Miscellaneous Flanagans
John Flanagan of Kilnamanagh, Co.Dublin, seems to be related:
-
John Flanagan,
listed in
[Griffiths Valuation, 1847-50]
as occupying
plot 5, Greenhills road, Kilnamanagh, Tallaght parish
(near
William Flanagan's farm),
this is too early for him to be
William's son John (who was bapt 1836),
must be a different relative,
"John Flanagan, farmer" is listed
at Greenhills
under Tallaght in
[Thom's]
1850 to 1873,
it is noteworthy that
as soon as his entries end,
"William Flanagan" appears in the listing for Green-hills, in
[Thom's]
1874 onwards,
this would be
William Flanagan junior,
they must be related, and John probably died around 1873.

Note
William Flanagan,
"gardener", Rathfarnham, Co.Dublin,
will pr 1760.
(Similar profile to our family.)
All of these wills were burnt in 1922.
Eoin O'Mahony,
the scholar, traveller and
amateur genealogist,
and friend of
Frank Flanagan,
claimed that Eamon de Valera's wife was a relation
of these Flanagans.
Liam Cosgrave says this is not true:
"As far as I am aware the views of Eoin O'Mahoney are based on his vivid imagination
which had great flights of fancy".
Think
W.T. Cosgrave said
"That was the only thing that Dev and I ever had in common,
was that we both married Flanagans.".
John Flanagan
remembered hearing as a child that De Valera was somewhere in the family tree.
Laurence Flanagan,
of Carbery, Co.Kildare, had issue:
- Sinéad Flanagan,
born 1st June 1878 [grave],
born Jane or Janice Flanagan, Balbriggan, Co.Dublin,
mar Eamon de Valera
and had issue.
See DE VALERA
in [Burkes Irish, 1976].

their grave, Glasnevin
(and here

The singer
Sinead O'Connor
was named after her.
