http://www.ainm.ie/Bio.aspx?ID=1874

I have stumbled across another similar biography of Patrick Carmody in the Waldron archives, also by Padraig Ó Macháin, but as Gaeilge. It is Aguisín 5 on pp.137-144 of this book: Title Amhráin agus dánta Authors Riobard Bheldon, Pádraig Ó Macháin Publisher Poodle Press, 1995 ISBN 0952426013, 978095...

For a few tricks, see http://www.cigo.ie/httpwww.cigo.iewills.html I prefer to search by just editing this URL, which returns hits 100-per-page: http://www.willcalendars.nationalarchives.ie/search/cwa/results.jsp?deceasedSurname=&deceasedForename=&placeDeath=&search=Search&pageSize=100&beneficiarySu...

some time ago!

Thanks, Lisa - I also have it!

That's great, Justin. It might also be worth visiting the Sandfield Centre in Ennis where the civil registers of births are kept and asking the staff there to go through the Kilrush book for 1894 in case there is a Michael with mother Anne Russell registered under his father's surname. The indexes h...

Several regular members of this forum will be interested in the rental of the Keane Estate which was sold by auction in the Landed Estates Court on 2 Mar 1866. Thomas Pilkington, assignee, must have been Francis Nathaniel Keane's nephew of that name. Marcus Keane, petitioner, was his infamous brothe...

Here's another example (Marrinan and Quill) of a granddaughter described as a niece in the 1901 census: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Cooraclare/Kilmacduane_West/1080706/ The ages in 1901 (uncle 62, niece 3) are just about plausible, but the uncle then aged to 92 in 1911: ht...

I just stumbled across this report of the original O'Dea case mentioned by Sharon several years ago:

13 February 1939 - Evening Telegraph - Dundee, Angus, Scotland

There is another thread in this forum also discussing the 1941 plane crash.

I've just come across another household with a suspiciously large 64-year age gap between an aunt and her niece: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Clooncoorha/Moyadda_Beg/1081392/ This prompted me to do a little more research and I learned that in several languages there is no d...

Here's the manifest page with Danny and Harry McMahon (and several other people from west Clare).

There was another Michael Russell born not far from Kilrush, at Cree, on 16 Dec 1896. See his Bureau of Military History Witness Statement.

Michael Russell married Lucy Hennessy in Kilrush parish on 7 May 1896. Their first four children baptised in the same parish were Pat on 2 Feb 1897, Henry on 25 Jan 1898, Mary on 30 Jun 1899 and Martin on 27 Jul 1900. There was a Michael Russell baptised in Kilrush parish on 31 Aug 1894. His mother ...

This family was the subject of a lengthy discussion over in the Kilrush Local History Group on facebook back in 2011.
