Hi everyone! hope all of you are good
After looking for about my great grandmother Elisa Brennan, I have finally found the death record of her, here in Buenos Aires, were it says who were her parents, so, now Im trying to reach out of family that still living in the area, of any information that anyone can give me
the family, as far as I found, are these
Timothy Brennan ( father)
Ann Parker (mother).....married at Rathowen,Westmeath 18feb1847
they are the parents of:
-Jane Brennan born 1848
-Thomas Brennan born 1849
-Patrick Brennan born 1851
-Elisa Brennan born 1854 , - my great grandmother
-John Brennan born 1855 ( he came with Elisa to Argentina)
-James Brennan born 1857
-Timothy Brennan born 1859
-Anne Brennan born 1861
-Terence Brennan born 1864
-Daniel Brennan born 1866
-Michael Brennan born 1868
all the baptism records I´ve found ,are from Multyfarnham, Westmeath
I also have the census record of Anne and her daughter Anne, in the 1901 census..and her death record

Diana,
Griffith's Valuation - www.askaboutireland.ie has a record of a Timothy Brennan in the townland of Cullenhugh and a Timothy Brennan in the townland of Walshestown North. Both are in the Poor Law Union of Mullingar. Records attached.
The surname Parker is in various parts of the County Westmeath.

Further Information on Brennan/Parker:
Baptismal sponsor for Jane Brennan in 1848 was and Elizabeth Parker. Possibly Ann's mother? Baptismal sponsor for James was a Thomas Eustace;
Baptismal sponsors for Timothy in 1859 were Michael and Mary Eustace.
There was a Daniel Parker in Rusagh (Russah) who may have been Ann's father? See attached re church contributions.
Population records for the various parishes will show the number of people and houses in each townland for 1851, with a corresponding record for 1841.
Most of the family records were destroyed in a fire!
I do not have any connection with this locality. Hopefully there will be a response from somebody in the area.
Rathowen-Rathaspick are South of the town of Edgeworthstown, County Longford.
Regards,
McCoy

I will contact our volunteer for Multyfarnham. We are limited in what we can do if there are living Brennans in the area. McCoy has provided a lot of good info on your family. Have you considered a DNA test? You may match with 3rd cousins who are living in the USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland etc.

I just noticed that Anne Brennan married a Thomas Kearney from Killasalla? Co. Longford in June 1901 see third record

Thomas and Anne were still in Cullenhugh in 1911. Her brother Patrick was also in the household.

WOW... I don't even know where to start... You have given me a lot of information, which I have to analyze, and a lot of sources.
On the DNA, I definitely will, one of these days, sooner rather than later.
So, thanks to each one of you, for taking your time and delivering such data!!!!!!!Diana O'Higgins
