Post by matthewmacnamara » Thu Dec 28, 2017 3:29 pm

In the aftermath of the Fenian Rising of 1867 the question of the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland arose. Gladstone had disestablishment passed into law in 1869.

White, John Hickey, Michael Grimes, and Pat Hickey. [Limerick Chronicle, March 26, 1868]

Hi Matthew

I in the middle of fully transcribing the Parteen and Meelick Parish Records, which will be available in April 2019 on this site, the names that you are quoting within this article (obviously) appear in the registers.

Take Care

Dear Jeff,
Thanks for your response.

I have two further lists of 1860 and 1864
farmers from the half parish of Meelick.
I you wish, I can print and post them to you.

My mother's family were Ringrose from the Meelick townland of
Buaile na Casca [Boulanacausk] where they still farm.
