Glynns of Fohenagh
I am responding to Eirehomme in regard to his message about the Glynn family of Fohenagh. I have long been tracing the Glynns in this parish, but I cannot determine which line of Glynns might be my ancestors. I have the following information, and I am hoping that you might be able to assist me:
Bridget Glynn, b. ca 1844 in Fohenagh Parish m. John Kennedy b. 1841 in Doon, Fohenagh Parish. They had the following children all of whom were born in Doon: Patrick b. 1859, Thomas b.ca 1860, Margaret b. 1863, Mary Agnes b. 1865, Ann b. 1867, John b. 1869. The family emigrated to New York in 1872.
John Kennedy was a herder, but I am uncertain for which landlord he worked. It is possbile that his parents were John Kennedy and Catherine Healy.
I am seeking the parents of Bridget, so that I might determine from which Glynn family I descend. I have been to the parish in Fohenagh, and there is no record of her birth or of her marriage.
I am hoping that someone may have ties to this family.
