Gleeson and Haddican Family in Bekan/Becan/Began
I've posted a few things before but just had some success using Roots Ireland. I've been searching for Gleesons who we've thought had lived in the Ballyhaunis area. We have a gravestone in Derbyshire with a Great x3 uncles name and Ballyhaunis as a place he "came from/born". Our search through Census records has brought up Nenagh and various other areas but I returned to the Bekan search today. We had an idea that my Great x 3 Grandfather married a Mary Delaney. so really pleased to have found this which is a Great x 2 uncle. We have his recoirds from Census details... Father Andrew (sometimes Henry or Henricus) Mother Mary with a birth date of 1838 on Family Search but as they probably didn't know the actual date, this is pretty close.
So if anyone has any knowledge of where else I can look for Bekan information and the link to Derbyshire, it would be a great help. My Great x3 grandfather was a miller so maybe a flour or grain mill around the Bekan Parish?
