Drowning in Bunratty 1898

Post by margaretspearin » Fri Feb 27, 2009 2:30 am

Hello I am looking for newspaper reports of the drowning of Michael Mangan in the river Fergus near Bunratty in 1898. He was aged 15 when he drowned. I would like to get information of the tragedy. He was brother to my Grandad John Mangan who was also in the water that day along with 3 or 4 other friends.Can anyone help please.
Thank you
Margaret

Margaret,
according to its website, Clare Library has copies of the Clare Journal of that year in its local studies centre. I would suggest you write to them and they may be able to help you. Worth a try.
Regards,
Mike
