These names do indeed come up:
James b. 1919
Elizabeth b. 1912
George b. 1921

These are clearly not the same three people as yours but they might well be cousins. Their father was James Brennan married to Annie (U)pritchard from Aghalee Co. Antrim, not far from lisburn so this is another similarity. Are you on Genes Reunited? if you are, I'll open my tree there and you can have a look for more info.
Have you checked out linen mills in Dervock? I know my Brennans moved to Belfast from Whitehead or Carrickfergus because of a move from one mill to another in Mashona Street (now gone but perpendicular to Lecumphre Street and Woodlee Street).

Zander,

If you find this Glenvarlock Street Robert Brennan is yours, let me know as I have a lot of information on the Brennans of this part of the Castlereagh Road/Beersbridge Road. Their ancestors were Co Antrim but not as far north as Dervock- Whitehead, Ballycarry, Islandmagee so this may be a coincidence.

Good luck,

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

I know that Ethel and Joe had a little boy Matthew a couple of years before Sylvia was born but he didn't survive, indeed Sylvia didn't know of his existence. Joe was born in Longford- his father Matthew was in the Royal Engineers later moved to work in Phoenix Park. Joe was a surveyor as was Ethel's Father, John Mann. This is the only information I know about John but will keep looking!

Thanks again,

Angela

Hello fellow Brennan Hunters!

I have several James Brennans in my tree- some from Carrick/Woodburn/Whitehead direction and later from East Belfast. I'd be happy to share any info required.

Dublin / Dublin Manns

Hi from a newbie!

I would love to hear anything about my great Grandmother Ethel Mary Mann (1887-1921). She married and died in Dublin and her only surviving child was only 5 when Ethel passed away.
All I know about her is that she was a Milner when young, her father was John Mann and her husband Joseph Huston Stokes.
Any information pertaining to this lady would be very gratefully received.

Many thanks.
