Records show that Patrick Flanagan of Williamstown Townland married Margaret Bride of Williamstown Townland on January 30, 1870 in Kilsaran Roman Catholic Church. The witnesses were James Higgins and Anne Bride. The family grew to have seven children: Mary, Bridget, Nicholas, Catherine, Anne, Ellen, Elizabeth, and Patrick . Catherine remained in Ireland and married Peter Quinn - they settled in Dundalk. Margaret Flanagan died in 1899 and is buried in the cemetery at Kilsaran Catholic Church. Margaret's father, Bernard Bride, is also buried in this cemetery. In the 1901 census, Patrick Flanagan (father) lived with his daughter Ellen in a house located in Greenmount Townland. Patrick was 50 years old and his daughter was 18 at the time. All members of the family except for Catherine, emigrated to the United States in the late 1800's thru 1908.
I am the grandson of Ellen Flanagan and I am in search of anyone related to this family and/or any information regarding this family.
