...or maybe a ginormous hole *g*
My ggg grandmother is Mary Ann Jordan from Leighlinbridge, Co Carlow. Her marriage record to my ggggfather Patrick Brennan is in the St. Lazarian RC records.
Sadly the baptismal records for her and for the person I suspect is her brother are part of missing books.
Happily her family seems to have been close enough to move to Canada to be near each other, so there's a bit of circumstantial evidence...
In 1841/42, Martin Jordan is sharing the same lot in Lanark Co as Patrick and Mary Ann Jordan Brennan.
In 1851 the Brennans are in Grey Co; next door are Michael and Elizabeth Jordan Mara/O'Mara and her mother mother, widowed Mary Jordan.
Elizabeth is younger and she (along with a John Jordan) *do* have baptismal records: parents Moses Jordan and Mary Hayes.
There was another Mary Ann Jordan living next door as a servant to the Martin Jordans in '51; no was to tell if she was Martin's, though. One of Martin's sons was named Moses.
But there I sat til this last week.
I heard from 2 people who are related to Martin's line, which I had little info on aside from children's names.
2/3s of the children moved to the area around Williamstown and Utica, NY -- and there are newspaper scans of published obits at fultonhistory.com.
Obits tha include all the daughters' married names and the info that the stray Mary Ann was Martin and Catherine's eldest daughter (and the last survivor of the kids).
Still nothing mentioned of the O'Mara or Brennan connection, but I'll keep looking for a reference to aunts, and in the meantime?
WHEEEEEEEE!
