Im trying to find the parish my great grandmother Anna Glynn grew up in.

Hello

There is a 6-year old Ann Kathleen Glynn listed on the 1901 Census born in Co. Sligo.

In 1911 she is aged 16

Father Patrick,  Mother Anna - married 24 years in 1911.

Do you have any way of finding out if  these are your ancestors, even a townland or family story that could connect them to this place in Co. Sligo?

Regards

Mrs Doyle

Hi Mrs Doyle, thank you for your assistance in finding Anna Glynn, however we discovered in the meantime that her middle name started with M instead of K; therefore Anna Kathleen Glynn is most likely not the Anna I am looking for, so unfortunately I have no definite information about if she was born in Ireland or here in the USA. According to family members she came from Co. Mayo

This is the verified information I have so far:

Anna M Glynn est birth 1896, married to John James Nolan (born Feb 6 1896 Blacklion, county Cavan)
They married in the USA est 1920-1922
Children:
Patrick Francis Nolan born 1922
John Nolan born 1924
William Nolan born 1926
Thomas Nolan born 1928
Rita Nolan born 1929
Marilyn Nolan born 1931 also called Mary

My guess is the Anna M Glynn's middle name could be either Mary or Marilyn                                                                                     Thank you! :-)                                                                             Francis John Nolan 

Well that's a pity. There are only 9 Anna Glynns on the 1901 Census and none in Co. Mayo but the  Lisbaleely townland isn't awfully far from Co. Mayo, so we'll have to put our thinking caps on. Without her father's name though it would be very difficult to say for sure what Glynns listed (if any are recorded) in the Tithe Applot or Griffith's Valuation are related to Anna. What docs do you have that lead you to believe she was Anna M?

Mrs Doyle

Here is the link to Annie Glynn Ellisisland for the approx. details you give. A number of them are from Co. Mayo.

Do you know where she travelled to in the U.S.A.

Here is the document Anna Glynn signed with her married name as Anna M. Nolan. Thats why we assume her middle name starts with the letter M. Also I attached the image document which shows the nature of my great grandfather John James Nolan's death.

The reason why my great grandmother Anna seems to be a mystery is because were not sure if she met my great grandfather John James Nolan before he immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland in the year 1916 or after. From the information we have we think its possible that my grandparents got married in New Jersey.

There was a 5 year old Annie Glynn in Eskerlevally. As her father's name was James, I'd probably be more convinced if one of her sons had that name. The parish is Kilcolman.

You might also take a look on this website for 1901 census for some other possibilities.  The search results are a bit easier to navigate than the National Archives site.
