Hello. I am helping a friend search her ancestors. These were Denis Cannon and Susannah Sweeney of Inishkeel parish. Denis was born c. 1790 and Susannah c. 1785. I don't know when they married (1810?) and possiby had 5 children before emigrating to the U.S. c; 1836. They had other children in the U.S. (Morgan, Thomas, Ellen). Susannah Sweeney was from Rossbeg. I have seen there was a Susanna Swiney living in Rossbeg in Griffiths so I think this could have been a relative. From what I can see, there were Cannons (Cornelius, Owen, John) living in Lackagh in Griffiths which isn't far from Rossbeg so I thought this could be where Dennis Cannon was from.

We will be driving to Rossbeg and maybe Lackagh on May 12. I am wondering if anyone could provide information about historical places we could visit in the area which could have some meaning for this family search. From what I read, there was an RC chapel in Glenties in the past and I'm wondering if they could have been married there. Is this chapel still there? Or, would anyone have advice about other places of interest in the area?

Many thanks for any help.
