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...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo Good work. Lots more great research done by you. Thanks also for the link to the Skeleton Army, which I’d never even heard of. In the online transcriptions of the Tithe Applotment Books, all the Killuran townlands have been mistakenly filed under Killummod parish in Co. Roscommon – see Cool...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo

That is Far and Away the best possible explanation for the McNalty mistranscription. Well done!
And thank you for the story of Andrew and Ellen (from Co. Cork) in San Francisco; a sad story, but also a tribute to the kindness of Adjutant J.H. Banberry of the Salvation Army.

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Jimbo That is wonderful (your discovering that McNamara was transcribed as McNalty). That is a bad transcription indeed. This morning, I looked that the name McNulty in the different Unions in Co. Clare (online), and it became clear that only “McNalty”, and not McNulty, indicated a mistranscripti...
