My wife brought to my attention a company offering a unique pattered Aran sweater for every Irish clan. I said that this was probably a benign con. Is this opinion correct? Likewise the crest for every clan is questionable. Any opinions? Cousin Bill

Can anyone please assist with the following? My family includes a JOHN TEEVAN who was born about 1838 in Ireland (County Cavan I believe). John served in the 27th Foot (Inniskilling/ Enniskillen) where he was a Private. I know he was in the 27th Foot by 1868 and that he married Emma Taylor in Dover (May 1868) when stationed at the Western Heights Barracks. He died in 1879 in Hamilton, Scotland and was then a general worker ~ former Private.. My question relates to the following website which refers to the award of an Indian Mutiny Medal being awarded to a John TeeRan. Everything fits apart from the middle letter of the surname. I suspect that this is a transcription error and I have tried contacting the site owner to no avail. Can anyone suggested (without me visiting the Archives in London) how I may easily investigate this further. http://users.rootsweb.com/~indwgw/MutinyT1.htm Any assistance much appreciated. Bob

My ggg grandfather, Darby McGrath, was tried at Fermanagh on 9 March 1833. His brother John was also tried at Fermanagh on 18 July 1838. Both were sent to Port Jackson (Sydney), I believe from Dublin. Darby was transported in 1834 on the Royal Sovereign and John in 1839 on the Waverley. They may have come from Tyrone but family history says Darby was from Waterford. I am interested in finding where the Fermanagh courts were. Do any records exist of trials at that point? Would it be likely that the trials were reported in local papers? If yes, what papers would they be and do records of that period still exist? Thanks very much Anne Whiteford

I'm not sure if Ryan was imprisoned also, but I know that O'Kelly was. Thanks! Hello Joni: Indeed there is quite a lot on Sean. First though I will tell you that while he is index as O'Kelly his brother Michael is indexed as O'Ceallaigh Michael is on pages 64, 77 and 138 in 'Frongoch' 64 states that he is Sean's brother; 77 states that his sketches are preserved in the National Museum; 138 states again that he and Sean were brothers. In the list of those in the camp; they are both listed as O'Kelly both of 27 Upper Rutland Street, Dublin [page 191]. Sean is listed as John T. Sean Thomas is of course in 'Frongoch'; the '1916 Handbook' and 'A curious Journey'. It was with his mother that Pearse went to stay prior to Easter Sunday. On page 281 of '1916 Handbook': O'Kelly, John T, Secretary of the Gaelic League was deported after the Rising and released at Christmas. At a meeting of the Dublin Corporation on Monday, 8th January, 1917, he was co-opted a member of that body to represent Inns Quay Ward, for which he had become disqualified by reason of absence from the Council during the statutory period. He was again arrested on Thursday, 22 February 1917, and deported to England. In 'Frongoch'. It states that he was a TD for Dublin Central and voted against the Treaty. He was Captain, Staff Officer to Pearse in GPO during Easter Week. There is a bit about him ending with 'and finally President of Ireland 1945-1959'; so I'm sure that you will be able to find references to him in most books about 1916 and afterwards. If you do not know about his subsequent career I transcribe the paragraph from the book for you. You did not say where John Ryan came from. There is one in Dublin. if you let me know I may be able to sort out which one is yours. The Jim Ryan is the gentleman who was the medical officer who attended James Connelly after he was shot. There is reference to him in 'A Curious Journey' on page 72. Also references to him in 'Frongoch'. Best wishes Helenor

Hello all, Genealogy takes on a different perspective once one of your parents dies. I've eventually updated my database. It now covers the Irish convicts to NSW during 1829. They arrived on board twenty six ships although Charles Bateson's "Convict Ship" book shows only twenty one. The ribbon men & boys are starting to arrive following their outrages in agrarian Ireland. Some of their crimes are unlawful oaths, firearms, attacking dwelling houses, manslaughter, maiming & cutting, arson and abduction. Amongst the arrivals were convict who would later be executed for their bushranging activities during the Bathurst Riots of 1830. However, I noticed a young convict named James Jewall/Jewell who had arrived on the "Larkins (2)" under a seven years sentence for stealing. His entry in the ship's main surname Indent didn't suggest this poor 19 year old's future fate. His fate appeared on a separate page of the Indent and reads as follows: James Jewall/Jewell per Larkins 22 December 1829 Seven years 17 April 1830 - Twenty five lashes - neglect of Duty and leaving his Station without permission. 4 June 1830 - Six months to an iron gang - Making away with his --- clothing 4 April 1831 - Fifty lashes - Absconding 30 April 1831 - Five days solitary confinement - Absconding 5 November 1831 - Seven days treadmill - Absent from work under false pretences 29 November 1831 - Fifty lashes - Absconding 12 March 1832 - Twenty five lashes - Absenting 16 March 1832 - Seven days solitary confinement - Disorderly conduct 1 December 1832 - Twenty five lashes - Absconding 29 December 1832 - Fifty lashes - Absconding 6 August 1833 - 12 months iron gang - Absconding 2nd time 29 January 1834 - Twenty five lashes - Insolence 15 February 1834 - Twelve lashes - refusing to work 20 October 1834 - One month irons - disobedience of orders 23 March 1835 - Fifty lashes - Absenting 10 May 1836 - 12 months iron gang - Having stolen property in possession 1837 - 2 years in irons for larceny January 1840 - 2 months treadmill James received his Certificate of Freedom in 1841 with reference no C41/830.

Hi Joni, Is Sean T. O'Ceallaigh a relative of yours? In "Michael Collins The Man Who Won The War" by T.

From The Cork Examiner, 1 November 1865 - HORRIBLE MURDER.--A murder has been perpetrated at St. Just, near the Land's End, the alleged murderer being Sergeant Goodyre[1], of the local Rifle Corps, and the victim his wife. It was at first supposed that the deceased had died by her own hands, but further inquiry has led to the conviction that [she] has been cruelly murdered by her husband. On Wednesday last the deceased was found dead in the kitchen of their house. It appears they had both been drinking on the previous evening, and the sergeant states that he left his wife at midnight, when he [sic] went to bed in the kitchen, and that in the morning he was awoke by hearing her call the children, but that on going down he found her dead. An inquest was opened the same day before Mr. John Roscorla, county coroner, and adjourned to Friday to allow of a post mortem examination being made, when the evidence adduced was that the deceased had been stabbed in the womb by a sword or bayonet. The jury returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against Sergeant Goodyre, who was apprehended and brought before the county magistrates at Penzance on Saturday. He was fully committed for trial on the charge. The prisoner was formerly colour-sergeant in the 36th Regiment. 1-- Cork Examiner of 2 November 1865 gives name as "Codyre." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

From The Cork Examiner, 21 October 1878 - KINSALE PETTY SESSIONS--SATURDAY (Mr. R. C. Pratt, in the chair.) Other magistrates present--Messrs. M. C. Cramer and G. R. Cronin, R.M. ANTI-VACCINATION AGAIN. The guardians of the Kinsale Union again charged John Savage for not getting his child vaccinated. Mr. Savage did not appear. Andrew Whitelaw, in reply to the bench, deposed that he was the officer appointed by the guardians to carry the provisions of the Vaccination Act into execution, and as far as he knew Helena Savage was not vaccinated up to the present. Dr. Dorman, Registrar, in reply, said--I have received no certificate to prove that the child is vaccinated. She was born on the 17th December, 1876, and as far as I know she is not vaccinated up to the present. The defendant was fined £1 and costs, or a fortnight's imprisonment, without hard labour. Mr. J. Williams made an application to the bench to grant a renewal of the wholesale license held by Messrs. Beamish & Crawford in Kinsale. The application was granted. Timothy Keohane applied for an order from the bench to enter upon the lands of Timothy Donovan and use the stuff thereon in filling up the foundation of the new western bridge that he is building. The order was granted, but Keohane was reminded that he should pay any surface damage done to the land. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
