There was a business called Lannan Motors in Lake Grace Western Australia in the 1970s.
There was also a Trevor Lannan aged about 25 schoolteaching in WA, was at Babakin Primary School early 1970s, wife Kit who I believe died of cancer.

Now I know who you are talking about. Martin Lannan and Anastasia GRIFFIN were married about 1820 and had a son called Patrick LANNAN and I think he died in Melbourne about 1900 well Patrick LANNAN married Bridget FARRELL 1828-1907 they lived in Cheltenham, Melbourne It's Bridget who is the daughter of Martin Farrell and Anastasia. No, sorry I don't know any more than you about the irish roots.
Hopefully you'll get someone who can tell you more. Swiftsheath. There were only about 10 families living there and you have 2 of them, I doubt they drifted far to find a mate. Maybe Anastasia was a Downey or a Swift.
Good luck with it and I'll keep an eye out.
Re Lannan Motors & Trevor Lannan above, I now believe both are spelt Lannin.
My Lannan's came to Victoria, I have details of ship etc. Thanks for your replies.Will try following both Downey and Swift
