Thanks unfortunately that does not answer my question. It does add to the puzzle. I want to identify the modern day location, townland and parish that Glaunagross is in. I have a possibility modern day glenagross in the parish of St Munchins right next to the parish of Kileely or a possibility that ...

Hi

thanks

In the Dunboyne Collection I happened upon a review of Margaret Brew's short story "the Widows Daughter" published in the Sublon monthly magazine of May 1842. Also she had a poem published in the same issue "The Strangers Nook" As far as I remember the review was glowing - but look it up for your ow...

Michael Quinlivan, (cousin to the bride), Edward Beveridge, Esq. cloth merchant, fourth son of the late Lieut.

He could have gone to one of the Queens colleges (Galway Cork of Belfast) or to Trinity or to the new Catholic university or to college in the UK. If you have his membership of the Royal college of physicians that will probably tell you where he went to college (I think)

I tried duckduck. Did not work without quotes. Got the same results but in worse order. The Clare and ireland ones were lower down. Could not recommend

I have found the Edinburgh university archives incredibly helpful but so indeed is the Royal College of physicians there who have lists fo registered doctors. Dont forget to contact them (in the early 1800s at least two doctors from West Clare qualified in Edinburgh) my relative Mathias Kenny and Lu...

Hi I found a part transcript of Joseph Coghlans will made in April 1810 in the Silles Kelly notebooks in the National Archives 1. Joseph Coghlan had a sister called Harriet according to a note after the will but she was married in Kilkenny to Moran. Maybe she remarried. I was correct that Joseph had...

Donal de Bharra from oac.ie has a lot of information on Miltown as they are based there. He may be helpful if you get onto him direct. I dont know if he follows this board

There are sources for earlier records online and http://books.google.ie/books?id=t5ZRAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA55&dq=David+kenny+md+India&output=html_text&cd=2 and in the Alphabetical list of the officers of the medical Establishment of India at the Madras presidency from the year 1784 to 1838 The royal college...

Cahermurphy is down near Kilmihill and is more usually known for the MacGorman association (they had a castle there)
Cooraclare is another townland in the area.

Do you know where he went to college ? Some colleges like Trinity keep a record of parents names with the admission..

Paddy I see you had another thread on this mentioning that a Father Pat Quinlivan died in 1860. I do think he was likely to be of the same family but here you mention another Father P quinlivan of the Australian mission ? He is possibly the will executor for Father Kenny Margaret *******************...

I postulate that Edward Quinlivain grandfather of the bishop is son or brother of Laurence is the same Edward Quinlivain witnessing the 1793 lease in limerick archives which the Kennys (Edmond and Michael) sign. I suspect he may be a son as Edward is a Kenny name but that is only a suspicion -------...

If this is of any help on the Quinlivain side I am pretty sure that this Quinlivain priest is a descendant of Laurence of Rathloobain who married Miss Kenny sister to Edmond and David Kenny. Father Pat Quinlivain was executor of the will for Father Thomas Kenny pp of Nenagh together with Dean Kenny ...
