He appears to have married a CatherinecJennings( same surname). I’m not sure if they married in IRE or SCO, but they had first born Ellen Jennings in Glasgow 1815. Peter Jennings had a younger brother named Bernard Jennings b. 1792. He married Catherine O’Rourke in Glasgow in 1827. However, he was in SCO 5 years earlier as he is one of the baptismal sponsors for Peter’s daughter Margaret. Peter and brother Bernard Jennings arrived in Prince Edward Island,Canada in 1830.<br />I should mention that at the time of My Bernard’s marriage in 1827 he is listed as being from Donoughmore Parish,Down.<br /><br />There are also possible siblings of Peter 1785 and Bernard 1792,<br />Mary Jennings 1791 and James 1799.<br /><br /><br /><br />Cathy Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547148476937215207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2921239210076758749.post-10079645861102478062021-04-26T20:10:31.652-07:002021-04-26T20:10:31.652-07:00Thank you so much!

Unfortunately I can't find any strong evidence of my Jennings family connect to other Newry Jennings family. Donaghmore is only a few miles from my family's home. There was Peter Jennings at John's child baptism in 1839 but that's probably a different Peter because you have found he had moved. Nicola Jennings thinks you family is related to your family.Donalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681814810471131501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2921239210076758749.post-48792983220776928342019-09-05T16:11:29.119-07:002019-09-05T16:11:29.119-07:00Hello Donal,

There may have been a younger brother James. These brothers left Ireland for Glasgow,SCO. I’m not sure how many years they lived there before they and many Irish from Monaghan left for Prince Edward Island, Canada around 1830. My line stems from Bernard, and in that line the naming pattern seems to be from father to son, Bernard, Hugh, Bernard, Hugh... our family is Catholic, and I thought religious persecution may have been why they left? I’ve see Tithe Applotment Books and Flax growers lists. I see the place name Derrycraw pop up, but I think that’s a road that leads to Newry. Any of this sound familiar?<br />CathyCathy Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547148476937215207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2921239210076758749.post-71195091863245260442018-10-08T10:58:57.450-07:002018-10-08T10:58:57.450-07:00yikes!

My ancestors seem to be Bernard and Peter, who later moved to Glasgow, SCO..then on to Prince Edward Island, Canada...roughly around 1830.I believe they had a brother James or John? who may have been a little younger.<br />CathyCathy Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02547148476937215207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2921239210076758749.post-24201273340079359892017-02-20T18:29:39.070-08:002017-02-20T18:29:39.070-08:00Hi Nicola,

You have done a lot of great work researching the Jennings from Newry. It's, unfortunately, I have only found your blog recently and only now sharing what I found about my family. <br />John Jennings (1811-1889) and Susan Downey descendants all lived in Carnacally, Newry. My late aunt told me about the stories her mother told her, of having to live in a house full of old bachelors (Patrick Jennings 1885 - 1965, brothers and uncles).<br />I have not yet found any reliable information that links our John Jennings with any other Jennings family in Newry. Your notes show an 1847 Will by John Jennings, I wasn't aware of this Will. Maybe the father of John Jennings Carnacally, Newry, but to make things more difficult, I found a John Jennings living around the same time in the other Co. Down Carnacally, it's in Kilmore. <br /><br />The Newry, 1836, marriage church records, of John Jennings & Susan Downey. has a written note under their names "A dispensation in 3° and 4° of consanguineous is granted to them" by the Catholic Church. So John married his 3rd or 4th cousin. Maybe if I find Susan Downey's family, I will find John's ancestors. A Mary, John, and Rose Downey were godparents to John and Susan's children. <br /><br />In my research I found a Jennings family living in the neighboring parish Donaghmore, but I think this family belongs to a protestant church. This family had a Peter could this be the same Peter Jennings at John's second child's christening (Patrick Jennings, baptism at 17 Feb 1839). <br /><br />I haven't found any information on C. Jennings living in Galley, Co.Down. There's no townland in Co. Down called Galley, maybe it's a house. I haven't look into John Jennings of Lissummon, sorry.

Janice's great-grandmother was Ida Theresa Mary Jennings a cousin of Patrick Alfred Jennings of Newry. Janice also told me about your fantastic Blog on the Jennings families from Newry. It was amazing to see an old map of our farm and house on your Blog. I had research my family roots many years ago before records were available online. Checking birth and death certs, I only trace back to John Jennings (1811-1889) & Susan Downey of 17 Carnacally Road, (Townland: Carnacally. Parish: Saval) Newry. Northern Ireland. My father was born in this house and I now own this house. I always wonder if I could find a link with our family to the famous Jennings families of Newry. I always knew there wasn’t any link from John’s descendants because the son Daniel (b.1849 m.1874 to Margaret Torley) was the only son from four to get married. Daniel had six sons and only one son got married Patrick my Grandad. All lived in 17 Carnacally Road to their death.<br /><br />Here’s a link to a webpage I found. http://www.newrymemoirs.com/stories_pages/chapelstfamilies_1.html I have spoken to this family and they claim their ancestors are from Saval the same parish as our family, and they also claim to be related to the famous Patrick Alfred Jennings but I haven’t yet seen any evidence of this. There’s the famous soccer goalkeeper in this family, Pat Jennings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Jennings<br /><br />Please keep in touch<br />Best regards<br />Donal Jennings <br />info@donaljennings.co.ukDonalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681814810471131501noreply@blogger.com
