Re: Mulvihill and Honan Families from County Clare

I am back again - sorry - author of 'Inhabitants of Scattery Island' is Senan Scanlan.
Griffin family are still involved in boats - and operate a ferry to Scattery Island from Kilrush - mostly in summer.

Happy Easter to MaryAnne and James/Seamus - or should that be 'Samson' ?? - : The Poet !!

Hello Sharon - it is wonderful that Kathy has met up with her Waterford relations. I see on familysearch.org that an Ellen Carberry married in Tipperary in 1931.

Re: Seeking Nellie Carberry, son raised by Culligans, Crushreen

Hello Sharon & Kathleen - Sharon you were right to put new heading on this posting. The Convent of Mercy in Kilrush had a type of orphanage - and it is poss. that Nellie lived there. Although it is strange that it is Kilrush and not Ennis - which would be nearer to Crusheen. Perhaps the Culligans of...

Re: Thomas Grady ( Victoria Cross ) Crimean War.

Hello Neil - it looks as if it is a different Thomas Grady involved in 'North Clare Soldiers in WW 1' - as this war took place 1914 - 1918 - and your Thomas was in Australia 50 yrs. before that. Perhaps you might find some info in Co. Galway. The 'Connacht Rangers' were actually stationed at King Ha...
