10th May 1854, Lusmagh Parish Co Offaly

rootsireland has the mother's name as Marilda (sic) McCormack.
I think the sponsor is Bridget Reddish (Reddich?)
I wonder is the priest confused though, as there is a Laurence Egan (also of Lusmagh) marriage in 1853 to an Anne Bennett.
All the other Egan baptisms in Lusmagh 1849 to 1859 are to Laurence Egan and Anne Bennett.

Was she their only child?

Thank you, Dublin1850 and Hallmark. Anne is my g grandmother and I have just been unable to get beyond her father Laurence. I had noted a marriage to Anne Bennett but just didn't equate it to the baptism entry I agree perhaps there may have been a confusion. Next step finding the birth entry. Hallmark I have not found other siblings as yet as did not have mothers name.
Regards to both

Looks like Matilda. 3rd letter is like t in 'daughter'.
Yes to Reddish.

Agree
-
Not McCormack, too short at any rate.
McG? ? ? ?
I want four ? not a smiley

I agree more or less with RootsIreland. However I may have been influenced by Roots Ireland.
I looked on NLI site. Something odd. When I put the year 1854 in I got page for 1845 and had to scroll several pages to find 1854. ??? https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0337

Agree! Mc G
So far so good! ;D

Happens quite often. You can report it.

Thanks, Sinann. I went to help page and found out how to contact.

Hi
OK Sinann, what about the Limerick surname McGlone. Think I see ....one at the end of the surname.
Cheers
-
Now that somebody has posted a suggestion...
I see Matilda McGrane
-
I never heard of either of those surnames which is why I didn't go beyond McG
I just felt it wasn't McGuire but couldn't see anything I was familiar with.
Think I'd be more inclined towards McGrane, not sure I can see an L.

Was waiting for you to post what you thought it was.... ;D

hallmark,
I did think Matilda for first name and last three letters in surname o n e.
Fact that I'm partially sighted really does not help. You are always so helpful,much appreciated.

I think your Ann Bennett may have been my Mary Bennett' s sister.
Mary was born 1833, parents William and Catherine.
I have several Egans acting as sponsers to my Keoghs in Lusmagh and I thiink my great ,great grandfather married a Bridget Egan.

Lola5,
Thank you for posting.
The Bennett line is a new one to me so early days,this is what I have so far but still subject to confirmation.
My g grandmother, Anne Egan 1854 was the daughter of Laurence Egan,1836 (to whom I have a confirmed DNA link) and Anne Bennett 1833 of Lusmagh. I'm still no further on with finding AE's birth record though should you come across her. She may even have been a sponsor for one of your family baptisms.
At this stage of my research I think that AB's parents were Martin Bennett and Esther Sullivan and that she had at least two sisters,Mary 1828 and Hanoria 1836.
I will most certainly investigate the other Bennett couple and family for the purpose of clarification one way or another.
Always happy to help if I can.
Best wishes,
Scatty

Hi,
Oct 30th 1853 marriage of Laurence Egan to Ann Bennett present John Egan and Bridget?
Feb 3rd 1853 marriage of Thomas Keogh to Mary Bennett( bap 1833) present Edward Shiels and Anne Bennett.
So your Anne Bennett does not seem to be my Mary,s sister as different birthdate but possibly a cousin?
I have come across your Anne Egan but mislaid the bit of paper i wrote latest stuff on .
Been going through all the Lusmagh parish registers hoping to find earlier marraiges .
Does anyone know where you can find Lusmagh marriages before 1829?
Was Laurence Egan's fathe the poet Edward Egan?
An Ann Egan married a Thomas Larkin july 26th 1838.
Egans,, Larkins, Keoghs and Quirkes all connected families.
