I'm looking for a mentor because I so, need some help or direction. After many years of searching, I've only recently discovered my Brennan ancestors. Have now found my gt. grandfather Thomas Brennan but I'm finding it incredibly difficult to gather info on him because Thomas and his wife separated in the mid 1920's After the separation there is absolutely no details of Thomas until he turns up in Raphoe in 1929, nothing is known of his whereabouts after 1929,. it's not even know for sure where he is buried, but it's thought possibly with his comrades in Glasnevin. It's thought that Thomas may have originated from Kilkenny, probably born in the 1880's. He may have had a brother who was a priest, thought to have been in Wexford. Thomas married in Cootehill Kilkenny 1907. Thomas and his wife travelled around Ireland, Thomas as a stage performer and concert manager, his wife was a concert singer. They travelled with his wife's family, the concert proprietors Linehan/Lenahan's as a Travelling Bazaar.. Thomas and his wife had 4 children born Kilkenny, Leitrim, Tipperary and Cork.. It is known that Thomas was active during the Anglo/Irish war and it's believed he held a senior position. During 1920 Thomas's son was born in Cork but Thomas was not with them in Cork, he was living at 42c Great Brunswick Street.. Number 42 was the Ancient Concert Hall. Thomas was a professional Variety Artist but in 1920 whilst living in Brunswick Street, he gives his profession a a Mechanic. I have read the recordings off what was happening at that time in Brunswick Street and elsewhere and therefore realize why Thomas was was in Dublin but can any one throw any light on Thomas for me?.... Much appreciated Jackie.
