Re: Patrick Guilfoyle, b. 1880 in Driminure, Aughrim, Tomgraney.
Hi Darren I think you are right in guessing that it was Patrick’s wife, Kate Rodgers, who was related to Alfie Rodgers, rather than Patrick himself. Nevertheless I looked the Scarriff baptisms (1852-1872) for a Guilfoyle-Rodgers connection and found this one: the baptisms of two children of a Thomas...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo Good work. Your purchase of Fr. Ignatius Murphy’s The Diocese of Killaloe: 1850-1904 is paying dividends. I too failed to find a civil record of the death of Fr. John Clune, You found that the report of his death in the Freeman’s Journal of Mon 14 Jul 1890 gave “yesterday” as the date, but ...

Re: Sinon Culligan and Catherine Waters of Kilrush
Hi Bev Just something to bear in mind in the course of your research is that Culligan was sometimes spelled “Quilligan”. I’ve looked at the transcription of the Kilrush (St Senan’s) baptisms and see that Sinon’s surname was always spelled Culligan, so that bit of information may not apply to your fa...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo, When I first read your comment: … would have found it extremely difficult to get his teammates, 16 other Irishmen, to agree upon anything, let alone … I thought those words might have been taken from a report, or letter written at the time, but I see from your reply that the comment is you...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo Thank you for that very interesting post, especially the work you’ve done on the (at least) four Claremen on the Wolfe Tone team of Brooklyn. I noticed that wrestling is associated with football rather than with hurling. The 1904 photo of the team is indeed a great photo. Here is a photo of...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo You have done much work on the subject of hurling in a very short time. I found your posting very interesting, and it prompted me to re-read the article you mentioned (by Daniel McCarthy). A book entitled Feakle , by Kieran Sheedy, published by Feakle GAA Hurling Club, 1990, is probably ano...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo I'm glad you found the sheet music for On Raglan Road for the button accordion. And I'm delighted to tell you that Clare won the All Ireland hurling final on Sunday. They won by a whisker and it was very exciting. It was a wonderful display of speed and skill, combined. The players play jus...

Re: Meelick residents 1856
Hi Matthew You haven't attached the list and this is probably because the quota for attachments has been reached. I have found that if I delete one of my old attachments (maybe no longer very relevant), I can make a new one. This method might work for you too. Sometimes I have to delete two old atta...

Re: fish in the Meelick river
Hi Matthew I looked in Dineen too, but, as you say, "Cróininí" is not there. But I did find a reference to Croneens in this piece by by Paul Molloy: https://fishinginireland.info/2018/trout-reports/brosna-and-camocor-getting-some-croneen-fishing/. It doesn't tell us what kind of fish Croneens were, ...
