Hi All

I am looking for any information on the Furlongs of Richmond St North and Russell Street Mountjoy. I know of the relationship between the Behan (Brendan Behan) and the Furlongs as it is well documented , but can find little on the Furlongs. I do know that Granny Furlong moved over to Birmingham England with her two daughters and shortly after arriving was arrested for bomb making. What I am looking for is anything on Thomas Henry Furlong and his wife Mary Anne O'Connor (granny furlong) and their children. Family say they know at some point there was a connection with Wexford but I cant seem to trace them back from Dublin. John/Jack Furlong married Kathleen Kearney mother of the Behan boys Brendan Behan and Dominic (second marriage to Stephen Behan) . The furlongs can be found in 1901 and 1911 living in mountjoy . My direct descendant is Leo Furlong.  Any help appreciated. Thanks  :)

Carol
I have found that my grandmother is one of the Eileen furlong who married a James gunning who's son Roger would've my father, but I am having problems tracing them
Would you have found any other information, I believe Leo is Eileen's brother, many thanks Donna
And it also seems via DNA I have connection to Kathleen behan

This is a long thread with a lot of links so a lot to wade through
Is this the family?

Eileen appears to be this birth without a first name, number 363

Have you searched https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp for Marriages ?

Or change to Births etc...

this gets Marriages to 1899 but one can change it.....or change Surname

When and where did Eileen and James marry?

There are restrictions on more recent records for data protection.

Is it possible Eileen was priviously married
There is a marriage in to Alfred O'Hely in 1922 the bride's father is Thomas and I'm fairly sure his occupation is Cutter, Eileen is noted as a minor which fits with a 1903 birth.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1922/09209/5331525.pdf

It looks like that Alfred didn't die until 1953.
