Surname: Wren, Wrenn, Bresnen, Bresnihan, Brosnahan, Clifford
-------------------------

I have records for a John Wren, Rosana Wren, and Edward Wrenn all buried
in Calvary Cemetary in Chicago. According to these records John's dates
are 1833-1881, Rosana's are 1850-1869, and Edward's are 1801-1866. John
married Margaret [nee Bresnen]. This was Margaret's second marriage. Her
first husband was Timothy? Clifford. The Bresnen/Bresnihan/Brosnahans were
from Castleisland. The neighborhood in Chicago where they lived was filled
with Kerry people in the 1850s, so the Cliffords and Wrens were probably
from there too.
