I have a relative, Philip Brennan (I have seen other spellings also). I will be vacationing in Ireland September 2023 and am hoping to connect with anything related to Philip.  Thru Ancestory.com and the EPIC museum in Dublin and other research, I have located a few items that may lead to my relatives.  If you have any feedback on the items listed below, I would appreciate a response.  Also, if you have suggestions on other places to look that would be great too.  

We have located on Griffith's Valuation a location in Shesharoe  "5 a",a 55 acre farm that he owned.  The Map accompanying it shows the numbers for other parcels of land, but "5 a " is not listed.  

by comparing maps from the old Griffith's Valuation and today's google maps and google earth, the property appears to sit just north and west of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Much of that area still seems to be farm land.  I’m wondering how I can find out who owns the property now, or how I could determine what acreage was owned by Philip Brennan. 

Death of Philip Brennan 1873 Sesharoe

 

We also know that Philip and his wife, Honora Kerekan had a daughter, Anne Brennan in 1836.  She is my 2nd great-grandmother.  We have her baptismal record below.  I was hoping to find the church she was baptized in.  Would anyone in the group have contact with the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and know how I could research this?

  • Bob:

    I approved your Ancestor posting for Philip Brennan. I also copied the message and made a new message on our message board. That will allow all of our volunteers to see your message and possibly assist you.

    Also, if you have not done so already, could you fill out this form     https://www.irelandxo.com/meet-and-greet                              regarding your trip to Ireland. I don't know if we have a volunteer in that area of Tipperary.
