Wondering if the place was Monagea (Monagay) Co Limerick?

I have seen McCanea used as a surname .

Was thinking perhaps it could be spelt McKanea or McKane ?

It also could be McCean or McKean or just plain "Crean"

My Great grandfather John Joseph Quaid was born in Crean , Limerick in 1869

=================================================

Do you have their marriage certificate or information ?? Do you know the parents names for Timothy and Ann ??

Sorry I cant be of more help at this time:(

Hi.  I have a copy of Tim(othy) Sullivan's marriage cert at last.  It names his father as Pat(rick) Sullivan, Stone Cutter.  Timothy was full age when he married in 1878, and the 1901 census shows him as aged 43, so I'd say timothy was born c1857 / 1858.

I believe I've narrowed his baptism down to 2 possibilities:

1. 1857 in the parish of Knockainy[/color] & Patrickswell
2. 1857 in the parish of Ballyagran

Could Knockainy in any way be confused with Mccanea? McKainy?

Unfortunately, as the baptism records very rarely record the fathers occupation, I've no way of knowing which entry could be the correct one.

My Sullivan's are a bit before yours:( This in Marriage cert I have for mine:

I found this record for a possible match to my William Quain:

Griffiths Valuation Record Information Tenant Family Name 1 QUAIN Forename 1 WILLIAM Landlord Family Name 2 Common Forename 2 Location County LIMERICK Barony SMALLCOUNTY Union CROOM Parish FEDAMORE Townland CARNANE Place Name CARNANE Place Type TOWNLAND Publication Details Position on Page 63 Printing Date 1851 Act 9&10 Sheet Number 22 Map Reference 25

If you note the Townland mentioned is "Carnane" in Croom Parish. Perhaps this is the name you are also looking for??
