Not surprisingly, at various times and places attempts were made to put a stop to the activities of the two gangs.

 

 

 

This was often, though not exclusively, undertaken by the clergy, such as at Newtownsandes following the day-long fight which left a man dead: ‘Every other Sunday after that the priest came out in the street after Mass, and ordered all the people to go home, and not to fight any more.

 

 

 

The two sides were advised by him, and they never again fought.’

 

 

 

In December 1828, ‘to reconcile contending factions’, a priest had a large crowd of people from Ballylongford, Lisselton, Tarbert and the Galey walk, as a penance, from Tarbert to Tralee.

 

 

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

The Lawlors and Black Mulvihills also had their champions. Gearóid Mulvihill was descended from the Mulvihills of Knockanira, Co. Clare, who ‘had the reputation of being great fighters and men of splendid physique’.

 

 

 

He ‘led the Black Mulvihills in many a bloody contest. Gearóid used to stuff his hat with hay so as to lessen the impact of the blows on his head.’ The following story about him also features ‘a formidable fighter’ for the Cooleens, Seán Sheehy, from Coolaneelig, who was known as the Dailc (‘the hulk’).

 

 

 

Gearóid Mulvihill had many notable victories and was held in high esteem even by his enemies. At that time the champions of different factions used to challenge each other to fight in order to see who was the better man … Big Jim Hartnett of Abbeyfeale sent a challenge to Gearóid, which he accepted. He took none of his followers with him.

 

 

 

It was a long hard fight which Gearóid eventually won. When the Abbeyfeale men saw their leader stretched on the ground they rushed at Gearóid and almost killed him.

part of Batt and Co many of them would be homeless. The funny thing about it was not sufficient to pay the half-gale rent the tenant should also give over possession this was done by taking a wish of thatch from over the door and handing it to the estate bailiff then if he had any friend of his own for the place the unfortunate tenant was evicted. Some farmers got possession through these happenings.

 

kept a stiff lead on the rest of the workmen. In olden days the greater part of the tillage of this country was gone with the spades and as each man had to do an equal share it was pretty hard on those who were good workmen hense the phraise came "he was broke; meaning of course he was not able to keep in line with the Gombeen man. With the advent of machinery all this business died away much to the relief of those who were not good work men and much to the advantage of the employer as a good percentage of certain works were not well done when men were to hard pressed

Priests celebrated Mass in it. Those Friars were called Dominican Friars. The Church is knocked down now to the foundation and the stones taken away from it. Some of the holy people died in Carrueragh and others went to Tralee and died there.

“The ancient name of Kilmorna was Kilmeany it was said to be once of the most beautiful spots in North Kerry.”

 

daughters married a Polar Gentleman and her brother left her the place and she kept it until Sir Auter was killed and it was then by the Government and divided to the people. Mr Guns was a good man and his work-men had no trouble with him.

 

Kill means church and long ago there was a burial ground in the ruckery named Mary before the church of Lisiniskea was built.

 

There was a grave-yard in Kilmorna. When Parnell visited the place there was a tree planted for him and it is still to be seen it is about one hundred and fifty years ago it was planted.

 

Mahony had too horses named Romia and Bumburshirt and they were the most beautiful horses to be seen in North Kerry. Shanna Cuil is the western end of Kilmeany and the Eastern part is called the river dail and the most eastern side of it was called Trien. There is a gate in

 

 

 

Kilmeany named Buckleys gate and it was about seven feet in height and it was said that a hunter jumped it.

 

The great house was first a small house and Mr Mahoney did a lot of improving in it.

 

There was a park in Kilmeany and in the park deers were kept. The whole park was surrounded by a high wall and the deers were driven out each day and hunt them. All the people of Kilmorna were evicted from their homes except the Moor's and the Sullivans. My Great Grandfather Timothy Scanlon came from Athea and got land in Kilmeany after the famine. The public road ran through Mahoney's land and account of the beautiful woods, the road was made at the other side and O Callahan was the contracter and it is called O Callahans road since. There is a beautiful glen called

 

 

 

It is said that the trees grew there by nature. There is a skating flag in the wood and the young boys and girls of the parish used to come there on Sundays.

 

Mr Parnell who was a member of Parliament came to Kilmeany on a visit and there was a tree planted in remembrance of the day he visited the place, it is about one hundred and fifty years ago. There was a burial ground in Kilmorna before the church of Knockanure was burned. It is said that it was a group of Protestants from Kilmorna that burned the church. Long ago it is said there was a small house at the back of the chapel and in it there lived a man and two children. The fater of the children was killed by night and the two children were left alone in the house. The is a stone still to be seen in Willie Stacks land where he was killed and his blood remains in the stone

 

 

 

and will never leave it. The mans name was James Costello and one of his sons remained hoarse ever since from crying after his father. After he was killed his sister came to take care of the children. They remained there for some time and then they removed down to the Co. Limerick.

 

The slipping stone in Kilmorna is a big rock sloping downwards to a stream. When the people used to skate on it they made it smooth. It is not half as long as before for when they used to skate on it the surface used to give and cover the lower part of it.

 

Shannacool means the old corner. There was a gort in Gurtaglanna long ago and it is likely the name came from a garden.

 

 

 

The Forts we find around our townland are the relics of ancient dwellings. These forts date back to the Danish invasion in the ninth century. In the centre of these forts were erected a large pole and around this they built a circular ring of earth from this to the top of the pole they put canves and thus formed a dwelling similar to our tents. They built an outer ring of earth which formed such a strong defence that it could only be taken when its defenders were overpowered by larger numbers. In those days the only weapons of welfare were swords and bowed arrows.

 

There are several forts in the district and the principal of these seems to be at Gurtaglanna, as it is surrounded by three rings of earth or defences. Probably the chief or ruler of the clan lived in this. This is known as

 

“The Forts we find around our townland are the relics of ancient dwellings.”

 

(continued from previous page)

 

 

 

Lissnabro, close to this fort there are four others one of which gives its name to its townland Lisaniskea another is called Lisanfarran this is the fort close to the Knockanure burial ground. To the west of this is Carrueragh there is another one called Lisaphone, south of Lisnaph is one called Lisaknock. There are forts in Kilmorna one of these is called Liskeendonnell. The Danes seemed to have lived in colonies as their forts are close together.

 

After the battle of Clontarf the danish fighting men returned to their homes hence those who remained with the Irish and the forts were allowed to decay.

Poets

 

Collector Kathleen Cronin - labourer. He worked in this district and also around Listowel and Knockanure. He made a very fine song about the miser Farmer and still a better one about the late Father Casey. A part of the song that he composed was.

 

"No matter what your offences were.

 

He would forgive your sins.

 

He had more power than any Priest.

 

Himself and God were friends.

 

He is rolling in the heavens now.

There is a man in the parish of Knockanure named Patrick Drury, commonly known as "Pá" Drury.

 

One day as he was going to Listowel he met two priests, and they told him to make a rhyme about O'Sullivan the reporter, who was then living in Listowel.

 

This is the rhyme he made.

 

In this bright town there lives a clown,

 

He would sell his soul for porter,

 

O'Sullivan John he is the man,

 

The dirty mean reporter.

 

One of the priests gave him 1/6, and the other one gave him 2/6. Pá said "God bless you" to priest who gave him 1/6 and he said "God Almighty bless you" to the priest that gave him 2/6. The priests asked him what the difference

Hello,

 

Just research that my great, great grandparents were married in Moyvane 7 SEP 1857 (John O’Shea and Johanna Donahue). So, I’m adding your lovely town onto my visit list of Ireland!

 

I do have one question. The parish record lists the town Miss Johanna came from as ‘C l o u n p r u h u s’ ?? I am not finding such a town. Closest, I think, was possibly ‘Clontuskert, a.k.a. Cloonturskan’ in Roscommon. I’m just wondering if that makes sense, and if that area is near you?

The butter produced by the Glin Co-op creamery was of a renowned high quality partly due to its cooling which was aided by the importation of ice from Norway for the ice houses built for the thriving Glin fish market where salmon taken locally were bought and then sent directly from there to Billingsgate, London for sale. Ice was needed to pack the fish to keep them fresh[9]. A dairy inspector report dated 13 August 1897 confirms this As the creamery is now receiving ice daily and I gave them information how to use this to the best advantage, I expect good results in the future both in quantity and quality.

 “We walked to the furthest point of Carrig Island.

 

Nearby is the first monastic site in North Kerry.

 

Across the Shannon Estuary the round tower and monastic sites of Scattery break the skyline.

 

A northwest wind chills the sunlight that is gaining confidence this April morning.

 

Feeling like the last two priests in Kerry, we are full of Holy Week tiredness, inwardly more ashes than fire, more sickness than healing.

 

In this place and at a different time Senan of Scattery crossed over to build a causeway, a task abandoned for want of blessing.

 

"We have only ourselves," we said as we stood there.

 

In our inner emptiness is the birthing place for Easter hope.

 

That it may overtake us and bring us forward.”

Martin Mulvihill (born in Ballygoughlin, County Limerick, Ireland in 1919; died 21 July 1987) was an Irish traditional musician, composer, teacher, and author. He composed roughly 25 tunes in the Irish traditional style. Although his mother played the fiddle, Martin, the youngest of her ten children, was the only one to become a musician. He began his study of music at the age of nine. From a violin player in the neighboring town of Glin, he learned the rudiments of the fiddle and how to read and write music; from his mother he learned the Irish traditional style. His early repertoire was learned both from written sources such as Roche, Ker, and O’Neill's 1001, and from local musicians. In 1951 he emigrated to Northampton, England; there he married Olive McEvoy from County Offaly, with whom he had his four children, Brendan, Brian, Gail, and Dawn. Mulvihill continued playing music during this time, expanding his skills to include button accordion and piano accordion. The latter became his main instrument for several years. In 1965 the Mulvihill family relocated to New York City. He began teaching music lessons part-time, but as his reputation grew this quickly became his full-time ( Wikipedia article )

Forum Genealogy posted this lovely picture of Liza Mulvihill of Glin. This lady was featured in the last edition of Turtle Bunbury's Vanishing Ireland.

MULVIHILL

I knew Liza many years ago when she used to cycle to Listowel to collect for the National MS Society. Liza had a lovely niece who had MS. Liza looked after Mary Anne with the very best of care. Anxious to do something to help find a cure for this awful disease that was devastating her family, she joined the MS Society and became its local liaison person. When the flag day came round, Liza would cycle from her home in Ballyguiltenane to Listowel with her collecting tin and flags. In the 1970s these"flags" were little paper rectangles which one attached with a straight pin. She usually took up her position in The Square, collected all day, only stopping for lunch and then cycled back home to count the money and send it back to Dublin with the collecting tin.

 

The MS Society now is a professional organisation with professional staff as well as volunteers on the ground. Back in the early seventies it was run from Dublin on a totally voluntary basis by a group of ladies . I don't think they ever realised the sacrifice and hardship heroes like Liza endured in order to fill the coffers and fund vital research which has yet to produce the cure we all hoped was around the corner

The North Western portion of this State has been visited by a plague of grasshoppers. Some say the hoppers came to visit His Royal Highness, Duke of Gloucester who is still here and must feel somewhat bored with the fulsome flattery and other rubbish that is daily heaped upon him by the Jingoistic element in these parts. In the hope of getting an advertisement for my book. I sent a copy to the Duke, but so far, I have not heard from him. If he accepts, the papers will have a feature of "Ned Kelly" being installed in the bosom of the Royal Family, But if he does not accept .I will send a similar copy to President De Valera with a suitable letter

I addressed a copy of my book to Messrs Dillon Bros ,Lyrecrompane , but I have not heard from any of them .I understand that some of Ned Dillon s sons are still living in the old family homestead and I would like to learn something about them .I am inclined to think that cousin Tim Kennelly when living in West Australia was not very enthusiastic in his search for relatives in Victoria . I contested the Merenda Federal Electorate as a Labour Candidate inDecember 1906 and again in 1910 . In each case was defeated by one of my own Nationality . In 1906the late Richard O Neil acted as vote splitter for Robert Harper the retiring Member .In 11910 Mr Thomas Hunt of Kilmore , who had previously attended as delagate thePan Celtic Congress in Ireland acted , knowlingly or un knowlingly as Harpers vote splitter

The result was Harper protectionist 7900 votes

Kennelly Labour 7200 votes .
Hunt Independent Labour 1945 votes .

WEDDING BELLS. CAMPBELL-EGAN
The marriage of Mr Andrew Campbell to Miss Charlotte Egan afforded the townsfolk of Redbank a pleasant holiday, and somewhat compensated for no visit of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales to its locality.
The ceremony was performed in St. Paul's Church, Redbank, the Vicar, Rev. Canon Reynolds, officiating.
The bridegroom, who with two brothers, "did his bit" at the front, is now appointed Inspector of Returned Soldiers' Settlements in the Apsley district. He is the son of Mr and Mrs Andrew Campbell, of Miga Lake, Harrow. He appeared in the uniform of the A.I.F. and wore the colors of the 38th Battalion. Whilst serving in this unit he was severely wounded and invalided home. Khaki was also worn by Mr Neil Campbell, his brother, who acted as best man, and by Mr G. M. Egan, the eldest brother of the bride, who gave her away.

Letter (from the 1940s?) written by J.J. Kenneally
Thu Sep 29 02:08:15 2005 (Edit Post)
Sharon Hollingsworth At a website about the history of the village of Newtownsandes, County Kerry, Ireland I found a letter written by J.J. Kenneally but the name is spelled Kennelly in the letter.
In the letter he mentions Ned Kelly and his book about him.

You can read it here--

http://www.reocities.com/dalyskennelly_2000/jjkennelly.html

When you go to the homepage http://www.reocities.com/dalyskennelly_2000/ you can click into the guestbook where a lady writes in and gives thanks for seeing the letter from her grandfather, "J.J. Kennelly (Kenneally in Australia)" and confirms some of the facts. I did some checking in Corfield and elsewhere and see that the family facts are correct and the fact of him running for office. From what I can figure the year of the letter must have been between 1945 and 1947 since he says that the Duke of Gloucester is still here (as the Duke was Governor General of Australia between 1945 and 1947). Also he mentions "president De Valera" who served in the position of prime minister of Ireland between 1937 and 1948.
In August 1945 Kenneally did the "enlarged and revised" version of his "Inner History of the Kelly Gang." Kenneally died in 1949.

That is a beaut find. Interesting that to read the letter and ' Mat' is a well to do farmer at Eleven Mile Creek. No doubt this kindled JJK's interest in the Kelly saga.
Keep up the good work Sharon, we all appreciate the resource.

Regarding http://www.ironicon.com.au , during the past month my internet service provider had a server crash and they re-instated settings according to an old copy they had. The result of this meant- intending visitors could not access the site/s.

Sharon Hollingsworth Bill, thank you very much for your comments. A little appreciation sure goes a long way! I saw over on the ironicon links page where you have mentioned me under the KC2000 link in reference to the forum. Maybe a few people who wondered where I vanished to can now find me.
It seems that not only am I "inimitable" I am unsinkable like Molly Brown (on the Titanic)!
I really appreciate the recognition.
Now I just hope I can keep on finding these great little nuggets of information like the Kenneally letter! It is getting harder and harder to find good stuff as I have searched so darned much these past few years!

Fri Sep 30 06:57:36 2005 letter from 1940 (Edit Post)
Lola R Sharon I have passed this onto JJ's Granddaughter, Mary, as it does not read quite right to me.
Fri Sep 30 17:00:28 2005 (Edit Post)
Sharon Hollingsworth Thanks Lola, I had wondered what Mary Kenneally would make of it. The other lady who was a granddaughter who visited the guestbook seemed to agree with some of the family facts, but I would like to know just where this history site got the letter from! They give no provenance or background to the letter, just listing his name under families that had ancestral ties in the area and thus I clicked on.
Hope we can solve the riddle! Let us know what she says.

Hi Mary Ann,

Thank you for sending the back copies of the Voice, I found them very interesting. My ancestors as far as I know came

from Moyvanne (Newtownsandes) and Ballylongford. Thomas's death certificate says Newtownsandes, but his shipping

record says that he came from Muher. From the information in the Voice, it seems that most of the Mulvihill clan came

from Roscommon. I hope you can help me with my research in some way.

I do have some information regarding Thomas and Johanna, but as yet most of it is unconfirmed, but I will include it here.

Thomas Mulvihill b. 18 May 1830 and christened at Roman Catholic Church in Moyvanne, 31 May 1830.

He died on 26 Jun 1915 in Tumut NSW Australia. His father was Michael Mulvihill and mother Ellen Connell.

Also born were Joanna Mulvihill b. 1832, Michael Mulvihill 1835, Johanna Mulvihill b. 1838 and Patrick Mulvihill b.

1841. I know Patrick was born in Kilbaha, Johanna and Patrick both came to Australia and settled in Tumut as well with

Thomas.

I have a handwritten transcript of Thomas and Johanna's marriage which took place in Alderney, Guernsey, Channel Isles

England in 1855, on which they stated that Thomas's father was deceased. Thomas and Johanna arrived in Australia in

1857. They departed from Southampton Dec 1856 on the Mary Ann.

Johanna Mulvihill daughter of Michael, married Patrick Geary from Co. Limerick, and came to Australia.

Patrick Mulvihill arrived in Australia on the Abyssinian 1859 in Sydney. Shipping papers say that his parents were

deceased and he was joining his brother.

I would be very thankfull if someone can connect any of this information with theirs, and maybe allow me to further my

research into my family.

Thanks Mary Ann for helping me with this research. I did go over to Ireland in 2005 and tried to find out more

information, but wasn't successful at all.

Cheers,

Dorothy Vowles,

Little Bay, Sydney NSW

Try Moyvane and Kilbaha

The first vicar of Aghavallin that we know of was Muiris O'Cionnfhaolaidh (Kennelly), priest of Ardfert, who in 1402 was to be called to the Vicarage, 'if found fit in Latin.' Either he or another Muiris is mentioned again in 1418 and in 1427 it is stated that he has held Aghavallin for over eight years. He was then deprived of the living and his son Taigh, (who had to obtain a dispensation from Rome to take up his position, as his father and mother were not married at the time of his birth) was installed in his place. He died in 1440.

 

In 1432 we find Donatus (Donal) 0 Cionnfiaolaidh is recorded as priest in Aghavallin. He translated to Kilfergus (Glin) in 1435 ('a parish long vacant since the marriage of Tomas 0 Halpy [0 hailpinl?] in 1427~'). Cornelius 0 Tuathaill succeeded him.

 

In 1449 Sean 0 Colmain, clerk of the parish, is provided to Aghavallin in succession to Taigh 0 Cionnfhaolaidh, but two years later Cornelius 0 Concubhair (O'Connor) petitions Rome that on the death of ~O'Tuathaill, he himself was dispensed by the Pope and appointed Vicar. He says he served in Aghavallin for a year, but that John Pursel, Canon of Limerick, settled the dispute between himself and 0 Colmain in favour of the latter.

 

Appointing 0 Colmain to the vicarage of Kilgobnet and 0 Concubhair to Drumcannon, both in Lismore Diocese, solved this problem.

In 1457, Taigh 0 Logyhane (0 Longhain, Langan) clergyman of the parish is charged the sale of Church Appointments 0r Church Property and with perjury , Donal 0 Cionnfhaolaidh back again in 1460.

Hurricane Katrina
In August 2005, Loyola closed its campus and evacuated its students in anticipation of Hurricane Katrina. The campus sustained minimal wind damage including broken windows but floodwaters did not breach any buildings. Following cleanup, classes resumed on Monday, 2006-01-09. Despite the displacement of the entire student body during the fall 2005 semester, 91 percent of Loyola's undergraduate students returned for the spring 2006 semester. Commencement ceremonies for the Class of 2006 took place April 28-29, the first New Orleans college to do so post-Katrina. On 2006-04-10, President Kevin Wm. Wildes, S.J. unveiled PATHWAYS - Toward Our Second Century, Loyola's strategic plan. The plan restructured the University's colleges and eliminated several academic programs and faculty positions to reduce operating costs and revitalize the University. "PATHWAYS" was widely criticized by students and staff who felt uninvolved in the decision-making process. The Board of Trustees however unanimously approved and passed the plan on 2006-05-19. In response, the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences produced a vote of no-confidence in both the President and the Provost. In Fall 2006, Loyola welcomed the class of 2010, the first post-Katrina freshman class, with 555 new students.[5]

The University
Loyola is home to 5,000 students, including 3,000 undergraduates. The student faculty ratio is 12 to 1, far better than the national average of 45 to 1 among private institutions. Loyola's motto is "Thinking Critically, Acting Justly." Loyola New Orleans offers students an outstanding undergraduate education, stated the New York-based education services company, The Princeton Review. The Princeton Review features Loyola New Orleans in the new 2007 edition of its annual book, The Best 361 Colleges.[1] Almost all courses are taught by full-time faculty, and 91 percent hold doctoral or equivalent degrees in their area of expertise. Professors have been recognized nationally and internationally by the Pulitzer Committee, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by numerous other professional and scholarly associations.[2] The seal, which was adopted by the university in 1929, reveals the coat of arms of the house of Loyola with the emblem of the Society of Jesus at the top. Central to the seal are two wolves and a golden pot, which come from St. Ignatius Loyola's family crest and symbolize generosity, having enough to give to the wolves. Above the figures of the wolves appear the fleur-de-lis, which represents the French origin of the city and state. Beneath it is a pelican feeding its young with her own blood; this ancient symbol of Christianity (Christ feeding the Church with his body and blood through the Eucharist) depicts Loyola as an institution of the state of Louisiana.[3]

 

 

SUMMER 2007 / VOL. 7 ISSUE 4
Poetry Corner
Patricia Kennelly

RELICS
In a shadowy studio
I immortalize you
in a cedar frame
so
your religious relics
won't be lost
as you were

your spirit
tied only
to dried roses
now powdered
are said to have touched
the coffin of St. Theresa

splinters of a cross
that once lay
across a Holy man
still wrapped
in a faultless square of
waxed paper

a scapular, the backdrop
like a poorly hung drape
in the aged confessional
where you felt coerced to
admit your sins
this promised you salvation

tokens of these
like
wasted
lullabies
of your silenced voice

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STONE HOUSE

at the stone house
you will find
grenadine geraniums

beneath the kitchen window

spicy-sweet
they spill out of a
window box
abandoning
their summer petals

a warm breeze brings in
the honeyed air of
ambrosial autumn clematis
eager to waft
and wave at passersby

at the stone house
you will find
me

gazing out the kitchen window
on a scarce sunny September

where I sit
in silky silence
considering a cup of Ceylon tea
and saying good-bye

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KILTOMEY CEMETERY

the Celtic tiger didn't roar on our trip
which began and ended at the cemetery
kneeling down to
peer into the crumbling open grave
uneven sacred ground

jutted stones like concrete waves
fetid smell of bog and damp grey
we can just
make out a skull or bone
brought forward by an animal
sealing a young man's promise
now witnessed
he did
dance on your grave
his heels bruise the earth

afterwards there is only
the hum of the pub
and hot whiskey
where cloves cling to lemon slices

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE UPPER ROOM ENTIRELY

Beyond the front hall,

where worn Wellies

countless times

have found their way home

Open the door now,

where the sitting room

fire gives

some warmth to your hands

Walk through the hallway,

where their pictures

hang in

gilt-edged frames

Don't open that door,

that leads to the fields

It's as old as the county

it sticks a little

go past the parlor; much

quieter there,

though the mantel clock

ticks loudly

to the upper room,

where you sleep

next to

cold plaster walls

the paisley

wallpaper

wears past rainstorms

one single bed

you are home

in the upper room entirely

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THEY LEFT THE HOUSE

They left the house
to squatters and animals

it sat lost
on the hilltop
disintegrating

they tell me of
days when
apple trees lined the hill
when antiques graced
the rooms
brought back
from London or Dublin
by a wealthy priest
his brother
a misguided man
wandered the streets
with tattered Dylan Thomas
and his rantings

they tell me this
this is your family

they say "when are you leaving?"
the day your arrive
you find no warm embraces
only the constant reminder
of whom they think you look like
maggie, adrian, donal ...
to prove to themselves
you are not a stranger
but a long lost
member of the
yellow kennelly's clan
whose pallor
is well known
in the county

you just might be the last
of the bad blood
but you're ok
if you can
hold your own
at The Railway Bar

Good to hear from you. Thanks for email.
I may not have emailed you but I have certainly spent quite a lot of time in your site. It is excellent!
Have found the odd bit of new info there too which has been great. Although not getting any further back with our northern County Kerry O'Connells We have recently made a connection with Melbourne links to the family after putting together a lot of BDM data I was able to get on line.
O'Connell from the Christchurch NZ line was in Melbourne recently and made the break through while she was there.
It was a bit like the amazing breakthrough we got by finding you.

Bishop in Dublin ? .
Oliver Plunkett 1625 to 1681 was Cannonised in 1975.

Cunningham and Dick of Glin Co Limerick sold land under false pretences c

Hi Cheryl,
A Cunningham was sent to Auatralia just after 1798 he lived in Tipperary was
said to have come from near Listowel Co Kerry. He was involved in the Castle
uprising where he was killed c1802. His trade Stone Mason.
Jeremiah Kennelly was tried in Cork on 14th Aug 1823 and later sent away ,
he finished after leave in Tasmania where his wife went out to him. His
trade in later life was a tailor.
Jer may have been in the Tumut area as a storeman. I have more on him and a
short list of convicts but have lost the papers for the time being will
search again.
A record made of teaching stories of a Cunningham teacher of Donegal was
available from a Fr Darcy of Dublin some yrs ago. John & Tom Kennelly ,
James Griffin , Ml Walsh, Fennell, Corbett, and James O Donoghue were all
sentanced to be hanged on June 1st 1822 they may have been transported. I
think they are of the Co Limerick area .Trial 30th July 1823 of Tom Kennelly
sentence transportation .on 22 May 1823 , 21persons sent away including Ml
Kennelly. Hope some of this info will ring a bell.
All the best

Mc Mahon :
I am Terry, descended from Bryan McMahon b. 1831 or 1837 who came to New
Zealand circa 1855, and married Margaret Devane in Australia on Dec 17,
1866. Bryan had brothers Patrick, John and Owen, and daughter Ellena b. Jan
13, 1839 and another daughter. John m. Ellen Tangnay on May 22, 1864. All
are believed to have left Co. Kerry (Molahiffe, Mile Height or Ballyseedy
areas), some to the USA and some to Australia for the gold rushes. Bryan's
father was Thade (Timothy) who m. Margaret Hannafin. He had brothers Jermiah
(Darby) who d. April 16, 1857, and who m. Mary Murphy who d. Jan 31, 1878;
Terence who m. Johanna Murphy Jul 14, 1839; Owen who m. Catherine
O'Sullivan; Denis; Brian who m. Catherine Enright; Charles who m. Ellen
O'Sullivan and Daniel. Their father was Terence who m. Margaret Moriarty and
he d. Dec 10, 1840. His brothers were John who m. ? Flynn; Owen who m. Nora
Stack in 1810; and Timothy who was a half-brother. Their father was Darby
(we believe it could have been Dairmaird or Jeremiah) who d. 1778 and who m.
firstly M. O'Sullivan the mother of Timothy; darby m. secondly Eleanor
O'Mahony who was mother to the other three. Darby had 9 sisters whose
details are not known. Darby's father was John McMahon who m. Catherine
Moriarty. John's brothers were Brian, Jeremiah, Timothy and Terence. John
would have been b. circa 1710. His father was Terence who was b. circa 1680.
We believe he was one of four brothers who came to Co. Kerry from Co. Clare,
and he settled in Molahiffe. Two of the others are believed to have gone,
one to Knockanure (north of Listowel in Co. Kerry) and one to Kilmoiley. A
fourth went to Co. Limerick, where one line included the French connection
through Jean-Baptiste de MacMahon (John MacMahon) b. 1715. Terence stayed in
the Molahiffe area, and his grandson Darby (and probably Terence and his son
also) are buried in the ruins of the old Molahiffe abbey near the church at
Firies.

Someone in the area may have better knowledge of the graves and their
inscriptions. We would dearly like to hear from anyone with this knowledge.
We would also like to hear from anyone with any interest in any of the
people mentioned above. Unfortunately the older records in the Molahiffe
parish were destroyed by fire, but the family were Catholics, and leased
land for potato farming. Terence's G/G/Grandson Jeremiah (Darby) leased land
at Bushmount off Daniel C. Coltsman, and Jeremiah himself sublet land to
Timothy Cahill. This was in 1853.

Please send all information/inquiries and we can
swap information. We believe we came from the Co. Clare MacMahon/McMahon
family who descended from the O'Brien Kings from Brian Boru.

Found in the Kerryman newspaper of Jan 19th 1907 court case at Tralee Quarter Sessions before Judge Shaw Timothy Dissett sued Rev J Buckley, B.D., President of Jeffers Institute (a school) for balance of wages, the school closed down and Dissett wanted a full years pay and notice of dismissal. Timothy lost his case. He was son of the well known Mr M.R. Dissett.
Robert Dissett was a brother of Timothy above.
Timothy had a job as Cerk in the County Council at 25 shillings per week and left his job to go teaching with Fr Buckley.
Since he lost his teaching job he was out of work.
Timothy was said to be the cleverest boy in his class.

Here is some more info on Maurice T. Moloney:

MOLONEY, Maurice T., ex-Attorney General, was born in Ireland, in 1849; came to America in 1867, and, after a course in the Seminary of "Our Lady of the Angels" at Niagara Falls, studied theology; then taught for a time in Virginia and studied law at the University of that State, graduating in 1871, finally locating at Ottawa, Ill., where he served three years as State's Attorney of La Salle County, and, in 1892, was nominated and elected Attorney-General on the Democratic State ticket, serving until January, 1897.

 

My dad, David Sheehan, was born in 1900 a few miles outside of the village of Mountcollins. My mom, Catherine O'Sullivan, was born in Tournafulla in 1904. They both immigrated to Chicago where they raised a family.

Quinns of Newtownsandes and then Philadelphia
Posted by: Mark Clark (ID *****4140) Date: February 15, 2009 at 10:50:26
of 4423

I am looking for anyone who knows more about the Quinns from Newtownsandes, County Kerry, Ireland, and Philadelphia.
I have located the family in the 1901 and 1910 Ireland censuses. Some, but not all of the siblings below immigrated to the US, in the period 1895-1915.

The homestead was located in the townland of Leitrim Middle, in County Kerry, in the civil parish I have seen identified as Newtownsandes, Muhrer, or Moyvane (modern name). John Quinn was head of the household in 1901 and 1911. His son Matthew apparently married Bridget Mulvihill from Leitrim West, and later took over the homestead of her parents. John's homestead in Leitrim Middle appears to have passed on to his son Michael.

There were not many Quinn families in the Leitrim townlands and surrounding area of Co. Kerry in 1911, so I would like to hear from any Quinns in that area now who have roots in those townlands.

The ones who immigrated to the US generally listed Newtownsandes as their home or place of birth, which I take to refer to the district, not Newtownsandes Town specifically. They came to Philadelphia, although John Quinn later moved to Connecticut. I have little detail of these Quinns in the US, since John Quinn, my grandfather, died young, in 1916.

The James Quinn family shown below is a probability, not a certainty. There was definitely a sibling named James Quinn, but the one shown below is connected by virtue of living immediately next door to Nellie Quinn Ward in the 1910 census. The Ward family below is known to be part of this family by virtue of hand-me-down family history.
Daniel Quinn and his wife may have died before 1930, since their only child was living with two aunts in the 1930 census.

Hope someone recognizes some connections here,
Mark Clark

DORE
All I know about the Dores is that my grandfather Michael Dore (originally from Asdee but then Gortdromosillshy; his mother was a Carmody from Knockanure and also from Asdee) and his wife Hannah Dunne (still has relatives in Moyvane) had 13 children, my mother being one of them (Ellen). Her sister Mary Mulvihill (RIP), brother Michael (RIP), sister Bridget (RIP) all lived in Moyvane. Several of my aunts and uncles moved to England during WWII for work. I can't remember all 13 names of my aunts and uncles. My uncle Michael's wife Sissy still lives in Moyvane at No. 1 Cottage with some of her children. My grandfather was a taylor. My grandfather had a sister named Sarah and I really don't know very much about her. I know I am related to the Stacks and remember as a child going to the bogs behind my grandfather's house. I also believe I am related to Nolans, just not sure through whom. And I am related to the Mulvihills, only through marriage (Mary). I have been in touch with some of my Dore and Mulvihill cousins in the States. I am always looking for more information about my family. I haven't been to Ireland since 1968...a long time ago. I am hoping to get back either this year or next and bring some of my own children to see where I am from. My dad's grandmother was a Sheehy and she was from Kerry; her husband (John Tapley) was from Gorey Co. Wexford; his mother (Hannah Tapley) was from Wexford and his dad was from Galway (John Scanlon).

My mother was one of the daughters of Catherine O'Laughlin. My mother (Rita Frances (O'Laughlin) Reed) used to tell us that her mother's maiden name was Goulding.

By the way, if you have any other knowledge of this branch of the Goulding/Golden family, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.

Alas, no. One of the previous stings only confirmed the names of my grandmother's siblings told to me by my late aunt (Mary Crilly O'Laughlin). That is all that I have been able to find online about the families (O'Laughlin/Goulding). I'm inquiring after more information from my Chicago O'Laughlins. Maybe one of them has done some research. I'll pass along any information I get relative to the Gouldings/Goldens.

And yes, I believe all of my aunts and uncles from Patrick O'Laughlin and Catherine Goulding were born in Chicago in the 1920s and lived near Washington Park

 

 

FARMING IN NEWTOWNSANDS

at end of page c1920 some local Greyhound Owners

 

Little is known of the early settlers in the parish. We can only guess the type of living and culture they had. They must have been very superstitious, as piosogs have survived to modern times. See local folklore (else where in this book).

Many sites are still to be seen where primitive people used cook their food. Burnt gravel marks their cooking sites. Cooking took place where there was a constant supply of fresh running water. Often neat swampy ground they used to heat stones in a sort of a bonfire. When they were red hot stones were tossed into timber trough of water with a wooden shovel. The stones were used to boil the water, which cooked the meat and vegetables. Often the stones busted with the heat, leaving the burned gravel, which marks the ancient peoples cooking site to this day. In lough Gur we can see the type of houses that our ancestors used 3000 years ago. It is though the first settlers came to Ireland c6000 years ago.

The Bronze Age is thought to have about 2000BC. Celtic farmers grew barley and wheat and many vegetables. They built the ring forts, which were very numerous in the parish. Only a few now remain.
Faction fighting was the order of the day. Slavery was the lot of most people. Human sacrifice was a practice in all cultures surly the Irish did the same.

When Christianity came to Ireland
When Christianity came to Ireland the population was small. By 700AD monasteries were well established. The monks having a settled live were able to make great progress in Farming, Medicine, Arts, and Building.
The Ardagh Chalice made 800AD shows how well art had developed. Monasteries controlled much of the food production.
Around this time the Danes started to attack and plunder the monasteries. People were forced to return to substance farming. While the Danes started villages along the rivers and inlets of the country. They needed food fuel and materials to build houses and had to trade or plunder from the native Irish. They bartered or plundered for their needs. The next great change to come was the Normans who arrived in Ireland in 1170. They brought a lot of knowledge and experience with them. To achieve total power they built strong tower houses and treated their tenants as serfs.
Here in the parish we had castles in Glennlappa and Keylod controlled by the Connors. The Connors were always feuding among themselves. Despite the unsettled state of the area, stone churches in Murhur and Knockanure were built. People marvel at the quality of their workmanship, which is evident in the remains of the churches that still survive.

Farmers had to produce food for their lord and master also his friends and followers. The o Connors also had to have 100 foot soldiers and 60 professional soldiers on call to fight for the Earl of Desmond. When the Earl visited, he and his attendants were to be entertained to lavish banquets.
No doubt raiding parties went around the countryside collecting for the wants of their Lord and master Quick Justice or no Justice prevailed at the time. It is claimed that the population of the O Connors clan area in 1600 was about 2000 people.
Farming must have consisted of cattle (sheep) rearing on the open countryside as no fences exited until much later. Families had to secure small plots of ground to grow crops for household use. With no manure they had to use new ground every few years. Many burned the scraw to provide some sort of fertiliser for their crops.
After the fall of the Connors in 1653, big changes came in landowner ship. Ex-soldiers and loyal servants were given confiscated land in payment for services received. 40 years later most of the Ex-soldiers were dispossessed. In 1750 the population of Ireland was about 3 million. Despite the hardships, disturbances and faction fights, in 90 years the population jumped to 8 million. The potato and the fencing of property helped to sustain the rapid growth in population. People could live on milk and potatoes all their life (many died young).
Early marriage and high birth rate where all hands were put to work. People were able to make a miserable living. People were self-sufficient. They had flax and wool to make clothing, houses were built of mud and thatch and bog dale sticks were also used to roof the house. Both pigs and poultry consumed all surplus and stale food. Most people lived as tenants. They could acquire the site of a house by working for a local farmer. These tenants had no rights. The property owner could evict them at any time. These tenants at well provided free labour for the farmer. Another factor that contributed the population rise was fewer people were joining the wild geese to go to Europe. After the fall of limerick in 1690 thousands of Irish men were forced to go to Europe to join armies. It was believed that recruiting gangs lured young men to embark for Europe. Once abroad ship there were never to return. The fall in the price of corn in 1797 created more unemployment among the land less people. Who were forced to make a living as best they could? The potato was their only salvation. The collapse of the banks in 1820 ruined many substantial farmers and businessmen. Many emigrated in 1825 2000 people left Munster to establish a colony in Peterborough Canada, many from the Listowel area were among the emigrants. There was also a potato famine in 1821, 1822 that led to many white boy attacks.
Much destruction and loss of life took place during these disturbed times. Butter making was always a good trade in north Kerry. In 1820, 30,000 firkins were sent from north Kerry to cork. Before the famine, in1841 45% of farms were 1 to 5 acres. Only 7% of farms had 30 acres or more and by the time of the famine 2 million people were considered beggars or had no visible means of support. 1850 labourers wages were 5 d the price of one stone of potatoes. The famine and cholera caused the death of a great number of people. There are very few recollections of actual deaths from hugger in the parish. Older people could recall the death of one or two strangers who died on the roadside. It is presumed that they died from hunger. Many families left the countries side and went to the towns looking for food which was distributed in the towns. Over crowding poor sanitation and malnutrition cause the death of many. Many families at the time had up to ten children who were very vulnerable to disease. When people left their houses or were evicted their house would be knocked. Cattle grazed their potato patch so less labour would be needed. Forcing more people into the workhouse or emigrate. The poor man abandoned all the small plots of land. While his better off neighbour was able to enlarge his farm. The biggest difficulty of emigration was the fare. A man with property could sell what he had to pay his fare, while the poor man often had to go to England to earn the price of the ticket. In the mean time, his wife and children were in the workhouse. Sometimes the workhouse would pay the fare of teenagers to go abroad. Many of them were orphans. Between 1850 and 1870s Spaights of Limerick took 500,000 people to America. It was not all hunger in Ireland before the famine. It was reported that as many as 100 boats were on the Shannon. 50 thousand barrels of grain and 25 thousand pigs were sent to limerick up the Shannon, also 200 firkins of butter a month. Between the famine and1879 farming was improving the size of farms had increased. Bad harvests again in 1879 caused server hardship and many were threatened with eviction. Michael Davit organised the land league. The land league wanted the three Fs. Fair rent, fixity of tenure and free sale. Most people joined the land league. Old newspapers contained reports of their activities. Many from the parish were arrested and imprisoned in limerick. The neighbours of the imprisoned did all their farm work while they were away. The ladies land league was very active at this time. The land act of 1881 gave some relief. Other acts were to follow in later years. All the land was bought from the landlords. Tenants gained ownership of the land at a small yearly rent. One side affect of the farmer owner ship of land was that new young farmers had no land available to rent. New entrants had to wait until middle age before they could farm in their own right. This had a negative effect on farm progress.
Some prices in 1897: 3 heifer calves £9.00
Mid-wife salary £25.00 per year.
Many emigrated and some joined the army. Donations from abroad helped to rare many families. When they were old enough they immigrated to join their uncles and brothers. Immigration took of the economic pressure from at home. When most of the family had immigrated whoever was chosen to run the home place could get married and raise a family of there own and the cycle of emigration continued.
Wakes and fairs
In the old times, wakes were a big occasion. All the neighbours and relations from miles would come to the house of the deceased and expect to the entertained. It is thought that the funeral to the church in the evening before the burial was a means of curtailing some of the excesses at wakes.
Fairs were another time for trouble both with animals and men. People had to prepare early in the morning so that they would have their cattle in the town a good position in the marketplace was prized by sellers. The earlier you arrived; it was believed you would get a better price. When animals were sold, it was the custom of the farmer to buy provisions and necessities for themselves and their families and would also have to pay the bank and shops for money due.

WORK ON THE FARM
Work on the farm went with the seasons and repeated itself every year. In the winter cattle were housed they had to be supplied with hay and bedding and cleaned out every day with a pike and a shovel and a wheelbarrow. Every day turnips and mangles had to be pulped to give the animals a proper feed.
For calving difficulties, you could call a neighbour who would have skills in dealing with animals this skill was handed down for generations.
During the winter land was ploughed so that the winter frost, which was more severe than at present, made it easier to cultivate the ground. It was also a time when to make drains and dykes.
Fences had to be repaired. Many people had law cases over trespass, which kept the solicitors busy. The electric fence was a great invention and it put an end to most trespass cases. Cows would be housed until May. Calves had to be reared and sick attended to many died due to lack of medicine. In wet land fluke caused severe losses.
Animals died from diseases, which can be easily cured at the present time. Redwater, Fluke ,Worms,and other wasting diseases caused by mineral shortage Spring was a time for planting Potatoes ,Corn ,and root crops planting was slow and laborious . Crops had to be weeded, thinned and potatoes had to be risen to, at the same time cutting of turf would take place three or four men would a slean and pikes would take nearly a week to cut enough turf for a farmers house. Later hay had to be cut a man could cut one acre a day with a scythe. A mower who had a dispute with another mower could arranged to put something in his opponents tea, in no time he had the runs, there was nothing for it but take off his trousers and work away a stubborn mower was not going to be stopped.
Cutting the corn
Cutting the corn in the autumn. Binding the sheaves, some women used bind the sheaves with a child on their backs, when the corn was dry in the stooks it was carted to the farmyard where a stack was made, later the trashier called all the neighbours called to give a hand. In old times a man with a winnow used travel from farm to farm blowing the chaff from the grain, around the time of the Listowel races potatoes would be dug, put into pits and turned several times during the winter, many young men and women found employment at both home and abroad during harvest time. Late in the year all root crops were put into clamps to protect them from the frost and the weather, surplus produce was taken to the market by the horse load, one poor man had big pockets in his coat so that he could take samples from many bags put them in his pocket and in this way he was able to feed himself. Old trades have nearly died out like shoeing horses, harness making, stone mason and the repair person who could do all sorts of trades, he could build, thatch, repair, pave and pick scallops or quarry flags.
Household chores
Household chores have changed very much during the last century, most houses in the first half of this century were thatched with an open fire in the kitchen, fires had to be started in the morning to make breakfast, water had to be drawn from the well or stream, clothes were made from old suits, jumpers were knitted, sheets made from flour bags, crochet quilts. All clothes had to be hand washed, big items you put them in a tub and trample them with your feet, smaller items were washed on a washing-board other clothes were boiled in a pot. Baking was an art great judgement was needed otherwise you had a burnt loaf, children were often dressed in rags the new clothes saved for Sunday or special occasions, fowl of all sorts were at the kitchen door or inside the house looking for a bite to eat, a dog or cat could raid the table, it was then you would hear the noise, pigs got the waste small potatoes and a shake of meal on top. Ducks and geese were in every puddle in the yard. Children would search the ditches for eggs; sometimes a hen could arrive with a clutch of chickens, which she hatched in some hiding place.
The station was always a big occasion families spent weeks preparing they wanted everything right on the day, on one occasion a girl was sent to the well for water she took the only kettle in the house she left it fall into the well what a fuss was created no kettle and no water to make the tea.

- I received a letter from Auatralia , from a decendent of Garret Dee & Margaret Hennessy - they were from Ballybunion & Margaret died in Ballylongfrod in 1882 . They were related to Pope Hennessy . Didn't say how he got my name - must have got it the G.R.D. as I put a Hennessy Tralee area in that a few years ago - pile of infromation on the Pope hennessys but I i couldn't tie in with them of course - pity as it would look very interesting in a family tree !!!!
I expect my great great grandfather ,Denis H lived in Rahela in 1850 -Griffiths



The following link is to an index of the Griffith's Valuation for Murher. Thought you maybe interested in seeing it. I assume you probably have, but it's always a nice thing to have on the computer as an index.

Also, I was recently going through the US census an indexing all the Irish Tydings/Tidings in the US over the years. When looking over my relations in Rochester, they listed a Windle as a boarder in their house. I know that Windle is a surname in the Moyvane area, though it possible it was someone from there whose family knew my relations as a contact point in the US. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you all the details about the person from the census.


Here is the information in the Windle that lived with my Great Grandparents in Rochester, NY. This is from the 1910 Census.

Maurice Windle 32 years old Laborer

Just states he was born in Ireland. Doesn't mention when he came to the US. My Great Grandparents came in 1905, Daniel Tydings, and 1906, Mary Kennelly. Then married here in the US a year later. At this time, two of Daniel's Brother's lived in the house as well.

If you do find any information on Cornelius Kennelly and Johanna Bunce, my Great Grandmother Mary's parents, I would love to know.

Unfortunately I have no information regarding my Kennelly relatives outside if the fact that the Dissett farm passed into their hands almost 200 years ago. I have correspondence from other descendants in Kerry that married into the Walsh, Devane, Heffernan and O'Shea families but those letters are almost a centruy old too. If I am ever to find someone descended from the Martara Kennellys it would probably come from you.


Edward was the second son of Michael Dissette and Anne Delane, who was born at the farm of Ahanagran in the year 1768. Shortly after

the family moved to a farm called Carig contiguous to the old dismantled castle of Carigafoyle where he became a domestic in the house of their landlord Mr. Sandes, with whom he was a favorite. After Carig House and demesne was rented by Mr. Sandes to a Mr. Meade together with some of the adjacent farms, Edward who witnessed the signing of the lease, was in some fear of his Parents being ejected from their farm. Whereupon his father came to an agreement with Mr. Meade for a further lease of his farm and being employed by Mr. Sandes as agent or collector of the rent of his Carig Estates. When Mr. Sandes moved to Kileavan in the Queen s County he took my father with him.
My father s oldest brother John having suffered in childhood from a disease called palsy which induced an infirmity in his gait and a perpetual tremor in his head even when he grew up to years of manhood, which incapacitated him for the ordinary labors of husbandry. His chief occupation was the care of his father s horned cattle. He had a most retentive memory, grew up a child of nature, seldom spoke in English not being sent to school. He performed the duty and joined the Order of the Carmelites, wore the scapular as presented by the Blessed Virgin to "Simon Stock" who testified to the same and instituted the Society. This duty he endeavored to perform together with the Order of St. Francis and the cord worn tightly around the waist close to the naked skin . After years of importunity he induced my dear grandmother to join the Order and they were provided with loose habits of brown bombazine to be worn in their coffins with the scapular. The frequent repetition of these rosaries counted on his beads together with his passive, blameless life gained for him the reputation of a holy man and known by his neighbors as (Shawn ne Podrighas) or John of the Prayers. The veritable closing words of his prayer were ("Maw wa mudruh dha ebrughuh Gallmor duth ahn yeanov li coonuh the moor Grasthuh") "If we do the good works which we promise to do by the help of Thy Great Grace".

My uncle Michael who was bred a gardener planted some fruit and forest trees and shrubs and small fruits and white thorn. The tillage of the farm chiefly devolved upon my uncles Timothy and Thomas, who were industrious youths. When they removed to an adjoining farm called Martara, their hazard showed a goodly number of stacks of grain and hay, and mounds and pits of potatoes. This farm on the death of my grandfather in 1811 was divided into halves by a ditch boundary running from north to south, my uncle [Thomas?] taking the west half and my uncle Timothy the east half.

Uncle Thomas, who resided at Mont Pleasant in County Limmerick, rented his Carig farm to John Kenally. Uncle Timothy yielded his share of the land to Michael Kenally, brother of John. Michael had previously become Uncle s son-in-law by marrying his daughter Nancy. My grandmother retaining the pasture of two cows with their portion of tillage until her death, which happened in 1823. Her only daughter, Mary, became the wife of John Kisane. Her youngest son, Jeremiah, having obtained employment in Queen s County, in one of his youthful freaks forsook his situation and entered his British Majesty s service on board the man-of-war Malta under the assumed name of Maurice Dillon.

I was very interested in the 1798 tie-up- I will send you a copy of my book on Kerry and 1798. I did not realize there was any contact at that time between the Carrig Sandes' and the Portarlingon Sandes', though the latter were indefatigable correspondents to Dublin Castle-the seat of the British Government in Ireland, whereas the Sandes' in North Kerry-of whom there were many generally kept their heads down-possibly in case they might loose them as a John sandes was a local United Irish leader at the time of the Rebellion.
As for the Dissetts I'm afraid I can't be much help, but one thing I can tell you is that Thomas and Mary Dissett were living in Lenamore-my own townland in 1901. Thomas aged 60 was a (British) Navy Pensioner his wife was aged 65, both natives of Kerry, both Catholics and both could speak Irish as well as English. The house where they lived is long gone but I remember it well, moreover as it was a stone slated house of which there were very few in this locality fifty years ago. What would make it of interest to you is that is was built as a 'herd(man)'s house on the Crosbie Estate, and that according to tradition Thomas Dissett or 'Lisett' as he was called locally was described as Crosbie's (or Sandes') gamekeeper.

NEWTOWNSANDES

 

 

I saw your reference to Newtownsandes the a rootsweb Kennelly page. You seem to have access to some facts and I was praying you might have what I have been searching for. I am trying to find info on a "Murtagh (Mortimer?) Kennelly, born in Newtownsandes in the late 1700's. He Married Catherine Flahaven and had 4 children who emigrated to Canada. There might be other children also who stayed in Ireland or went somewhere else (U.S., Australia,New Zealand?), I have no idea. The 4 who travelled to the Ottawa area in Canada are Martin b.1807, Bridget b. 1793, Ellen b. ?, and Catherine b. ?. There are at least 4 other Kennelly clans throughout Ontario, Canada, but we can't make any connection as far as relationship, even though they all seem to have come from the same area (Kerry, Limerick) of Ireland. Seems to be an old tale of some disagreement early after arrival in Canada and kinship was never claimed after that. Doesn't seem to be anything some Irish lads would do ... oh no! I was hoping to get at least a small link to my g-g-g- gran. I have much of the line complete since arrival in Canada, and am hoping to go back a little more. Thanks in advance, Shaun Kennelly
