Hello I am trying to find some family background for the McCann family in Enniscorthy. I am due to come over in the Summer butwant to find out as much as I can prior to my holiday.
The family lived in John St if that is of any help at all.
Thank you

You wouldn`t happen to have any Fannings in your family tree would you? My husband is a McCann, all his ancestors seem to have come from Co Dublin but two of them married Fannings from Wexford. (Do not know where in Wexford).
Felix McCann b1832-1903 m Kate Fanning b1841-1911 lived in Kingstown (Now Dun Laoghaire).
Also Patrick McCann m Margaret Fanning from Wexford 1885 living in Cournelscourt Dublin.
You never know there may be some link there, if not well good luck in trying to find your McCanns!

There was a carpenter named pat mc cann who had a workshop in the island road who used to live in st johns..I think that he had two sons.The shop was next to the boys club formerly the old CBS school. Your best bet would to try an notice in the local Enniscorthy papers i.e. The Enniscorthy Echo or The Enniscorthy Guardian with a contact number for people to get in touch with you. If you do this you may strike lucky, it may save you a lot of time. What have you got lose by doing so ?. Best of luck. John Whelan formerly of Island Road

Some weeks ago I got a postcard dated 1913 of a view of the Island Road showing a view across the river Slaney of Roches Maltings Stores then M.J. Whelans pub < where I was born> then The CBS school then the shop where Pat McCann had his work shop in the 1950s at the front of John Brynes yard the O Riellys house then the Stephens ? house Then the house of Sonny Grace the blacksmith then the River Lane The last 3 families lived in these 3 houses in the 1950s and 60s. Some time after the post card was photo was taken my Grandfather M. J.Whelan built a workshop on the riverbank and that was the end of this view of the Island road. If you or anybody else would like to have a picture of this you are well come to send me an e mail at * and I shall send you one

Im looking in to my great great grandfather Richard Mccann. In 1901 he lived in New Street and was a Tailor. His fathers name was Aidan but apart from that little is known.
I came across a Felix mccann in my research, i believe it was a marrage in a place called balinamona. His fathers name was hard to make out but it may have been Aidan, though maybe not. Ill try to find it again and post it if i can.

Is this his family in 1911 - tailor, New St? Pretty sure it must be.

Hello, i cant open the census link he is on new street though, must have been 1911 census, the 1901 census then hes on the ross road.
I have dog licence and petty court sessions going back to either 1887 or 1897 in enniscorthy when he was about 21 but before that ive no record as to where he came from.
I have the mariage cert which says his father was aidan but he was married in st aidans. Fathers name could possibly be fake.

That's a very long link!
Better to use the ShrinkLink facility in the dark brown box at the bottom of the page. See under Your Tools.

No i didnt. Thats my grandfather williams sister. Thank you.

This doesn’t help much but places him.
The Petty Sessions records have him in Enniscorthy from 1881. 2 records just show Enniscorthy for residence and then
1890 residence New Street
1901 residence Ross Road - as 1901 census.
This directory - 1885 https://www.libraryireland.com/genealogy/bassett/wexford/enniscorthy-alphabetical-directory.php
has no McCann names in the Aphabetical list but in the business section, has
John Kavanagh Tailor New Street.
What is his father’s occupation on the marriage record?
I can’t see a Wexford record anywhere for William Flack the witness.
I wonder if the parish record of the marriage might be more informative.
-
Going by other records i think he was born in 1860 meaning hes 21 in the earliest petty records, so im guessing hes not from enniscorthy. I hoped the origional poster of this thread might have said he was a cousin or brother of his mccanns but sadly not.
On the wedding cert hes described as a labourer.
Some of the older people in town say he may have had a northern accent and the only actual record i could find for an aidan mcann was a gravestone in fermanagh with just a name on it.
-
Looking into william flack, got several hits between 1850 - 1890 but all seem to be Northern based. Might be an interesting lead to follow. Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Patrick McCann from john street was my grandfather. He was married to Alice Casey, they weren’t originally from Enniscorthy
-
Where was he from? Maybe they are related
