Thank you Aghadowey,
This information really expands greatly what I know and ties in well with scraps of information in my collection. The Townland where John Brown was born is actually Rathmanow,which is a part of the Farrell estate in Moynalty Co. Meath. Henry Brown definitely worked for a Coln. Farrell, but we never knew where....so it all ties in,thanks.

How do I get copies of the marriage cert/baptismal certs. Is it through the Church or PRONI?
Regards and thanks

Thank you for the help.
Does that imply that Elenas name was Brown also?

Trying another lead for information about Henry  and Lena [Helena/Elena] Brown of Edenacrannon.
Henry was of Church of Ireland so the may be associated with St Michaels/St Patricks church in Castlecaulfield.
Henry might have been born in the area

Henry  worked as gamekeeper in Parkenaur in the 1865-1875 era and they had two children Elena or Helena and Anne Jane.

I am wondering if I could get a marriage detail because I dont know Elenas surname.
 Maybe the birth certs or Batism certs might give this.

 In a previous search of associated documents Elena is mentioned as coming from Edenacrannon..which is the townland [or one of them] upon which Parkanaur is situated.

Any information ,no matter how small ,would be appreciated.
Thanks
Sean

My uncle John lived there in the 60's

I lived there during the 1960s and there was a man named Mc Geogh who owned the Swan. He had 2 daughters. I cant remember their names. It is possible that this lady was buried in Haggardstown OLD  cemetery, which is located on the old golf links road near Blackrock, a relatively short distance from the newer cemetery and Blackrock village. I dont think Mr mc Geogh lived in Blackrock. He travelled from North of the village I think. Perhaps if you check the registry of deeds you could get his address. He sold the place in the early seventies to a man called Oliver Murphy and it was later bought by a Mr P . Smyth.
Perhaps she is buried near the home of Mr Mc Geogh,so if you had his address, you might find her whereabouts. Alternatively you could phone the parochial house for Blackrock and ask them to check the registers.
Good luck
