Ian Report 25 Jul 2018 10:48

My great grandfather Matthew Lanagan was born around 1825. I have a census record on which his birthplace is given as Westmeath. Searching Irish records I have found a Michael Lanagan born in 1825 in the parish of Taghmon in the diocese of Meath, but can find no other information.
Can anyone help please?
