Lehane and Quinlan Family

Hello Hayley ,

I saw the record you referenced but I am not clear what is the question that you are asking? Can you be a bit more specific and i will try to help? I am a bit muddled. There were lots and lots of Lehanes in Co Cork. Are you trying to see if Eliza's sponsor was related in some way to her son-in-law's first wife's maternal grandfather?

Please let me know?

Hi Geraldine, thanks for replying first of all. I've hit a brick wall to be honest, I'm looking into my 2nd great grandparents. John James Smith, and Elizabeth Quinlan. Elizabeth's parents are Robert Quinlan and Eliza Lehane, as I stated above the only info I have on Robert Quinlan was that he had three pubs in cork. Now with regards to Eliza Lehane, that's where I'm stuck....  I need to come back to my 2nd great grandad John for this, now John was married before he married my 2nd great grandmother Elizabeth Quinlan. His first wife was Catherine Lehane, now I'm wondering whether Eliza Lehane and Catherine Lehane are related in some way. Making Elizabeth quinlan and Catherine cousins, maybe? 

I'm sorry. I can't make heads or tails of what you are saying. Maybe if you drew up a diagram? It's like those riddles of my father's father's son's mother's grandmother's aunt. I just can't make out what you are saying.

Could you say whose records you are looking for? Pick one person and give as much information about them as possible and I will try to help you.
