Patricks Grandchildren

This is Brian, (mum Jean), Alistair and Margaret McCann.
They are Eddie and Jeans children - Eddie was Patrick McCann's son. (Hope you are keeping up!)
So, they are my dads 2nd cousins (and Joe Curtis' 2nd cousins also)
It has been great hearing from you all.. Keep watching this space for more pics.

Jean Brennan

This is Eddie McCann, Jean Brennan (nee McCann), Agnes Don, David Don and the little boy we think is John Brennan.

Jean Brennan was William McCann and Jane Band's daughter. She was born in 1915, after her father was killed in WW1.
He full name was Jean Willamina Kerwin McCann. Kerwin was the name that William (&Patrick) used as their mothers maiden name - on their marriage certificates. Her name was Jane Carvin - Kerwin is thought to be the 'Irish' spelling of Carvin

Family Tree

Hello all.

Just a reminder of the change to the tree website:

James Street

The solidier kneeling is my Grandad - James Street. He was born in 1921 and was killed in Burma in May 1944.
He was in the Camerionians and was in the Chindit campaign. 

Max and Lisa McCann

This is my nephew, Maxwell David McCann (born April 29th 2004) with his mum, Lisa (nee Sansom). His dad is my brother Barry.
This is him on a day out to see Thomas the Tank Engine , at Bo'ness near Edinburgh. 

The 4 Generations

This is 4 generations of my Mums family.
The baby is James Street (1921 - 1944), my mums Dad.
The lady in the middle is his mother, Margaret Barr Telford Dalgleish (1900 - 1965). To the left is her mother Janet Fowler Peacock Bingham (1875 - 1960) and finally, holding James, is Janet's mother, Margaret Telford (1846 - 1927)

It is though that Margaret is related to Thomas Telford, the engineer.

Ardgillan Castle

This is Argillan Castle, near Balbriggan.
Thanks to some research by Joe Curtis, it seems that Jane McCann (Carvin) lived on the estate, as her father was the gardener for the house.

The cottage shown is the gardeners house, so this is where Jane lived with her parents before marrying Edward.

It is also quite interesting to note that Jane was born in Whitechapel, Middlesex and both her brothers (William & Charles) were born in London. It is also is possible that she named two of her sons after her brothers.

She then married David Findlay and became mother to Mary.
