I have a McLaughlin line on my mother's side that we know was from Co. Cavan, but left way back in the 1830s. Gannon is a Mayo name, but we can only trace that side of the family back to a great-grandfather who was born in England, where they must of gone for work.
I ask because we have good friends in Connemara here who are Gannons. There is a significant pocket of them in Leitir Móir, which is where our friends are from.
