Nationalist December 1955. A brave Carlow man. Let us salute the memory of a very brave man. He was a County Carlow man , a native of Pollerton, Carlow. Now as a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, you may not approve of the fact that he was a sergeant in the British Army-- the Royal Ulster Rifles to be exact. Be it so ; but that does not detract from his bravery. Laurence Kavanagh was his name. He died in a Korean prison camp in 1951, and hid untimely death was due to the fact that he refused to accept Communist doctrine, despite the fact that some of his fellow-prisoners did. As punishment and although he was suffering from malnutrition, dysentery and threatened beri-beri, his Red gaolers denied him medical aid. Readers will echo the words of his brave mother ; "It was just what I would have expected of him . He stuck to the Faith. I would not have had him do otherwise. Incidentally , although he died four years ago, information concerning the way and the reason why he died was only revealed to the world at large comparatively recently.

This might have been the time my father was walking along a Belfast street after leaving work. He was whistling an Irish tune. Black and Tans jumped him and beat him, knocking his teeth out.

Butler's Public House present-day Bradleys in Graiguecullen. Nationalist, August 1956. The death of Mr John Butler, Maryboro Street, Graiguecullen which occurred on Sunday at his residence evoked feelings of deep regret in Carlow. The late Mr Butler was attached to "A" Company 1st Batt. Carlow Brigade, Irish Republican Army, and after the truce he joined the National Army with the rank of Captain. He retired in 1929 being retained on the reserve. He rejoined during the Emergency and at the end of the World War he returned to manage his licensed premises in 1945. Of a quite disposition , he was very popular with all classes. The funeral to St. Mary's Cemetery on Tuesday , where a party of old comrades fired three volleys over the grave and the last post was sounded, was large and representative.

Looking for info re John O'Reilly married to Elizabeth Moore. Both were born around 1810.

Carlow Sentinel 1892. Mrs Julia Doyle, whose death occurred in Utica, U.S.A. was one of the oldest persons in the State. She would have been 104 years old had she lived until New Years Day. Mrs Doyle was born in the town of Carlow on the 1st day of January 1789. Her father's name was William Whelan. She was one of eight children. She well remembered the rebellion of 1798. One night her mother roused her out of bed and from the window she could see the whole town in flames. When she was 19 she married John Doyle and had 13 children, some of whom came to America. Well the years rolled on , her husband died, and when she was 59 years old she went to her daughter in America. She had three grand daughters and about twenty great-grandchildren in America. Her death was due entirely to old age and had not disease.

The Carlow Post 17th Dec, 1853 Sudden Death.--- A man named Edward Brennan, nicknamed the "Sticks" whose occupation was that of a cattle-dealer -- who had the character of being exceedingly penurious --- was found dead in his bed in his lodgings in Tullow Street, on Wednesday morning. Deceased had partaken the night previously of a small allowance of buttermilk and potatoes for his supper. Five ten-pound notes were found stitched in his trowsers, and he had £150 exclusive of this sum. He was in the habit of attending fairs in this and the adjoining counties, to which he almost invariably walk, notwithstanding lameness under which he suffered. We have heard that he possessed a considerable number of cattle.

Many thanks Michaels, Bobs, Sue and all ... I will attend to this one in due course. Am not a member of JSTOR but would love to be as they seem to have lots of fine articles in their possession.

Hi list, I purchased a M/C entry from the IFHF site of a Stephen SMYTH to Teresa McGRATH dated 11 Feb 1887 in Mullingar Co. Westmeath. A search of the LDS Marriage index film today I found Teresa Dungannon 7/669 BUT not Stephen. I know both people's numbers must agree for a match. LDS films catalogue for the Roman Catholic stops in 1880 so I can't order a film to cover the time period. Bascially I wish to know if a M/C via the GRO site will it have more information than the IFHF one as many details were omitted. Many thanks for any assitance with my query. Michele in Sydney OZ
