Early recorded Flannerys in Ireland (8th - 18th Centuries)

10th Century

  • Flannabhra, later chief of the Umhalls

    Seven generations after Flannabhra who died in 778, another individual named Flannabhra emerged as the chief of the Umhalls. He was a grandson of Maille (eponymous ancestor of the O'Malley family), and died around 950. He was possibly the ancestor of the Connaught sept of Ó Flannabhra, but there is only circumstantial evidence to support this theory at present.
