A new posting at viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7001 may have something for your family, if further research is done into the Jan 1848 convictions of those listed, for the murder of Martin McMahon of Carhumore near Sixmilebridge.
I have several news articles for the widow of a Martin McMahon, noting the widow's birth in 1785 at Kilmurray (of which there are 3, one being just north of Sixmilebridge). Her death at age 103 occurred in 1888. Her husband named Martin was reported as dying in about 1846, and her son Martin born 1808 had been "unaccounted for" many years. If current family members don't have exact death info for these Martins, finding more on the crime in Polycarp's posting may be fruitful.
