Two different Hanrahan Families

Hi there,

Thank you very much for your query to Ireland Reaching Out. Could you please post your message on the parish profile page for Eyrecourt here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/eyrecourt-meelick-clonfert-galway

And the Kiltormer parish profile page here: http://www.irelandxo.com/group/kiltormer-galway

You could try looking for Michael and Anne in the land records called Griffith's Valuation (1848-64) for more information. The chances are, they lived in the Eyrecourt area, so that at least will give you a starting point.

Kind regards,

Sinead Cooney

Hi

Just to let you know. I have received a call from a lady with information for you. Please contact me at pkennedy@irelandxo.com.

Many Thanks

If this is any help, I have a few Hanrahans of Galway in my tree. A Frank Hanrahan married Kathleen McMahon and had a daughter Noreen Hanrahan. Kathleen McMahon, I believe was the daughter of James Noel McMahon who was the son of an unknown McMahon and Christina Loonam of Offaly County (born abt. 1893). This is sketchy but it may lead to something.

Hi David,

Frank Hanrahan was my uncle. He passed away just over 2 years ago. Allow me to fill you in with a few details. You have the gist of it but a few bits are wrong. Dont mean to offend just trying to help!

Kathleen is my aunt (still going strong, touch wood). My grandfather, her father, was Michael McMahon and he did marry Christina Loonam of Banagher Offaly. James Noel McMahon was my dad, Kathleen brother. Kathleen had another brother Michael and her sister, my aunt Noreen Cooney, is still with us. Therefore Noreen is Kathleen sister, not her daughter. Norren will get a kick out of hearing that! Kathleen and Frank never had children.

I know a lot about the McMahon and a fair bit about the Loonam trees and could ask Kathleen about the Hanrahans. I have met many of the Hanrahans at family events etc and they are a lovely family, from west Galway, not too far from Portunma.

If I can help anyone just let me know, I find this stuff really interesting also.

Cheers, Steve

I am also seeking information on Hanrahans in Galway.  The Hanrahan I am looking for is Anne Hanrahan who I think might be the sister of the Michael Hanrahan mentioned above as being married to Anne Goode.

The Ann Hanrahan I am looking for was married to Michael Heaney and I think there may be 7 children in that family.  From the ages of their children, Michael and Ann would have been born by the mid-1840's.  The birth records for those children list Eyrecourt and Garryduff as locations.  The possible children in that family (not certain of all of them) are Margaret, William, James, Ann, Martin, Denis, and perhaps Peter.  It is the daughter, Margaret Alice Heaney, who is my ancestor. She was born about 1870.  Margaret Alice immigrated to Boston in 1892 I think.  She married there in 1893 to John F. Sutton.  John F. Sutton was born 1863, and he may also have been from Galway.

Any information that anyone has for either Ann Hanrahan or her husband Michael Heaney would be greatly appreciated.
