Finan Family
« on: Monday 06 January 25 08:11 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I have found that my great-great-grandfathers sister married a Finan

Her name was Mary Anna Farrell (MAY 1843 Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland - 7 SEP 1914 Castlerea, Co Roscommon, Ireland) she married on 22 JAN 1863 in Loughglynn, Roscommon, Ireland to Martin Finan (1841 Castlerea, Roscommon, Ireland - NOV 1922 Cloonsuck, Castlerea, Roscommon, Ireland)

I am wondering if someone can help me found out if they had any children and if they did have children then did any of them marry and have children themselves.

There is a published tree for the family with several children but i am not sure if there is a mix with the other family.
How sure are you that it is your relative?
In some records Finan/Farrell records that I can see, the mother is Mary or Maria not Mary Anne.

Here is the marriage of Martin Finan and Ann Finan (scant detail) on 21st January 1864, Loughglynn.
 This seems to be mixed up with your Finan/Farrell records

Drogheda in Co. Louth is about 105 miles from Castlerea in Co. Roscommon which was more than a considerable distance in mid-1800s.

I second this. I would not believe that this is OP's relative absent some other proof of a link.

I have doing my family tree on many sites and for this Mary Anna Farrell I am geting hints that she married a Martin Finan, along with other peoples tree's they say the same thing as me born in Drogheda and died in Castlerea, Co Roscommon, Ireland.

Her parents are down as Peter Farrell (July 1816 Athboy, Co. Meath, Ireland - 14 Feb 1879 Black Bull, Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland) & Catherine Murray (1815 Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland - ???)

On some people's family tree they have Mary Anna Farrell place of birth down as Castlerea, Co Roscommon, Ireland, but her parents are the same.

If you check those trees, they are combining  records of Martin Finan - spouse Anne Finan and Martin Finan and Mary Farrell.
People often just find a record and use it with no corroborative evidence.
I haven’t seen Mary referred to as Mary Ann Farrell.

If you look at 1901 census, there are two MF’s in Cloonsuck. There is one with daughter in law Mary who is likely to be the one who reports the deaths of Martin and Ann.
