Sean Prendergast died in September 2009. I compiled Obituary for him at the time of his death but unable to locate it now. A lifelong de Valera and Fianna Fail supporter, Sean served as County Councillor and Town Councillor for many years. He was born at Evergreen Lodge, ( now demolished ) Cox's Lane. His family operated the firm "Carlow Woodworkers". His brother Pearse Prendergast of Rathnapish, died a few weeks ago ( 7th July 2012 ) at the age of 95. Pearse was the last survivor of the famed Carlow Septet founded by Aidan Murray to raise funds for the building / re-erection of St Clare's Church in Graiguecullen.

>> continued from post dated 15th July. [ Note added by Michael Purcell, 2012 - I have posted some of the letters / enquiries, dating from 1920s to 1980s that were sent to Pat Purcell during his lifetime. Among the 100s of letters in the PPP this letter of 52, double sided hand-written pages, is one of the most interesting. The following Steuart "extending" family history was compiled by Henrietta Maria Hickey in 1862,..... if only we all had an obliging ancestor to leave us with such a gossipy family genealogy !....due to the time consuming task of transcribing the complete letters ( and yes, there are another two letters in the same racy style and possibly a book therein, think of Elizabeth Burke-Plunkett, Countess of Fingall with her book - "Seventy Years Young" ! ) the content of the present letter has been edited and abbreviated by me, now on page 24 of 52 pages. Henrietta Maria Steuart Hickey died in February 1876. Her husband was the highly regarded Rev. William Hickey of whom Pat Purcell, in a 3 page reply to the 1931 letters, recorded the following details, some of which is from Hart's "Irish Pedigrees" . ---" Rev. William Hickey was well known for his efforts to elevate the condition of the peasantry of Ireland, he was the eldest son of Rev. Ambrose Hickey, rector of Murragh, County Cork, his mother was Jane Herrick, niece of Captain William Herrick, R.N of Ship Pool, Poulnalonge Castle in Cork. William Hickey was born in 1788, he graduated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and subsequently took the degree of M.A. in Trinity Dublin. He was ordained a clergyman of the Church of Ireland in 1811, and appointed to the curacy of Dunleckney, County Carlow. In 1813 he married Henrietta Maria Steuart of Steuart's Lodge, Leighlinbridge, County Carlow. The only daughter of John Steuart, grandson of the Earl of Galloway and of the Royal House of Stuarts, whose family motto was "NOT WE FROM KINGS, BUT KINGS FROM US". In 1820 William Hickey was inducted into the rectory of Bannow, County Wexford, whilst there he founded the Wexford Agricultural Society to try improve the lot of farmers in the Wexford area. In 1826 was transferred to Kilcormick, near Rosslare. In 1831 he was posted to Wexford town, and in 1834 to the rectory in Mulrankin, where he ministered for the remainder of his life. As a parochial clergyman he was esteemed alike by Catholics and Protestants. He commenced his career as a writer in 1817, his first work being a pamphlet, of which I enclose a copy for you, titled "The State of the Poor in Ireland". In the following years he published a series of letters under the nom de plume of Martin Doyle, and under which he continued to write. His last work, published a few years before his death, was Notes and Gleanings of the County Wexford. In all his writings he took the broadest philanthropic views. All his life he studiously avoided religious and political controversy. He was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Dublin Society. In recognition of his services to Ireland, and enjoyed a pension from the Literary Fund. He died comparatively poor on the 24th October, 1875, aged 87. His wife, Henrietta, the writer of your family chronicle, is buried alongside him in Mulrankin, Ferns, County Wexford. She died aged 85 at her daughter's residence "The Rectory" in Camolin, County Wexford. I enclose copies of Deeds to Steuart's Lodge and details of the present owners etc etc etc." (signed) Pat Purcell, November 1931."---- ( for present day readers of this post I attached a Google extract on Rev.

To: Pat Purcell, Town Hall, Carlow, Ireland. Part three of a FAMILY CHRONICLE compiled by Henrietta Maria Hickey in 1862. [ Henrietta died in February 1876 ]. (Continued extracts edited by Michael Purcell from 52 page letter ( now on page 24 of 52 pages !). My fourth great aunt (# 5) Lydia married John Nunn, Esquire, of the County of Wexford. Her family consisted of four sons, John, Abraham, Lorenzo and Joshua, and two daughters , Mary married to the Rev. George Walters, and Susanna who married the Rev. Henry St. Eloy. One of the sons, Abraham, commanded the 3rd West India Regiment at the siege of Domenica, and was killed at the taking of it. Each of his brothers and sisters was presented by the Government with a silver cup on which is an inscription laudatory of his valour, and a representation of the siege. A handsome gilt sword was also given to his eldest brother, John. This John married his cousin Helena Nunn, daughter of Joshua Nunn, Esquire, of Hill Castle. The next Nickson sister, my great aunt Hester (#6), married Captain Stewart, one of the Castlereagh family. They had one daughter, Rachel, who died unmarried, and three sons, Annesley, Abraham, and James. Annesley was the first British officer who leaped on shore at the disembarkation of the troops in Egypt, and his head was taken off by a cannon ball. He was unmarried. James also died unmarried. Their brother Abraham Stewart was a clergyman, and had a large family ; one of his daughters is married to Judge Perrin. My next great aunt, Mary Nickson, (#7) married the Rev. B. Mosse. She had three sons, Andrew, Thomas, and Peter, and three daughters, Mary, ( Mrs McDonald), Frances, (Mrs Spriggs), and Eliza. My eighth great aunt, (#8) Letitia Nickson, married a Mr Waller, of Dublin. She had two sons, Richard and Edward. Richard married a great beauty, Miss Harsfall, Edward married Miss Codrington. Letitia also had three daughters, Mary Waller, (unmarried), Jane married her cousin Josuha Nunn (already named) ; the third also married a cousin, Lorenzo Nunn (already named). My ninth great aunt, Harriet (#9) also known as Henrietta Nickson, married her cousin William Butler, of Broomville, Carlow, the third son of Sir Richard Butler, of Ballintemple. They had two sons and one daughter, Richard and James and Mary Butler (married Colonel Johnstone). Richard Butler was a Colonel in the army, and died at Java, unmarried. James Butler succeeded to the Broomville estate in Carlow and married a singularly amiable and pleasing English lady, Miss Charlton, by whom he had a large family. Their eldest son married Miss Grey of Upton, Carlow. Their second son, Charles Butler, was Lieut-Colonel of the 20th Regiment, and died in Carlow, unmarried at the early age of 34 . He was one of the heroic defenders of the Sand-bag Battery on the memorable 5th November, when the Russians appeared in such overwhelming force at the battle of Inkerman, and the Guards and the 20th Regiment so greatly distinguished themselves. He fought in India following the mutiny there and suffered severe hardships in the Crimean War. (of Charles Butler more anon). Their third son, James Butler, became a resident magistrate, and married Miss Adelaide Keogh, of Kilbride, Carlow. One of the Harriet's daughters married her cousin, William Gore Johnstone, whose father, Colonel Johnstone, had married Mary Butler, of Broomville (the only daughter of Mary and William Butler) Mary Butler was one of the dearest companions of my girlhood. She left but one son, the above named William Gore Johnstone, and one daughter (Mrs Echlin of Carlow) My tenth great aunt, (#10) Frances Nickson ..........[ to be continued ] [ Google extract on Rev. William Hickey, husband of Henrietta Maria Steuart. Reverend William Hickey aka Martin Doyle (1787-24th October 1875), Irish writer and philanthropist.

He graduated from St. John's College, Cambridge, and received his M.A. from the University fo Dublin. He was ordained in 1811 and appoined curate of Dunleckney, County Carlow. Between then and 1834 he served at Bannow, Kilcormick, Wexford and Mulrankin, remaining at the latter till his death. A Compendium of Irish Biography says of him: "When at Bannow he started the South Wexford Agricultural Society and the Bannow Agricultural School, both of which flourished while under his superintendence. As a parochial clergyman he was esteemed alike by Catholics and Protestants. He commenced his career as a writer in 1817, his first work being a pamphlet on the State of the Poor in Ireland.

In all his writings he took the broadest philanthropic views, studiously avoiding religious and political controversy. He was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Dublin Society, in recognition of his services to Ireland, and enjoyed a pension from the Literary Fund. He was a man of an eminently charitable and feeling nature, and died comparatively poor, 24th October 1875, aged 87. These particulars of his life have been furnished by George Griffiths, author of Chronicles of the County of Wexford, one of the best authorities upon biographical and archaeological lore of that part of Ireland." ]

Having consulted with Peter Bunbury, I'd advise that Harry Bunbury, the "agreeable oddity", was almost certainly the only surviving son of Elizabeth Nixon (Nickson) by hear marriage to the Rev. Joseph Bunbury, Rector of Urglin (a member of the Bunburys of Johnstown) circa 1750. They had two sons Henry (1753-1819), and Benjamin who died young. Henry (Harry) did not marry and lived in Bunbury Lodge, Russeltown, Co. Carlow. However, he had five sons by his lover, Margery Walsh. There are several Dublin Deeds relating to this de facto arrangement which name three of the sons as George, William Henry and Abraham. Elsewhere Thomas Bunbury of Russellstown was named as another son. It is also plausible that Robert Bunbury of Ardenhue (whose name has featured on this list) was another of his sons. The Catholic branch of the Bunbury family in Carlow are this believed to descend from Harry.

Many thanks for all this Michael, excellent information as ever which I have shared with the wider Butler and Bunbury families. I'm inclined to agree re: Harry Bunbury but have also passed this onto Peter Bunbury in Australia who may have further insight on this one.

The Harry Bunbury mentioned in part two is I believe Henry Bunbury of PPP fame, he signed himself "Hen Bunbury" on about 200 documents. His address ( 1780 - 1830s ) was noted as Bunbury Lodge and Johnstown and Athy Street, he was a Magistrate, Justice of the Peace and general busybody and was himself often involved in bother with the Byrnes, he constantly proffered Informations / Examinations before his fellow Magistrates.

To: Pat Purcell, Town Hall, Carlow, Ireland. Part two of a FAMILY CHRONICLE. (Continued, abbreviated extracts edited by Michael Purcell. Further information on the Hely-Hutchinsons mentioned herein and the famous, busybody, philanthropist, playwright, and religious writer, Hannah More may be sourced via Google. ). Having given the foregoing account of my paternal relatives, I must proceed to that of my maternal ones. My mother was the only daughter of a Carlow gentleman of the name of Whelan, who by his first marriage had a son who married my father's sister Ann Steuart, whose children, of whom, I shall speak presently, were thus doubly connected with myself, as in the case of the Butlers of Broonville. My grandfather Whelan must I think have been dead at the time of my birth in 1792 or soon after, as I have no remembrance of him, but my earliest childish reminiscences are connected with my venerable grandmother, Anna Maria Whelan, formerly Nickson, who always lived with us till her death, which took place at the advanced age of eighty-five. She was one of a very large family, her sisters being of the classic number of the muses, and as they all but one married and had families, my connection is necessarily a very large one ; indeed my daughters sometimes jokingly say it must extend over half Ireland. I have said that this is to be the family chronicle, so I am bound to give the names of my great aunts, and of some of their descendants. Their name was Nickson, (1) Elizabeth, (2) Rachel, (3) Christiana, (4) Anna Maria, ( my grandmother, Mrs Whelan ), (5) Lydia, (6) Hester, (7) Mary, (8) Letitia, (9) Harriet, (10) Francis. My eldest great aunt, Elizabeth, married Mr. Bunbury, a gentleman of landed property in the County of Carlow. ( of whom more anon ). She had but one child, a son, Harry Bunbury, whom I remember as an agreeable oddity ; he died unmarried (2) Rachel married the Reverend Christopher Harvey, D.D., of Kyle, in the County Wexford. She had one son, the late William Harvey, and two daughters, Mrs Freke ( mother of the present Lord Carberry, and of the Honourable Mrs Charles Bernard ), and Mrs Randall, whose only child is now Mrs Hastings Parker. My great aunt Rachel Harvey lived to the age of ninety-one. She used to pay an annual visit to Steuart's Lodge, where her coming was always a matter of rejoicing, and her daughters were two of the most fascinating creatures I ever knew. (3) My great aunt Christina was named after her great aunt and godmother, Mrs Hutchinson, the wife of her great uncle, Richard Hutchinson, a gentleman of large property, and the possessor of Knocklofty, near Clonmell, County Tipperary. She, Christina, was adopted by the Hutchinsons, as they had no children, and became their heiress. She married a barrister of the name of Hely, who added the name of Hutchinson to his own name when he succeeded to the estates. He was afterwards Provost of Trinity College, and Secretary of State. He was offered a peerage, which he declined for himself but accepted for his wife, who thus became Baroness of Donoughmore. The title was raised to that of Earl, in the person of her eldest son, Richard, and he dying unmarried, her second son, John Hely-Hutchinson, became Earl of Donoughmore. Previous to his accession to his brother's earldom he had received the title of Lord Hutchinson for his services in Egypt, where he commanded the army after the death of Sir Ralph Abercrombie, and achieved those brilliant victories which wrested Egypt from the French. I have seen two beautiful boxes given by the Sultan to two brothers of Lord Hutchinson, who had been sent to an Embassy to Constantinople ; one was a blood stone with a crescent of diamonds on the lid, the other of purple enamel with a star of diamonds ; they were lined with gold. This second Earl of Donoughmore was succeeded by his nephew, also named John, who had first distinguished himself in the retreat of Corunna, and afterwards acted a conspicuous part in aiding the escape of General Lavalette. John was a personal acquaintance of mine, as after his return from Spain he came to visit my mother, who was a favourite cousin of the Hutchinsons. This John was father of the present Earl ( 1862 ). My great aunt, Christina, the first Lady Donoughmore, besides the two earls I have mentioned here, had three sons, viz., Abraham, Christopher and Lorenzo. And also three daughters, Honourable Mary, married to a Mr. Smith, Honourable Margaret, and Prudence. The two latter died unmarried.

Thank you for your comments but the fact is that the eulogy was posted to CarlowIGP in error. The Obituary was submitted by Patricia's family and I intended to convert my eulogy to an "Appreciation" of Patricia's life with some editing for publication. For those who may not know, the Holy Angels is a centre for children with special needs. Yes Noel it was nice to see the medics and carers formed for the Guard of Honour, they were all genuinely brokenhearted and former staff from years past, some of whom travelled long distances, came to pay their respects to Patricia.

I came across that lady's funeral on Monday. It was a lovely tribute to see all the medical staff and carers from the Holy Angels forming up to give her a guard of honour. Can't say I knew her but that's my loss.

There was widespread sadness at the sudden death on Friday 6th July, following a tragic accident at her place of residence in Granby Row, of Patricia Murphy. Formerly Patricia Marnell and a native of Ballintaggort, Callan, Co. Kilkenny. In 1980 she married John,Murphy of Thomastown and lived in the Royal Oak area for the next 32 years. Following her appointment to the staff of the Holy Angels Day Care Centre, where she became a indispensable and highly valued member of staff, Patricia moved into an apartment in Carlow town in order to be near her place of work. Patricia attended Mohober National School, Co. Tipperary, before attending St. Michael's Boarding School in Clonmel. Upon leaving school she trained as a chef in one of Ireland's premier hotels, The Dunraven Arms, Adare, Co. Limerick, and worked at catering for a number of years before being appointed as manager of the Carmel Hotel in Kilkenny, she resigned as manager in order to get married. She later took up a position in St. Joseph's Orphanage in Kilkenny before her career took on a totally different direction when she managed a Turf Accountant's office for Malcolm Skelly in John Street, Kilkenny. Malcolm thought highly of her work and upon her leaving he closed the John Street office. Patricia then worked in St. Lazerians Nursing Home in Bagnelstown for a number of years. Her final place of work and where she was very happy and appreciated was at the Holy Angels and where she attended work up to the day of her death. In all the positions Patricia held she was highly appreciated by all her employers and proved herself to be caring, trustworthy and hard-working. A avid reader, Patricia loved to travel and along with her husband, John and family, among the countries she visited were, Australia, Thailand, Turkey and Spain, where she absorbed the culture and loved to mingle with the people and roam through the marketplaces. Patricia is mourned by her husband, John, her daughters, Lorraine and Grace, her sisters, Mary, Margaret and Rose, her brothers, Henry and Martin , her uncle Paddy, nephews and nieces and a large circle of friends. Burial took place in Wells Cemetery following Requiem Mass in Leighlinbridge, celebrated by Father Tom Lawlor. In a moving ceremony hymns were sung by Clare Cully and Helen Mooney. The following eulogy was delivered by Michael Purcell during her funeral Mass :- Thanks to Patricia's family for asking me to say a few words today in memory of Trish.. First of all I need to say that there are some people. whom Trish meant a lot to, they are unable to be with us today. Nurse Geraldine Connell , the Manager of the Holy Angels Day Care Centre along with four other members of staff are out of the country. They left before we received the news that Trish had died. They were stunned and greatly saddened by the news and have asked me to pass on their sincere heartfelt sympathy to her husband, John, and her daughters , Lorraine and Grace and all of Trish's family and friends. I am sure that If Trish could speak right now, she would tell me to " get down outa that and don't be making a right Ejit of yourself" Well, Ejit or not , I will try summarise what Trish meant to us at Holy Angels and the immense loss she will be to us all. Words are inadequate to capture the essence of Trish's personalty. the basic goodness of her life or to express all that Trish was to us, and the sense of loss and sadness we now feel. Trish came to us at Holy Angels some years ago, and she immediately fell in love with the place and its mission in our society. In a short time she proved herself to be indispensable and had us wondering how did we ever manage without her. >From then on she took care of all the staff, and she always enjoyed interacting with the children and the parents and kept the place in tip-top shape. Her role in making sure everything ran smoothly will long be cherished by all who were the recipients of her kindness and professionalism. - I know she would not like me using the term " professionalism" . But that's what she was, a professional carer of people and a professional at her job.. Every thing in its place and every person cared for. She acted like a mother to all. Both Trish and us - we were lucky - because we very often expressed direct to her how much we appreciated all she done for us. In that regard we have no regrets, for she knew how much we valued and loved her, despite the fact that she disliked praise or recognition or never liked to be the centre of attention, we told her, time and time again, how much we treasured her. Loads of Cliches come to mind to describe Trish, such as ; "A Trojan Worker" , ( in fact we wondered in amazement from where she sourced her energy ! ) "A Heart of Gold" ( and there the wonder grew as to how such a fragile frame could hold such a big heart. ) Other Cliches come to mind such as ; "Good Natured", "One in a Million", "Irreplacable" . But Trish was all those cliches combined. Yes, that and more. Yesterday I heard one of the girls remark how Trish could make something out of very little. She was talking not about issues but about provisions, for Trish could produce a fine meal at short notice for unexpected visitors, a visiting doctor and a team of clinics or a parents morning, as well as constantly producing special treats for the children at Holy Angels. But with issues too, she could make something out of very little, as I often found out to my cost, when in a forceful manner she could put forward a challenge and I have to say more often than not, she was usually proved right in the end. Among her first words nearly every morning to myself, Phil and Michael were, "what's that doing there" ?, "who moved this" ?, "why isn't that done" ?, as she proceeded to put everything in order for the day ahead. The Centre did not come to life until Trish was there at the heart of it and every morning we listened for her welcome step in the hall. Trish had her favourites but if I was to mention who her favourites were, we would be here all day. In fact all of us were her favourites. She possessed a twinkling sense of fun and a mischievous wit, the stories are numerous and all who knew her will have their own recollections of the antics she got up to. tinged with the sadness of her sudden and tragic passing, A reminder that we are so lightly here, but enhanced by the very many fond memories that remain with us. Memories of Trish that will in the days ahead help us cope with the loss of a very special friend and a very much esteemed colleague. The past week was one of her happiest at Holy Angels as she took part in all the Summer Camp activities. She rarely missed a day at work, so on Friday last when she failed to turn up to bid goodbye to the children and staff before the summer holidays, we guessed there was something wrong. Because of the circumstances of Trish's death I thought in the past few days of the words from Aeschylus :- " Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God". and so it comes to pass. Your works' all done now Trish, you're leaving early, and this time I'm not looking at my watch. It's time to go home. M.P.

Mick, What a wonderful, moving tribute to your friend Patricia. I'm very sorry for your loss, and I wish you and all those who knew Patricia peace and comfort.
