult children (Ellen & Joseph) in the home on Boyd's Row in County Armagh in 1901. After Patrick's death in the same year, Isabella continued to live in the same home until her death in 1907.
