LeitrimCloonclare (Leitrim)

Hi there.

My grandparents John Keaveny and Hannah Flynn (Born 1895) were from Lacoon Glenfarne, in the parish of Cloonclare. John (DOB 1879-1950) had two unmarried brothers Thomas and Patrick. He also had 2 sisters Anne and Mary. My mother gave me a good history years ago, and said that both Anne and Mary went to USA when they were young. I cannot trace Anne at all. I tracked Mary to Boston where she died in 1904 aged 35. Have you any suggestions that would help? Many thanks.

Hi, do you know their parents' names? I found an Anne Keaveny but want to check that it's the right one before doing some more research.

Hi Teresa

Thanks for your reply; Ann's parents would have been Theady Keaveny and her mother Ann Mc Dermott. (never sure if Ann is spelt with or without an e). They lived in Lacoon Glenfarne.

kind regards

Hi,

I haven't been able to find anything about Anne in the civil registration records. I did find Thomas civil record, also his church record. Here is the link to Cloonclare's parish for 1866 to 1885 if you want to look for the family's baptisms.
