Tracing Slevin, Branon family

DonegalTaughboyne (Donegal)

Hi Everyone,  I am trying to trace further information on my wifes family from Taughboyne.

John Slevin (Slavin/Sleaven) married Jane Branon 29th Nov 1868. John was 21 at the time therefore born circa 1847.

I have a John Sleavin and Jane Brannon Sleaven with borth of a son Francis Sleaven 8th Nov 1874 Carnshaanagh, Taughboyne.

I also found John Slaven and Jane Byrne Slaven had a son Morris 4th Nov 1876

 

Jand Branons parents were Andrew Branon (Brannan, Brannon, Brennan) and Jane Burns .

 

Any help identifying parents, siblings or other information would be appreciated.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The civil marriage record is here (second record) https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1868/11475/8217988.pdf   Names of fathers are shown along with where the bride and groom were living. John was 27 and Jane 21.

I found a daughter Jane born in 1870 (seventh record) https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1870/03335/2222619.pdf

I will look for more records and get back to you.

I have made some progress on the Slevin family and managed to track all of the children.  I am struggling to find a birth certificate or church record for John Slevin who would have been born circa1841.  On his death certificate in Scotland his father is John Slevin and Mother Nancy McCool.  I have so far had no success tracking any marriage record for the parents or even a residence.   Not having the census recirds is difficult.  I have searched ancestry, family searcg, Irishgenealogy as well without success.  I can find John Slevin's but not with a mother Nancy McCool?
