J.J. and other Listers, As you may have read in previous e-mails, my great grand-mother was Elizabeth Hughes from Ballinabranna house. She married my great grandfather, James Dowling of Linkardstown in May, 1851. Her father was Edward Hughes 1778-1836 and he married Mary Conor 1796-1879. We don't know his father's name. Edward and Mary had seven daughters and one son. Their children were as follows : Tim who married Mary Byrne, Alicia who married Pierce McGrath of Bagenalstown. The McGraths left a lot of money to Bagenalstown and the Memorial Hall and football field etc. Anne married John Browne of Bagenalstown, Julie married Laurence Hosey , Margaret married John Ryan, Brigid married A McKeever ? And one daughter went to California and married a man called Shale or Hal, we don't know anything about her. If anybody has anything else on this family I am interested ! The house is lovely and if I win the Lotto I will buy it and keep it in the family ! It is situated on the hill and the countryside around it is beautiful.
