Sligo / Re: Greer family of Leaffoney, County Sligo
« on: Friday 06 July 07 02:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi Alison,
I don't know who Michael's parents were.  It may have been John Greer, who was listed with Michael and William Greer in the Tithe Applotment records.  I have't found a birth record for him yet.  Michael was a farmer in Leaffoney. 
While searching, I did find some death registrations for a Greer family that was stationed in Enniscrone at the coastguard station there.  Elizabeth (53), wife of Robert Greer a coastguard pensioner, died December 16, 1897.  Fanny E. (14), daughter of Robert Greer, died Mar 21, 1897.  Robert Greer (61), a coast guard pensioner, died Sept 26, 1900, and Alfred Greer (14), son of Robert Greer, died Oct 6, 1900.  The last two were witnessed/reported by Robert and Elizabeth's daughter Louisa Greer.  This was all in Enniscrone, Castleconnor district, Dromore West Union, County Sligo.
I don't believe this family is related, but who knows?

Sligo / Greer family of Leaffoney, County Sligo

Hello, I'm new at this so be kind.
My great great grandfather was Michael/Mitchell Greer of Leaffoney, County Sligo.  His daughter Fanny (1850's) married Mark Martin in Kilglass in 1872 and they lived at the Pullaheney coastguard station.  One of their many children was my grandmother, Matilda (Tillie) Martin who was born in 1885.  I know that Michael was alive in 1876 as he was present at the birth of Mark and Fanny's son George Thomas. 
He may have been buried at the Kilglass Church as they were Church of Ireland.

Thanks
