Hi Teresa Very glad to help. That project is very special to me! I am going to forward your information about the accident and Patrick's wife on to the Museum. This is a wonderful story that should be added to the information accumulated about the Miners! The Wall is a beautiful tribute to these "Old Oak Trees!" Without them, where would our world be? If you ever get the chance to see the Wall, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! If you wish to contact the Museum for more information their email address is: director@miningmuseum.org, and their website is www.miningmuseum.org. Very glad to help.

Congratulations on such a wonderful occasion. May you have many more happy years together in great good health! Our very best to you both! Ed & Eileen Shapiro (McAuliffe)

Linda, Thanks so much, I'm amazed at the number of Patrick Murphy's who died in mining accidents in Butte. Our Patrick Murphy is the Bell Diamond explosion on August 4, 1900. Apparently a charge was set on another level and the call went out and he ran the wrong direction, directly into the blast. He left a young wife, Maggie Sullivan Murphy, who was given a year's supply of coal as compensation and she then ran a boarding house in their home. The two young daughters grew up with a marvelously industrious mother, but missing their father. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi Riobard Was this Captain Murtogh O'Sullivan, the same famed Morty Oge who shot Puxley.   As Murtogh is a common name with the O'Sullivan Clan, could there be many that were Captains as well, thus many Captain Murtogh O'Sullivan.   The reason for asking in my family history we have a Captain Murtogh O'Sullivan, family lore states he was the very Morty Oge as he was killed about 1754-56 and share many aspect of Morty life ie served French, frought at Culloden, as well as trading in illegal items.   My Murtagh had a son born 24 December 1749, far as known no other children.   many thank Terry       --- El mié, 24/9/08, Riobard O'Dwyer <beararesearchodwyer@eircom.net> escribió: De: Riobard O'Dwyer <beararesearchodwyer@eircom.net> Asunto: [BEARA] Captain Murtogh O'Sullivan.

Football in Beara did not begin in 1927, but this was the first year that teams from the peninsula affiliated to the Cork County Board. For years before this games between the local teams consisted of a series of hard-fought challenges. The honor of the district was always at stake. There was a sense of shame attached to a defeat, and often a very cool reception awaited the returning vanquished. The early football was 21-a-side. The games were physically rough. Hob-nailed boots ripped many a shin-bone, and fights among players and supporters were frequent. Followers at times were armed with ash-plants for the "fray". Two questions were generally asked by the old people at home when the players returned; (a) Who won the match/game ?; (b) Who won the fight ? One particularly rugged game played a few years later caused a poetic spectator to write to the local newspaper in the following terms:- "The ref he blew the whistle and finished up the game, and of the 30 players, 29 were lame" !! Mort O'Shea of Adrigole used cycle from there all the way to Cork City, and then cycle back again after the match, sometimes to find the Parish Priest outside the door watching in case he wouldn't be back in time for school. Another Adrigole man travelled to the City to play for one of the teams there. The following day, being "broke" (financially ---- as money was very scarce at the time), he chanced his luck for a lift back on the train from the City to West Cork. When the money collector arrived, our man let on to be sound asleep. The ticket collector was about to wake him up when a friend of his came to his aid saying "Yerra, let the poor old devil sleep away there for awhile. He must be dog-tired". The ticket collector passed on, saying he'd return after a while. Our man knew he'd be nabbed if he stayed there much longer, so, when the train arrived in Drimoleague, he jumped out quickly and headed for the road walking. Just outside Drimoleague he came across a stray donkey/ass which he duly "commandeered" and rode all the way back to Adrigole. Just before the Beara G.A.A. Clubs affiliated to the Cork Co. Board in 1927, the Urhan junior team (then unofficial Beara champions) beat the County Senior football Champions, Macroom, in a challenge game in Bantry. Commenting on the game in the "Macroom Notes" in the West Cork newspaper "The Southern Star" the following week, the Macroom correspondent said that Macroon were beaten "by the representatives of that remote land" (Beara). That was what was thought of Beara at the time, because there was little contact between it and the rest of the county.

Hi, Kind of thought I'd hear from you!!! :-D This is something I've wanted to do for years and I suddenly realized that tempus fugit and our traveling is getting difficult. So I decided that if I'm going to do it, I'd better get cracking. To wander around Beara with the kids and grandkids will fulfill a lot of dreams. Of course, I'll go armed with out tree and hope to come up with something new, especially on the Murphy's of whom we know few specifics. Since Riobard did our original research that gave us Daniel Murphy and Catherine Harrington, perhaps I'll ask him to connect me to a few folks there who would definitely stem from our tree. We do know that our Murphy's are from very close to my Sullivan's, so I should run into a cousin or two ( especially given their tendency toward prolificness). ;-) And, yes, there'll be plenty of pix.

I always pre-hire my car at Cork Airport with Budget.

Good central point for touring e.g. Allihies, Eyeries, Bere Island and further afield. Nealie O'Sullivan is the proprietor; food, accomodation and service were first class, with very reasonable rates. You would need to book in advance with the numbers you are planning to take.

Cousin Paul, I'm jealous! You will have to take lots of pictures! Maybe you will find someone who remembers your Sullivans or our Murphys! ;-) Susan On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 4:12 PM, Paul Murphy <fpm60@embarqmail.com> wrote: > Hi, gentle Beara folk, > > I'm contemplating a possible trip of about 2 weeks to Ireland with my > family, up to 11 people (6 adults, 5 children ages 6-21).

You might want to consider Inches House, just outside Eyeries. They have several self-catering cottages. I've stayed there twice. And they are very comfortable new buildings.

Caroleann: I am a Harrington with unknown connection in the Castletown area, on my Father's side. Jeremiah and Margaret (nee Murphy from Eyeries) came to the USA in early 1850s. They went on to Galena, Ill. and Apple River, Wisc.. They brought five children with them; one girl stop at Providence RI to get married to John D. Sullivan in 1854, her name was Cathrine Harrington. The others were Jeremiah (Jerry). Margaret, Timothy and Patrick. We have person in four of the five genealogy lineage doing research; several of us with Riobard. I do have varicose legs! We have no idea of our family name. I do suspect that Jeremiah was in the US about the end of 1830s. I also believe some of the Harrington that came to the New England area might have been related; per Boston College archives. Maybe a connection ???

Hi Paul, I highly recommend Sea Breeze B&B in Castletownbere. It is on the main road to Glengarriff. Have stayed with Noralene McGurn six times and she is terrific. Have a wonderful trip with your family.

Which Irish Heritage site is that? Google identifies dozens. Jack >>> <beara-request@rootsweb.com> 9/21/2008 3:00 AM >>> Today's Topics: 1.

Goodness knows I am grasping at straws but a face comes from past generations. I am told my my uncle that I resembled my great-grandmother Mary Sullivan, Not sure but her photo is up on the site ~~C ------------------------------ To contact the BEARA list administrator, send an email to BEARA-admin@rootsweb.com.
