Hi my name is Ron Lanning and i'm from New Zealand my GGGGrandfather is named William Lannin his occupation on one of his Sons Wedding Cert was Labourer,my GGGrandparents are Nathaniel Lannin ( Born circa 1819 ) who Married Margaret Mahoney( Born circa 1826) in 1846 at St Finbarrs Cathedral in Cork City , Nathaniels occupation was also Labourer , Margarets parents were James Mahoney and i think Margaret Russell who had a number of Children Baptised there in Cork City . Typically things aren't straightforward !, i have found a Nathaniel Lannin Born around that date in Schull but according to the records his Father is Nathaniel and a witness to the Birth is William Lannin !,of course confusion there is possible but who knows .There have been for sometime Lannin's in the townland of Skeagh which is my current speculation for the place of living for my Ancestors.My GGGrandparents left Ireland in 1846 travelled around Southern England and ended up in Cornwall,England in 1852 where my GGrandparents James Lannin and Catherine Gould left in 1873 to end up here in New Zealand in 1874.
