BRENNAN MULLIGAN MOUNTJOY NORTHEY BOLAND HOOPER MARTIN O'NEILL HOME

The Brennans I am descended from came from Carrane, Ballina, in Country Sligo Ireland. My grandfather Patrick Brennan (born in 1870) came to Australia around 1890 and settled in Western Australia. He was a teacher and taught for many years in country towns. He met his wife Lucy Mountjoy in Gin Gin, a town not far from Perth in Western Australia. They had 13 children, 11 of whom survived infancy.

Patrick Brennan was one of ten children born in Sligo. All but two of his siblings emigrated to America, Canada, England and France. His brother John and sister Mary remained in Ireland and did not marry. The farm the family grew up on is still run by cousins of my grandfather. 

If you are descended from any of his brothers or sisters who emigrated I would love to hear from you. Listed below are the ancestors I have traced back to the late 1700's. (I have labelled my direct ancestors.)

If you can fill in any more details on any Brennans listed please contact me at BOLAND-L@rootsweb.com

I would like to thank a Brennan descendant, Father Sweeney of Mayo, Ireland for his invaluable help in gathering this information.
