Brian Gleeson may refer to:
Brian (sometimes spelled Bryan) is a male given name of Irish and Breton origin, as well as a surname of Occitan origin. It is common in the English-speaking world. It is possible that the name is derived from an Old Celtic word meaning "high" or "noble". For example, the element bre means "hill"; which could be transferred to mean "eminence" or "exalted one". The name is quite popular in Ireland, on account of Brian Boru, a 10th-century king of Ireland. The name was also quite popular in East Anglia during the Middle Ages. This is because the name was introduced to England by Bretons following the Norman Conquest. Bretons also settled in Ireland along with the Normans in the 12th century, and 'their' name was mingled with the 'Irish' version. Also, in the north-west of England, the 'Irish' name was introduced by Scandinavian settlers from Ireland. Within the Gaelic speaking areas of Scotland, the name was at first only used by professional families of Irish origin. It was the fourth most popular male name in England and Wales in 1934, but a sharp decline followed over the remainder of the 20th century and by 1994 it had fallen out of the top 100. It retained its popularity in the United States for longer; its most popular period there was from 1968–1979 when it consistently ranked between eighth and tenth.
The Walworth Farce is a 2006 play by Enda Walsh.
A council flat on the Walworth Road, Elephant and Castle, London. Dinny is exiled from his native Cork City with his two sons Blake and Sean. Every day, holed up in the flat, they endlessly perform a play which depicts, in extremely garbled form, their last day in Ireland, which featured the death of Dinny's mother, followed by Dinny murdering his brother and sister-in-law. Blake plays all the female roles in a variety of wigs, while Sean plays the male roles. They also perform as younger versions of themselves, in which they bully other children and kill a dog. As they repeat the play (to an audience of nobody), it becomes apparent that this is a script that is constantly revised and modified, and features many bizarre events (such as Dinny's mother and neighbour dying in an accident involving a horse and a speedboat). Sean has some memory of the real events, and tells Blake (who has no memory of them) that the boys were in reality quiet children who planned to become astronauts and bus drivers when they grew up, and that their depiction as young sadists is their father's invention.
Brendan Gleeson (born 29 March 1955) is an Irish actor. His best-known performances include supporting roles in films such as Braveheart, Gangs of New York, 28 Days Later, Troy, and the Harry Potter films and leading roles in films such as In Bruges, The Guard, and Calvary. He won an Emmy Award in 2009 for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the film Into the Storm. He is also the father of Domnhall Gleeson.
Gleeson was born in Dublin, the son of Pat and Frank Gleeson. Gleeson has described himself as having been an avid reader as a child. He received his second level education at St. Joseph's CBS in Fairview, Dublin where he was a member of the school drama group. After training as an actor, he worked for several years as a secondary school teacher of Irish and English at the now defunct Catholic Belcamp College in North County Dublin, which closed in 2004. He was working simultaneously as an actor while teaching, doing semi-professional and professional productions in Dublin and surrounding areas. He left the teaching profession to commit full-time to acting in 1991.
Ruth Bradley (born Sharon Ruth Bradley 24 January 1987) is an Irish actress.
Bradley's first screen appearance were in 2002 in Ultimate Force (as Georgia Gracey) and Sinners (as Angela).
Since then, she has had recurring roles in The Clinic (3 episodes, 2003), Love Is the Drug (4 episodes, 2004), Legend (6 episodes, 2006), The Innocence Project (8 episodes, 2006-7), Plus One (6 episodes, 2007-9) and Love/Hate (season 1 and 2).
She presented at the 4th Irish Film and Television Awards in 2007. She won the IFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2007 for Stardust.

Bradley won a Best Actress award at the Milan International Film Festival 2010 for her performance.
In late 2010, she filmed the female lead in the Irish monster movie Grabbers, which opened in August 2012 and later screened worldwide.

Gleeson Clan Gathering 2016 "Seven Gleeson brothers emigrated from Gowran, Kilkenny to Australia in chain formation between 1848 and 1853. Their parents, Edward Gleeson snr. and Mary Lyons followed when aged in their mid-60s. Edward senior, who lived to the ripe age of 94 years, had participated in the 1798 Irish Rebellion, using a pike presumably made by his father, John Gleeson, a blacksmith. This Gleeson branch does not appear to have been indigenous to Gowran, and finding their antecedents remains an important quest for Brian." Brian Edmund Gleeson is a genealogist from Melbourne, Australia. He is a past Councillor, including Secretary, of the Genealogical Society of Victoria. Extensive research over several decades culminated in Brian’s acclaimed seminal work, A Gleeson Butler Story...

TRUE STORY OF TROY -HD Troy (Ancient Greek: Ἴλιον, Ilion, or Ἴλιος, Ilios; and Τροία, Troia; Latin: Trōia and Īlium; Hittite: Wilusa or Truwisa;Turkish: Truva) was a city well-known to both history and legend (as well as archaeology), and situated in northwest Anatolia in what is now Turkey, south of the southwest end of the Dardanelles/Hellespont and northwest of Mount Ida. It is best known for being the setting of the Trojan War described in the Greek Epic Cycle and especially in the Iliad, one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer. Metrical evidence from the Iliad and the Odyssey seems to show that the name Ἴλιον (Ilion) formerly began with a digamma: Ϝίλιον (Wilion). This was later supported by the Hittite form Wilusa. A new city called Ilium was founded on the site in the reign ...

The study of emigrants from Britain can help both the emigrant’s descendants and the British left behind in tracing their own family lines back by triangulation, especially before 1800. As most DNA surname projects will contain a predominance of American members, it can help having a knowledge of the basics of American family history. The British can be in a strong position to help in research efforts to mutual benefit. The presentation will concentrate on emigration from England to America, 1606/7 to 1800, where survival of shipping lists can be rare. This will be illustrated by 4-5 separate practical examples encountered, including convict transportation, in which combined Y-DNA and documentary research have either proved successful or are still awaiting Y-DNA matches to confirm.

Wales is the closest part of mainland Britain to Ireland, so migration across the Irish Sea to Wales in both directions has occurred throughout recorded history. Welsh family history is unique, but in some respects has parallels to Irish family history. These unique features of Welsh family history will be reviewed. The migration of Anglo-Norman families into Ireland and then later waves of migration via plantation settlements has given rise to a whole range of surnames in Ireland whose origins are now being investigated by the combination of careful Y-DNA analysis and family reconstructions. Brian Swann worked in the pharmaceutical industry most of his working life (1971-2011) and began family history in 1967. He is a founder member of the Norfolk, Dyfed and West Surrey Family Histor...
