Annashanco is a townland on the outskirts of Roslea, surrounded by Pottiagh, Drumacritten, Annahervy and Annaghmartin. In the map above you can see Annashanco below the main road but Annashanco also spreads across to the other side towards Pottiagh and Drumacritten. The dark lines mark each townland. My Grannie, Susan McConville (nee Beggan) lived in a cottage on the corner of the main road and the road/lane that heads up to Drumacritten.
In the Tithe Applotments 1823-1837 the families living in the townland of Annashanco were as below.

Mc Slone should read McGlone as this was Canon Michael McGlone who was the Parish Priest for St. Tierney's Church, Roslea from 1887 - 1920. He lived at Lakefield House, Annashanco townland as it was then. |
At some point there was a Murray family living in Annashanco and below is a photo of them *from the Roslea Remembers book - Copyright Roslea Heritage Centre*
