Pat Purcell Papers. 1820. The Informations of Thomas Kidd of the Town of Carlow, Gauger, Taken before me one of his Majesties Justices of the Peace for Carlow. Who being duly sworn and Examined Thomas Kidd Saith that he had under Seizure forty Six Barrells of Malt, as appeared by Gauge, the property of Mary Pauls of Carlow, he left Michael Brennan as Sheriffs Bailiff in the charge thereof, when Thomas Kidd repaired to bed. And in some time after Dudly Hill, Esquire, and Miss Mary Pauls came to the House of Thomas Kidd to inform him the Malt had been stolen and on Thomas Kidd repairing to the Store where the Malt had been stored and found some of the said Malt so Seized to have been Stolen by Patrick Hackett and Thomas Bulger of the Town of Carlow as he heard and believes. Hackett having been found in the act thereof by Mr Dudly Hill and Thomas Kidd further Saith that he has every reason to suppose and believe that Michael Brennan and Bryan Bulger were aiding and abetting and assisting in the taking or conveying the stolen Malt or otherwise were privy thereto ~ (signed) Thomas Kidd. Sworn before me this 18th day of May 1820, (signed) Edward Box.

FINALLY! A mention of Bulgers in Carlow, albeit likely thieves (oh well). Maybe this is why I haven't been able to find any information on my gggrandfather, Edward Bulger, and his family. I can assure you the Bulgers were all law-abiding (and teetotalers!) in the U.S.! ----- Original Message ----- From: "michael purcell" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 4:47:13 AM Subject: [IRL-CARLOW] 1820,Kidd,Brennan,Pauls,Hill,Bulger,Hackett,Box Pat Purcell Papers. 1820.

Well, you have to admit, not ALL the Bolgers/Bulgers in the US were law-abiding. TeeHee! There is the case of a certain Whitey (James)... Being from near Boston and having Bulger relations myself, I have traced Whitey's ancestry back to Newfoundland, but can't get them back across the big pond! I do have some Carlow Bulger info; send me an email and we can compare notes, if you'd like.
