These marriage records are from the Catholic Parish registers now online, free, at the National Library of Ireland site.
For Drom and Inch at The National Library of Ireland online site there are marriage records from 5 May 1827 to 16 Oct 1880.
Rootsireland has earlier marriage records for this parish. For Drom and Inch they have marriage records from 1807 to 1880. I have included these records from Rootsireland from 1807 to 1827.
The Drom Catholic marriage registers are unusual in that a lot of the time the priest wrote the address in the margin and the entries are easy to read. The most frustrating aspect of the Irish parish marriage records of this time is that the parents’ names were not entered.
Marriages took place usually in the bride’s townland, so this address would be her family’s. These records are of use in finding female Fannings but of course the males were married in the woman’s townland so they are harder to track.
Often “House” was written in the margin. I am assuming this is because the marriage ceremony took place in their house rather than a chapel or church but I may be wrong. Let me know otherwise.
I am also including any marriages where a Fanning or Fannen or Fannon was a witness.
My Fanning ancestors came from Lissaroon and there was only one Fanning family in Lisaroon as far as I know. Lisaroon was/is a townland of 296 acres near Thurles. In Grifiths Valuations there are 31 entries for Lissaroon.

Hi,
I am looking for information about an Edmund Fanning who died 26th January 1832. He is possibly the Edmund Fanning who leased land at Killmacorris, Parish of Drom, Tipperrary. His first cousin was a Joseph Lanigan. Edmund was struck with a stone which knocked him off his car. I would like to know more about Edmund and a possible reason why a rock was thrown at him.
Any information about Edmund would be much appreciated. Thankyou in advance for any help.
Hi Catherine,
I am on holidays till Oct. Will have a look for you after I return. Regards Kathleen
Hi Catherine,
Unfortunately for researching there were quite a few Fanning families in North Tipperary at this time and Edmund a common christian name.
So you can’t assume he is from Killvacorris in Drom.
You might be able to find his being hit with a stone in a local paper of the time. That would probably involve a subscription.
You could search the catholic registers of baptisms and marriages that are online free at registers.nli.ie Look in Drom parish. One thing you do know is that his aunt married a Lanigan so you may be able to track down your Edmund this way.These records are the originals and are not indexed so you have to trawl through them.
Rootsireland has all the parish records and actually has some Thurles ones that the national library doesn’t have so this site is excellent. It used to be ridiculously expensive to use but they have updated it and have some reasonable packages, for example 24 hour access. It is worth the money.You could enter Fanning and Lanigan marriage and you might get a place name!
The early Irish records are very frustrating due to their lack of details like mother’s maiden name etc so it can be almost impossible to link families.
Recently all the civil records have been put online again for free at irishgenealogy.ie These records are later mostly after 1860. They are free and have the original image attached in nearly all cases.
Good luck searching
Kathleen
Hello, I have been trying to locate the location, Kill. It’s listed against several entries above.
Is it an abbreviation in the records or a place within Drom and Inch parish, or outside this parish?
Hi Darryl,
I am pretty sure KILL is an abbreviation either for Killahagen or Kilvilcorris in Drom Parish.
I have just posted on Ireland Reaching Out in Drom Parish asking what KILL stands for. I am sure a local person would know. I will let you know if I get a definitive answer.
In researching my family a few years ago, I came to the conclusion that Kill was most likely Kilvilcorris. But it would be good to know for sure.
I looked back at my research, and I think Kill stands for Kilvilcorris.
You can see where it is here https://www.townlands.ie/tipperary/eliogarty/drom/drom/kilvilcorris/
I have done some more research and found that Kill stands for Kilkillahara in West Loughmore.
I looked at the Tithe Applotment Books and found it there and correlated it with
Grifiths Valuation records.
