I had info on Patrick's91760) son Martin c1790 and his wife Anastasia Griffen passed on to me, they were in Swiftsheath Kilkenny. Martin's son Patrick married Bridget Farrell and came to Australia of which I have docs, ship, arrival etc and many of the Lannan family here. I was born a Lannan and Patrick and Bridget are my ggparents.
I have traced another of Pat snrs sons Michael who I believe went to Canada/USA.

I also have Griffiths Land Valuations placing Martin, Michael and Pat jnr in Swiftsheath.

Bridget Farrell's father was Martin and mother Anastasia, yes same names!
I believe Bridget's mother was a Breen from Co Carlow. Martin was a renowned bonesetter and smithy, he died at 110 (from a news paper cutting)
They are all RC.
