Mick, My wife and I are in Ireland at the moment visiting all the places our forebears came from. I am a descendant of Thomas Clowry who with his brother John was convicted of sheep stealing in 1819 at the Carlow Assizes . Do you have any information on the Carlow Assizes for 1819? John Clowry's wife Mary made a petition to Dublin Castle to be allowed to go to Australia to be with her husband. She was unsuccessful. Regards John and Julie Clowry
Does anyone have a copy of General Thomas Clony's book ‘A personal narrative of those transactions in the county Wexford, in which the author was engaged, during 1798’? I am looking to check a reference indexed in the book to a man called Finn. I am hoping this might be William Finn of Drummin (Drummond) near St Mullins in County Carlow who I am presently researching. William Finn was one of twenty-one St. Mullins men whose names were enshrined upon a commemoration plaque installed inside the gateway of the village graveyard to mark the 150th anniversary of the Rebellion in 1948. All twenty-one men served with the United Irishmen during the Rebellion and they were all later buried at St. Mullins. The other twenty were General Thomas Cloney, John Byrne, George Dalton, John Scolardy, James Doyle, Patrick Foley, Henry Hammond, Patrick Kearney, John Lacey, Murty Lawlor, Patrick Logan, George Malone, Frank Moore, James Rourke, Sean Ruadh, Darach Doyle, Laurence O'Keefe, John Whelan, Maurice Kavanagh and Colonel Morgan Kavanagh. I wonder if these men acted as one unit and, if so, did they serve under General Cloney during the battles of Three Rocks (a victory for the rebels which gave them near total control of County Wexford), New Ross (a brutal loss for the rebels) and Foulksmills (another British victory)?

Hi Turtle The book is online athttp://archive.org/stream/apersonalnarrat01thomgoog#page/n176/mode/2up/search/William There are two Finn's in the Subscriber list, W. F., a barrister, and Lawrence, both Esquires and both living when the book was written so not likely your William. The book seems worth reading though.

Many thanks Tom and Mary, yep, different Finns but I'll keep on a-hunting ... General Cloney sounds like a fine man from what I've read of him thus far.

Turtle, if you go to http://www.archive.org/details/texts and type in A personal narrative of those transactions in the county Wexford you should be able to read it online or download or search in it.
