Brennan Families (and all Surname Variations) Identified in the 1851 Liverpool, Howard Sub Registration District, Lancashire, England and Research into their Irish Origins
It is clear that a significant number of the Irish Immigrants in Liverpool Lancashire originated from the Connaught areas of County Mayo and County Roscommon, Ireland. This may be the final destination for a few, a stop on the way to search for work for others and a starting point of a journey abroad for many more.
This compilation covers all Brennan families found in districts 1a-1y and the Boro Gaol of the Howard Subregistration district of the 1851 Liverpool Census.
Regarding the John and Mary Brannon Family on 3424 Ct Stewart Street: There is a baptismal record from St Anthony's Church in Liverpool for an Ann Brenan, daughter of John Brenan and Mary Ganon on January 11, 1849 (born January 1, 1849) that may or may not be their daughter Ann. There is also a baptismal record at the same church on March 27, 1851 for a John Brennan, son of John and Mary Brennan with sponsor James Gannon and Mary Brennan that could be Mary Ganon's relation and Mary Brennan may be John's sister, but that is a stretch until more info is obtained as John and Mary are quite common given Irish names.
