McCann Heaney

LouthCarlingford (Louth)

For years I have been trying to find a marriage for Bernard McCann 1799 and Jane Heaney 1808 my 3great grand parents. I have not found one for any McCann and Heaney until yesterday. I found a record for ?McCann to Mary Heaney 2/5/1826 in Cooley. The only birth records I could find were from 1811 are there any before that date? Where would they be?
I suppose it is possible that it could be Mary Jane Heaney and I also understand that Bernard could be Bryan.

in the 1851 census they were in Yorkshire with 4 children Christopher 1832-1864, James 1835, Richard baptised 1/11/1836 in Drogheda and Bernard baptised 5/12/1840 Drogheda.

I would appreciate any help unraveling this family it’s been about 20 years to date always hoping more records will come on line. Thanks Sandra (Australia)
