QUINLAN Family History
This interesting surname is Irish. It is a developed form of the ancient Gaelic surname O' Caoindealbhain. The translation is the male descendant of Caoindealbhan, a personal name meaning the son of the comely one (!) and composed of the elements caoin-dealbh and the diminutive suffix -an, meaning little or more likely 'son of'. It can also be a form of the surname O'Conaillain, meaning descendant of Conaillan, a personal name representing a diminutive of Conall, composed of the elements con (from cu meaning hound) plus gal meaning valour. Recordings of the surname are tracebale to the mid 16th century (see below), whilst variations in the idiom of the spelling include Quinlan, Quinlen, Quinelen, Quinlan, and others...Select Audience

I'm Marc Kirner. My 3d great grandfather was Patrick Quinlan. This research provided by Lise Doss. Patrick Quinlan was born about 1802 in Roscrea parish, County Tipperary, Ireland. When he was 20, he
joined the British Army in Dublin. He stayed in the 46th Regiment of Foot (Infantry) for over 22 years. In
1823 he started a ten-year stint in India. After that, he was stationed in England and Ireland for a few
years, which was probably where he married Mary Caulfield. They had their son Jeremiah, our ancestor,
baptized in Dublin in 1837, a few months before Patrick was sent to Gibraltar. He and Mary had a son
and daughter there in 1839 and 1841, both of whom died there in early 1842. Patrick had his final
foreign assignment in the West Indies (Caribbean) for half a year in 1842, then he went back to Ireland.
In 1844 he was discharged from the Army due to illness and injury, receiving a pension. He died in
Downpatrick, County Down in present day Northern Ireland in 1851.
