Hi Peter, Remember your visit to Canny-land very well. Still chasing Cannys when I spot the name. Only this week came across an interesting item in the Ennis Chronicle of Oct. 1797. Seems the Denis of Clonmoney had agreed a legal separtation with his wife Lucinda Lysaght and she was to get some land. In a case His Majesty v. Denis Canny some lands at Corcanknockane and Knocksaggartnabanetry wer to be sold for the sum of £1650-18-7 to be paid to wife.
Good luck with the Canny gathering. My own GG grandfather John Henry McCan went out with at least some of his children and died in Riley St. Sydney in 1854. My G grandfather Joseph McCan
was m.1847 in St. Mary's to Jula O'Brien and my grandfather Francis McCan was born 1848, so you can see that I am an Irishman with a grandfather born in Australia. John Henry had 12 children but I could never come any of them in Australia.
Best wishes,
Anthony
