Query Text: |
I'm looking for further information about the family of Henry Breen and Isabella Riddell of Drumard (Jones) and Clonroot, Kilmore Parish, County Armagh, Ireland. Henry would have been born about 1805, possibly in Clonroot. In my father's records, which I've been cataloguing, I discovered the following information regarding this family The more specific address for this Breen Family is: Townland - Drumard (Jones) (also found at times in Clonroot) Parish - Kilmore Barony - Oneilland West County - Armagh Province - Ulster Country - Ireland Religious Affiliation - Church of Ireland There has been found a baptismal record for a Henry Breen in Clonroot that gives parantage for Henry as Ed Breen and wife Martha (UNK). No marriage record has been found in Kilmore Parish for Henry and Isabella, but that probably means Isabella was from a different area or possibly not Church of Ireland originally. Marriages usually take place at the wife's home church. Based on the Baptismal Records of Kilmore Parish, these are the Children of Henry and Isabella. This is the first release of this information outside of my immediate family that I am aware and I'm hoping it will generate some responses and more information. The location of Henry and Isabella for all these births/baptisms is Drumard (Jones) which is a 221 acre townland so the chances of there being another such couple at the same time is practically non-existant. William Breen - 2 May 1836 Jones Preston Breen - 19 Jan 1839 Elizabeth Breen - 1 Jan 1841 (note: there is another Elizabeth sibling which probably indicates this Elizabeth died young. It was common in Ireland for a deceased sibling's name to be reused.) Joseph Breen - 11 Jan 1843 Mary Ann Breen - 14 Aug 1845 Elizabeth Breen - 10 May 1848 (see above note on Elizabeth) John Breen - 2 Sep 1850 Henry Breen - 14 Dec 1856 Isabella Breen - 1858 (She was baptized in 1873 and the record doesn't give additional information) I'm excited about this additional information. I can give very detailed information of the lines of descent for William Breen and Mary Ann Breen (who married Joseph McFadden in New Hampshire USA and then moved to Essex County Ontario, where William Breen and family were established. ) I believe Isabella married a James Reid. Beyond that, I'm at a loss. The occupation for William and his father Henry were Weavers. I know the linen weaving industry near Rich Hill took a hit due to the railroad and industrialization of some of the processes. The Breen's probably dispersed from the area as they came of age. William left for Canada in 1868 and brought Annie and family over in 1871. Mary Ann left about the same time and was in New Hampshire for a while. I'm looking forward to compiling more information on my family (William was my ggGrandfather.) Please reply to this thread or contact me directly. Regards, Bart Breen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
