My gg grandmother was a Brennan from Ireland, do not know where. She and a sister Ellen went to Ontario. I found her and her sister, I have the sister's whole life. But I cant find my gg grandparents wedding date. But I do have the first two sons baptisms in Canada. When they came to Heckscherville, Wow forget it. I tried to find a reason why? I believe there had to be some one here they knew. I have a Margaret Ryan married to William Lipsett, she was daughter of James and Margaret Ryan. She was born about 1861. My gg grandparents were John and Catherine Brennan Lipsett. I also have Ryan married to Keating which was my g grandmother's surname. She was Lucy Ryan b-1880 married to Thomas Keating.. I know nothing else about her. When I first started to do this, I found 56 diff families of Brennan living in Cass Township. It is Like Smith and Jones LOLOL Thanks for the name doing the Brennan search. I will contact her. Is there any connection on the above names?
