Hi my Name is Ron Lanning and I'm from New Zealand, my Ancestors Family Name is LANNIN, but as you can see from my Family name there are several spelling variants some being LENNON, LANNAN, LANNON etc, One of my Ancestral Cousin's was Living in County Carlow at least from the 1820`s his name was James Lannon he Married a Mary Kavanagh on the 20 th May 1830 in Leighlin witnesses were a John Worthington and Wm Tobin. My GG Grandfather Nathaniel Lannin left Ireland in 1846 (he was Born around 1818) with his Wife Margaret Mahoney (they escaped the Potato Famine) and travelled around England (London, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Devon and finally Cornwall) settling in Cornwall in 1855 they had a total of ten Children during that time, Christian Names common in my Family are Nathaniel, James, Thomas, George, Charles, William, Margaret, Mary, Eliza, Jane, and Catherine etc, my GGrandfather James Lannin immigrated to New Zealand in 1874, and his line of the Lannin Family has been here ever since . Regards Ron Lanning
