Hi Roger, thanks for your message. I was hoping to find more info on Edward Flanagan bcirca 1820 and his wife Elenora O'Neil in Roscommon. He was father to my husbands g,g grandfather Patrick Flanagan b circa 1843 Roscommon? who married Catherine McNeil who was born in Raheen, Elphin circa 1841and married in 1864 in Elphin. I think the following may be his birth details;

I looked at the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Elphin parish and there was no Edward Flanagan listed and the McNeils listed did not live in Raheen. ( I noticed that one of the sponsors of the baptism was Michael Flanagan and there are two Michael Flanagans listed).
