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.

Thank you all
my James Brennan Kirkpatrick was born in 1885 to Thomas and Elizabeth Kirkpatrick nee McIlhennie.
Found them on the 1901 census in the Grange of Doagh but James was not with them only David and Charles his brothers.
My family with out fail always named the children after relatives even up to the 1960's........
So I do believe that I have a relative called James Brennan (he could be called after a" great grandfather" much like his brother "Charles Marshall" )

Any help will be most welcome

Hello again Steve, Couldn't post photo's but I forgot to mention, it's thought that Thomas came from Kilkenny, his father was also Thomas Brennan a Land Steward from a large farm estate in Kilkenny and also thought Thomas had a brother in the priesthood. Regards Jackie.

Hello again Steve,
It's odd I posted you rather a long message re McElhinney/Brennan connections but it does not appear to have shown up. I have to go out but will get back. My Brennan/ McElhinney connection originates in Lifford/Raphoe and Strabane. Regards Jackie
