    1. Hanning, Liscarrol
    2. Is anyone researching John Hanning and his wife Ellen Callahan? They are buried in St. Catherine of Siena's cemetery, Charlestown, NH. John died Sept. 5, 1903 at age 80, so he was born about 1823. Ellen died Jan. 14. 1895 at age 68 (born about 1827). The bottom of the tombstone says "Born in Liscarrol, Co. Cork, Ireland." I've also seen this spelled Liscarroll. Census records show them in Langdon, NH with children John (b. abt. 1847), Morris (b. abt. 1848), David b. 1859, Michael (b. abt. 1862), and Hannah (b. abt. 1864). Ellen may be the sister of my great-great-grandfather Cornelius Callahan, who settled in Charlestown in 1850, dying there in 1908. Her age is right, Cornelius' mother's name was Ellen, and there weren't many Callahans in New Hampshire. I haven't been able to determine where Cornelius was from other than County Cork. I'm assuming that the "born in Liscarrol" at the bottom of the Hanning's tombstone means they were both born there, so this could be where he came from. Robin in Maryland
