Surnames: BRISLAN/Egan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WFC.2ACI/1841.3 Message Board Post: I'm looking for any information about the BRISLAN Family (spellings vary from Breslin, Brislane, Brisland, etc.), especially about James Brislan (b. 1792) who was from County Tipperrary, Parish of Drum and Borrisoleigh Townland. In the Drum Parish there are records apparently of the marriage of James Brislan and Margaret Egan (12 Feb 1814); also a record of their eldest child Judy (also seen as Johanna). Their other children born in Ireland were Margaret(b.1821), Edward and John(b.1825), but no records have been found. They all emmigrated to Canada where James died in 1864. I don't have any information about where James was born, his parents, etc. James Brislan also had a brother Daniel with a family residing near Monegal in the Parish of Toomavara. I'm new to this search and have seen your name reappearing with searches for Brislane and was just wondering if we shared the same family. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
