they were not related as far as i know.. i want to find out about wexford town at the time and byrnes lane and the people that lived there or maybe even photographs.. and about nicholas brennan himself not the howlins or moores who are his wifes people.. i want to find out about the brennans,,,

I have to agree with aghadowey on pointing to your earlier post. In my opinion they are both related.

If you want to know about the Brennans in Wexford why do you mention Baldoyle, Dublin in this post? I could tell you something about that but I fear it might not be welcome since you only want to know about the time Nicholas lived in Byrne's Lane.

I don't get it.

The previous post conflicts with the details you've posted here-
My grand father Michael Brennan was born in Parnell street in wexford.. His father was Nicholas Brennan, I do not know where he was born.. or his mother and fathers name..  but i know quite a bit about him.. He was a coast guard in Arklow and died in 1908.. but i know little about where he was born etc.. Nicholas Brennans wife was Catherine Moore.. Her mother and fathers names where Catherine Howlin and James Moore.. I have Catherine Moore baptism cert.. she was baptised in 1855 but does not say where just says wexford on the cert.. does not mention birth date or place... so i gather they all came from wexford... can anyone help me at all i have come up against a brick wall...

sorry my mistake... i found out some information .. parnell street was wrong when i got birth cert michael brennan was born in byrne s lane... and nicholas brennan was married to catherine moore sorry... her mothers name was catherine howlin moore... my mistake.. but the rest is right and he did work in wexford baldoyle and arklow as a coast guard.. i mentioned baldoyle and arklow as he worked there too whats the problem with mentioning that i cant see why i wouldnt mention other things about him i know..
what s the problem with wanting to know what wexford was like at the time.. byrnes lane.. or see photos if anyone has any .. i have the details birth certs and all i just want to know about the man and the place.. cant see the problem...

Do you know if they were related to Anastasia Brennan, i believe she was born in 1891 but married into the O'Brien Family? She also had a sister Mary Brennan who owned a sweet shop on Bright street in Wexford.

It would be Bride not Bright Street.
