Monaghan / Re: Patrick Brennan - Bridget Rice
« on: Sunday 03 October 10 19:49 BST (UK)  »
 :) Thank you both.

Unfortunately I don't have a marriage certificate yet for James and Anne so at present the only info that I have is from my granpa's Scottish Birth Cert.  I have no idea what townland James came from or when he actually moved to Scotland.

My grand parents both emigrated from Glasgow to New York in the 1920's whereas my father emigrated from NY to Glasgow in the 1950's.  My dad died 3 years ago but never really spoke alot about the Brennan side of the family, other than they came from Monaghan and that apparently his grandpa James came from a big family!

I know that James' brother Patrick also moved to Glasgow and got married here in 1899 to a Mary Harkins.

James died in 1945 and Mary in 1962 they had (as far as I know) five children:

Catherine born Aug 1899 moved to the US (Chicago) but never married

Margaret Anne (Annie) born 1903 also moved to the US and apparently married a US Senator

Alice Maria born Feb 1907 married Bernard Flood in 1933

John James Albert born 1915 died 1941

Irene Eleanor born 1918 died 2002

Monaghan / Patrick Brennan - Bridget Rice
« on: Tuesday 10 August 10 22:16 BST (UK)  »
 :) looking for any help with tracing my family roots in Monaghan.

The only info I have is that my Gt Grandfather James Brennan (born around 1862) married Anne Elizabeth Murphy (b 1872?) in St. Michael's, Annayalla on the 2nd of June 1898.
Shortly after they married they moved to Glasgow, James worked as Tram car driver.  they had two children, Mary Brennan b1900 (later married Peter Morgan) and Patrick John Brennan b 1901 (later married Mary Hamilton Burns).
1901 Scotland Census only gives James and Anne's place of birth as Ireland!
James died in Glasgow in 1936 and from his death cert his parents are listed as Patrick Brennan (farmer) and Bridget Rice.
Anne also died in Glasgow but in 1946 and from her death cert her parents are listed as John Murphy and Bridget Markey.

I also know that James had the following brothers and sisters

Bridget Brennan b 16/04/1867 Castleblayney, Monaghan

Patrick Brennan b 16/04/1867 Castleblayney

Francis Brennan b 10/07/1872 Castleblayney

Anne Brennan b 12/07/1874 Castleblayney
 
I visited Annayalla earler on this year but had absolutely no luck with trying to get a hold of the priest at St. Michael's (I had tried emailing him several times before going).  Was advised by a very nice lady that the priest would not wish to help by letting me look at the marriage register!


Any help would be great ;D

Hi Annette,

I've been researching my wife's family tree, her maiden name is Carroll and by the sounds of it you are related to her!

Her dad is James Carroll (1945) Has 4 living sisters.
Grandfather also James Carroll (1903 - 1987) married to Agnes Wilson (parents Alexander Wilson & Margaret McParlane)
Gt Grandfather Owen Carroll (1880) married to Annie Reilly (parents Patrick Reilly & Elizabeth Mullan)
Gt Gt Grandfather James Carroll (1845) married to Anne McIntyre (parents Hugh McIntyre & Nancy McLaughlin)
Gt Gt Gt Grandfather Patrick Carroll - married to Jane Flanagan

If you send me an email I'll put you touch with the rest of the clan.

Cheers

Stephen Brennan
