I've been able to find children Honor, Michael and Francis Curneen born of Francis Curneen and Mary Elliott but although John Curneen was mentioned in his fathers Will I cannot find a birth or census entry.



Honor in 1865.

Thanks Hallmark.......  heres a lead,

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Leitrim/Glenade/Leckanarainey/656029/

This looks like the mother Mary here with Michael. The listing states she had 4 children, 3 living which is correct as John died in 1888.

However, the dates don't match

(Just reposting this here rather than on your other thread)



As they got their land via Landed Estates Court....whose estate were they on?

Are there Estate Records? Leases? etc....

    "...Have you tried checking what is recorded for each townland your kin were at?

    e.g Leitrim 1739 to 1810

    https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSNX-X9DN-K?i=6&cat=185720

    keeping an eye on Column2... the Barony.

    Rosclogher  would be your Barony. All a matter of luck!!  "



    Keep eyedrops nearby.....  ;D




Just doodling on the FS Townlands history for Leitrim,  it wouldn't surprise me if these 1727 Cornyn ones in Rossclougher and Dromahaire are Corneen/Curneen....

Also, if so, have you checked Tithes, Griffiths or Wills for Cornyn ?

Haven't checked the later 1739 to 1810 ones on above Link.
