Hi Miriam...Thanks so much for all of the information.  My grandfather's name was Henry Harrison Burnett. The big problem I have is that there are quite a few Harrisons and a couple of Henrys....like Harrison who died in 1896 was born in 1816. I doubt he is my grandmother's father....I have tracked his marriages and children and there is no Ann.

What I did find in the records on Rootsireland is one baptism record for a Margaret Burnett..baptized 16 Sep 1865 in Kilronan Parish. The father is listed as Henry Burnett and the mother says "Not recorded Regan". This is driving me crazy because it is the only record in 20 years that I have found with Henry Burnett and "Regan". I know Annie J. Burnett was brought up Protestant. I'm wondering if her mother died and her father brought her up Protestant?  I did find a marriage record in Roscommon for Henry Burnett and Anne Jane Johnston but they were married in 1868 after my grandmother would have been born.  Then there's a Henry "Harry" Burnett born 1817 in Roscommon who could be her father but I can't find any other info on him other than he died in 1888. I thank you so much for the time you have spent on this...I truly appreciate it....

Hi Roger,

Thank you so much for your time and effort. I have a one month's subscription to Rootsireland and have been combing their records diligently. I've found so many pieces to the puzzle but can't put them together because I can't corrobrate the information. My mother who lived with my great grandmother, Annie Burnett, said Annie told her that her mother's maiden name was Regan and her father was Henry Harrison Burnett. I can't find a Henry Harrison Burnett....I find Henry and I find Harrison....and the only birth record I find with Burnett and Regan is for a Margaret Burnett baptized in Roscommon 16 Sept 1865 and there's no birth date on the record and no first name of the mother, just "Regan". So, I continue to try and piece the info I have and search for me. I truly appreciate your help. Thank you!
