Grogan and Quinlivan of Kilrush and Limerick
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 12:08 am
I have discussed the Quinlivan family extensively in this forum and with many of the descendants over the years, e.g.

and

I noticed over the years that Fr. Laurence Browne (whose mother was a Quinlivan) was executor or administrator of a number of estates including the following at

Calendar of Wills and Administrations 1906:
`GROGAN Mary [388] 18 August Administration of the estate of Mary Grogan late of Market-square Kilrush County Clare
Widow who died 24 July 1905 granted at Dublin to The Reverend Laurence J. Browne P.P. Effects
£ 1,743 6s. 6d. (Limited).'
Stupidly, I missed the fact that there was no will in this case and that Fr. Browne was granted Administration (Limited). This suggests that he was related to the deceased, or at least appointed by her relatives to act on their behalf.
In 1901, Mrs. Grogan was already widowed, aged 70, b. Co. Limerick, boarding with Anne Breene:

This is the house on the corner of Market Square and Frances Street, now part of Patrick Bourke's menswear shop. It had been in Grogan hands since before Slater's 1846 directory.
Fr. Browne died on 15 September 1909 without completing the administration and a second grant was issued to Michael Killeen solicitor on 22 Jan 1910:

Calendar of Wills and Administrations 1910 p.242:
`GROGAN Mary [42] 22 January Administration of the Unadministered Estate of Mary Grogan late
of Market Square Kilrush County Clare Widow who died 24 July 1905 granted at Dublin to
Michael Killeen Solicitor Effects £ 1,877 16s. 4d. (Former Grant 18 August 1906)'.
I will be ordering the administration packets on my next visit to the National Archives.
John Grogan and Mary Quinlivan had eight children baptised in Kilrush parish between 1858 and 1870.
As Fr. Browne's mother was a Quinlivan, she was probably closely related to Mrs. Grogan, explaining how her son ended up as administrator.
The birth of the sixth child of John Grogan and Mary Quinlivan is reported as follows at
http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclar ... iages1.htm
1865 13th November (CJ).
Birth: On Friday at Market Street,Kilrush the widow of Mr. John Grogan of a son
However, reports of John's death appear to have been greatly exaggerated as he had two more children and did not die until 26 April 1900 aged 75, leaving effects of £ 1,408 14s. 11d. See

My questions are where and when did John Grogan marry Mary Quinlivan, who were her parents and where does she fit into the extended Quinlivan family?
rootsireland.ie has no marriage of a j grogan to a quinlivan, so the marriage probably took place somewhere in Clare, despite the fact that the bride was born in Limerick.
