This is my great-great grandmother, Annie BRENNAN born 30 March 1846 in Indian River, PEI, and married Owen A. STEELE, born 1846, and lived together in Darnley and Summeside, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Annie's parents were:
John BRENNAN, born 1822 in County of Cork, Ireland and died on 4 Feb 1889 probably Darnley and is buried at the Indian River Parish Cemetery. His parents were Patrick BRENNAN and Ann FLEMING.
There is a Patrick BRENNAN buried at the St. Paul's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Sturgeon, PEI, Row 10, #32 that died on 28 Dec 1868 at the age of 75. There is also a Patrick BRENNAN, Jr. died 17 March 1868 at the age of 23 and a William BRENNAN died 1871.
In the Anglo Roman Catholic Cemetery there are two BRENNANS buried - Lot 1 James BRENNAN, son of Michael and Aner (sp) 6 May 1863, age 26 and Michael BRENNAN 5 Nov 1851 age 70, emigrated from Ireland 1813. These might be related, but I'm not sure, but still checking.
He married Elizabeth Ann DELANEY,(family history below) born abt 1821 prob Park Corner, Lot 20, PEI and died July 1, 1876 prob in Darnley, PEI and burial might be at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church Cemetery in Indian River, PEI. They were married 25 Oct 1843 in St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Indian River, PEI. Their children were: (all born in Darnley, PEI)
