Read on - we should copy and save these emails for when we have time to delve into them....with our info. From: Ken Mason <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2013 4:29 AM Subject: Re: [BEARA] Lowney/o'neil In response to Tami's postings (and the replies of others) I have been taking a look at the available sources of information.  My conclusion is that she should actually be looking for two houses. The first being the home of Michael Lowney and Mary O'Sullivan (Suonish).  Griffiths Valuation shows that to be just a house (no land) and from viewing the map from the 1840s, I suspect that was to the left of the road going into The Glen, North Allihies and is no longer standing.  The second house (and farm) would be the home of Timothy Harrington (Causkey) which I suspect passed from Timothy Causkey to his daughter Johanna and her husband John O'Neill then after Johanna's death, John O'Neill lived there with his second wife, Johanna O'Shea (and children from both marriages).  The 1911 Census shows old John O'Neill at 72 still farming with the assistance of his step-son, Patrick Lowney.  His son John from the first marriage is not shown as having an occupation which may suggest that he was physically handicapped in some way and unable to take over the farming responsibilities himself.  The farm of Timothy Harrington (Causkey) can be identified via the Griffiths Valuation and for those of you that know Allihies, its eastern edge joins the village of Cluin around where the childrens playground is these days (opposite O'Neill's Pub).  I am sending emails to my friends in Allihies (including the person who I think has owned the Causkey farm in more recent times) to seek further clarification and will post again when I get responses from them.  In the meanwhile I am sending maps and photographs directly to Tami to clarify a few things for her. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
