JANES & MACKEN

Hello from Minnesota!  I am searching for JANES and MACKEN surnames.

Francis JANES b abt 1822 married Mary Jane MACKEN who was born abt 1825. They married abt 1845. They emigrated to U.S. around 1850, settled in Staten Island in N.Y.C.  Had daughter Mary Jane abt 1847, possibly in Ireland. In the U.S. they attended an Episcopalian church. Francis JANES burial record from 1885 says his father's name was also Francis and his mother was Fanny.

I have searched Griffith's and the Tithe applottment records for JANES and MACKEN (and variant spellings including McCann). JANES are non-existent in Griffith's Valuation but appear in the Tithe Applottment inCounty Clare, as do MACKEN's.

James JANES is in the Tithe: Townland/Street of Deerpark, Parish of Moynoe.

No MACKEN's are living nearby, but are in Dysert and other more western parishes where I will also post.

Anyway, if anyone has any information about JANES and/or MACKEN's I would be eternally grateful!
