KIERNAN - Leitrim

Post by jkiernan »

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with my search. I know for sure that my GGGF is John Kiernan who married Eliza Charles on 29-Nov-1866. I believe they were both born in 1850. They lived in Drummucker when the 1901 census was done. They had 3 children that I know of: Mary Ann (1867), Edward (1869) and John (1871). He was a farmer. John's son Edward - my GGF married Elizabeth O'Brien in 1897 in New York.

John's father was also named Edward. There are 2 Edward's in the 1901 census and I believe that one of them is my GGGGF. One is from Drummucker and one is from Drumeela.

Edward from Drumeela: 69 at time of 1901 census - that would mean that if John was his son he would have been 19 when he was born.

Edward from Drummucker: 65 at time of 1901 census - that would mean that if John was his son he would have been 15 when he was born. Catherine his wife (first or second wife?)was 60 at the census - that would make her 10. Not possible.

Don't know if this is any help. I checked Griffith's Valuation for you.

In Drummucker, both renting from Luke Whyte, are:
KEIRNAN EDMOND
KEIRNAN JOHN.
