Wow, thanks for the swift responses! I guess I should have told you what I know for sure, so far. I have looked at the family on the 1901 census. The remaining members at that time are: living at Carrownamaddy: Maria Regan age 50 - farmer/widow Timothy Regan age 22 John Regan age 20 James Regan age 18 Kate Regan age 15 Bridget Regan age 14 The whole family is as follows: 1. PATRICK1 REGAN was born Abt. 1800, and died 09 Apr 1880 in Carnamoda, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. He married ELIZABETH PHILLIPS. Child of PATRICK REGAN and ELIZABETH PHILLIPS is: 2. i. TIMOTHY2 REGAN was born Abt. 1832, and died 18 Aug 1890 in Carrownamaddy, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. He married MARIA MELIA Abt. 1870, daughter of BARTHOLOMEW MELIA and MARY COX. She was born Abt. 1851. Children of TIMOTHY REGAN and MARIA MELIA are: i. MARY ANN3 REGAN, b. 10 Sep 1871, Corgarrow, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. ii. THOMAS REGAN, b. 20 Jun 1873, Lismakeegan, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. iii. ETTY REGAN, b. 24 Oct 1874, Corgorrow, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. iv. TIMOTHY REGAN, b. 22 Mar 1876, Corgarrow, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. v. PETER REGAN, b. 09 Feb 1878, Cloonahee, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. vi. JOHN REGAN, b. 21 Feb 1880, Carrownamaddy, Co. Roscommon, Ireland; d. Abt. 20 Dec 1962, Ballycomoyle, Co. Westmeath, Ireland. vii. JAMES JOSEPH REGAN, b. 16 Apr 1882, Cloonahee, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. viii. MICHAEL FRANCIS REGAN, b. 16 Apr 1882, Cloonahee, Co. Roscommon, Ireland; d. 16 Sep 1882, Carnamoda, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. ix. KATE REGAN, b. 22 May 1885, Carrownamaddy, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. x. BRIDGET REGAN, b. 20 Oct 1887, Carrownamaddy, Co. Roscommon, Ireland. I have it on good authority that Mary Ann (Maria), Timothy and Bridget never married. They all lived in the family home until they died. So, that leaves me Thomas Regan, Etty Regan, Peter Regan and Michael Francis Regan to go at. Thanks for all your ideas - I will surely follow them up. Bye for now, Lisa. > From: gander@sympatico.ca> To: roscommon@rootsweb.com> Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:07:18 +0000> Subject: Re: [ROSCOMMON] Hello everyone> > Also had this info on file:> Brackloon, Mantua, is in Shankill Civil parish and in Elphin Catholic > parish.> > For the location of the townlands in Elphin Catholic parish see> http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com/MAPS/elphin_rc.html.> > For Brackloon 1824 Tithe applotment records see LDS Film 256685> > At Griffith’s Valuation in 1858.
