  • Hello,

    I am still looking for family or descendants of Eleanora Bryan Usher and John Usher,married early 1800s. Her daughter Mary married Micheal Kenny. They lived in Fohenagh parish. I don't know names of any other siblings of Mary Usher who was my great great grandmother. I have found much on the Kenny family but nothing that connects the Bryan's or John Usher to the Eastwell Usher's although coming from that area it would seem there is a link.There are also Murray's in the records as well.

     I have checked  the East Galway records in Woodfords and the census and tithe applotment as well to no avail and have come to a brick wall. Here is hoping someone with knowledge of families in the area can help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Best regards,Pat Owen

  • Dear Pat

    I have spoken to our volunteer. Unfortunately he hasn?t been able to make any progress with your search. I think the best course of action is to keep gathering what information you can. New sources are becoming available all the time, particularly online, so you may be able to make a positive link at some point in the future.

    Let us know if you find anything further
