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

Hi Sheila, Thanks for providing the link to the family website of Patrick McNamara and Mary Nestor of Maghera townland, again, I had most definitely forgotten that you had posted the link two years ago in August 2021. Looking back at your posting, the reporting of Patrick McNamara as a "labourer" in...

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

Hi Sheila, Yes, I agree with you that the Griffith Valuation for Derrycalliff townland, Plot 5, which on the corresponding map states "Derryheena" would later be called "Derryhumma". I see back in February 2023, on the thread "Location of Cloonan, birthplace of Daniel McAllen" that you thought perha...

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

Hi Sheila, Thanks for revisiting the 1851 census search forms. I had forgotten, or perhaps never knew, that the purpose of these searches was not out of genealogical interest, but to prove their age to collect an old age pension. Did the applicant, such as Julia McNamara Moloney, apply for an old ag...

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

Hi Sheila, Good news, but first thanks for your suggestion that the townland of Dromloughra might be Gortaniska townland as reported in Griffith Valuation. Also, that the meaning of Dromloughra was "Hill of the Rushes" in English. My knowledge of Irish plants is very weak, but a google search of "Ru...

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

Hi Sheila, Thanks, I've gone back and edited my last posting to consistently refer to the Rev. Michael O'Flanagan with an "O". Also, O'Flanagan's project can be viewed in three phases (1) transcription / typed (2) reproduction (3) publish. The Field Name Book for County Clare was typed, but never re...

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

Hi Sheila, Great job solving the mystery of the identity of the daughter of Mrs. Mary Anne Stacpoole, the widow who was evicted from Viewmount in 1879. Anne Mary Stacpoole, or more likely her cousin, Anne Mary Stapleton, didn't make the search easy with her reported ages on the census and civil deat...

Re: John McNamara, of Barberton, Ohio, returns to County Clare in 1892

Hi Sheila, Yes, Royal-Terrace East in Dublin does look to be a very desirable place to live. In the Kensington and Chelsea Electoral Register of London for 1900-1901, there was a Emily MacNamara living at 10 Colville Terrace. Her name was crossed out which I believe meant that she was no longer livi...

Re: John McNamara, of Barberton, Ohio, returns to County Clare in 1892

Hi Sheila, thanks very much for sharing your research which attempted to show a link between the Rev. James Finucane McNamara (≈1800 - ≈1835) and Captain Michael McNamara of Greenpark, Ennis, and the 60th Rifles. I had immediately picked up that Mary Finucane would have been too young to be the moth...

Re: John McNamara, of Barberton, Ohio, returns to County Clare in 1892

Hi Sheila, Yes, I agree that the Rev. Charles Fahy has a very good chance of being from Doora-Kilraghtis parish or at least had extended family living there. Also, Sharon provided an important clue with regards to his uncle, with the discovery of the Right Rev. Bishop McMahon having a land holding a...
