Hi Joy,

We need to look at what you have first befoe jumping to the John in Croom. It is unlikely that he is your John but always a possibilty.

Hi Maresa, Thank you for replying. My brick wall is John Neylan and Ellen killeen- no definiete birth or marriage records and don't know if they emigrated as well as Francis and Patrick. Also unsure of Anne and Mary -what happened to them. I have definite info on Francis and Patrick in Australia.

John Neylan ( Neilan, Nealon, Neylon) haven't found birth record -possible but not sure

Baptism 8 Jul 1805 • Boyle, Roscommon, Ireland

Ellen Killeen -some people suggest she may have been the daughter of Patrick Killeen who died 22 Jan 1828 • Coore, Mullagh, County Clare, Ireland and Nancy Whyte  died 1828 • Coore, Mullagh, County Clare, Ireland.  I have some DNA links to descendents of Mary Killeen who they think is the daughter of the previously mentioned pair.

Birth of Son Francis Neilan or Neylan (O'Brien)(1838–1878) Milton Malbay, Killaloe, Clare, Ireland Cluain at end. Cluain Lao is Irish for Clonlea. He is my gggrandfather emigrated to aust in1857 -goal records gave ship, he came with a John Neylon  who was 40?- so didn't know whether this was his father or cousin? Couldn't trace John in Aust. Francis featured in the newspapers as he awas an aspiring politician- didn't make it but had a good go - got caught in an alcohol trap after his wife died. I haven't found his death certificate. He randomly added O'Brian to his name when he felt like it.
