Francis CAROLAN was baptised at Sacred Heart Church, Clones 30 Mar 1909
He was the son of Francis CAROLAN and Margaret SMYTH
His father Francis was born 1879 in Doones (that's what it looks like!!) in Lisnaskea, Fermanagh, son of Bernard CARROLL and Mary Anne LYNCH
Somewhere along the line the name changed from CARROLL to CAROLAN.
This is my first attempt at tracing this Irish line and I am uncertain as to what resources are available.
I would be grateful for any help to get me started.
Thanks

Seeking info on the Family of Johanna Carroll who married Robert Hodges circa 1882-83. They had two children and were residing in Swellan, County Cavan, in 1887 when my grandfather Samuel Nevin Hodges was born. Robert was the son of Samuel Hodges and Catherine Nevin of Blackrock, County Cork. Johanna emigrated to the United States in the late 1890's after the death of Robert (cause and location of death unknown. Robert had been employed by the railroad in Swellan). Johanna marrreid a Louis Brandt in New Orleans and lived there until her death in 1932. She was born circa 1861. Dath notice listed her former residence as Dublin.

Although Carroll and Carolan have quite separate genealogical orgins, it might be worth mentioning that tracditionally the spelling of the latter was O'CARROLAN - this spelling can still be seen in some very old cemeteries on the Cavan/Meath border, including a beautiful tombstone (now laying flat) of a CARROLAN chieftian and the wife.
When my ancestor came (involuntarily) to the penal colony of NSW in 1820, the British authorities listed him as CARROLL, when his name was clearly CAR(R)OLAN.

Hi, I may have information about Carolans from Lisnaskea and I think it may be the ones you're talking about. I know this post is old but if you could get in touch with me it would be greatly appreciated.

Irish Family History Foundation have transcribed the Townland of Francis Carroll as "Dooros", Dooross is a Townland in Aghalurcher, in the Registration District of Lisnaskea. Bernard Carroll is described as a Labourer. Mother Mary Anne Lynch. Birth dated as 29 Jul 1879, registered on 4 Aug 1879. As his father was a labourer it's likely he may have moved around the area as work was available.
Also found a Hugh Carol born 27 Jan 1884 at Loughgare, registration district Rosslea, Fermanagh, same parents also stated one of a set of twins born at 9am. Other twin is Mary Anne Carrol all parents and other details are the same, father still shown as a Labourer.
I have a Clones Marriage for Bernard Carolan to Mary Anne Lynch registered Oct - Dec 1878, Vol3, page 139 in the register. I suspect this is where the name change happened.
I believe this is the family in 1901 Census surname given as Carlin here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Fermanagh/Coolnamarrow/Loughgare/1361850/
1911 census here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Fermanagh/Coolnamarrow/Loughgare/513624/
Note the "loughgare" location is common to Hugh & Mary Anne Carol births and both Census.

Wow, Thank you! That information really is amazing. Mary ann carol (her name was actually carolan - the spelling doesn't really matter though) is my great great grandmother and we've been trying to find more information about her. What is the website you got this information off and especially the time!
-
Also this is definitley them as my grandmother talks about her granny having a twin brother called hugh!

BMD info from: http://www.rootsireland.ie/ & http://www.findmypast.co.uk/ (both are subscription sites).
Census information from the blue highlighted links.
Further to that: Dooross Townland in Aghalurcher Parish (South of Lisnaskea) is on the Parish border with Galloon Parish. Loughgare is within Coolnasilla Townland (just North of Ballagh crossroads). The two locations are only a couple of miles apart, so probable there are other family in the same area.
Marriage for Bernard Carolan to Mary Anne Lynch on 1 Nov 1878 at Newtownbutler RC Chapel. Bernards address given as Lisnaghellidy (Lisnashillida), Newtownbutler, occupation Shoemaker, age Full (over 21). Father Michael Carolan (Labourer). Mary Anne Address was Lisnaghellidy (Lisnashillida), Newtownbutler, occupation not given, age Full (over 21). Father Luke Lynch (Farmer). Witnesses were Hugh Carolan & Sarah Anne Carolan.
Best I can do, hope it's of use

Sorry Re previous post on the location Loughgare it is South of Coolnasilla look Here: http://www.fermanaghroots.com/wiki/index.php?title=Loughgare click on the "Loughgare" name below the magnifying glass image on the right of the page and it will take you to a map showing location of the Townland.

I'm sure this is one of your family too: http://www.igp-web.com/IGPArchives/ire/fermanagh/photos/tombstones/fermanagh-drumswords-rc-2/target12.html Given the headstone location at Drumswords Church it may be worth looking for more information there. Loughgare/Loughgar Townland is mentioned.

I am also researching this family as I believe I am connected through Mary Carolan/Carlon who married James Carroll in 1904 at the Sacred Heart chapel at Clones. Mary's father was Michael butthe witness to her marriage was Francis Carolan who I suspect is the same Francis who was married to Margaret Smith/Smyth.
My maiden name is Carroll.
I would be so grateful if anyone here who is connected to this family could contact me.
