The Irish-American New York City, NY Jan. 21, 1895 We regret to announce the death of Mr. Wm. Lane Joynt, D.L. which took place at his residence, 43 Merrion square, Dublin, on January 3d. Born in Limerick in 1824, Mr. Joynt was apprenticed to the late Sir Mathew Barrington and early distinguished himself in his profession. He enjoyed the singular distinction of having been elected Mayor of his native city of Limerick-the oldest Chartered Corporation in the British empire-and of being subsequently chosen Lord Mayor of Dublin, to which city he removed many years ago. He was one of the dignitaries who received the American Rifle Team on their first memorable visit to Ireland; and his son accompanied the Irish Rifle Team (as one of the "reserves") on their return to America. Mr. Joynt's remains were conveyed to Limerick for interment in the family vault. A melancholy shooting accident occurred on January 3d, resulting in the death of Mr. Richard J. Kane, of Whitehall, Parteen. He had bee out shooting during the day, in his own grounds and not returning, search was made, when his dead body was found among the shrubbery. One barrel of his gun was discharged, and the contents had penetrated the left lung, near the heart, causing instant death. It is supposed that the trigger had been caught by a branch while deceased was pushing his way through the bushes. The Irish-American New York City, NY Nov. 10, 1888 On Oct. 12, at his residence, Cahervalla, Kilpeacon, Mr. Edward Hannan (formerly of Newtown, county Limerick), died, aged 80 years, deeply regretted by his family and a large circle of friends. His remains were interred in Cahercorney Churchyard, on the following Sunday, and the cortege was the largest witnessed there for many years.

Hi there I'm looking for any link to the HENWICK descendants from Carrickfergus. According to family legend my GGGrandfather hails from this area. Fred (or Frederick ?) *c.1825 settled in the Cape Colony, which later became South Africa. Unfortunately I don't have much info, except knowing that he was married to Christina DENNIS c.1846. I have found a grave inscription which just might pertain to Fred, although the spelling of the surname is HUNWICK. This could be him, but maybe incorrect spelling? DEPOT Genealogical Society of SA DESCRIPTION Hunwick, F - Gravestone. STARTING 0000 ENDING 18590401 REMARKS Old Grahamstown Cemetery, Grahamstown, Western Cape. SUMMARY + Frederick Hunwick. Died 01-04-1859. Aged 33 years, 11 months and 15 days. Father of William Frederick Hunwick I have also found a letter from Christina in the South African Archives. Mrs E LYNAR: Misc correspondence The letter is addressed to the State Archives. Dated 4 July 1915 from 28 Armstrong Street, Port Elizabeth The writer tells of Mrs E.A. Lynar, living in Uitenhage, who was born on board ship on 19 Aug 1825, a few days before her arrival at the Cape. Her maiden name was DENNIS, she married a HENWICK, and then a LYNAR. Her parents were form Ireland, but it was not known whether she sailed direct. She gives a list of ships that arrived in Table Bay around this time: Penelope from English Downs, Maria from English Downs; HMS Champion from Portsmouth; Abel Tasman from Tasmania, Mulgrave Castle, which wrecked off Green Point, Venus from Cowes, Alpha from Rio de Janeiro and HMS Espregle. The writer suspects that she was on the Champion and needs confirmation that this is so. Signed: E.A. Henwick The archives writes back to Mr E.A. Henwick and says there is no record of any DENNIS's on the ship. However, children born at sea were normally registered at Stepney, London, and the writer would be advised to check there. LYNAR, Edward Alexander Fawcet, b. Ireland c.1833 d. Uitenhage, 4 May 1907. I would appreciate any pointers.
