Hello G,  I hope your search is going well and that you are making some headway.

Mine is not so good as far as the Brennans are concerned.  I am clutching at straws
here, but do you have any information on my Grandmother's half siblings namely
Michael, Edie and Sarah Brennan - children of Michael Brennan and Catherine
Clinton/Miller.

My thoughts are that if I could find any of them it might give some sort of clue as
to the whereabouts of Michael and his eldest son Patrick.  I cannot find a death for
Michael (senior), nor any trace of Patrick.

Please let me know if you have any further information.  J.

Hi G,

As I said, I don't have any further information regarding Michael and Catherine, I don't
even know when he died. 

My challenge has been to try and get further back with him and Bridget, but being as
they were both born in Ireland has left me with nowhere to go - the names Brennan and
Scanlon in Ireland are kind of like Smith and Brown over here.

Best of luck with your search.  J.

Hello G.

Now that you sound really happy, I feel sure that you'll soon feel very let down again.
I myself have not been able to get back any further than Michael and Bridget, and being
as Bridget died young and Catherine (my Grandmother), died when my Mother was only
thirteen, not much information has been passed down at all.

The only Vincent that I found any information on was the younger Vincent, Catherine's son.
I found that he was killed during WW1 at Passchendaele and that his name appears on the
Memorial at the Tyne Cot cemetery.

I don't even have any photographs to speak of as they all seemingly, were lost.  I'm really
sorry that I can't help you any further, I wish I could.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly and best of luck with your search.  J.

Hi, new on here.
The Michael Brennan and Bridget Scanlon you refer to are my Great Grandparents.  Bridget died
in June 1896, the children Patrick, Mary Ellen, Winifred, Bridget and Catherine are all their
children.
On the 1901 census Vincent and his sister Mary are listed as Brennans simply because their
Mother was living with Michael.  He was stated as being a beer seller because the address where
they were living was actually a pub.
On the 1911 census, Vincent and Mary are down as Miller as it seems Michael is no longer alive.
Kate is the Catherine listed on the 1901, she is my Grandmother.
I would say that the three children on the 1911, Edie, Sarah and Michael are the children of
Michael and Catherine.
