Tim has continued to research our Scottish connection, and the following are his  recent notes.  The documents contained on this page are census, birth and death records of the Scottish contingent.  Below are historical notes that he has found since reading Irish John Smith's journal.  This journal is among the most important documents we have entered onto this web site...as Tim says "it names names".  From a genealogical point of view, it is the Rosetta Stone of our family tree, because it is the only historical evidence that connects our family with specific Greenan, Smyth and McPhillips families...it really is an important piece of our heritage.

Notes of Interest
  • One of the Greenan bunch worked as a pipefitter during the construction of the Titanic
  • You might remember there was a Peter Greenan in Dundalk  that Irish John visited.  One of his sons, Thomas, died in WWI at Windmill Hill  around Pozieres. Thomas had moved to Australia  and joined an Australian military outfit.  I think he died in France . 

  • There was an Edward Greenan who also died in Gallipoli  during WWI.  He was born in Milltown.  He was not Peter Greenan's son, but I think was the son of a Thomas Greenan. 

  •  Thomas and Peter were brothers.  Edward registered with the military in Edinburgh.

 

  •  I did find another WWI death...John Greenan.  But unsure of the linkage with our family.  It states that he was born in Carackol, Monaghan, which appears to be in Ematris Parish.  He was not Peter Greenan's son, but may have been a son of Thomas Greenan.  Thomas and Peter were brothers.

  • Edward registered with the military in Edinburgh.
