Francis Curneen
« on: Friday 07 December 18 13:31 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find Francis Curneens family. He was born 1830 and died 24 April 1882 in Largydonnel. In his will he left land to two sons John, his eldest and Francis, his youngest. His brother Michael was present at his death.

My wifes great great grandfather was Michael and I am starting to get the idea that this Francis is related since Peter Curneen (also in my wife family tree) was witness to the will.

I just cannot find his sons in the census.
His wife was Mary (Elliot)

Maybe contact the Headstone maker and ask if he can pass on a note to kin??
