|
|
My grandmother Catherine Brennan was born in Scramoge (Bunnygeddy is in this area). Her father was Luke Brennan and mother was Mary Rattigan (or Ratican). My grandmother's brothers were Rodger, Henry, Luke and John. This is according to the 1901 Irish census. Also, according to this census the head of the household was widower/farmer Rodger Brennan aged 76. Rodger's son Luke (40) and Rodger's Daughter-in-law Mary (27) also lived in the house along with their 5 children. Catherine (who later was known as Katie or Kate) was the oldest at 6 and John was the youngest at 1. My grandmother also had a sister named Mary Ann who was born after the census in 1903 or so in Bunnageddy, Scramoge. According to my mother, Catherine Brennan McVey Hanley Smith, my grandmother Catherine Brennan also had a brother named Joseph but nothing is known as to when he was born. My grandmother Catherine came to America in 1913 aged 19. John (22) and Mary Ann (20)came to America in 1922. Their final destination was my grandmother's house at 12 Edison Place (where my mother was born) in Brooklyn or Glendale, which was nearby.By this time my grandmother had married and was known as Kate McVey. My grandfather was Bernard McVey from Ballinamuck, Cnty Longford. Luke Brennan (23) arrived in America 1923 and lived, at one point with brother John who was now living at 136 Edison Avenue in Brooklyn (or was it Glendale?). As far as Joseph is concerned, either he was born just before or just after Mary Anne. Ellis Island records do not go beyond 1924 and since I cannot find him (from Bunnageddy or Scramoge) in any ship's manifest, I am assuming that he came to America after 1924. Finally, my grandmother died in 1926 at the age of 31. She was survived by her husband Bernard McVey and her 3 children Catherine McVey (my mother), Mary McVey and Bernard McVey Jr. My mother has mentioned that most of the Brennan's went back to Ireland but a couple stayed behind. She says that Joseph was one of them.Is there anyone who can add or respond to the history of this family?

I was in Ireland last summer and recorded some of the stones in the graveyard next to the church in Scramogue. The only Brennan I recorded was: Steven Brennan Kilmachnay died 21st January 1947 age 82 yrs his wife Mary died 17th September 1955 his sister Catherine Brennan died 17th May 1953 Gretta Brennan died 11th June 1989 Michael Brennan died 6th December 1993
Sorry, I can't say there weren't any others as I didn't record the entire cemetery. Recording in the rain became a challenge.
