John Flanagan

My research shows that John Flanagan (County Meath) married Mary Earley (County Louth), both from the townsland of Coolfore and they had eight children:

John Flanagan baptized 29 November, 1826.                                                 James Flanagan baptized 17 August, 1828.                                             William Flanagan baptized 28 January, 1831.                                          Mary Flanagan baptized 26 June, 1833.                                                   Ann Flanagan baptized 22 March, 1836.                                                  Peter Flanagan baptized 28 June, 1838.                                          Rose Flanagan baptized 10 February, 1841.                                  Bridget Flanagan baptized 3 April, 1844.

I believe these eight were all baptized in Monasterboice Parish.  I would like to learn more about the siblings of James, because he moved to the USA (he is my great-grandfather) and I believe all of his siblings stayed in Ireland and their descendants are likely still living there.  I will be in Ireland again in July, 2025 and will be searching for them.

I would also love to learn more about John & Mary, and perhaps locate the location of the land that they farmed in the 1800’s.
