Back in Slieve Gullion John later took over his parent's land (plot 2) in 1916, following the death of his brother Hughie.

 | 1939 Register_Hannaways_Lev'amore Picture Note: "The 1939 Register" - a page from the Register: the Hannaway household in Levelamore. The national survey was carried out in Sep 1939-at the outbreak of WW2. The initial records were completed by each household and were used to issue national identity cards straight away; in 1948 those householder copies were used as the basis for the records of the new NHS service. The census enumerator collected the householders' copy, from which the record pages seen here were created . This entry page confirms Annie McParland's birth date (in Chicago) and Mary's later marriage name. The 4 blacked-out entries are individuals born less than 100 years ago and Public Record Office N Ireland have no death record. (Bernadette, Maggie-Rose, Georgie and one other).
