Mark Lannon appears on RC parish registers for Croghan and Elphin in the early 19th century. 

In 1814, Mark Lannon and Celia Gray of Lisnabol (north-west of Elphin) baptise their daughter Mary. They invited John Bolan and Brigid Mullaney to godparent. 

  • John Bolan was living in Cloonmahaan/ Corracreigh (just south of Elphin near Cloonyquin). He was the brother of Peter Bolan and Edmund Bolan of Carrownurlar.
  • Brigid Mullaney was living in Elphin and married to Patrick Conner. In 1810, they invited Sabina Branon (sic) to godparent.

Mark Lannen is then invited to godparent by his sister Sabina Lannon and Patrick Barrett of Ballinvilla. 

  • Hugh O'Donnell aka McDonnell & Eleanor O'Hara (Croghan RC) invited Sabina Lannen to godparent in 1828; Margaret & Edmund Barrett in 1834; John Finn in 1837; Patrick Boyd & Anne Barrett in 1838, James McDonnell & Catherine Morahan in 1840. 

Mark Lannen does not appear in the Tithe Applotment Records of 1824 at Lisnabul nor anywhere else in Co Roscommon.  

Ó LEANNÁIN (sometimes pronounced Ó Lionnáin, or Ó Liondáin)

Anglicized: O'Lennane, O'Lennan, Linnane, Lannan, Lannen, Lannon, Lannin, Lennon, Lennan, Lennin Leonard; (In error: Laan? Laane? Lane? Lenaghan?)

'descendant of Leannán' (diminutive of leann, a cloak or mantle); the name of at least three distinct families, seated respectively in the counties of Fermanagh (Lisgoole near Enniskillen), Mayo (Killala) and Galway. All are still well represented, but very often disguised under the anglicised form of Leonard.

In Co. Roscommon, the most common spelling variant in the 18th century was Lannon followed by Lannin and Lannan. May be disguised by Lennon in the 20th cnetury.

    Boyle Poor Law Union formally declared

    <p>The Irish Poor Law Act of 1838 divided Ireland into poor law unions (in which paupers would receive poor relief). A union was named after the town on which it was centred (where its workhouse was located) and the "union" boundaries were unrelated to those of the civil parishes ( and crossed county boundaries in many cases). Prior to this date, poor relief was administered by parish and these records were kept in the Church of Ireland Vestry Books (held locally).</p>
