Hi, just wondering if your Thomas Scanlan ever lived in Liverpool? I am trying to track down my family tree and have details of my grandparents - Thomas and Margaret Scanlan who lived in Liverpool in 1924.

Regards

Anne

I may be related Margaret, Hannah, and James Scanlan of the Town of Ballylongford. My GGGGmother was Catherine Scanlan. Her mother is believed to be Margaret Scanlan. Catherine married Thomas Culhane about 1828. Thomas, Catherine and their eight children immigrated to Natchez, Mississippi Dec. 1850. Next to the tombstones of Thomas and Catherine (Scanlan) Culhane is a headstone for Cornelius Scanlan-died July 18, 1854, age 28 years. old. Also, I have a copy of a Natchez, MS marriage certificate between Cornelius Scanlan and Margaret Culhon (sp) dated 11 April, 1852. I believe our Cornelius Scanlan and Margaret Culhon (sp). of Natchez, MS may be the same Cornelius Scanlan and Margaret Culhane of Kilcolgan Lower (they appear to live close to each other in Griffiths Valuation Dec. 1851). Finding the ages of Cornelius and Margaret of Kilcolgan Lower (Townland) could solve this issue. Would like to share any Scanlan/Culhane of County Kerry information. Thanks, Harry Smith

Harry,
I found an IGI record for a 31 Jan 1809 marriage of a Cornelius Scanlan and Margaret Cournane in the Aghavallen Registration District, probably Ballylongford Town. The date agrees with my GGGfather Tom's birth about 1809 so I suspect the couple are his parents; his father was a Cornelius. My Shanagolden cousin claims a Culhane or Cournane married into the family around that time. How do I contact you to discuss more detail? I'm at ***
