Narrative

There is Tithe Applotment record showing only two occupants in Newtown in 1826, John Hannan with 60 acres and Patrick Hannan with 24 acres. Assuming that Patrick here refers to Patrick Hannan in our tree then John is possibly Patrick's father or another brother.
Alternatively the Patrick Hannan in Newtown in 1826 may have been the father of the Patrick in this tree.

Narrative

I have added Michael, Edmond, William and Charles Hannan to this tree as brothers of Patrick Hannan.

Apart from a Valuation Office tenure record stating that Charles and Michael and brothers, none of the evidence showing a connection between these men directly states what their relationship is to each other. However the body of evidence, taken as a whole, suggests to me that these guys are brothers.

The evidence, detailed below, includes records showing land shared between them and passed amongst them and their families (or at least people with the same surname), records showing that they were godparents to each others' children and records showing that their descendants were witnesses to each others' marriages. Four of the men were raising families in the 1840s.

Shared land
Until some time between 1851 and 1860 William, Edmond and Patrick shared bog land in Newtown.

The men also occupied neighbouring lands independently of each other, but in a Landed Estate record from 1849 the lands occupied by Patrick, Michael, William and Edmond in Kilpeacon were listed in one lot, as if they were a family, with each man named individually.

By 1860 William's land had passed to Michael and Patrick's land passed to Edmond in 1861.

Baptisms
Edmond was married to Catherine Barry. Edmond and Catherine were the godparents to Patrick's son Michael (1850 - 1937). Charles was godparent to Edmond's daughter Bridget (b1843) and Michael's son James (b1839). Michael's wife, Mary Meade was godparent to Patrick's daughter Ellen (b1845).

Patrick, Michael, Edmond and Charles all had children baptised in the 1840s which means they were of the same generation.

Marriages
Edmond's daughter Mary married James Ryan in 1872. Patrick's grand-daughter Helen Conway from Carnane was a witness.

Michael's son John married Johanna Mulcahy in 1881. The priest was Patrick's grand-son John Conway from Carnane and one of the witnesses was Patrick Conway, likely to be John Conway's brother or other relative.

Michael and Charles
Michael occupied land without a house or buildings in Bawncouma, and subletted an adjacent house to his brother Charles. I have not seen evidence that states that the Michael Hannan in Bawncouma is the same Michael Hannan in Newtown, however the land Michael Hannan in Bawncouma occupies does not have a house and there is no record of a Michael Hannan in any of the nearby townlands apart from Newtown, therefore I have concluded that they are most likely to be the same person.

William
The land records for William are the only records that I can definitively associate with him. His land in Newtown was passed to Michael by 1860. It seems like he either passed away or he moved. There are records of several people with the name William Hannan whose children were baptised in Fedamore in the 1830s, any or none of which may refer to the "correct" William Hannan. As such the evidence that William is a brother rather than, e.g., an uncle, is weaker than it is for the other putative brothers of Patrick. Considering the land shared with the other men I will assume that William is a brother, until or unless I find evidence to the contrary.

Narrative

There was a John Hannan in Fedamore parish who may have been Patrick's brother. Denis Quirk was a godparent to Michael's son James (b1841) and Patrick's daughter Honora (b1853). Denis Quirk was also a witness to John Hannan's marriage to Nora Quirk in 1829, which suggests that perhaps John was related to the Newtown Hannans, possibly a brother. John and Nora appear to have moved to St Michael's parish in Limerick city in the 1830s.
