Hi Leonie, The nearest match would seem to be Dunguaire (or Dungory), which is near Kinvara, Co. Galway. Dunguaire is famous for its castle which is a tourist attraction and you will find many entries for it on a Google search.

I spent some time in March going through the Landed Estate Court rental lists at the National Archives in Dublin. They are copies of detailed advertisements of estates that were being put up for sale. I just noticed in an issue of the Freeman's Journal newspaper, a report of a typical estate sale, listing the purchasers and prices. If you have found an ancestor's rental in a list of landed estate properties, it might be worth searching the Dublin newspapers of the period for a report if it was sold. -dja

1st, I was wondering about how to find out about tracing the Doyle name from the Colorado region on back. Where in the world do I begin? Secondly, some opinions on how well or poorly received this situation is. My biological father was a Doyle from a, as I understand it, pretty staunch Irish Catholic family not too far removed from 1st-generation. (His grandparents I believe.) I actually never met any of them, and will very likely never will. But I'm very absorbed with my "Irish heritage," even though I have no actual family history to go on. I have been since college in the late 80's, long before Irish culture became popular in American entertainment in the mid-late 90's. (This is probably the kicker, but I started going by "Liam" (my name's William) circa 1992. I can see that as being a bit over-the-top, but to be honest I like the sound of "Liam" a millions times more than "Bill." which never made sense to me. AND add to that, my last step-father legally adopted me changing my last name from Doyle. If I didn't already have a wife and daughter that would be affected by the change, I'd change it back to Doyle, or since I have no actual family connections, maybe Dubhghaill, in a second. Is that going too far?) So, being so interested in Irish heritage even though I'm 50% Irish through genetics alone, is that kind of silly? Is that looked upon with a raised eyebrow, as I'm afraid it is? What are some thoughts on it? Thanks!

G'day I am looking for Anne Gregg, but my emails to her are bouncing. Does anyone have a contact for her? regards Ian Donaldson

THE CONNAUGHT JOURNAL Galway, Thursday, September 16, 1824 PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE LIMERICK, SEPT. 11 - Last night, about eight o'clock, a young villain ran into the shop of Mr. Myles, of Rutland-street, and snatching a candle-stick, effected his escape, notwithstanding a very close pursuit after him. - There were several persons standing in the shop at the time. Thursday night a man named Walsh, driver in Captain Comptons's estates, in the Liberties, was beaten by a party of fellows near Mungret. He states that they struck him with the butt-ends of their pistols, and threatened his life. His head is severely injured, and his body contused in almost every part. Colonel Parker, of the 39th Regiment, went to Abbeyfeale on Thursday, to investigate and inquire into the circumstances connected with the riot there. Daniel Reardon and William Hartnett, two of the rioters in Abbeyfeale, are in such danger, that little hopes are entertained of their recovery. The unfortunate man, Roche, who was shot on Sunday, in Abbeyfeale, said, the evening of that melancholy occurrence, that he forgave the soldier who had fired at him, and requested that none of his friends should take any part in bringing him to trial. On the inquest they did not produce a single witness or seem any way anxious about the affair. It is reported that one of the men, wounded at Abbeyfeale on Sunday has since died of the wound he received. The home of a dairyman, named Rahilly, on the lands of Drewcourt, Barony of Upper Connelloe, in this county, was broken into by a gang of fellows, who demanded money to buy powder; on being refused, they robbed the house of two firkins of butter, two hundred of bleached linen yarn, and two pairs of shoes. And on the night of Tuesday last, the house of a man at Rockhill, in the same barony, was maliciously burned. In both these cases informations have been sworn before that valuable Magistrate, G. Massy, Esq. of Glenwilliam. One hundred tons of timber has been purchased during this week from Mr. O'Neill, of this city, for the construction of a floating raft for the management of the diving bell at the bridge works. At the fair of Hospital, on Wednesday, a fight commenced about dusk, in the streets, between two fellows, opposite the house of a man named Fleming whose son was then putting up the shutters, and on seeing the Police some up, he went into his house, where he was followed by two Sub-Constables stationed in that town. The Police suspecting that he was one of the rioters, were dragging him out, and on his refusing to comply, one of them named Joseph Bell, stabbed him deliberately with a bayonet in the hips. The wound, which is four inches in depth, is considered very dangerous by the Police Surgeon, Mr. Franklin, jun., who visited the man shortly after. Bell has been committed by the High Sheriff, who has taken the depositions of the wounded man. We cannot but advert to the number of injuries of this kind inflicted by these Constables, especially when contrasted with the humane and steady demeanor of the Peace Police, of which we have a meritorious instance in the conduct of one of that Police at the riot in Abbeyfeale on Sunday last.

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Mayo, Ireland Wednesday, March 27, 1850 MISCELLANEOUS The amount of presentments applied for in the county Galway this assizes was £19,000. There was no breach of the peace or disturbance in any part of Ulster on St. Patrick's day. Guy Burton, superanuated Excise Officer, threw himself out of a window at Plymouth, on Monday in a fit of delirium tremens and was killed. The trial of 18 Ribbonmen and five Orangemen for riotous assembly at Dolly's Brae, is postponed to the summer assizes at Downpatrick. William Escott, for forging a bill of exchange for £20, was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment by Mr. Sergeant Murphy at Cork on Thursday. The steam-packets of the City Dublin Company, on the Upper and Lower Shannon, hoisted their colours, and fired a salute, for the Government mail contract taken by this popular Company. Mr. Christopher Farrelly, provision dealer, late of Phibsborough, was found drowned at the North Wall, Dublin, on Wednesday. Mr. Farrelly had left home on Tuesday morning for the purpose of going to market. In March, 1849, there were 14,367 persons receiving in door and outdoor relief in the Limerick Union, at a weekly expenditure of £698, and in March, 1850, the number is reducted to 7,700, at a cost of £380 weekly including hospital attendance, &c. This is an agreeable contract. Tuam Meeting of Guardians, Major Burke handed in notice of motion "that all horses employed in the cultivation of the soil, as also all ploughs and harrows, will not be interfered with by the collectors, as any such distress is contrary to law, independent of the hardship to the poor." The tide of emigration again has set in at Liverpool, six vessels for New York alone lay in the Mersey on Tuesday awaiting for the tide. The aggregate number of their passengers were 3,000. Meanwhile hundreds are awaiting to depart by other ships. All the market towns in Clare, Tipperary, and Galway are full of potatoes, and the puzzle is where they could have been hid since last year, when the article was so scarce. Manifestly the produce would not keep longer, and it was concealed by many who last year threw their families on outdoor relief. BAD COMPANY! - John Fogarty was hanged last August at the county gaol for the murder of his neighbor, Daniel Dillon, in Cappamore, at the instigation of Dillon's wife, also executed at the same time. Now it is a remarkable illustration of the old adage, that Mathew and William Gavan, brothers, and very young men, under sentence this assizes for the murder of John Ryan, also at Cappamore, were next door neighbours of that same John Fogarty, who died an ignominious death on the scaffold last year--Limerick Chronicle. David Fitzgerald, a crown witness, at last summer assizes for this county, when John Hennessy, Michael Culhane, Patrick Dempsey, and Michael Nash, were convicted of a violent attack upon Mr. Loughlin Sharpe, steward to Lord Monteagle, so as to endanger life, at South Cappa, on the 6th of May, and who was sentenced to transportation for life, was found drowned in a bog hole, near the Roman Catholic chapel of Stonehall, on Saturday, with the sinews of both arms cut through, across the elbow joint, and his throat also desperately lacerated.--Ibid. Emigration is amazingly on the increase, not, however, so much to Canada as to the United States, and the train from Limerick to Dublin is daily crowded with intending emigrants, mostly all agricultural, and who embark for their destination at Liverpool. The banks in Limerick are hourly paying out money upon the orders remitted by the friends of those people in America, who emigrated the last and preceding years. There are nine vessels at the quays taking passengers- three for New York and six for Quebec. The question of the power of the Kilkenny grand jury to reduce the salaries of their officers five per cent, having been brought before Judge Torrens, his lordship stated that a similar matter had arisen in Cavan, and that the officers whose salaries were there reduced have taken steps for bringing the question into the Queen's Bench. Under these circumstances he recommended the grand jury to reconsider the resolution. James Devereaux and John M'Carthy, tried at Clonmel assizes, for the homicide of private Joshua Scovell, 43d, at Tipperary, were acquitted. On Wednesday, at Fermoy, Thomas Pingleton, and English hatter on the tramp, hung himself out of the bedstead, in which he had been sleeping. John Glynn, for the murder of Anne Clayton, near Kinevara, was tried and acquitted at Galway assizes. A meeting of the friends of the society for instructing the Irish speaking population in the Holy Scriptures, through their own language, was held on Friday evening, in the school house Derry. The Lord Bishop of Derry, the Dean of Derry, the Rev. Dr. Singer, Regius Professor Trinity College, and a large number of the clergy attended. The Bishop of Derry was moved to the chair, and addressed the meeting on behalf of the society. The Rev. Daniel Foley, of Clonmel, then delivered an address, which occupied two hours, in which he set before his audience the strong claims which the Irish society had upon them.

From The Cork Examiner, 3 August 1878 - SKIBBEREEN, THURSDAY.--The annual excursion for the Skibbereen workhouse children, originated by their worthy medical officer, Dr. Daniel Donovan, came off on Tuesday last. The place chosen this year was Baltimore and Sherkin, in order to have the pleasure of meeting their late chaplain (Rev. Morgan Sheehy, C.C., Sherkin). They were accompanied, as usual by the Chaplain, Rev. D. O'Brien, Dr. Donovan, their active, painstaking master, Mr. Samuel Jervois, the schoolmaster and mistress. A talented musician accompanied them to Baltimore and from thence to Sherkin Island to Father Sheehy's, where the juveniles enjoyed themselves on the green opposite his residence, dancing and singing, and subsequently partook of the good things provided for them and heartily enjoyed themselves. They concluded by cheering for Fathers Sheehy, O'Brien, and their charitably disposed benefactor Dr. Donovan, as well as for their painstaking master. In passing through Skibbereen and Baltimore the appearance, cleanliness and ruddy look of the children were the admiration of all. And their great change is entirely due to the care, attention and discipline exercised by the good Sisters of Mercy, whose entire care they are under in the schools and hospitals, and it is no wonder the guardians so often congratulate themselves on effecting this change, so much to the advantage of the ratepayers' pockets and the care of the poor children. The public were indeed pleased and delighted with their appearance on Tuesday last.--Correspondent. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Hi Listers, I have a couple of very specific questions on Parish Records that need clarifying in Belfast, and I hope they should be available at Balmoral Avenue (PRONI). I'd be happy to reciprocate with any Melbourne, Australia research needed, and also have access to some records in other states of Australia, if required. TIA, Dawn Woods, Melbourne.

I would like to contact the current owner of Ratharney House in Abbeyshrule. I have tried several sites that list the property but with only a phone number (a bit expensive from Australia).
