Mick, I got great enjoyment out of this transcription. I believe Margaret and Anne(nee Headon/Heydon/Haydon) are related directly to me. Anne being my third great grandmother. Her death certificate can be found here: http://url.ie/hgcy and present at death is Margaret Snoddy. Margaret Clowry marriage certificate to Michael Snoddy is here: http://url.ie/hgd4 If you spot any more Snoddy/Clowry tomfoolery in documents it would be great to see them. If you know anything in particular about Anne Clowry's family, this would also be of huge interest to me. I think I mentioned before that Anne's husband Michael was a bricklayer and four generations later my father was a bricklayer too. If anyone comes across anything related to bricklayers/masons in Carlow I would be really really interested.

[ faded newspaper cuttings in the Pat Purcell Papers, case relates to my granduncle, Michael Snoddy. ]. Carlow Sentinel. September 1881. Following an assault by Michael Snoddy on Laurence Rorke, Michael was held in custody at Carlow Barracks , his wife Margaret Snoddy formerly Margaret Clowry was "summoned for a breach of the prison rules, for bringing into Michael Snoddy a quantity of spirits in tea". Margaret stated that she was bringing her husband his breakfast in jail, she had tea in a jug and William Colquohean, head warder of Carlow Jail found that there was whiskey mixed with the tea. There was also a case against Anne Clowry, mother of Margaret Snoddy, for sending in a shirt to Michael Snoddy with a quantity of loose tobacco stuffed into the collar-band, it was claimed that the tobacco was only used as wadding to keep the wearers neck warm !. Both cases were dismissed. Assault Case. Magistrates present - Arthur Fitzmaurice, Esquire, Chairman ; Right Hon. Henry Bruen, Horace Rochfort, and Robert Clayton Browne, Esquires. Case against Michael Snoddy and Francis O' Neill, both respectable young men, appeared on bail, charged by the police with having violently assaulted Laurence Rorke at Carlow on the 15th August 1881. The case was twice adjourned - first in consequence of Rorke not being able to appear, and on the second occasion owing to the absence of Mr Malcomson. My Tully asked for a further adjournment but further postponement was opposed as Mr Hickson was going to America. Laurence Rorke ( whose forehead bore traces of bad usage ) stated that on the night of the 15th of August between 8 and 9 o'clock he was going down Tullow Street when he met Snoddy and he asked Snoddy what was the reason he ( Rorke ) could not get a job on the railway as well as any other man. Snoddy grabbed hold of him by the collar and the two of them got into holts.
