what to do now ?
« on: Friday 06 April 12 22:52 BST (UK) »
Can anyone tell me where to go from here please. I am looking for info on my gg grandfather John Brennan who was a carpenter.

The info I have about him so far is:

He is named on my ggrandfather Richard Brennans marriage certificate from 1877 in navan

I contacted the RC church and got a copy of a marriage cert for a John Brennan and Bridget Fox in 1855 whom I believed to be them. But because it is a

preset form, there is no info on the parents of the above couple nor whether either were widowed.  I have also got baptism certs for children of theirs from the 1860s but Richard my ggrandfather whom i believe was born 1855- 1858 is not among them.

I then discovered that a John Brennan (carpenter) married a Margaret Renshaw in Slane (coi) in 1852 with his Fathers name as Michael. They also had Children.

I have searched the records and cannot find a birth cert  for Richard Brennan with Father as John. As a result I am unable to progress with this tree. If anyone can point me the right direction I would be very greatful as I have beeN going round in circles for months with this one.

Regards Brennan1
