Dann Family

[bclampton]

I am looking for the family of Alexander Dann who I believe married Mary Mathews in 1814 in Killaloe County, Munster.  He was my 2nd great grandfather.  His son, Alexander, married Jane Bulger after they came over to England.  They were not on the 1841 census so must have come over Ireland between 1841 and 1851.  My grandmother told me he was a strict protestant (she was a primitive methodist) and an orangeman.  I do not know this was true - could be made up. 
Does anybody have any info on this.

There's a Killaloe town in Co. Clare (part of Munster Province) so I'll move this thread to CLARE board.

Is the 1814 marriage record a marriage licence bond associated with the DIOCESE of Killaloe or a record from one of the churches in the TOWN of Killaloe?

The DIOCESE of Killaloe covers much of county Tipperary, where I know some Danns living around Borrisokane.  You might want to try your query in the Tipperary part of this website.

I found the marriage of Alexander Dann and Mary Mathews m 1814 in Family Search.  I knew m;y Alexander's father and mother were Alexander and Mary.  My Alexander was born in Ireland in 1829.  He also had a brother Richard, b 1832, a Thomas b 1834 and a Rachel b 1837
As Alexander Dann is not a common name in Ireland this is as close as I can get.  I know he was as strict protestant as my gran told me he was an Orangeman.  Over here he was a strict Primitive Methodist.
Without actually going to Ireland and looking through the Church records I don't know any other way to find the information as I don't think the censuses exist.

If there is anything I can do for you in England please let me know, also Australia and New Zealand, as I am going there.

Thank you for looking.

a couple of points about that marriage record on familysearch - see link

a) The location is 'Diocese Of Killaloe, Munster Province, Ireland'. This is not the same as the town of Killaloe and if it refers to the Church of Ireland Diocese (the RC Diocese of the same name covers a slightly different area) then it includes parts of counties Clare, Limerick, Kerry, Cork and Tipperary. During the 1840s the Diocese contained just over 60 parishes.

b) the record is submitted and may not be accurate.

If it said Killaloe in Family Search that would presumably be the diocese.  That may account for why on just one census they put Tipperary.   Barb Chap;man in Canada has many Danns from Tipperary in her family but we cannot come up with any Alexanders.

the familysearch record specifically states 'Diocese Of Killaloe'

I think my only solution is to visit and look at the parish records unless anybody has any other suggestions.  I have written to the Orange Order many times but they just do not answer.
