KEENAN from Altaponer in 1800s

FermanaghAghalurcher (Fermanagh)

I have a family connection to James KEENAN b.1812 from Altaponer/Altnaponer that I cannot work out.

His Mother was Anne b.1791, and he had a sister Mary McELROY that he mentions in his Will - in 1901 Mary was living with her Daughter in Alderwood, Fivemiletown, Tyrone.

James also had a Nephew Patrick McMANUS who inherited the farm at Altaponer.

He mentions Nieces Margaret McManus b.1841 of Tattenabadah/ Tattenabuddagh, Corrylongford, Fermanagh; and Mary Ann McCaffrey b.1832 of Alderwood, Fivemiletown, Tyrone.

Regards,

SEAN

Below is the 1901 census record for Patrick and Catherine McManus in Altnaponer. Patrick was away the night the census was taken but he did sign the form.

Finally, I checked Alderwood. I did not find a Mary Ann McCaffrey but did locate a 68 year old Ann McCaffrey which possibly is the person you mentioned.

hi,

Thank you for that - I am hoping someone related to the family can shed some light on the family connection.

By the way this is the 1901 Census entry for Patrick in Altnaponer.
