Nicholas Mccann
« on: Saturday 14 November 15 18:48 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I was looking for more information on a Nicholas McCann. He was born in 1829 around Armagh. He married a Elizabeth Mccann on Dec 10, 1852 in Seagoe ,Arm, Ireland. They had 2 daughters Elizabeth born Jan 19, 1867 and Rachel July 10th 1864. I have not been able to find any information on that spouse or those children aside from birth record. He then remarried Letita Rodgers McCann in 1868. Then they had 7 children. Nicholas father was also a Nicholas. I've tried ancestry and several other websites. I'm looking for Nicholas birthday and death and his parents/siblings. I have not been able to find him on any of the Ireland census but I know they had a son Isac Mccann in 1897/1898 which shows up on the 1901 census. Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.

Civil registration of births started in 1864 so there were likely some children born between the 1852 marriage and 1863 but you'd need to search for baptismal records.

For reference-
1852 marriage (Protestant or Registry Office)- https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FG6X-VFC
   Rachel (1864) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F523-X6D
   Elizabeth (1867) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F55V-2QH
1868 marriage- https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGZT-57J

   Hannah Jane (1873) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F5J6-BLX
   Mary (1875) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FR3G-YGS

Isaac born 1897/98 is unlikely to be Nicholas' son, some 30 years after the marriage of the parents.

Freeholder Records show a Nicholas McCann in 1830 in Ballyhanon (sic), Co. Armagh. There is also a Henry McCann noted in the same place at the same time.

This might be Nicholas Sr's death:

Name: Nicholas McCann
Estimated birth year: abt 1795
Date of Registration: 1869
Death Age: 74
Registration district: Lurgan
Volume: 6
Page: 571
FHL Film Number: 101584

Griffiths Valuation (taken about 1864 in Co. Armagh) show the two possibilities (likely father and son):

Occupier: Nicholas M'Cann
Lessor: Stewart Blacker
County: Armagh
Barony: Oneilland, East
Parish: Seagoe
Townland: Ballyhannon
OS Page Numbers: 10


Occupier: Nicholas M'Cann
Lessor: Anne Jennett
County: Armagh
Barony: Oneilland, East
Parish: Seagoe
Townland: Breagh
OS Page Numbers: 10

Also a sublet of note:

Occupier: John M'Cann
Lessor: Nicholas M'Cann
County: Armagh
Barony: Oneilland, East
Parish: Seagoe
Townland: Ballyhannon
OS Page Numbers: 10

Henry also appears in the Revision Books when his land was taken over by Simon Somerville in the first revision in 1875.  There are numerous revisions to the McCann properties in Ballyhannon that are too difficult to list here, so suggest you have a look for yourself at the PRONI website.
