Hi there.

I have a few books on Ballina and have the 1936 Electors List mentioning the Hennigan family still living in The Quay (Quignalecka) Ballina. 
Names Peter, Eveleen, Michael, Mary, Henry Eileen, Anne.  There is a passage about Patrick and his DCM in 'Dear Old Ballina' which I also have. and could post if you do not have it.   What information are you interested in? 

Regards

Hi Lep,
Have sent a PM with more information.  Always happy to help and very pleased information is of use to you. 

If anyone else is searching for Ballina family I am happy to look up 1901/1911 census, 1856 Griffiths and 1936 Electors Lists for Ballina.  (Note: ages are not included on lists I have access to)

Kind Regards
Marian
