Title: Fagan
Post by: smudger28 on Monday 07 February 05 19:13 GMT (UK)

Hi Guys

I hope you can help.  I'm looking for a birth reference for a Jane Fagan born 1899 County Meath.

Or maybe a census return for 1901, I think she was one of about 12.

I'm sorry I don't have an area to go on.

Thankyou

Paul

Hiya Paul,

 Griffith's Valuation  (http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php) of Co. Meath took place in 1855 and lists quite a large number of people named Fagan.

Have you looked at the  Meath Census  (http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/ashbourne/townlandlist.html) thread on this board?

I have Meath Fagans in my family; the Cruicetown cemetery records (on line) show a few Fagans, and my own family come from there. Anne Fagan was my g-grandmother (1840/50s-1929), and she had siblings; Monsignor Pat Fagan, Catherine (Gilmore) and Mary (Kearney).
