Longford / Denniston/Burke
« on: Thursday 27 March 14 16:26 GMT (UK) »
Seeking information on my mystery relative, Michael Denniston. Born about 1845, died 1905. Cannot find any record of him other than his death certificate. When in Ireland I met several Dennistons in Longford who KNEW there wasn't a Michael in their tree. How? It seems a lawyer from Scotland came to Longford 70+ years ago with a bequest for a Michael Denniston of County Longford or his heirs. Every family member when through every piece of paper to no avail! So perhaps there is a branch of Dennistons related to the folks in Longford but from another county? Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Michael married Mary Burke (1854-1934) and lived in Lisnanagh. Though most family records are housed at St. Mary's in Edgeworthstown, information on the baptism for their first child was housed at St. Mary's in Enybegs. Father Early thought this was due to a redrawing of parish lines, but who knows.
