Good Morning to You,
Sorry, but we don't have much but here it is:
SOURCE-CHRISTENING:
Vital Records Indexes Christening Records FHL #989748 dates 1837-1880 recorded in Roman Catholic Church, Roscommon and Kilteevan, Roscommon, Ireland sent by e-mail by Gus Ellis in Los Angeles <ajandme@apc.net> 12 Jan 2000.
DEVANY, Annam - Female; Christening Date: 5 May 1844; Father: Michaelis Devany; Mother: Bridgeddae Hanly.
SOURCE-BAPTISM:
Copy of Roscommon-Kilteevan Parish Register page sent by John Sullivan.
"Ann Devany born [baptized] 5 May 1844."
SOURCE-CHILDREN:
Information dated June 1998 from John Sullivan.
"Michael Devany ID 7264 and Bridget Hanly ID 7265 had a large family; we don't know how large. As the baptism register from the Roscommon-Kilteevan Parish begins in 1837, we don't know how many children they had before 1837.
-?Martin, 1830? See Notes on Martin Devany ID 7267.
-?Elizabeth, mother of Richard Shea, born abt 1832. Per John Sullivan's letter and notes of 22 Aug 2000 on our Family Group Sheet for Henry Devany ID 7441 and his cover letter:
"Tom Devaney of Queens, New York, said that his father, John Devany, was SECOND cousin to Richard Shea. That means they were children of COUSINS. Therefore Elizabeth Devany and Michael Devany were NOT siblings, they were COUSINS. That means that Elizabeth Devany was the daughter of Henry Devany and Bridget Corcoran, not Michael Devany and Bridget Hanly."
-Daniel, 1836, emigrated to America in 1857. Operated tannery in St. Louis.
-Michael, 1838.
-Catherine, 1841, lived in Ireland into the 20th Century.
-Ann, 1844.
-John, 1849, to America 1872. Worked at tannery in St. Louis."
SOURCE-RECAP OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS:
Letter dated 28 Oct 1999 from John Sullivan.
"To recap: of the children in the family,
-Martin and Michael lived at Cloonlaur,
-Daniel and John Henry went to St. Louis,
-Catherine lived at Dublin,
-Elizabeth married Patrick Shea and lived in County Longford. [See Notes for Elizabeth ID 7323. She is now in the Henry and Bridget Corcoran Devany family per John Sullivan's letter dated 22 Aug 2000.]
-I know nothing about Ann; perhaps she did not survive childhood.
There was a severe famine in the 1840s and it hit County Roscommon especially hard. I believe that Roscommon was the only county that lost more than 40% of its population to the famine. Your grandfather was born at a very bad time."
