Kilkenny / Re: Lannan Family
« on: Tuesday 29 August 17 05:13 BST (UK) »
Hi, hope my info was of use to you. There are many different ways of spelling Lannan /Lennon, I am an "an", I agree that researchin Irish relatives is hard work, mainly because all records held in Dublin were Idestroyed by fire, so most will come from other sources such as parish records, Griffith Valuation. I am in a similar situation to you, I know that most of the Lannan family from Wexford /Kilkenny /Carlow are related but having a problem working out siblings , cousins, aunts and uncles etc. Another site that may be useful to you is ireland.com, one of their researchers has taken photos of old gravestones and I have picked up a bit from there.
Clare is quite a way from Kilkenny etc, but remember it is not a very large island, also that many people were taken from the north to work on farms in the south (I cant think of the name that was given to these forced moves atm).
Another thing to remember is that the traditional naming of children was that they were named after grandparents, then parents, which is why there are so many similar names in a family!
I have most of my Lannan family on Ancestry.com, my ggpa came to Australia from Ireland, his brother went to Canada which is where most of the USA /Canada Lannan family comes from. From what I know of my ggpa he was a strong supporter of the IRA, and I suspect that the family migrated to other countries to avoid the law! Many of them were listed in police records but haven't followed that up yet. If you would like to see my site on Ancestry.com, send me your email address and I'll send you an invite. I'mvery happy to share information, there is one chap I have had contact with who claims he has traced Lannan back to the 1100's, but won't share, grrr! Keep in touch!
Regards, Shelley Lannan Clark
Just had another thought, have you been in touch with Bernie Lannan, he is in the USA and has quite a bit of info about Lannan family there.

Yes, you are on the right track. I am not sure how Phillip fits in,possibly a cousin, I know my gfather was a wild Irish lad with very strong opinions! I am sure that the Lannan family were IRA. Will investigate further and re contact you. I have also been told of the Leonard connection by a chap who said he had researched Lannan back to 1180s.Regards Shelley

Ok! Cool, much of my family's history is in Tassie. My ggma was Ellen Barnes daughter of Captain Francis Bygrove Barnes. I have spent a lot of time in Tassie with my g parents and still have a cousin living in Hobart. If you would like to see my family sites on Ancestry.com send me your email address and I will send you an invite. How are you connected to the family?
I am always happy to share family info. There is quite a bit on my ancestry.com site and also on My Heritage.com, but the ancestry site is the best. Maybe you can fill in some of my gaps too.
Cheers, Shelley

Conahy, you are an angel!! All I have to do now is find the connection. I will start on Wednesday as I am going away for a few days....it's Friday here.
888shelley I found Fr John FARRELL in vol 3 of Rev William Carrigans "History and Antiquities of Diocese of Ossory" p477. "Rev John FARRELL a native of Ballyragget was ordained Feb 23rd 1771. On his return from his studies on the continent, he served as Curate in Freshford, whence after seven years, he was collated to Muckalee Nov 20th 1783. At first he lived at Kyleathaggarth; he afterwards lived at the old church of Muckalee in a house which he himself had built there. He was deprived of the parish in 1798, after which he served for a time as curate in Ballyragget. He died very old, about 1825 and is buried with his friends in Donoughmore" Unfortunately this does not give us his relationship to those with whom he is buried"with his friends" is very vague. conahy

Apart from these, earlier records are very scarce unfortunately. Good luck with your search.Thanks again for all your help and I will follow all the leads you have given.conahy

Kilkenny / Re: Lannan Family
« on: Friday 28 June 13 23:05 BST (UK) »888shelleyHave you checked "Griffiths Valuation" available online? Its dated 1850 for this area. Swiftsheath was part of Coolcraheen parish at that time according to the maps (later became part of Conahy parish). There is a Martin Farrell in Swiftsheath, a tenant of Godwin Swift. Martin Farrell himself also has a subtenant listed. Patrick Lannan and Michael Lannan each have separate holdings in Swiftsheath also. I find the maps quite awkward to handle but very worthwhile if you have enough patienceYes I already have that info thanks Conahy! Is there any mention of siblings for both Martin Lannan and Martin Farrell, unfortunately they both married ladies with the same name of Anastasia, one was Griffen and the other was Breen/Brenan. Also siblings of the previous generation, parents Patrick andCatherine(Maher) and Martin Farrell snr?
