meehan family

[pet50ite]

Hi anne jane,
This probably has nothing to do with your Meehans but I thought, just in case, I should include it.
One of my Duffy's sisters married a John Meehan in Dublin in 1885. On the marriage certificate it lists the father as Cornelius Meehan, book keeper. On the 1901 census my ancestor's sister, Catherine, is listed as a widow.
It seems highly unlikely that this Meehan is related to your Meehans but as every little helps, if only to exclude, I thought I should send you the details.

I have just come across this request.  Here is a John Meehan registered in Enniskillen
Meehan, John
 County:FermanaghParish:Enniskillen
 Location:T/Enniskillen/Dame St.
I have had trouble with internet connection today, but got this from [b]Re: Meehans in Co. Fermanagh (1848-1864) Griffith's[/b]
There was also a James in Enniskillen in the same list.
If I come across any more information, I may contact you again.
You mention an Irish genealogy site.  Nobody has replied RootsIreland, but it is difficult to use.
