Janns
The Janns were a family established in the town of Ennis, county Clare, from at least the late 18th century. Richard Janns married Clarinda Mahon of Corbally, parish of Clooney, in 1779. They had a son, Captain Charles Janns, Royal Navy, and a daughter, wife of Augustine Greene, solicitor. Mrs. Greene died in 1848. In the early 19th century Charles Janns lived at Brookville, parish of Templemaley, barony of Bunratty Upper. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation Charles James [Janns] held land in the parish of Drumcliffe (Cragleagh), barony of Islands, county Clare. In the 1870s the representatives of Charles Janns owned 571 acres in county Clare.
