Fanning

My grandmother was friendly all her life with a lady whose married name was Fanning.  She was from Co Laois but ended up in Liverpool where I believe some of her family still live.

If you think this may be any connection I can look up the details when I have a minute.

hello Maria.smyth thank you for replying, i don't know if this Lady as any connection as i don't know any details about the family in Ireland except what i 've put on my thread but if you could have a look at this connection when you have a minute  i would be really grateful. thank you Pauline

               I reckon Brodeen Cottages is on Cashel Rd, Tipperary see Google Maps.

               Anthony Fanning married a Bridget O'Brien in 1902 in Tipperary. See www.rootsireland.ie. Its a pay site.

Hi Seamus, thanks for the info i went on google maps and saw where the cottages are and i think you are right about the name of the street i could only go by what was on the casualty sheet,  i've also been on rootsireland and got the cert from there and i think it is the right one. Anthony was a serving soldier and his father was called John Fanning the only difference they say his father was a tailor but he was a sailor ( think there as been a translation error here ) and he married Bridget O'Brian from Spittal Tipperary and her father was called Thomas O'Brian a hore trainer. I am now wondering what happened to her or if they had any children. you get 1 question answered and it leaves a few more but that is the fun of Family History. Well thank you once again for your help
