Im looking for my Nolan & Dolan ancestors, plus their parishes.

CavanKillinagh (Cavan)

My Great Grandfather John James Nolan born Feb, 6th, 1896 in Cornahan, Blacklion, County Cavan.

 Birth was registered in Enniskillen

 Baptism 21st of March, 1896

 Parents: Patrick Nolan and Susan Dolan

Married 25th of Feb, 1895 in Glengevlin Church by Martin Kelly CC

 in Cavan Ireland

Siblings of John James are Kate Nolan (Birthdate unknown)

 and Mary Nolan born April 7th 1897 in Cornahaw

John James Nolan immigrated to the U.S. in 1916

                                                                             Additional information

Parents of Patrick Nolan: Peter Nolan and Mary Nolan (I don't have the maiden name)

 Parents of Susan Dolan: Patt Dolan(more info about him can be found at: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dolan-612), Patt Dolan was born about 1849 in Ireland, Patt dolan may also be known as Pat Dolan, he died around 1915, it could of been off by at least 2 years and no info on mother. Birthplace and parish for Patt(t) Dolan is so far unknown.

               Since I have a general idea of where my great grandparents lived I would like to know which parish did they belong to, that way once I know that parish maybe I can have some luck in finding my Irish ancestors.

                                                                   Thank for any help you can provide.

                                                                             Francis John Nolan

Francis:

Cornahaw townland is in Killinagh civil parish. I've attached the 1901 and 1911 census records for the family. You will note that Patrick and Susan had four more children after the first three. However, Susan died probably in child birth around 1905. Patrick married again to a Mary Anne in either late 1910 or early 1911.

I did find a 1901 census record for a Patrick Dolan and family in Gubaveeny townland. Possibly he was the father of Susan Dolan Nolan.
