Hi I'm doing my family tree have been for a while now and I'm trying to locate any information on any living family members and also my ancestors and where they are possibly laid to rest.
I have and Edward Brennan 1795 - 1870
Patrick Brennan 1814-1892
James Brennan 1848
Martin Brennan 1871
Bridget Quinn 1889
Patrick Gannon 1896

not quite sure how Bridget and Patrick are connected but they are on a few Census's if anyone has any information that would be great. Over the time period our name has changed from Brennan to Brennen so any spelling could be a help, my great granddad is buried in Merseyside as George Brennan but his son my granddad is spelt Brennen and that's what was passed down to us.
Thanks
Katie Fitzgerald (nee Brennen )

Hi Katie,

It is difficult to know exactly what information you have and what information you are looking for.  Just asking because I did read on another thread " we have an Edward Brennan born 1795, he went to on have a son called Patrick. Ii have struggled to find a lot of info on Edward due to the time period but I have a lot of other information on other family members"

To save people duplicating what you already have, its best to ask specific questions that we could perhaps answer.

Your earlier post (on an old Antrim topic) said "I have been doing my family tree for a while now and I have a James and Martin Brennen who are brothers, James born 1848 and Martin 1871. both born in Boyle Roscommon co.Sligo " But Roscommon and Sligo are the opposite end of the country from Wexford  :-\

As with all research you need to work back clearly, step by step, to make sure you are following the correct family and have found the right information on them.
