Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo, I enjoyed reading about Michael Augustus MacNamara, who was unusual in those times in having attended university. He comes across as a bit pompous; his poetry was certainly very pompous. His mother was Anne (Nancy) O'Dea, but she's Mary on the headstone. Could Michael Augustus have made a ...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo, Great work on the Leamnalehy McNamaras. In my experience two graves adjacent to each other, with same surname on the headstones, is enough to show that the two families were closely related. And I do not doubt that Martin was indeed a cousin of James, who was living in Waltham, MA. Great r...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo
Thank you for that history - all new to me. I'm not able to make contributions for a while, but still very interested of course.

Re: Inchicronan Tithes - help needed with one word
Hi Sharon, thank you for that help. Since I wrote I've become preoccupied by a health matter (not me) and won't be able to contribute for a while. But still interested of course.

Re: Inchicronan Tithes - help needed with one word
Hi Sharon, again I think I will abandon my hope of understanding why two thirds of Kiltoola tithes were due to the prebendary of Tomgraney. I’m beginning to see that I would first need some basic knowledge regarding prebendaries, unions, vicarages etc. Looking at Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of ...

Re: Inchicronan Tithes - help needed with one word
Hi Sharon Yes, "thirds" is the word I could not make out. Thank you for that help. I thought that I would find some mention of Kiltoola in the Tithes for Tomgraney, but found none. One of the statements by the commissioners (Tomgraney) is difficult to read - maybe you can help me with it: http://tit...

Inchicronan Tithes - help needed with one word
The statements made by the Tithes Commissioners in each parish are very similar, but each one (that I’ve read) has some facet, or detail peculiar to that parish. In the case of the parish of Inchicronan, it is the setting apart of the tithes for Kiltoola that is interesting. The Commissioners are Au...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Jimbo Well my maths* are bad too, but it was my reading that failed me this time. In the newpaper report of the death of Fr. Edward McNamara, I read “eighty-ninth year” as “ninety-ninth year”. Sorry about that. Well done finding Andréas Seán Mac Conmara in the 1911 census. When I first saw it, I ...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sharon I am looking forward to reading that McNamara will you have found. Hi Jimbo I read your post again and, as I’ve come to expect, it is a great piece of work. Jimbo, The white paper that you think might be covering the baptism entry for James McNamara in 1875 is not covering it. The white pa...

Thank you, Jimbo, for that latest very interesting post – I’ve read it just once and will read it again later.
