Yes, I've crossed paths with Connor Lannen a few times in Kiltoghert Parish records recently.
In the petty sessions it describes a May 6th, 1855 event in which Peter Shanly of Kilmaddaroe accused Michael and Cornelius Lannen (from the neighboring village Clogher) of assaulting him, and Michael in turn accused Peter of assaulting him. The charge against 14 year old Cornelius was dismissed. Michael Lannen and Peter Shanly each had to pay a 5£ fine and "keep the peace" for 6 months.
I can only guess at the reasons behind the dispute, but I find it interesting that Connor Lannen can be seen via Griffith's as a neighbor of Peter Shanly's in Kilmaddaroe in 1851. The two of them had a legal dispute also! Cornelius would only have been 10 in 1851. Perhaps Connor was the father, uncle, or even grandfather of Michael and Cornelius Lannen. Hard to say.
