Hi Ruth
If Michael married in 1848 then it is possible that his father Moses was still alive at the time of Griffith's Valaution 1853. There is only one Moses listed in the valuation. But I do know that James Grannell of Ballina Lower had a brother called Moses.

Hi Ruth,
The Moses Grannell of Kilmallock listed in Griffiths Valaution died in 24th Dec.1864 aged 78 years. He was married and described as a labourer.
You could take a look at Cantwells memorials of the Dead (Co. Wexford). It a shoot in the dark but worth a go. Check the index for Grannell and Bolger. Good luck.

Hi,
I came across something that could be of interest to you. According to one Grannell family history in my possession. Michael Grannell who married Mary Bolger had a brother called Mogue Grannell (he married a Mary Cullen). He had two other brothers Edward (married Mary Ann Cunningham and emigrated to Canada now living in the US) and John. He also had two sisters Mary and Bridget.
Micheal's grandfather according to the history is the Mogue Grannell (1734-1797) buried in the old graveyard in Killmallock, Co. Wexford.
Let me know what you think.

Hi John, You little Angel.
We seem to be going great with this,(or should I say you are)?
Michael and Mary are my g g grandparents.I dont know when they came to Liverpool or how, I assume they came on the famine ships, Michaels trade was as a joiner pattern maker, 2 of his sons where also joiners and james another son had something to do with the railway here Trade?,Michael and Mary had children Moses, John (died) James.
Thomas. John. Margaret, Mary bulger grannell died in 1883 in liverpool. Michael died in 1885 in liverpool, I am in touch with grandchildren of Moses line thru genes reunited.

Ruth:
Our family is related to the Edward Grannell who married Mary Ann Cunningham and emigrated to Canada and also James and Mary Doyle Grannell who came to Canada and settled in Huron County, Kinde , Michigan. Maybe this will help.

I am trying to trace my ancestors and Michael Grannell my g-g-grandfather married Mary Doyle in Liverpool in Feb 1881. They were both from Wexford. Michaels father is listed on the marriage cert as Thomas Grannell Deceased, a Boatman of Wexford. I can see from the Griffiths Valuations that there were 4 or 5 Thomas Grannells in 1857 but I don't know which is the one. Can anyone help?
John I have recent photos taken of the grave yard at killmalock if you are interested
