Where to next for Michael Mc Aweeney
Hi all, I just found this record in the National Archives website, any suggestions of where I can look next to find any info on my ancestor. Cheers from Andrew in Australia.

In Griffith's Valuation of Leitrim in 1857, there were five heads of household named McAweeny. It is likely Michael was from one of these families.

Bono,
FindMyPast is a paysite that has court records. There is a record in 1846 for Michael McAweeney in Smithfield prison in Dublin. He was born in 1823. There is a possibility to do a free trial with FindMyPast. If you decide to take the free trial be sure to unsubscribe as there is automatic renewal. The 'cost' of the free trial is a few emails asking you to join! Alternatively, there is occasional free access around November 11.
Best wishes, Kieran

Attached is a record of various men from Counties Leitrim and Longford who were sentenced on March 19th.
Michael McAweeney is recorded at 1584 wo was a Roman Catholic and could read and write.
There is a John Leddy at 1585.
