Narrative

Michael Conway of Fanningstown is the informant on the death record of John Conway of Fanningstown in 1880 aged 96.
Michael Conway replaced John Conway as the occuppier of lots 12 and 16 in Fanningstown after John's death.
Neither record states the nature of their relationship but it seems likely that they were father and son given

1) John and Michael's ages
2) The above records
3) The fact that Michael's father's name is believed to be John (because there is evidence that Michael's son John is cousin to Thomas Conway's son John and Patrick Conway's son John; Thomas and Patrick's father was John).
