[ noted added 2013, recently met some people in Carlow Library researching Constable George Crawford, I hope they spot this ]. Carlow Sentinel . Feb 1854. Sub-Constable George Crawford arrested John Clowry on suspicion of robbery of a gun, a powder horn and shot pouch, together with several articles of wearing apparel from a farmer named Nicholas Blanchfield who resides at Coonogue, in the Barony of Lower St Mullins, Carlow. Clowry was brought to a farmer named Smith at Grangeford where a portion of the clothes were recovered, on the following day at a place called Crush, in the Parish of Myshall the gun was recovered at the house of a man named Maher and since then the horn and pouch was recovered. Much credit is due to Sub-Constable George Crawford for the zeal and activity displayed not only on this, but several other occasions. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-CARLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

thanks Selina, it should be noted that your account is an abbreviated version of a 6 page statement signed by Elizabeth Pack-Beresford in April 1923 in which she gave a detailed account of the items lost in the fire and declares her loss at approximately £5,000 sterling. The odd thing is that the statement was made for presentation to the Irish Republican Army and is witnessed by Fielding Lecky Watson of Lumclone House, Carlow. At the end of the statement it is noted in pencil "Martin Neill & co was involved, house insured with English company payout will leave them better off than before" ( initialled ) J.R.

Turtle, we have a statement in the PPP signed by Elizabeth Pack-Beresford in which she states that at least a dozen men burst in the door of Kellistown House in the early hours of March 23rd 1923, they demanded food , at first she refused to speak to them but on threatening to burn down the house her and her sister prepared a meal for them, some of the men lay down on the beds a fell asleep, they stayed in the house most of the day, some of them played cards, there was a few bottles of wine in a press and they drank the wine, as darkness fell Elizabeth asked them to leave as her and her sister had had no rest for 24 hours, one of the men said "you know why we are here, you informed on us and we intend to burn you out" Elizabeth replied "what brave men you are, Ireland is well served by such bravery and courage, it takes courage to threaten two ladies and then to burn the roof from over their heads" her sister told her not to engage the men in conversation. The men gave the sisters one hour to save whatever they wanted to save from the house and some of the men helped them to lift some furniture. The men then set the house ablaze. Before so doing one of the men told Elizabeth that if he ever saw her again he would put a bullet through her.

Post from Ireland-Gen-Newbies Website. 8 Session Online Irish Culture Course - Starting Soon. Hi All, Sorry for the wide distribution and cross posts, but I think that this will have wide appeal. An 8 session online Irish culture course is starting soon on June 3. It is hosted by Hibernia College in Dublin and called Exploring Irish Identity. There will be 8 themes with materials posted each week and they will stay online for a number of weeks, starting with history, literature and film and going on through art, language, music and dance, landscape and the GAA )Gaelic Athletics Association’. It is timed in 2013 to coincide with The Gathering, a year/long homecoming of events organized for the worldwide Irish diaspora, especially those returning to their roots this year. Of course, not everyone can travel to Ireland, but this online course is for anyone anywhere and sounds like it is getting off to a good start. The website is up now and people are introducing themselves and signing up for special interest groups, about the themes but also on topics like family history. Like many of the Gathering initiatives, it offers the diaspora a chance to come in contact with interested people "on the ground" in parts of Ireland in which you are interested or from where your ancestors migrated across whichever pond.

[ note added 2013 - Michael Hanrahan ( executed by the British in 1916 ) organised some of the "boys" throughout Carlow to break up fundraisers being held for the relief of distress during the Boer War, the incident described below was also described in attachment to the minutes of the Workman's Club, where it was recorded that Michael and his brother were the chief hecklers at the meetings referred to. ]. ) Nationalist and Leinster Times. January 1900. War Concert in Carlow. Head Constable McCoy, whose talent for organising public entertainment has long being recognised, has been devoting his efforts to the aid of the various funds for the relief of the sufferers by the war. He has got up three grand concerts, varied by limelight views of the scenes from South Africa. The first concerts were on Monday (mid-day ) and night, they were well attended. The seeds of future disorder were sown when some ultra Britishers hissed President Kruger's effigy as shown on the screen. Later further irritation was caused by the singing of "God Save The Queen" a tune which has unfortunately has been made a party one in Ireland. On Tuesday night every picture of the Boers was cheered whilst the British generals and in fact every scene favourable to the British was hissed vigorously. The picture of the disaster to a British armoured train was loudly cheered At the end the "Boys of Wexford" was sung by the vast majority of the audience, the strains of the Royal anthem being completely drowned. Any reference of a pro-British tendency called for marked disapproval. A voice from the back was heard " Well done, young blood of Carlow".....the Head Constable engaged in a wordy contest with the "voice" at the back and offered to bet £10 that the "voice" would not name a freer country than Ireland. On Thursday night suspected Boer sympathisers were excluded, but the "Boers" invaded and turned out the gas and left the whole place in darkness. The entertainments raised over £40. The Hall was decorated by Misses Duggan, Burke, Langran, Hearns. The Union Jack we may say was the prevailing ornament. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nationalist and Leinster Times. February 1900. CAUSALITIES IN THE WAR. Much regret has been caused in Carlow by the news that the Hon. W. M'Clintock-Bunbury, eldest son of Lord Rathdonnell and grandson of the Right Hon. Henry Bruen, P.C., Oak Park, Carlow, has been killed in South Africa. The young officer was a Lieutenant in the Scots Greys, and lost his life in the engagement at Rensburgh. He was a young man of much promise and idolised by his relatives. In consequence of the death of the Hon W. M'Clintock Bunbury the Carlow Hounds did not hunt this week.

Nice to hear of the name James Brett from old Leighlin. Remembering the article by Theresa Kelly in the Carloviana about Daniel Cahill: “ Rev. Daniel Cahill by Teresa Kelly - Carloviana 1962 pp Born Ballimagall, Arles, 1796, died 1864. The youngest of three sons. Briefly curate of Leighlinbridge, and then became Professor at Carlow College, and then moved to Dublin, & opened a school, now Blackbrook College. Then became a public preacher. Lived as such in Dublin, London and America. Father = Daniel Cahill, civil engineer. Mother = Catherine Brett, daughter of Oliver Brett of Seville, Spain. (Estimated birth 1770 assuming her age of confinement about 25) Theresa Kelly states that the Maternal family of Catherine had lived in Leighlinbridge for 600 years, being descended from Sir Hugh le Brett, governor of Leighlin. “ I think Mrs Kelly may mean the paternal side. Although her father is said to be from Seville, Farmer James Brett clearly was not. Judging by Sir Hugh le Brett, it would seem that the Brett clan had also a very long association in the neighbourhood. Anybody able to throw further light on this? > From: irl-carlow-request@rootsweb.com > Subject: IRL-CARLOW Digest, Vol 8, Issue 189 > To: irl-carlow@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 12:05:48 -0600 > > > > Before you send an email to this List you must first of all subscribe to the List. > > Today's Topics: > > 1. 1767,Brett+Vigors+Harding+Casey.

I was brigade adjutant, aged 24 at the time and I?d been born in Carlow. We had rooms, but no uniforms. I wore a lounge suit with Sam Browne belt which identified me as an officer. I didn?t carry a gun and hardly ever wore a hat. All the Privates were Volunteers. The arms were a miscellaneous collection of South African war ones. (Ducketts Grove was burned after.) Food varied: some chap who had been a butcher would steal a couple of sheep. We ran simple courses with 50 ? 60 men, none of us had enough training to do proper courses.I was a teacher, and had little experience as I?d been on the run, captured and interned in the Rath. In Carlow we always had a lot of reports to make out. Commandant Stack was in his mid 20?s, about a year older than me, from Kerry and also on the run. He?d been a chemist?s assistant in a shop beside the Post Office, and didn?t appear ! > in public till after the Truce- a lightweight, but he had glamour. The C.O., Malone, was an alcoholic.? > > ?We had to deal with local fellows robbing and infringing orders ? two in particular. The Adjutant General in Dublin said, ?OK, I have the keys of Mountjoy?, and sent a senior officer by train to collect them, take them back up by train and march them via O?Connell Street to Mountjoy. He turned out to be Sean MacBride, then a young-looking 18 with the rank of Captain ? just a little whippersnapper, with a strong French accent. We were very annoyed. That he was such a youth was bad enough, but a Frenchman was the last straw! And he was all in arms with bandoliers ? can you imagine what we in civvies thought when he turned up? But he was tough enough.? > > ?There were few disturbances really.* the N. Fusiliers didn?t manhandle us or be abusive. I couldn?t say a word against them. They weren?t popular, but certainly weren?t unpopular. Our vindictiveness concentrated on the Auxiliaries and the Black and Tans. (One Black and Tan had been hanged by the British for a murder in Baltinglass.) For the 3 days of taking over Carlow Barracks, I was the officer sent [from Ducketts Grove]. We had lunch at the Royal Hotel, sitting at different tables. We never shook hands. The quartermaster with the inventory showed me through every room of the barracks, stables included, locked the door and and handed me the keys. I signed for them, and my lot marvelled at the way I could sign. The soldiers left the barracks in good condition. Next day we marched [in] by arrangement and the military presented arms as we did so. When we had settled in, we then presented arms to them as they marched out. We entered the barracks and the gates closed behind u! > s. After the gate shut we held no private ceremony; just went to our allotted places. We were a scratch lot ? a motley crowd - with a funny collection of arms, an assortment of guns and equipment. We had a few short Lee Enfield rifles, some long Lee Enfields, and a couple of Mausers. I myself shouldered a Le Henry rifle that probably last saw service long before the Boer War. We took over their lorries so we were able to carry on where they left off with what they had. Ducketts Grove itself was burned [some time] afterwards.? > > ? When the Northumberland Fusiliers arrived in June 1921, an army lorry waiting at the station to meet their 11.15am train was seized and burned out by armed men. Local girls had their hair cut for fraternizing with soldiers. A youth was found tied to the chapel gates with a placard reading ?Convicted for aiding the enemy?. > ? In Borris, the company (of the same regiment) stationed there couldn?t wait to leave. Did they shoot or fish at leisure, as it was claimed? ?Not bloody likely,? snapped one officer subsequently. His wire cage was opposite the low wall of an estate belonging to the famous huntsman, Kavanagh, born without arms or legs, who rode on a specially constructed saddle with the reins clamped in his teeth. ?After dark, Kavanagh?s middle-aged son would slip across the road in carpet slippers to dine with us, terrified but lonely. We probably did him an injustice to invite him at all.? A couple of subalterns were drinking in a pub further down the street, despite a warning notice, when a rifle was pointed at them from Kavanagh?s wall. > ? Back in Carlow early in 1922, after the Truce, sergeants from the First Battalion were relaxing over a pint in a local hotel ? unarmed, as agreed by the terms ? when a group of Sinn Fein ?armed to the teeth? walked in. One held up his glass and drank loudly ?to the denigration of His Majesty and the British soldiers with language not fit for reproduction?. The sergeants left, swearing beneath their breath. > ? Chink Dorman-Smith whipped in, however, with the Carlow Hounds, and hunt subscriptions accounted for half the annual income of any hunt within riding distance of a garrison. Stand takings at the Curragh and Punchestown were comfortably padded out by Army money, and ?100,000 a month was circulated in the garrison district. The Truce meant that all garrison towns were about to be financially hit. > > MILITARY LEAVING CARLOW. BARRACKS TAKEN OVER. > 28th February 1922 > Early in the week one hundred men of the Northumberland Fusiliers left Carlow, and during later days the remainder took their leave. In the meantime the stores, etc., had been auctioned and removed. It was at first stated that the formal taking over of the Barracks by the I.R.A. would take place on Tuesday morning, but the function was postponed till the following afternoon at 3 o?clock. Then 5 o?clock was mentioned. A large crowd had assembled in town, and there was much enthusiasm. The band of the Fianna was in readiness. > However, shortly after noon on Thursday the Barracks were taken over, Brigadier-Commandant Stack having been previously handed over possession of the premises. During the actual taking over Commandant Stack was accompanied by several of the local Staff, and the general appearance of the occupying detachment reflected credit on the Commmandant and all concerned. > The detachment left the Town Hall for the Barracks. A large number had assembled. Apart altogether from the processional display, there was a large assemblage at the Barrack Gate, and when the well-appointed men of the I.R.A. passed hrought the portals a ringing cheer went up. No doubt the scene was heartening. Carlow Military Barrcks ? one of the oldest in Ireland ? was taken over by the forces of the Irish nation. > A large Sinn Fein flag was hoisted over the central entrance, and before a good many people understood the significance and historicity of the scene, the crowd had dispersed. Perhaps one of the best comments on the incident was passed by one old lady who tearfully exclaimed in accents full of sincerity: ?Thanks be to God.? So say we all. > > REVIEW OF VOLUNTEERS. CARLOW BRIGADE AREA. > On Sunday in glorious weather the above took place at the Polo Grounds, Browne?s Hill, Carlow. From about 10.30 the various contingents poured into the town from all parts of the Brigade Area in Wicklow, Carlow and Kildare, accompanid by several bands. A special train was run from Borris, which conveyed Volunteers from the southern portions of the county. It was the first Sunday train run on this line for a very considerable time. The scene at Browne?s Hill was a memorable one. Thousands of spectators who had travelled by motors, bicycles etc., from all parts of the adjoining counties witnessed the review. The various battalions were formed up on several lines reaching the full length of the field. They presented a very smart military appearance, which reflected the greatest credit on the various commandants. About 3.30 the lines were inspected, and afterwards to the strains of the Carlow Fianna Pipers, followed by the Boy Scouts, the several contingents reformed and marched! > into the town. Notwithstanding the huge gathering, which was undoubtedly the largest ever seen in Carlow, the utmost order prevailed, owing to the excellent arrangements which were carried out by the I.R.P. The companies were dismissed by their officers at various points in the town. The following bands were present ? Graiguecullen Flute and Drum band, Carlow Fianna Pipers, Rathvilly Pipers and Clashganny Pipers. [Probably from the Carlow Nationalist and reproduced without attribution in the Regimental Magazine, St. George?s Gazette.] > > St George?s Gazette 1922: The Garrison proper of the Barracks, Headquarters and Y Company, marched out at 08.00 on 7th February. Before departure steps were taken to render it impossible for the tricolour of the Republic to be displayed from the place formerly sacred to the Flag of the Union, and during the night the flagstaff was snapped off at a point where it proruded above the Barrack gateway. The Detachment was played to the station by the Band. The early hour precluded any great demonstration of dislike or regret. Almost might we have departed unobserved, save for the attentions of a few of the great unwashed who waved tricolour flags, booed, hissed and cheered. > > > > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 4 > Date: Mon, 27 May 2013 17:35:53 +0100 > From: Michael Purcell <carlowmike@gmail.com> > Subject: [IRL-CARLOW] 1901,Clowry,Cummins,Byrne,O'Neill. > To: irl-carlow@rootsweb.com > Message-ID: > <CAKqwSs6YqTz5mV_h=EUs+t+_KaiNvqeK3oaUSBpYo3XNGRhz-w@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Carlow Sentinel. > May 1901. > Sad death from Alcoholic poisoning. > An Inquest on the body of James O'Neill, Killane, Carlow, aged 19 years. > >From the evidence of John Cummins, it appears two men named Jeremiah Clowry > and Michael Byrne accompanied deceased to Cummins's house where Michael > Byrne produced a bottle of whiskey, containing about 5 naggins. > The bottle was passed around, and the deceased boy took a good portion of > it on two occasions and the last time the deceased emptied it, it then > contained nearly two glasses. > Then all sang songs and chatted for some time, when Clowry went home.

Hi List, Reading this article brought back memories of searching, and finding, this old Graveyard in Carlow. I had been asked by an Australian Lister to search for her ancestor's grave during our ten day stay in Carlow a few years back. The Archivist in the Library did not know where it was located! On my second last day, I eventually went to the Town Hall office and was served by a very helpful lady who looked up the Burials and then directed me to the Graveyard. Only a short walking distance away, through a gate and there it was, a peaceful, if overgrown spot on the banks of the river. With the aid of the map provided I easily found the grave, photographed it and sent it off to Queensland! I never did get back to the Archives to inform them in case others came looking. On another note, yesterday I received a letter posted by the owner of our previous house. On renovating the fireplace in the main bedroom, the builder discovered an old photograph which had fallen down behind the mantelpiece. Fortunately, on the back was written, in my now deceased Aunt's writing, that the couple depicted were her g. grandparents, my g.g.grandparents and my daughter's g.g.g.grandparents - the McKENZIES from Scotland. Wrong!!! Through my own research I know that they are my g.g.grandparents, Thomas and Mary SHARKEY from Roscommon, N. Ireland.....the Catholic, not Presbyterian side of the family. This photograph is on the cover of a book, written about the family. Their daughter, Mary SHARKEY married Phillip MOORE (family from Clonmore, co.Carlow). Just goes to show, research the provenance and don't trust anything written by a family member!! Thank goodness though that my Aunt did write it on the back of the old photograph though, because otherwise it would not have been returned to me. In this Family History lark, we are grateful for anything! Cheers!.........Judy, Perth W.Australia
