Brennan's in Baltinglass

[thedownman93]

My great - great grandfather Laughlin died in 1889, his sister Anne was present at his death.
There seems to be a problem with the age difference. Laughlin was 50 when he died and had a brother Matthew who was 84. Laughlin was born around 1838 and according to his brothers death certificate age was born 1804. Could there be a mistake in the age difference?


There is no record for Laughlin's birth or marriage certificate, however I was able to find a list of
Anne Brennan's

For reference-
Laughlin Brennan died 1889 in Togher- sister Anne Brennan same townland-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1889/06125/4749236.pdf
Age 50 (born c1839) so before birth registration.

Closest I can find at the moment to marriage is this one in Rathdrum-

daughter Agnes born 1868-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1869/03411/2251074.pdf

Civil registration of births started in 1864 so it's unlikely that the sister Anne Brennan that was informant in 1889 will have a birth registration either. The fact that in 1889 she was Brennan indicates that she either wasn't married or that she married a man with the same surname.

Possible death- Anne Brennan, spinster, died 1890 at Togher age 74 (born c1816)- informant was a Kate Brennan-

A Matthew Brennan had son Laughlin Eden Brennan in 1865-

Matthew Brennan, bachelor, died 1888 age 84 at Togher- informant was brother Loughlin Brennan-

Loughlin Brennan, of Togher, son of Loughlin, m.1886 Kate Callaghan-

Why would there be a big age difference if Anne was born in 1816?

[thedownman93]

Did not see Laughlin's marriage certificate. I might have got mixed up with 2 Laughlin's. That would make Anne Laughlin's Aunt ?

Here's a birth certificate of Matthew, my great grandfather https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1888/02496/1925874.pdf
