There is a big distance between Antrim and Tipperary counties. I check all the townlands in County Antrim beginning with the letter N and none look like Neangh. Also no civil or RC parishes with that name or any name similar in spelling. There were Lewises in the Nenagh tithes so it might be an area to explore. If you go here: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/ put Lewis in the surname search box, you will find that for the Griffith's Valuation (ca 1850s) the counties with the most Lewises were Antrim and Tipperary. Getting to your handwritten note, who wrote it? Family lore is sometimes very correct and other time way off the mark. My father was born in his grandfather house and raise by him and told me his grandfather was born in Australia. To my surprise when I started my family genealogy, I found he was born in Ireland, County Armagh. I even found his baptism record there! Now, I am thinking he may have gone to Australia before going to the USA and the story became mangled over time.

Had a hand written note that said "Neangh" County Antrim....Do you think it could have been Nenagh, Tipperary??? Her name was Jane Louise Lewis Born May 7, and here again there are conflicting dates....1840--1846--1854.? Tradition says she came to an aunt in Canada and then to the US.? -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
