Sorry for the interruption - just a long shot to see if it is possible to get any information on a family who were from Newtownsandes!

 

 

 

The names I have are

 

 

 

Annie Kennelly - born 1880 died 1951 in Melbourne Australia. Annie left Ireland 1911.

 

 

 

Annie's parents were Michael and Mary

 

 

 

Annie had a brother James whose only address was c/- Post Office Newtown Sandes

 

 

 

and a sister Kate Stack, whose address in America was Long Island New York (and whose daughters are Margaret (Peggy) and May.

 

 

 

I've attached copies of the documents I have.

 

 

 

I'm researching the history of family member Hannah McGuirk (Buckley) - Hannah and Annie were lifelong friends.

 

 

 

Common family names I know - so just a long shot!

 

 

 

Regards

These really are some of my favorite posts, because it makes me happy to remember that there are so many ordinary, unremarkable children in the world who are cherished, doted on, lavished with affection just because they exist. They are not adored because they learned to speak at an early age or because they smell better than most children. They haven’t earned their parents’ love because they are especially clever or easy to care for, or because they show early promise for a lucrative career in show business. They are beloved simply because they are children; and, when all is well, parents love their own children better than they love anyone else. They are beloved simply because they exist.

GLIN to WUHAN: For the last 8 years Glin Knights Cycling Club  has held an Annual Sportive to raise money for various Charities and organisations raising over €90,000. Unfortunately our 2020 sportive has been cancelled due to COVID-19.

 

However we still intend to raise funds this summer as all of our members and friends are going to joining up to compete in a 9,000km challenge. The planned weekend is the 20th and 21st of June. This is the distance from Glin to Wuhan. There is no limit to the Km’s anyone can do, so some may do 20km and others may do 300km (of course weather dependant). We hope to have 60 to 70 cyclists taking part from their homes and all of the time abiding by the guidelines set out by the HSE. We will list out km covered at the end and hopefully we’ll hit our target or even break it.

 

 

 

A Catholic priest has said he does not believe babies were buried in sewage chambers at a Tuam mother and baby home run by nuns, even though a state inquiry has ordered an excavation to verify the existence of a mass grave.

Historian Tom Holland is known primarily as a storyteller of the ancient world. Thus, his newest book Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World, came as something of a surprise for several reasons. First, Tom Holland is not a Christian. Second, Holland’s book is one of the most ambitious historical defenses of Christianity in a very long time.

Vice President Lyndon Johnson waxed enthusiastic about the best and the brightest to his mentor, Speaker Sam Rayburn. They were all so brilliant, LBJ raved, especially “the fellow from Ford with the Stacomb on his hair” (Robert McNamara). Mr. Sam paused (perhaps taking a contemplative sip of bourbon-and-branch) and then replied, “Well, Lyndon, you may be right and they may be every bit as intelligent as you say, but I’d feel a whole lot better about them if just one of them had run for sheriff once.”

I was born Catherine Doody in 1951,daughter of William Doody b 1918 Islandanny Duagh to Humphrey Doody and Catherine Fitzmaurice. I have traced 5 of Humphreys siblings to Indianapolis. Humphreys's

sister Catherine Doody married Timothy Broderick of Lacka East in 1908. 2 sons on 1911 census (Lacka East): John Broderick b1908 Kilmorna, and Michael Broderick b1909, Kilmorna. Any Broderick

relatives reading this please get in touch. Now working on the Brosnan and Barry ancestors of a cousin. Her maternal grandparents were John Brosnan from Shronebeirne Duagh and Catherine Barry from

Lacka East Duagh. They married in 1919. John had siblings who went to Chicago and Catherine had siblings who went to Pittsburgh. I would love someone to explain to me how you define the boundaries of

Islandan(n)y. It has come up on birth & marriage records of people living in the townlands of Lacka East, Shronebeirne & Sluicequarter. I cannot find it on a map. Where was it and where did

the name come from please? I really enjoy browsing through this website. Looking forward to a visit to Kerry in a couple of weeks. Email:cathy@umbers.me.uk

In reply to Lucy Robinson re Relihans of Duagh

Surnames: Relihan, Hartnett
I believe that your great-grandfather, Thomas Relihan, was the son of Michael Relihan and Catherine Hartnett, and a brother to my grandmother, Ellen Relihan, of Ballylongford, Co. Kerry. When Ellen, 18 in 1878, decided to go to California, her brother Thomas went with her as chaperone. Thomas worked in the gold mines of Nevada and on a "plantation" near Los Angeles before returning to Ireland. He married Mary Brosnan and had a son, Michael, known as "Mick the Yank" because his father had been to the U.S. My aunt and cousin visited them in 1937 in Duagh. I have a photo from that trip showing the Irish Relihans in front of the house where Ellen Relihan was born. I have more information, including Ellen's letters to her father, and will gladly share.


Re: In reply to Lucy Robinson re Relihans of Duagh

Surnames: Relihan, Hartnett/Harnett
Sorry! I mixed generations in my previous message to you. My records indicate that Thomas Relihan, your great-grandfather, did indeed marry Mary Dillon upon his return to Ireland from the U.S. My records of their children include Catherine (m. Hartnett); Fr. Thomas (who died in 1935 in California); Ellen (m. Dillen); Mary (m Kelly); James; Margaret (m. Connell); John; and Michael (your grandfather) b.1890. Michael married Mary (sic) Bresnen (sic). They had eight children: Fr. Thomas Relihan, who was living in Susanville, California, in 1979; James; Michael; Daniel; Ellen (m. Bryan Gribbon/Gribben); Mary; Philomene (m. Michael Giles), and Catherine (m. Sean Downey).

Hi all,

 

I previously left a posting on 30/12 regarding the Lyons family asking for help with my research. At the time I didn't know my great great grandmothers name but now I have more information. Her name was Mary Dillane and she was married to John Lyons. They had children Hannah born 1844, John born 1848, Ellen born 1850, Patrick (my great grandfather) born 1856, Denis born 1860, Johanna born 1863. They were all born in Duagh parish. I think son John married Catherine Donoghue in 1876. Patrick was a policeman and I believe Denis may have been too. I think the surname Lyons was quite common in Co. Kerry. If anyone recognises the family can you please contact me.

 

Regards.

Janice Young nee Lyons.

Hi to all my ex neighbours, I hope you are all well.

May be you can help me, I'm trying to trace information from the 1911 census, in particular Thomas Hickey married to Winnie who were 38 and 39 in 1911 and had children James aged 3, Jeremiah 2 and Cornelius aged 8, just wondering if they were any relation to Thomas and Mary Hickey nee Stack late of Knockaunbrack.

Any feed back would be much appreciated.

 

Kind regards to all that may still remember me.

Hello,

Love your site and will be back often to look. On looking thru your messages, have found a few to comment on. Reidy/Dillon- I don't know if Knocknagoshel is near my Connell's from Lyre, Patrick and Julia Dillane Connell, married 1822 Lixnaw. Some of their children went to a small area in Connecticut, Jeremiah b. 1840, and John b. 1839. first lived in Washington, DC before moving to Norfolk, CT. I was there this last summer there are many grave inscriptions siting the parish they came from. I recall many Dillons and some Reidy's as i believe there is a connection to my O'Connells. A nearby town Winsted has William, Maurice, and Joseph Reidy plus others i am sure.

A Daniel Reidy was pallbearer at Lizzie O'Connell funeral 1908,Winsted

Father William Reidy of South Manchester, Connecticut was celebrant of Jeremiah O'Connell funeral 1930, Winsted, also Edward, and Daniel Reidy were pallbears of same funeral.

David D. Reidy, residing in Winsted had a son named Dillon.

 

On looking around for Julia Dillane, I have found a Baptismal record for julia Dillane Nov. 22, 1806. Parents David and Ellen Finucane. I noted some one else here looking for a Dillane/Finucane connection.

thanks for the great site.

Hi, I'm researching my family history which is Kerry based and I was wondering if any descendents of my family who might live in Kerry would be able to help with my research.

 

My great-grand father was Patrick Lyons who was born in 1856 in , I believe, Duagh. His father was John Lyons, a farmer, and I am not sure of his mother's name. Patrick joined the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1876 and was recommended by an inspector at Listowel Barracks. He retired as Head Constable in 1903 to Tullamore, Co Offaly which was one of the counties he served in and where his wife Mary Anne came from. He died in 1945. He may have had a brother called Denis.

 

Any information would be gratefully received.

Hello, all.

 

I'm seeking information on Dillanes & O'Learys of Listowel/Duagh with connections to Duagh Finucanes. If anyone recognizes these lines, please do contact me.

 

My great, great grandparents were David Dillane, born about 1805-1810 in Listowel/Duagh, and Mary O'Leary, also Listowel/Duagh born, also born about 1805-1810.

 

The earliest Listowel baptismal records on line for any David Dillane date to 1807 and 1808:

1] David, son of John & Bridget Brown, sponsors Prenderville, Hogan[1807]; 2] David, son of Mathew & Bridget [1808]

 

I don't think that either of those is my David Dillane. At a guess, from naming patterns of their sons, David's father was probably an Edward/Edmund, or a Patrick or a Michael, in that order of likelihood.

And David's grandfather was probably a David Dillane. Other family given names include Timothy.

 

Most of the baptismal records for their children are missing from the on-line database. The ones that I've located are:

 

1] Patrick, bapt. 3/30/1830, Duagh;

2] Michael, bapt. 10/28/1832 , Duagh

3]Catherine, bapt. 1/7/1843, Dromin, Listowel

 

Sponsors of these children had surnames Finuscane, Lyons, Dillane (Michael). There seems to have been several lines of Dillanes who carried the given name David in this period in both Listowel/Dromin and Duagh. I presume that my David's grandfather was a David Dillane and all these lines with fathers named David whose children were baptized during the 1820s and 1830s were closely related.

 

This family immigrated to Pittsburgh PA, 1848, and settled temporarily in a neighborhood with Finuscanes who remained in Pittsburgh. The Dillanes went on to Iowa, where various Lyons served as sponsors in baptism to several grandchildren.

 

My great great grandfather's children spoke of themselves as being from Listowel.

Hello all,

 

 

 

I have been researching my family history for the past year and just found this wonderful website, so I thought I would post my Lyreacrompane connection.

 

 

 

I don’t know much about my Hickey family, but I do know they are from Lyreacrompane. My mother, a Hickey, was born in Duagh Parish, and grew up in Kerry, adjacent to Abbeyfeale. Her Hickeys came from Lyreacrompane. My grandfather was Jeremiah Hickey (1888-1957), the son of James Hickey and Ellen (Ellie) Lyne (Lyons) of Lyreacrompane, Knockaunbrack, Trienearagh, and County Kerry, Ireland. Jeremiah married Bridget Dower in 1921. My great-grandparents James and Ellen had, I believe, 10 children, all from Lyreacrompane: Cornelius (1868; wife Mary Cronin), Margaret (1869; Husband Michael Ahern), Thomas (1872; wife Minnie), Michael (1874; wife Elizabeth Ahern), Denis (1876), James (1879), Mary (1883), Patrick (1886), Jeremiah (1888), and Ellen (year unknown).

 

 

 

We are also related to Dower (Dore) and Connor or O’Connor from that general area, and the O’Briens from Purt.

 

 

 

Would love to make connections and get additional information about family.

 

 

 

All the best,

After a busy day, dinner, and getting the kids to bed, heaven forbid if sifting through a stack of parenting studies isn’t the first way you choose to unwind!

Still it’s a shame to miss out on what science can tell us about raising happy learners. In the interest of your sanity, we’ve gathered eight extraordinary, somewhat counterintuitive findings about fostering children’s success. Try them and report back to us — we’d love to know how they worked for you!

1. Praise the work, not the wit

Not all positive reinforcement is, well, positive. Numerous studies have shown that children who are praised for their work ethic are better at solving critical thinking problems than those praised for ability. Those praised for effort were almost three times as likely to focus on learning rather than “looking smart.”

2. Minimize your unexcused absences

Research has shown that you should make the extra effort to be physically present in your child’s classroom. In fact, attending class meetings and volunteering at school better predicts literacy development than your family’s income.

3. Use the TV to channel critical thinking

Let’s face it — prying our kids away from the TV is no small feat. New research shows that we might be better off using this habit to facilitate learning. Try muting the commercials and asking your child simple questions while she watches TV. What just happened? What do you think about that? These questions teach children to be effective critical thinkers and communicators.

4. Fear not the $5 word

Many parents assume they should use simple words with kids to avoid confusion. But new research suggests we may be wildly underestimating their brainpower. Children whose parents used complex language were found to have significantly higher IQ’s (a formidable 40 points) than children whose parents did not — suggesting that young brains become wired early for complex thought.

5. Soothe the soul with nature

According to research, communing with nature isn’t just a nice recreational activity. Natural settings increase a sense of self-worth and decrease stress — two important factors in priming the mind to learn. One study has even shown that natural settings can help relieve symptoms of AD/HD. When children with AD/HD participated in the same activities both inside and outside, those in the outdoor settings experienced fewer symptoms.

6. Behind every smart child is a collection of good books

While reading to children is crucial, don’t underestimate the importance of simply giving your kid access to a lot of books. Studies have found that a child raised in a book-friendly environment — with at least 50 children’s books in the home — scores five percentile points higher in math and reading than kids with less access to good reads.

 

7. Attend to the body and wake up the mind

The body-brain connection is far from fully understood, but research suggests that children’s learning abilities are inextricably tied to physical vitality. When 33 schools in Ontario, Canada, participated in a program called Living School aimed at increasing student’s physical activity by about 20 minutes a day and improving nutrition, some schools bellyached about lost class time. But in the end, participating school showed enormous improvement. Overall scores climbed 18% in just two years. Third-grade reading scores alone shot up by 50%. Ontario’s education experiment suggests that sometimes basketball practice facilitates learning as much if not more than another after-school tutoring session.

8. Child labor with a higher purpose

According to new research, children of all ages who perform household chores gain valuable skills, which they can apply to school learning. In one study, children as young as two years old who performed household chores like matching socks or wiping up kitchen spills ended up having more-successful educational experiences and careers.

 

 

THE DEMISE OF THE SMALL PRODUCERS

Mr G phoned me today to arrange delivery of my pork. He has been raising rare-breed, free range pork in the foot of the Dublin mountains and selling it direct to public. Like all small producers, he is passionate about his product. The quality of this pork is second-to-none. Rare breed pork, such as Gloucester Old Spot and Middle Whites, roam outside, all day, every day, in a large field, doing what pigs should do - rooting around, turning over the soil, digging, rolling in mud. They stay in their family unit, each family having its own, purpose-built wooden hut, laid with straw. The sow births naturally without the need of farrowing crates. A few days before the birth she gathers the straw together to make a nest and because she has been allowed to act naturally no piglets have been lost.

As a consumer, or as Carlo Petrini calls us, a co-producer, I too have a responsibility for this port. I pay €100 deposit when a piglet is born. This is my pig which will then be cared for until ready for despatch with any veterinary bills paid for by Mr G. These are happy pigs. The piglets stay with their mother for up to 9 months at which point they are transported to a small, independent slaughter-house. The carcass is then transported to the local butchers, owned by the slaughterhouse, and cut and packaged to my requirements. It is then delivered to my home by Mr G, ready for my freezer.

The cost to me? €9 per kilo, i.e., the average price of supermarket pork, which is intensively reared, indoors, with the use of farrowing crates, the piglets being removed from their mother when less than a month old - I'm sure I don't need to describe the conditions of intensive farming but it's as bad as you imagine.

In Slow Food we are all very good at championing "Good, Clean and Fair" but how many of us, honestly and truly, put this into practice? Go now and have a look in your kitchen, how many products are locally produced? How many are seasonal? Or is it full of mass-produced, supermarket brands?

Unfortunately, this is the last pork I will receive from Mr G as he is "shutting up shop" as he can't find enough customers for this excellent product. How many more small producers are we going to lose because we, the co-producer, don't actually practice what we preach and simply prefer the convenience of the local supermarket and its impersonal, mass-produced food?
