Hi Noel,
Thank you for the contact on my Brennan family...................
 
I haven't seen the website you mentioned, going to look into it. I have just about given up on trying to find anything this family.
The information you found is very interesting,  the two entries for a Margaret Brennan might be that the first child named Margaret died and maybe they named a second child Margaret three years later ?.  Many thanks Aileen....... :D

Hi,
        Love the name 'twistedbranches'. 

        Any chance some of your Brennans came to the US, particularly Schuykill Co., Pennsylvania?
This area was heavy with coalminers. My Muldowneys came from Castlecomer, also with many other names of the area, some of them came pre-the famine era.  I know, from my research, the hills of Schuylkill Co. were alive with plenty of Co. Kilkenny names.  I have some Brennan names in my maternal grandmother's tree.  If you need to search for any family members in the US, this would be the area to start with.

McALLISTER in Co. Antrim
MULDOWNEY in Co. Kilkenny
KEARNEY in Co. Louth
