I have recently traced my line back to an ANNE NOWLAN baptised at Castledermot on 6 April 1811, dr. of JOHN NOWLAN and ANNE CAVANAGH. She appears to have had the following siblings - MARIA baptised 1802, ELIZABETH baptised 1806 (most likely died young) as another ELIZABETH baptised 1813 and GERARD baptised 1815.
If anyone knows more about these families it would be great to hear from them.
ANNE NOWLAN married TIMOTHY BREEN in 1837 at Castledermot. I have some information on this line, and of course, I am also researching the BREEN family. TIMOTHY was born about 1801 but I have nothing to say he was definitely born in Co.Kildare. TIMOTHY and ANNE BREEN went on to live near Blessington.
