Looking for any documented information on Hugh Flanagan, b. about 1800-1805. I have some information in Tuam, Gurtlough, Carrowhekeen, Oughterard, and suspect that his family lived in Ballinakill near the turn of the 19th century, as I suspect that his father is Hugh or Hugo, and may have a brother John, as his son was named John. He married Sarah Joyce, who I also suspect had a brother named Thomas Joyce, who married a Bridget, and immigrated to USA, Ohio. Hugh's son John also immigrated to Ohio.
Any information would be geatly appreciated.

Hi Susan
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out and apologies for the delay!
I take it you have already tried rootsireland or family search or ancestry to find out more about Hugh and his family?
Best wishes

Greeting Susan,
Perhaps this information will be of help? My GG Grandmother was Bridget Flanagan. She was the daughter of Hugh Flanagan, a farmer from Rusheen.This information was obtained from the marriage record of Patrick Morrin to Bridget Flanagan 12-Feb-1866 Parish:CLONBUR 1 Register:2, Page22.
Bridget was 25 at the time of the marriage which could put Hugh in the time frame 1800 +/- 5.
Good luck with your search.

Thank you Debora, Not sure if it could be the same family, but I will check on it. I do not know of any other siblings to my G Grandfather other than a sister Ann, who married a Friel.
And Clare, I have checked rootsireland, family search and ancestry. Have some data.
Thanks everyone,
Susan
