Details

BirthEdward Geelan was born circa 1811 at Ireland. While no record of Edward's baptism or parentage has been found, he is tentatively assumed to have been a Protestant. This based on the other Geelans known to have lived in Cloonageeher being Church of Ireland folk, as well as the presence of Maria Latimer as one of the witnesses to his marriage to Anne Cox.
MarriageEdward Geelan married Anne Cox on 19 Jan 1835 at Bornacoola R.C. Parish, Mohill Civil Parish, Co Leitrim, Ireland. The relevant entry on Bornacoola Marriage Registers names the groom as Edward Gill - it is assumed to be the entry of interest. The witnesses were Nicholas Reynolds and Maria Latimer.
DeathEdward Geelan died on 18 Mar 1871 at Cloonageeher, Mohill Civil Parish, Co Longford, Ireland. The cause of death was "Stabbed by a sharp flat instrument No evidence to show how it happened".
