Hi Mick, As (I think) the Australian colonies were no longer really accepting convicts by 1849, do you know where Messrs. Nolan, Lucas and Kehoe would most likely have been despatched for their seven years of servitude? TB Turtle Bunbury www.turtlebunbury.com Old Fort, Tobinstown, Tullow, Co.

Excellent, many thanks Mick & co. Constable Cox was clearly not to be trifled with if he'd follow you all the way to England. Thank you for this.

[ Note added 2012. checked the 1849 editions of the Carlow Sentinel ( Jan. - June ) for the article on Lisnevagh building report, I was unable to locate it but did find a few items referring to Colonel Bunbury and Captain B. McClintock Bunbury. ] THE CARLOW SENTINEL.. February 1849. MUNIFICENT DONATION. Colonel Bunbury, of Moyle, has presented the Rev. J.B. Magennis, the Rector of Rathvilly, with the sum of £500, as his subscription towards the repairs and improvement of the Parochial Church of Rathvilly. This munificent donation reflects credit on the kind and generous donor, who thus secures encreased accommodation in the Parochial Church of his ancestors. [ article underneath ] CAPTAIN M'CLINTOCK BUNBURY, M.P. -- We are gratified to learn that Captain Bunbury, who was ill from influenza in London, is in a state of convalescence, and will in a few days be able to attend his parliamentary duties. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE CARLOW SENTINEL. April 22, 1849. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CAPTURE OF TWO SHEEP-STEALERS. About four o'clock on the morning of the 19th April 1849, two notorious characters, named James Kehoe and James Nolan, were arrested by Constable Cox and a party of Constabulary, while on patrol in the vicinity of the town. They were concealed on the Railway, having in their possession the carcases of three sheep, which were subsequently identified as the property of Captain B. McClintock Bunbury, M.P., and had been killed on the lands of Moyle. The prisoners, who are professional sheep-stealers, were fully committed by C.H.Tuckey, Esquire, Resident Magistrate, to abide their trial at the ensuing Quarter Sessions. Much credit is due to Constable Cox and his party for the capture of two of a gang who live by the plunder of the gentry and farmers of the neighbourhood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE CARLOW SENTINEL. May 5th 1849. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. CAPTURE OF A SHEEP-STEALER. On Thursday, Patrick Lucas, a notorious sheep-stealer who absconded some weeks since, was committed to the county gaol by Charles H. Tuckey, Esquire, Resident Magistrate. Lucas was one of the gang concerned in killing two sheep, the property of Captain B. McClintock Bunbury, M.P., and escaped the morning of the capture of his companions ; he was pursued to England by Constable Cox, who, following closely in his track, arrested Lucas near Grantham. Much credit is due to this active constable for his zeal and activity in effecting the capture of the last of this gang of marauders.
Well done Turtle ! - May I add my appreciation to Mick and his team for all the useful bits that I have discovered since I joined the Carlow site. And may I also say that the week-end treat of History was wonderful at Lisnavagh ! It was well organized; the weather was very pleasant and what an interesting gathering of people both giving and receiving !! It was great ! I hope it will happen again next year. What a lovely venue for some of the "Gatherings" in 2013 ! It may be an exciting year for all genealogists !

The Information of William Shepard now of Copnagh, County Carlow, Gentleman, taken before me William Carter, Esquire, one of his Majestys Justices of the Peace for Carlow, who being duly sworn and examined saith that on the 21st day of April last he received information that Robert Shepard late of Tobinstown, County Carlow, Gentleman, with whom the aforesiad William Shepard was joint Lessee in different Leases, had gone away from his place of residence in order to go to America, William went to the Land and Dwelling House of Robert Shepard and then and there seized and distrained the whole of the movable property found on the Lands of Tobinstown and Knocknegan consisting of a quantity of Potatoes, Pigs, Timber and other articles and immediately placed a Keeper to protect the property. But later that day William Shepard received information that the property would be taken from him and that his life was in danger. he went to the Barony Constables to assist him and while he was away upwards of 20 barrels of Potatoes was conveyed away from Tobinstown land by John Moore of Paulville, Carlow, Gentleman, William Shepard received further information that John Moore would remove the remainder of the Potatoes that same night, he went to Tullow and returned to Tobinstown and Knocknegan accompanied by two Bailiffs and then and there about 12 oc at night the said John Moore , well armed in a most menacing and threatening manner declared he would take the remainder of the Potatoes and that he would run William Shepard and his Bailiffs off the Premises in ten minutes, but having met with more determined resistance than he expected he went off. The following day a Ladder pole and a door and a door case which had been torn out of the Dwelling House of Robert Shepard and a Gate taken off the Hinges all the property of Robert Shepard were found in the possession of the said John Moore. (signed) William Shepard. Sworn before me this 8th day of May 1818. (signed) William Carter.

Pat Purcell Papers. undated newspaper cutting. Lisnevagh 1847 - 1849 ( continued ) The south side, comprising a magnificent suite of apartments, viz. - the drawing-room, library, dining-room, ante-chambers, etc., commands a splendid view of the surrounding country, with Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs in the foreground of the picture - while from the same wing on the east the beautiful scenery of the Wicklow Mountains attracts attention. >From the upper rooms a vast and beautifully cultivated tract of the county Carlow is visible, presenting every variety of scenery, enhancing in the eye of even the artist the value and beauty of the site chosen for the erection of a family mansion of such extent. In a future publication we shall enter more into details, but for the present we shall content ourselves with a brief description of some of the adjuncts to the mansion of Captain Bunbury. THE FARM YARD AND MACHINERY. The farm yard is situate about a quarter of a mile from the mansion, in a valley, and on what, on the fourth of May last, was apparently an irreclaimable bog. This mass of buildings all enclosed, but covering an immense space of ground, presents the appearance of a large manufacturing village, with its chimney shaft 60 feet high. The farm-yard comprises buildings of every description for agricultural purposes, under the superintendence of a very intelligent and scientific steward, Mr Malone, a native of the county Louth, for whom a handsome residence is built on the spot. Attached to the building is a steam engine of great power, by which flour and oatmeal are manufactured for the use of the mansion, and by which steaming, winnowing, threshing, etc. are performed Independently of the several purposes to which the steam mill is applied, it is used for forcing water from this point through an elevated plane, to a tank on a rising ground above the mansion, which contains 700,000 gallons of water. >From this point, invisible from the house, the water is supplied to every apartment, and if required, there are FOUR escapes, or cocks in the event of accidents by fire, by which the water may be raised 20 feet above the roof of the mansion. We are thus circumstantial in details, with the view of showing what capital can effect since the 31st of January, 1847 ; but we may here go further by stating that the steam mill, its towering shaft and the immense mass of buildings surrounding them, all erected on what was a bog on the 4th of May, in the present year ; and the GRANITE with which the buildings were erected were taken from the fields now covered with a rich and luxuriant crops of Swedish turnips for stall feeding in the buildings erected on the "bog" which "bog" we might however add, is now thorough drained, and reduced to its present state by the powerful agency of capital, and skill in its application. We cannot now enter into further details, but in a future number we hope to enter more fully into the subject, with a view of exhibiting substantial proofs that by the combined agency of A RESIDENT GENTRY, and the industry of the people, the county of Carlow may fairly look forward to future progress and prosperity.

To Lisnevagh we next direct the attention of the reader ; and here CAPITAL, which in every civilised country is understood as "money" has worked miracles within two years. Bog land has being reclaimed, rocky ground has been converted into pasture, and a wide-spread field of 700 acres, ( the property of one of our COUNTY MEMBERS ), a portion which for years has been almost unprofitable, presents, under his superintendence, ( and a judicious outlay of capital ), the appearance of a well-cultivated district, and in a short time will not only repay the PROPRIETOR, but exhibit practically what can be done by capital, labour, and industry, on the part of a landed proprietor. We have heard a great deal of what English factory capitalists can do in England; we are, therefore, inclined to be minute in details, when we find a landed proprietor prove what capital well applied can effect in Ireland. The future magnificent residence of Captain McClintock Bunbury, M.P., situate at Lisenvagh, is one creditable not only to the county, but to the country. In magnitude and extent it is not surpassed in the kingdom, and of the pure ELIZABETHAN style of architecture, erected from the plans and under the personal superintendence of D.Robinson, Esquire, upon elevated ground ; there are few edifices present so noble an appearance. The first stone of this extensive mansion was laid on the 23rd of January, 1847, nearly on the site of the ancient residence of the BUNBURY family, erected in 1686, which was dismantled during the progress of the present structure. The present residence is complete in every part, as far as the exterior is concerned ; and in a few months - such is the exertions that are being made, and the liberal outlay of capital - it will be ready for the reception of the family in every department before the ensuing summer - a circumstance in building seldom or never surpassed, and could not be accomplished but for the building materials being on the spot, such as granite, brick,lime, etc. and the vast number of workmen employed to carry out the design. The elegant mansion on the north side presents the appearance of an extensive quadrangle, every view that presents itself on the approach from that side being chaste and classical, combined with elaborate taste and skill - harmony and proportion ( combined with comfort and convenience ) being evidently the object of the architect.

I'm hoping to obtain more information on a new family tree I've found on Ancestry. The owner of the tree is Nachman13 and has blocked any contact so I cannot contact him with my questions. I brought his lines that start in the late 1600's forward to my family in Leighlinbridge. Hope this doesn't get too long... My ggg-grandfather is Paul Brennan, born Leighlinbridge about 1801. His wife was Mary Walsh, born about the same time and died around 1857. Paul remarried to a Catherine shortly after that. The following information is from Nachman13's tree: Paul Brennan- Leighlinbridge 1801 is the son of James Brennan abt 1785 and Bridget Mayer abt ? | James son of James Brennan 1766 Carlow and Elizabeth Mayer 1770 (there is a Leighlinbridge marriage record for this couple) | James son of William Terrance Brennan, Carlow (1722-Apr 18, 1785) married to Bridget Lawler (1726- May 20, 1800) Carlow Mary Walsh - Paternal line: Parents: Michael Walsh & Catherine Maher | Michael is son of John Frederick Walsh abt 1740 Barbados, Carribean and Mary Conner abt 1745 Kerry | John Frederick is son of John Walsh abt 1713, Jamaica and Elizabeth Mary's Maternal line: Catherine Maher is daughter of Michael Maher and Caroline Bryna Monefiore Catherine's line continues with Massahod Prosepero J Montefiore and Jael (Julia) Montefiore | Eliezer Montefiore Michael's line continues with Nathan Mayer and Annie (Esther) Jacobs | | Joseph Herz Schiff Mayer Jacob Liebowitz Frank Also, in his tree I believe I found Paul's (1801) sister, born Leighlinbridge 1842 married to Edward Kellington in Dublin 1861 and relocating to Australia. She was reported as a death in 1881. If anyone can shed some light on this line I would really appreciate some insight. I have access to Ancestry and FHL. Mahalo!
