Patrick, his wife and Irish born children all appear in 1851 at Newcastle as visitor's in the household of Andrew Quanan (sic): as many census returns did not give precise details of relationships there is a good chance that Patrick (Andrew) was in the household of his father Andrew.

You need to appreciate that the majority of Sligo emigrants during that period were Irish speaking with only a limited amount of English which would make it difficult for the enumerators to get everything right. Back in Sligo the Anglo Irish enumerators had interpreters to help them complete the forms.

Hi

Yes I once thought that but just pushed that thought aside..


I've found an irish name Cunnane....could this have adapted to Quinnin...???


It has the same phonetic sounds...

Thanks for replying :D

Yes Cunnane is another alternative spelling, a variant form that has survived: there is no Q in the Irish alphabet.

I have been going through some old notes and have these marriages of interest to you which might lead to further clues.

St Andrews Catholic Chapel, Newcastle: marriage registers.
17th July 1850:
Dennis Gallon of Durham son of Patrick and Catherine Gallon of Durham
to
Catherine Costelloe of Wall Knoll daughter of Andrew and Mary Queenan of Wall Knoll
witnessed by: Thomas McMahon of Durham and Mary McGoverin of Mount Pleasant.
NB: The entry suggest Catherine was a widow but the corresponding GRO index gives her name as Catherine Quinan.

Same Church:
5th October 1848:
Michael Fleming of Wall Knoll son of Michael and Mary Fleming of Co Mayo
to
Mary Quinan of Wall Knoll daughter of Andrew Quinan and Mary Gallagher of Wall Knoll
witnessed by: Philip Lynch of and Mary Costello both of Wall Knoll.

I know quite a lot about this family. By 1851 Michael Fleming was widower with no recorded children, but by 1853 he had remarried Ann Burt and they had several children including Sarah Fleming who married James (aka Patrick) Queenan son of Martin at Jarrow in 1875. The only indication of James Queenan's Irish origins is a single Census entry which states he was born Killala, Co Mayo. Interestingly the parish of Easky, Co Sligo overlooks Killala Bay. so the two parishes abut each other, albeit with a long stretch of water in between.

I have lots other notes but you probably have most if not all of them already.

Thank You


I would be very grateful if you could send me everything you have got

I have the 1851 census and I know in 1853 Martin Queenan married Barbara Coyle who was their next door neighboor in Wall Knoll.

Ooh this is getting exciting!

Thank You

Hi there, I hope you get to read this, my great great grand father was martin quinnin, my great grandfather was john Quinnin, my grandfather was james quinnin.
I've recently been doing some research into the family name myself.

the name Quinnin has a few variations but all the Quinnin's are all the same family.


Please feel free to contact me further as I may be able to help you a little.
