Searching for any relatives or information about the Brackloon Shrule, Co. Mayo Egan's.
Some of the names that are related to the Egan's: Carty or McCarty (Brackloon), Davin (Brackloon), Dooley (Mirehill Headford), Greaney (Ballinapark), Greaney (Headford), Kyne, Crampton (Shrule), Hennelly (Toorard), Garvey (Toorard), Burke (Headford), Connaughton, Tierney (Kilmaine), Green (Galway), Gallagaher, Hughes, Duddy and Egan (Brodella).
I have a family tree going back to Thomas and Mary Egan, both born in the late 1790's.
You can view the first four generations of the family trees of Thomas Egan http://www.carginsoft.com/shrule/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2 and also of Stephen Carty http://www.carginsoft.com/shrule/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9
Thanks for any additional help, Mike.

Hello Mike,
My Mother was a Hennelly i believe my GGGrandad Patrick Heneley as he spelt it lots of different variations came from Ireland i believe County Mayo
circa 1819 ? his son Andrew circa 1846 was in Liverpool and married there and there are still his descendants of which i am one in Liverpool.
Best Wishes Trudi..

Trudi,
do you have an additional information that would connect you to the Toorard Hennelly's?
I will be in Ireland in 2 weeks and will be seeing Delia Hennelly Garvey. She is the last of the children of John and Kate (Egan) Hennelly. If you think you might be related to them, let me know and maybe I can get some answers for you, from Delia. She may be 92 years old but has a wealth of information.

Mike thanks for your reply i have only just started to research my GGGrandad Patrick Hennelly and GGrandad Andrew you see the family in Liverpool do not know either even to the extent of where exactly they came from sorry i have no facts for you.I only have an old photo which my late Uncle Richard Hennelly had i think it must be a Hennelly with wife and two girls and a boy it is so frustrating when you cannot place them. Thanks for your interest.
Best Wishes Trudi..

Hi Trudi,
I searched the info on Shrule.com and came up with a few Patrick Hennelly's and one Andrew but that Andrew had the wrong parents. If you go on http://www.shrule.com/index.php go down the left side and click "Ancestor Search", type in just "Hennelly", all the Hennelly information will come up in various categories. Look through that and see if anything adds up for you.
The picture is John Hennelly, seated to the left and three of his children surround him. Patrick, to the left, Nora, behind him and Mary, to the right. Any of these people have any resemblance to your family?

Mike thanks for the Hennelly Photo, i think i can see some likeness in the photo of John Hennelly and the photo i have i think it could be maybe Andrew Hennelly as they look to be dressed Victorian Style Andrew was down as age 31 at his wedding in 1877 in Liverpool and Patrick Heneley was down as a Farmer,the shape of the ladies faces are like the Hennelly,s my Mother included. I also have Moran Lynch and Cairns in my Ancestry too

That pictures was taken, probably, in the late 1920's or early 1930's. John Hennelly, I'm guessing, was born in the late 1870's or early 1880's. I haven't been able to pinpoint his birthday yet but I do know that he was a couple of years older that Kate Egan, his wife.

Just on the offchance: I'm searching for the Irish origins of my Egan ancestors, who turned up in Westminster in the early years of the nineteenth century. My gg grandfather was George Egan (b. Westminster 1837), the youngest son of James & Mary Egan. James was a builder, possibly the son of a Frederick Egan (if Irish naming patterns are anything to go by), but he must have died soon after George's birth, because Mary remarried - a Charles O'Donnell. Mary put 'Ireland' as her birthplace on the 1841 and 1861 censuses, and 'Ireland' is put as her origin in the St James Westminster Workhouse records. (whereas her sons are charged to the parish because their father, James Egan, had paid rates and taxes there). But on the 1861 census, there are two possible Mary O'Donnells in Westminster, both of whom put their birthplace down as 'Mayo'. Does any of this ring possible bells with your Egan research?
-
No, none of your information seems to match up. My G-grandfather is rumored to have had a brother, William and most likely would have been born in the 1830's but I have never come across any information of his existence. As far as I know, we have no connection to any Egan's in England. My G-grandfather would be rolling in his grave, if he knew any of his children had anything to do with the English. :)
-
Thanks, anyway! Good luck with your tracing of them.

My grandmother was Rose Gilsenan Hennelly and my Grandfather Patrick Hennelly. They had five children and moved to Upstate NY in or around 1958.

I just stumbled upon this message bored while researching for a hopeful trip to Ireland next fall.

Which means, you are most likely the child of either John or Patrick. I talk to your Aunt Mary all the time.
If you are planning to visit the Toorard, Co. Mayo area and you aren't sure of any contacts over there, e-mail me and I can set you up with a bunch of your relatives. I'm sure Delia would love to meet one of her brothers grandchildren.

Hope to hear from you, Mike.

Hi Mike the cottage I live in im told is called Egans cottage we moved here in 2000 and it was a derelict cottage which used to be thatched and the roof had fallen in. We didn’t knock it we wanted to retain its character so restored it and extended. We found the old door key and some shoes in the wall with old bottles and what looks like part of a bedpost. Would love to see a picture of the Egans

Welcome to RootsChat, MMartine :)
Unfortunately Shrule Egan (the OP) hasn't been online here since August 2011. If he has the same e-mail address he registered with on RootsChat and still has notifications for replies turned on, then he should receive an e-mail to tell him of your posts.
Good luck! ;D
