Another question on a family that I havent formally tied in to my family. The 1901 Census shows widow Ann Faughnan living in Cattan with her daughter Maria (Mary) and her husband Michael Lennon (married Jan 1893, son of John Lennon) and their 4 children ~
- John Francis Lennon b 1896
- Michael Joe Lennon b 1899
- Rose Anne Lennon b 1900
- Eugene Lennon b 1903

A little home work showed that the Ann listed in 1901 censius was married to Francis Faughnan to whom I am wondering about.

Francis Faughnan b approx 1829 d Mar 11, 1879 married to Ann Culreavy in Gortletteragh parish on Feb 18,1860. The witnesses were Dennis & Maria Culreavy. Ann was a widow at the time of the census.

-Rose Faughnan baptized May 12, 1867 d 1953 Sponsors John Grey and Anna Faughnan. Rose Married Eugene Brennan on July 16, 1894 d 1907. Peter Brennan and Alice Gray witnessed the marriage in Gortletteragh church. Eugene’s father was John Brennan from Crealaughter Rose remarried Patrick Reilly after Eugenes passing
