Notes for Joseph Mac Sweeney

I have been informed by Esther Fidgeon grand-daughter of Joseph Mac Sweeney b. 1893 as per the following – ‘My Grandfather Joseph Sweeney ( as he removed the Mac) married a much younger lady my grandmother Elizabeth O’toole from Wicklow. They had 2 boys Joseph (my father) b 1937 d,1984, and John (known as Sean) died young adult in 1962. Margaret (Greta) Mac Sweeney was my godmother, she was a pianist in the Abbey theatre in Dublin. I only met her a few times as a child. I believe she had one child Pearl, emigrated to Canada. She raised 2 of her brothers (not sure which, because he and his wife were tragically killed) children named Patricia (Patsy but also known as Dr. Leoni Mac Sweeney) and Billy Mac Sweeney (Dublin)’.

 It  was  rumoured    around  Glin    that  Mary  O’ Longan,   wife of Jeremiah  Joseph  Mc Sweeney emigrated   to   the U. S. A    and  took  with  her  all   the   O’ Longán writings .

ANNA6 O’LONGÁN(JOSEPH5, MICHEÁL Ó’LONGÁN ( MICHEÁL ÓG4 ), MICHÉAL MAC PEADER3 O’LONGÁN, PEADER2, ANCESTOR1O’ LONGÁN) was born 18 May 1852 in Whitechurch Co. Cork.  She married AENEAS MURRAY 27 Apr 1874 in Pro Cathedral Dublin.
