Irish
Records for Flannerys
associated with
Baltimore,
Maryland
Three known Flannery families emigrated to Baltimore, Maryland from two counties in
Ireland: County Tipperary and County Mayo. However, another node of Flannerys
found in Kiltullagh parish, County Galway, is of particular interest because of a
pattern of marriages between Flannerys and Burkes in that parish prior to
emigrating to Baltimore.
Key Irish Counties
County Tipperary
Two Flannery families, likely related, are known to originate in County
Tipperary. They are associated with three parishes: Nenagh (a large town
on the western edge of the county), Kilruane (a tiny townland about 5 km
from Nenagh) and Cloughjordan (a middling town north and east of Kilruane,
where a baptism for one Flannery of Baltimore is recorded).

History in Maps
County Mayo
One Flannery
family found in Baltimore in the 1850s, which may be more extensive than
currently known, originates in County Mayo. All records point to the
town of Castlebar (also known as Aglish parish). Transcribed
records for Castlebar
include:
County Galway
However, another node of Flannerys is
found in nearby Kiltullagh parish, of particular interest because of a
pattern of marriages between Flannerys and Burkes in that County Galway
parish.
This pattern persists in Baltimore, Maryland but no known County Galway
Flannerys have been identified.
