Research

The Valuation House and Tenure Books show that James Barry built and lived in the house later occuppied Thomas Conway (born c.1820) in Carnane. That house was at the same location as the current house on that property.

An adjacent house and offices (farm buildings) were occuppied by Michael Doogan who was a caretaker for Thomas Conway. Revisions to those Valuation Books show that Thomas Conway replaced James Barry and Michael Doogan as occuppiers of those buildings and Michael Doogan's house was probably used as a farm building.

The classification of the house ( 1A- ) indicates that it was a new, or nearly new (in 1849), slated dwelling house built with stone or brick and lime mortar.

Mary Hannan occuppied a house on the farm and was paid £1 to leave. According to the Valuation Books in 1849 she intended to leave "shortly". In the Griffith's Valuation published in 1851 she was still listed as occuppying the house. There are no indications in these Valuation records to suggest that this Mary Hannan was related to Bridget Hannan, Thomas Conway's wife.

Research

The Valuation Office Tenure Books show that a John Conway living in Fanningstown, occuppied land in Carnane. In the abscence of evidence linking this John Conway of Fanningstown to this family tree, it should be assumed that this John Conway of Fanningstown is not related.
