Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush

Clare was enfolded in the Dail Eireann Courts (Winding Up) Commission to-day, when an action was heard before the Commissioners Creed Meredith, Crowley and McDevitt, in which Michael Brew sought to set...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush
Hi Sheila, Thank you for providing the rather grim stats on tuberculosis deaths in Ireland. Sergeant Major Thomas J. Madigan, of course, was at Fitzsimons General Hospital in Denver suffering from TB. The news articles I chose in my first posting announcing that 4 orphan boys were the recipients of ...

Re: Thomas J. Madigan, Sergeant Major U.S. Army, born in Kilrush
Hi Sheila, Recently I had a search of the ebay auction website for any interesting Irish stamp covers, and was very surprised to find a letter addressed to a Miss B. Madigan of the Bronx, sent from F. Madigan of Vandeleur Street, Kilrush in 1939. The letter had been opened and resealed by the censor...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sheila, Thank you very much for obtaining and sharing the civil death record for the John McNamara, who died in 1870 at the age of 92 years old. Knocknafeena townland sounds very familiar. Are you sure that we haven't come across this John McNamara during the search for the missing Civil War sold...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sheila, Happy New Year and I hope you had a nice Christmas holiday. Thank you very much for obtaining the civil death record of Thomas McNamara who end up being from Tullamore, County Ofally. I am very curious who the John McNamara who died in 1870 at the age of 92 will be. Thanks for applying fo...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sheila, Thanks for your feedback on the 1847 Freeholder listing. The purpose of "senior" and "junior" was to distinguish between two people with the same name, not for family relationships. I reckon they could be father and son, or they could be two men with the same name but different ages. Eith...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sheila, Thank you for sharing the fascinating information that the Rev. Patrick Quinlivan was the uncle of two sisters who married Eugene O'Curry and John O'Donovan. Back in July, when I posted on page 46 the 1962 Irish stamp commemorating them both, I was not aware that O'Curry and O'Donovan had...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Yes, I did use the link you provided for the topic “Quinlivan of Ballyroughan” and I read it all, but did not think there was any contradiction between the Ballyroughan Quinlivans having a priest (or two) and the Garruragh Quinlivans having their own priest. But you have convinced me that Rev. Mr. ...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sharon, Thank you for providing the 1851 Catholic priest registry and 1846 Slater's directory. Here are a few more clippings of Rev. Michael Quinlivan's various exploits and promotions through the 1850's. At the Petty Sessions of Ennis, the Rev. Mr. Quinlivan, RCC, and two others, appeared to ans...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sheila, Thank you for obtaining the 1864 civil death record for Daniel McNamara who ended up being from Newgrove, father of a Patrick McNamara. And I wouldn't worry about any mistranscriptions of the Tulla records. I had previously caught that "John Quinlivan" was "James Quinlivan", it was fairly...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
Hi Sheila, Thanks very much for highlighting that the Rev. Mr. Quinlivan and his two nephews were brought to a board meeting of Tulla Union in May 1851. Have you any idea who this Rev. Quinlivan might be? Paddy Waldron in a posting back in 2012 was researching a Quinlivan from Rathlooby, with an ear...

Re: Quinlivan of Ballyroughan
Hi Paddy, It has been over ten years since you've first posted about the family "Quinlivan of Ballyroughan" and you may have already sorted out all your questions or perhaps lost interest. The past few weeks the ongoing search for the missing Thomas McNamara of Glandree has led to Garruragh townland...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,
I was interested to see, in the 1888-1913 map, that the Workhouse burial ground is in the townland of Drummaghmartin (adjacent to Garruragh). Griffith's Valuation shows only one tenant in Drummaghmartin: Anne Molony leasing from Dorothea Tottenham. Burial grounds are usually listed as exempt from r...
