There is nothing on Rowan and associated names and no Rowans at Glin school, there is a Rowen/Rohan from County Clare that married a Danaher from near Shanagolden in Australia 1856, also a Mary Rowan born Co Clare that married a Madigan from Mount Trenchard. It could be that the Rowan's were from Clare. On the twenty-five acre Costello farm at Cloonlahard, nineteen year John Costello immigrated to America in 1876, the farm was passed to his twenty-six year brother Edward. p 123 Costelloe Morty is from Killeany, Glin (this is very long to type out, which is about an incident that occurred at Whiskeyhall, will do if it relates) p 58 Costelloe Timothy only mentions that he had 183 acres at Killeany only general discussion about leases p 31 Kerry ----- Original Message ----- From: <DUCKEECPS@aol.com> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 12:45 AM Subject: [IRL-LIMERICK] Paupers Warren- West Limerick 1845-1849. > Hi Kerry, > > I would very much appreciate if you could check for Rowan (Rohan, > Roughan,etc) and Costelloe.

Hi Liz There were a few families of Scanlon's in Glin parish between 1830-1850 in the townlands of Cahara (2 families), Kinard, Glin village,(3 families) Farrenmiller/Ballyhoulahan and Tennekilla (near Ballyhahill). John seems to be a common name shared in all families. There are no children registered as (Mc)Kearney in Glin, only Denis Kearny b 1835, Catherine b 1854 father is a grocer and moved to Limerick in Dec 1861 and John b 1856, father is a policeman of Glin.

Would it be safe to say that prior to the Reformation all Christians were Catholic? And there was a long time between the Norman invasion and the Reformation so a lot of Catholics would have been named William without any reference to religion. Also, there would have been quite an amount of intermarriage between all the invaders and the locals (I was going to say native Irish but when would there have been 'pure' native Irish?) and, therefore, possibly, new Given or Christian names would have been introduced. Catholics would have converted to Protestantism and vice versa so I think trying to assume anything from a given name would be fraught with danger and likely to mislead.

Hi John Thanks for the information. This will give me a starting point. I have a marriage record for a Blaney which might tie into my clan, still working on that. In the record it states that he was from Co. Leinster, Ireland and one hospital record states that he was from Ballyan or Ballyna, Ireland. The hospital record was ddifficult to read so this might not be the correct spelling. This was a French institution and so it was most probably spelled phonetically. Any idea where this Ballyan or Ballyna might be?

By and large, I pay attention to given names, especially when I'm in certain areas of the country.? I find that Jane, for instance, is more often a Protestant Christian name, as is George, no matter where I go.? But especially around Donegal, where my grandmother was from, it's more an all bets are off type situation.? Grace and Annabelle are found in both religions.? For men on the whole, Patrick and James, I've found to be Catholic names, while William and John cross all boundaries.? For women, Johanna, Hanora, Bridget, those tend to be Catholic, while Judith, Adelaide, Charlotte, those tend to be Protestant.? I certainly don't hang my hat on the Christian name, but I do keep it in the back of my mind.

Dear Kerry, Thank you so much for your email. Will try and find more information about Timothy Hynes to see where he fits in with other researchers. Margaret had a brother listed with her at time of the 1846 statement of Finnoo. They must have been at another school. Have not heard of Elizabeth. up till now. If you have the time could you please check the Bounty lists of passengers from Limerick for HYNES/CANTY. My GrGrandfather, John Canty came from Croom and his parents were Thomas Canty and Mary Hogan married 1808 Fedamore Parish. Their children William b 1811, Sarah b 1816, Patrick b 1819 bap at Fedamore and John born c1819 (no bap record) As far as I can see Thomas siblings were Michael and Alice and their parents, William Canty and Mary Connors. I believe there was a protestant marriage further back, hence the name 'William'. Hope this makes some sense for you. Regards,.

Kerry I would appreciate a lookup of the names Hayes and McInerney in the bounty immigrants reels. My info so far: Michael Hayes - County Limerick Michael & Honoria (Norry) Hayes left Ireland from Cork on 11 November, 1838 on "Adam Lodge" with 2 daughters, Mary & Ellen. Michael's parents were Michael and Mary (nee unknown) Hayes. Honoria's (AKA Norry/ Anne) maiden name was McInerney - Father Lawrence/Laurence, Mother unknown. If there is any other information about them I would appreciate a lookup. Thanks and best wishes Patricia

If you have a 'mixed' marriage, one spouse being Catholic and the other being Protestant was it possible back in 1830-1841 for the couple to be wed in the Catholic Church at all? Or did they have to have some sort of 'civil' non-religious type of wedding? Was that even possible back then? Could you go to some Justice of the Peace or something and be married? If so, is there any special place I should be looking for marriage records? Thanks! Kathy Researching SHANAHAN and LUBY surnames in Co Limerick, Co Cork and Co Tipperary
