Quinnin (other variations) Family

[ro6810]

I have a Margaret Quinenan(sometimes Queenan) who married Patrick Coen in my family tree.  Margaret is in the 1901 Irish census married to Patrick Coen and living in Finisklin, County Sligo.   From her age in the census record, she was born around 1855.   Her sons, Patrick and Bartholomew, and daughter, Delia, came to Philadelphia.  I also live in Philadelphia.  I have been told Margaret had a bother, Martin, who lived in New Jersey.

The name was almost certainly Queenan, I am familiar with this family as I looked it up many years ago having a distant connection with the Queenans of Co Sligo who first settled at Newcastle and later the Durham coal fields, whilst I noticed your branch moved to North Shields and spread out from there.

I have never been able to establish if the families were actually related. As Quinan is usually pronounced Queenan it is easy to understand why it was sometimes spelt that way.

I may have been in touch with you in the passed on another board and if not it must have been one of your relations who is doing the same research.

Good luck,

My family is also Queenan from Co, Sligo although I do not yet have specific details.  I have Patrick, born in Sligo (or nearby) in 1814 with father's name also Patrick.  The first official record I have is a marriage certificate in Derby England in 1840 to Mary Howard. They are in the 1841 and 1851 census there with several children.  Then Patrick disappears with no evident death record.  It is believed that he just disappeared as Mary remarried 7 years later. I have good ongoing records, but am looking for the roots in Ireland.  I know there are Queenans in Easky area...but as yet cannot be certain that they are the right ones.
Thanks.

Hi There
Sorry about the delay but unfortunately i only have the one Quinnin in my family and therefore i do not know who her parents or siblings were.
Thank you for information as it may be of some help to me at a later date.
