Hello Mary: I see on Ancestry that in 1908 Mary Lunn, householder of Newport P of Burrishoole appears in the Petty Sessions Registers applying for transfer of a publican's licence held by Ann Lunne to her own name for the premises situate at Georges St Town of Newport so in later times there are certainly Lunns there. You could maybe investigate whether generations of Lunns operated a pub in Newport. There are several other references in Ancestry so post a reply if you think this line of research could lead anywhere. Patricia, in Sydney Australia

Hello again Mary: also on Ancestry I see a family of parents James and Anne Lunn with 10 children listed incuding Mary born about 1835 in the 1841 census for the townland of Doogary , street address Derrygarve Newport. Patricia

Mary: Have you seen the entry for Phelim Donnelly, farmer (first guarantor) of Keltarnet in the Sustainability Loan Fund in 1843? Early in the 19th century th Irish Reproductive Loan Fund was created as a source of relief of poverty to provide small loans to the "industrious poor" - short term loans for capital or reproductive purposes such as purchasing fishing equipment, repairing sheds for curing fish or purchasing seeds for farmer. In that entry, associated names are Mart McDonagh of Sneeglboro (second guarantor) and what looks like Edmd Lacle (Borrower). These may be relatives of Phelim if they are  guaranteeing loans for Lacle. Patricia

Patricia.  Never heard of this.  It is 2 00 am Dec 4 in Florida.  Will definitly  check it out later today.  Thanks

Patricia... that was the same man... EDWARD DONNELLY  my great grandfather.  Weird  age difference.  #1  The headstone in Burrishoole... errected by my grandmother Mria.

#2  That was my great aunt LIZZIE  who I knew when I was a child.

Interesting how one can not see things  when on separate pages  but put together  ha.  I have both docs in a folder... just caught it now thanks to you.

I am descended from James Lunn and Anne O'Donnell Lunn. James died in 1851 and Anne died in 1891, they are buried in Burrishoole Friary Cemetery, Newport County Mayo. They had 8 children; Bridget, Mary, Catherine, Pat, Thomas, Peter, Margaret and John. Bridget, Mary and John Lunn immigrated to the USA in 1853. Bridget is my great grandmother, she married Michael McKenna and they resided in Alton, Illinois, then St. Louis, Missouri. Mary Lunn married Alexander McDonald, and they resided in Girard, Illinois. If you'd like further information about the lunns, you can contact me via Ancestry.com Kcoan90 is my user name.
