trying to find a maiden name for Denis Farnan wife Ellen, they married circa 1895-7 they had a child Mary Ellen born Dublin 1906.

Any Farnan family info would be appreciated especially regs
 NICHOLAS D-O-B 1809-1888
 OR HIS WIFE MAIDEN NAME..MARGARET D-O-B 1818 -1881.
 If any one else researching the Farnan family, I have some research material available.

Are you sure Mary Ellen was born in Dublin ?

There's an 1906 birth of a Mary Ellen Farnan on the BMD Index listed in Rathdrum ... Co. Wicklow

Best way to start the search might be with a cert for her, to confirm mother's maiden name

[shanew147]

they certainly moved around - this looks like the family in Co. Clare in 1911, Denis and Ellen born Co. Kilkenny, Mary Ellen listed as born Dublin. Married 15 years, 3 children born, just the Mary Ellen still alive.

So marriage could possibly be Co. Kilkenny, Dublin or anywhere in between...

think I was looking at the wrong Mary Ellen birth - this one in 1905 might fit better :

  Name : Mary Ellen Farnan
  Event Type : Birth
  Quarter and Year : Apr-Jun 1905
  Registration District : Dublin North
  Volume : 2 / Page : 551

the best fit for the marriage on the BMD Index I'm seeing is one in 1898 in Castlecomer district, which is the correct one for Ballyragget ... unfortunately at least two Ellens on the same page...

  Name: Denis Farnan
  Event Type : Marriage
  Quarter and Year : Oct-Dec 1898
  Registration District : Castlecomer
  Volume :  3 / Page  : 313

Ellen White, Ellen Phelan both have the same references as Denis..

thanks shanew ive a lot of info on the family, I was finding Denis hard to pin down, I knew about him in Clare, as you say he seems to have moved around..he had anther brother James I believe who was in Dublin on 1911 census he may have been visiting.

The other members f family I believe to be Denis's siblings are.

Thomas  d-o-b circa 1850s....think Thomas had daughter Bridget who married john doran 1896.

John 1855-1934 married kate downey..they had 8 children.

Nicholas d-o-b 1861-1931..i believe had a daughter Margaret .who died young 24

Mary d-o-b 1857-1881

Patrick d-o-b.??

William.?

Christopher??
 
Kieran??

wondering will this info help anyone..??

could you tell me who denis father is on that cert shane?..I seem to recall a phelan link somewhere in my paperwork.
I can get mary ellens birth cert that will clear up her mother name and marriage cert.

that's the index record - you need marriage cert to see the rest of the details

looking for some help with a.
 NICHOLAS FARNAN born circa 1809-died 1888. Ballyraggert Kilkenny,married to a
MARGARET ? 1818-died 1881..dont know Margarets maiden name..the marriages all took place in the Knockroe/Castelcomer area of Kilkenny, the family seems to have lived all their lives in Ballyraggert..though some later emigrated to U.S mid to late 1800s.

 I believe Nicholas had a least 2 brother and 1 sister,
 JOHN born circa 1806
 Bridget 1804 -1884
 Thomas ??

 Id be interested in NICHOLAS'S marriage details if possible, I believe I have his children's details/records.
 any other details regards Nicholas or Thomas would be appreciated .
 the search hasn't been made easy as there were several children named after grandfathers fathers
 and uncles down through the generations, all thrown in with 2nd marriages.
