Gleeson Ancestry

TipperaryToomevara (Tipperary)

Hello,

I'd like to know if there are any descendants still living in the Toomevara district or elsewherewhose ancestory traces back toRoger Gleeson and/orJohn Gleeson who lived at the townland Knockane Castle near Toomevara in 1824/25.

They are listed in the Tithe Applottment Books as tenant farmers on Cole Bowen estate and I believe Roger to be my 4 times great grandfather but have no paper trail to follow down from him.

Any hints or clues would be most appreciated. A direct descendant would be fantastic!!

Thanks for reading!

Hi Barred,

There is one Gleeson in Toomevara in the Irish phone book (118.ie/) You could write to him
