Brennan and Corcoran Families (and all Surname Variations) from the Townlands of Sroove and Falleens, Kilcolman Civil Parish, County Sligo, Ireland in the Ballaghaderreen Church, Ireland Census, Griffith's Valuation and other Records
Falleens was composed of 433 acres and Sroove of 1,670 acres when the Griffith's Valuation was conducted in 1858. Falleens is slightly less than 2 km northeast of Sroove and Sroove is about 1.8 km northeast of Monasterredan, another Townland in Kilcolman Civil Parish, County Sligo with Corcoran Families.
Sroove was part of Coolavin Electoral Division when the 1901 Ireland Census and appears to have changed to Gurteen Electoral Division when the 1911 Ireland census was conducted. The Sroove 1901 Ireland census had 3 Corcoran families as did the 1911 Census. Falleens was part of Coolavin Electoral Division in 1901 and Gurteen Electoral Division in 1911. There was one Corcoran Household (with two Brennan Nieces) in the 1901 Falleens Census and none in 1911.
There were no Brennan or Corcoran parcel occupiers documented in the Falleens, Kilcolman Civil Parish, County Sligo Griffith's Valuation, but there were three different Corcorans identified as occupiers in the Sroove, Kilcolman Civil Parish Griffith's Valuation. They included Patrick Corcoran, Senior, Patrick Corcoran and Michael Corcoran.
Please contact me if you feel your Corcoran or Brennan ancestors (or any of the surname variations) may have been from the Sroove, Falleens or the general area around Ballaghaderreen and Monasterreden, so that we can put the pieces of the puzzles together. It is clear after researching the Irish microfilm for several years that the vast majority of Irish families in the mid 19th century were large, often as many as 8-10 kids. Somewhere out there are descendents of our Irish ancestor's siblings researching their individual branch of the tree. Working together we will all get our trees back further!
This is a work in progress and will be added to over time as I uncover other records to add to this compilation.
