ANGLO CELT -- November 15, 1855 ______________________ DEATHS. On Monday, the 13th inst., in Cavan, Mr. John Brady, aged 63 years. The deceased was amongst the oldest and most respectable inhabitants of the town -- a prosperous trader -- a good citizen -- a sterling friend, and an honest man. We do not remember another whose death was heard of with more regret, and we question if there is one in the locality who saw a better attended funeral than that which wended its sorrowing way to the old graveyard of Castletara on yesterday. We knew Mr. Brady, we esteemed him, and, like every other, we deplore his loss. Peace be with him -- we have lost a good man. On the 13th, of Hooping (sic), Marshal Burrowes, second son of Dr. O'Donovan, aged three months. ______________________ County Cavan Newspapers Transcription Project

ANGLO CELT -- November 8, 1855 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOMICIDE. - A terrible drama was enacted at the verge of Lietrim, but inside this county, on Friday night last. A party of neighbours from Carrigallen direction were in the fair of Arvagh and, going home, a quarrel(sic) took place amongst them in which a young man, named GANNON, lost his life, his abdomen being cur through, so that the intestines fearfully protruded. He did not die on the spot but survived only until he was carried within a short distance of his own home. We have learned that two young men named MURPHY, have been arrested as being of the party, but the man who inflicted the wound has not yet been made amenable. On the same night the horse of another man named DONNELLY was stabbed; it is said, by some of the same party but nearer Arvagh, so that he died. MURDER OF MISS HINDS. - We have heard it hinted that a government commission (sic) to inquire into this horrible crime, its causes and the state of public disposition, which it may involve, is not unlikely to come off. Nothing could be more desirable ' it is the duty of the government as well as of individuals to probe the matter to the bottom. When upon the subject we may as well say that we have heard it is intended to get up a requision (sic) to the High Sheriff to call a general county meeting, at which the public feeling relative to the outrage may be properly and fully expressed. The meeting on Tuesday week was not well attended because no one knew of it; the next can be better announced and will prove a different sort of thing in point of numbers, though it may be coincident in spirit. THE SEAT OF WAR. - a Well defined and beautifully distinct map of the locality from Odessa to Perekop, and of the coasts lying between Otchakov, Niccolaieff, Kherson, and Southern Russia, has (transcribers's note: sorry, the copy ends here) CAVAN PETTY SESSIONS -- MONDAY, Nov 5, Magistrate present - Theophilus THOMPSON, Esq., J.P. ----- FINDERS NOT KEEPERS. Michael M'Manus v. John Reilly, Cullentra. A charge of having in his possession the one half of a £3 note, the property of Terence SMYTH and which the latter lost in Mr. Peter REILLY's in Stradone. Terence SMYTH examined -- Lost something in Stradone last Wednesday; it was not stolen form his person, but having taken money out of his pocket to remit to his landlord, the half note in question dropped off the table, he had no doubt; the defendant would not be apt to steal it from him, but he was present at the table at the time. Michael M'MANUS, subconstable, stated the SMYTH complained of losing the note and said there was no other who could have it than the defendant; he (M'Manus) met him and asked whether he had the note, which he denied, but acknowledged it on being brought into the barracks. The court dismissed the case, cautioning the defendant and, through him, the public against putting up any money or value found; it should be at once announced to the authorities who would take care to find out the owner. The defendant in the case seemed to have no intention of stealing the note, and this, the man who lost it, most creditably urged in his favour. ________________________________________________________________________ NO APPLES ON SUNDAY. Owen FITZPATRICK and Bridget GREEN for selling apples at the end of Cavan town on the Sabbath during the hours of Divine Service. They were fined 6d each and costs. ________________________________________________________________________ THE TONGUE AND THE FIST. Patrick MONAGHAN v. John GALLIGAN. A charge of assaulting complainant at Dennbawn, as he was returning from the fair of Virginia. The complainant proved that on the occasion defendant got hold of him, tore open his shirt and said he was long watching for him; only his brother came up and saved him he was sure he would have been beaten as well as his assailant could to it. The defendant's brother (Thomas MONAGHAN) confirmed this evidence. A "neighbour man" was produced by the defendant. He was present at the alleged assault; defendant was holding witness's horse when complainant came up and asked him "how he was" the latter replied that he was as well as his neighbours wished him; some discussion then took place as to lies, with which Monaghan charged the defendant; they "faced each other like game cocks," and got into "hoults." Who made the first seizure no body knows, but the assault was very little, if any at all. The defendant stated that the complainant belled him through the country, and did so for a long time. He had a very bad tongue. The Court ruled that the assault was a most trifling one, and the complainant rather talkative. He should take care of himself for the future and be less loquacious. However, as the assault was committed, it must be punished. The defendant was fined 2s 6d. and costs. ________________________________________________________________________ MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT. Joseph FITZSIMONS v. Pat FITZSIMONS. A charge of using abusive and threatening language. The complainant and his wife were examined by Mr. John ARMSTRONG. -- She swore that on the 18th the defendant, who lives under the roof with witness and is her brother-in-law, came out and called her "dirty Dunn," (her maiden name), and said he would mind her, as she told Martin BEATTY "stories about him." He called upon her husband, his own brother, to come out until he danced upon him. He refused the invitation, and the defendant said, the "devil was travelling with him since he got married" and that he would soon give the earth "a history of Joe," though he danced three times on the gallows for it. "Joe" confirmed this evidence; he was much abused by his brother and did not like to bring him into court on account of their relationship, nor would he now, if he had left his wife alone. There was no dispute among them about land. A servant girl of the complainant corroborated both most reluctantly; she heard the defendant say, that "Joe's" time would be short after him although he kicked on the gallows for it; he appeared to have been drinking at the time. Mr. THOMPSON-- Girl, are you always as quiet as you are now? If so, you are a most amiable being (laughter). The defendant stated that the parties were angry with him on account of his taking a wife, though he invited them to the "infare" and sat down crying when they refused to accept such an invitation from a brother. The complainants acknowledged, after great .... (head-tation?), that he gave the invitation, which they would not accept, because, though they were invited to the "infare," they had not bee invited to the"wedding." He prefaced the invitation by (.....sing?) that (........) was the best man in Augharaghan, and could (........) all his brothers-in-law. The defendant was put under a rule of bail -- himself being bound in 5£, and two sureties in St. (Iv....?) ---- to keep the peace for twelve months to the complainants. Mr. Thompson said, as an individual, (were?) it in his magisterial capacity, he would represent (...) conduct of the parties to their landlord, Captain (....back?), if he ever heard of any quarrel (sic) among them again. Some respectable parties in court declared that the defendant was a very quiet boy, and the whole bad feeling arose in consequence of his having got married. Mr. Thomson (sic) to "Joe" - Had you any falling out before your brother's marriage? "Joe" - Not a word, sir. Mr. Thompson to defendant - It appears to me that you are harmless, unless when you drink. Go out and take care of yourself for the future. WHO'S GOT THE WATCH? George APPLESTALL, Eliza and Emily GRAHAM for stealing a watch, the property of Sergeant HUMPHRYS on the 13th October. The complainant proved that he was drinking in Mrs. CORRIGAN's public house in Cavan, on the day in question. He saw APPLESTALL there and clung to him, because he had an old "gra" for the regiment - the 34th - to which he belonged. Mrs. GRAHAM and her daughter were there, and two other soldiers; he (..) the reckoning for all. Mrs. Corrigan - You did not pay it yet. Witness - Wait! I will. Witness - We drank three half-pints of punch. Mrs. Corrigan - You did four half-pints. Witness - You say so. Mr. J. Armstrong, who appeared for the complainant - That's a little matter - we'll say four and pay for them. Examination resumed - Left the house at six o'clock, and having no money offered his watch, which was in his waiscoat (sic) pocket, to the landlady for the reckoning, she refused it, and he put it in his pocket. Going home the three defendants accompanied him, taking his arm. They went as far as K.. (Keadue?) , when he missed his watch and handkerchief, no other could have taken them than one of the others. Although he drank his share of the four half pints he was drunk though he was not sober. Mr. Tully - He was not (fou....? sou....?) but had plenty. Examination continued - He sat down at Keadue (?) and they left him, after which a man named REILLY came up and heard his sad tale. To Mrs. GRAHAM - Did not send in the next morning to Mrs. Carrigans, saying that he lost his watch, and would give a 1£ reward for it. Mrs. Corrigan examined by Mr. Armstrong - Saw Sergeant HUMPHRYS when leaving the house; he offered) his watch for the reckoning to witness; she declined it, as she could not take pledges, and he put it back into his pocket. He was staggering and she could not say that he knew what he was about, -- when he left witness's house, he went straight over to M'Cormack's public house. Hugh REILLY examined - Was going home that night and met Mrs. WARD, who told him that if he went up the hill he would see some sport with a man and woman. Did go up the hill and saw Mr. HUMPHRYS, who shouted that he was robbed; saw (..) he first heard the shout of robbery, the soldier and the woman leaving the sergeant and all going (..) the road from Cavan. Came up with the woman (..) and the young one said "the old blackguard (...) his hat what he says he was robbed of; he told (.....) they ought to take care of the man they had been drinking with, or he would be drowned in some (...) drains down the road. They said they did (...) a pin; let him take care of himself. Mr. Armstrong pressed for informations; there (...) matter for a jury. Mr. Thompson doubted whether if there was a jury (...) on the case they would find against the accuser (...) it would be hard to affect the character of the (...) in the circumstances, and not one of them (..) be more involved than another. Mr. Armstrong urged that there was a prima facie case made out against the accused - a case which would justify a Grand Jury in finding bills. The case was postponed until this day fortnight to hear the evidence of M'Cormack, into whose house (..) after leaving Mrs. Corrigans. MARRIED.

SIR.-- Please afford me a short space in your paper for a few remarks introductory to the following letter. I have requested, and obtained permission, to publish it. It is but an act of justice to Lord Lanesborough to do so, as our circumstances here were dragged before the public during the last Cavan election by the political opponents of his Lordship's friends, and unwarrantable endeavours made to represent him as unfavourable to the Presbyterians, which was not the fact. The Presbyterians are under a deep debt of gratitude to Lord Lanesborough for the very handsome manner in which he has come forward upon this occasion to assist them, unasked by any of them, and at a time, too, when the utmost exertions are used by others to drive them out of this place altogether. Our very best thanks are also due to Mr. Litton, his Lordship's respected and popular agent, for his uniform kindness to us, and for the prompt attention which he has always given to our affairs when broug! ht under his notice.

ANGLO-CELT JULY 28, 1848 COUNTY LEITRIM ASSIZES MURDER -- CAPITAL CONVICTION John M'DONOUGH was given in charge for the wilful murder of John M'GREEVY, in October on Friday. At the last assizes a man named Hugh KELLY was tried and convicted of this offence, and subsequently executed. The evidence was then published at length, and the same was repeated against the unfortunate man, M'DONOUGH. The facts of the case are, that on the night of the 17th October last a party of four men went to the house of Pat M'GREEVY for a gun, and, being resisted by John M'GREEVY, a shot was fired which mortally wounded him. M'GREEVY returned the fire, and killed one of the party. The prisoner was identified by a man named Thomas CLANCY, who saw the party going into M'GREEVY's house. The jury did not deliberate more than half an hour, and returned with a verdict of guilty. The prisoner did not appear to be much affected at the announcement of his fate. MURDER OF THE REV. THOMAS MAGUIRE. The Queen V. Mary REYNOLDS. In this case the trial was postponed on behalf of the crown, and the prisoners ordered to remain in custody. A similar rule was made with respect to John and Peter REILLY, who stood charged, in conjunction with Mary REYNOLDS, of poisoning Terence MAGUIRE and his wife. _____________________________________________________________ STATE OF THE COUNTY CAVAN On Sunday morning last the following notice appeared extensively placarded on the walls of this town and neighbourhood:-- "Dublin Protestant Repeal Association--A meeting of Protestants favourable to a consideration of the question of Repeal, in the present alarming and threatening state of this country, will be held in Cavan, early on the evening of the 25th inst.; when a deputation from the above association will attend.-- July 21, 1848." Immediately after it became known the police and beadle went round pulling them down; but a number of young men got others printed and no sooner was one defaced than another was put up in its place. A good deal of excitment prevailed in the interval between that and the time appointed for the meeting. On Tuesday, which is our market-day, an unusually large number of persons were seen gathering into town, furnished with sticks and other weapons. About mid-day a party of men, whom we ascertained to be Orangemen, came marching in the Farnham road to the music of fife and drum commanded by a fellow named Arthur PATTERSON, and armed with guns and bayonets. They were stopped at the entrance of the town by Captain BATTERSBY, Inspector of our County Constabulary, and Sub- Inspector LOCH, and brought into a yard where they were examined. The Inspector informs us that there were sixteen men thus armed, and that each had a license for carrying arms in his pocket. At the solicitation of the gentlemen named, the party returned again toward home. While this pro- ceeding was going on in one street, vast numbers of Orangemen from the direction of Ballyhaise gathered in and lined the Main-street, occupying public houses favourable to them in considerable force. Upon the arrival of the Dublin coach at four p.m., a rush was made to it, anticipating the appearance of the promised deputation; but those gentlemen were not there. Some one then reported that the deputation were arrested in Drogheda, and this satisfied the mob. After a few hours the Orangemen left the town, occasionally giving vent to their feelings. The above account furnishes us with important matter for comment. In the first place, who was the printer of the bills? They were done, we understand, in this town, and the printer by not affixing his name to them subjected himself to a penalty of 20l. The bills in themselves were not seditious nor inflammatory, but the cowardice that could prompt the printer to suppress his name deserves punishment; we therefore recommend the authorities to look after the offender and exact the penalty. Ha! the printer put his name to the placards, so policemen dare pull them down; or if they did, instead of directing the law against the printer we should be imploring its punishment for the police and the individuals whose orders they obeyed..... There was no riot apprehended, unless created by those boors, who don't understand the simplest principle of Christianity--forbearance. The gangs that subsequently paraded the town in a menancing manner should have been carefully watched and dispersed at once or sent to gaol. If the peace of the town was endangered there were sufficient military and policemen at hand to put down the riots. In any case, the attempt of the Orangemen to interfere with a peaceful meeting, was criminal in a high degree, and deserves the reprobation of their wealthy and enlightened friends. ==================================================== BIRTHS On the 4th inst., at the residence of her father, Carr House, Stranton, West Hartlepool, Durham, the lady of George DUGGAN, Esq., C.E., of a son, who was subsequently named John Mitchel, in memory of Ireland's illustrious "felon". On the 22nd inst., at Rahassane Park, County of Galway, the lady of Thomas A. JOYCE, Esq., of a son. ____________________________________________________________ MARRIAGES On the 24th inst., in St. Thomas's Church, by the Rev. W. B. MOLLOY, Charles O'REILLY, Esq., A. B., eldest son of Charles O'REILLY, Esq., M.D., 3 Lower Dominick street, to Gertrude second daughter of the Rev. Robert C. LOCKWOOD, Indaville Cashel, county of Tipperary.

Mr. LITTLE was well known in this county, and universally beloved and respected for his kindness and amiability; he was unmarried, but an extensive circle of relations and friends lament his premature death.

ANGLO-CELT - November 1, 1855 ____________________________ TO THE EDITOR OF THE ANGLO-CELT. SIR.-- Please afford me a short space in your paper for a few remarks introductory to the following letter. I have requested, and obtained permission, to publish it. It is but an act of justice to Lord Lanesborough to do so, as our circumstances here were dragged before the public during the last Cavan election by the political opponents of his Lordship's friends, and unwarrantable endeavours made to represent him as unfavourable to the Presbyterians, which was not the fact. The Presbyterians are under a deep debt of gratitude to Lord Lanesborough for the very handsome manner in which he has come forward upon this occasion to assist them, unasked by any of them, and at a time, too, when the utmost exertions are used by others to drive them out of this place altogether. Our very best thanks are also due to Mr. Litton, his Lordship's respected and popular agent, for his uniform kindness to us, and for the prompt attention which he has always given to our affairs when broug! ht under his notice. I am, Sir, Faithfully yours, ROBERT JAMIESON, Belturbet, Oct. 30, 1855. "Lanesborough Lodge, Oct. 16, 1855. "Sir--I have had much pleasure in empowering Mr. Litton to fix upon a piece of ground in Kilconey for your Church, and will forward your letter to him to-day to Newtownbutler, as I do not think he has yet left that place for.............

ANGLO CELT - October 25, 1855 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIRTH On the 23rd instant, at 10, Lower Dominlak-street (Dominlek-street?), the wife of George Carmichael, Esq., of a son. DIED. Oct 17, at the Copse, county Cavan, of consumption, deeply regretted, Miss Margaret LALER (LALOR?), niece of the late Right Hon. Richard LELOR (?) SHELL.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, March 11, 1852 DIED. At Cootehill, on the 8th inst., aged 48 years, Catherine, the beloved wife of John M. NALLY, of that town, grocer, after a long and painful illness, which she bore with exemplary Christian patience. In the relative situations of wife, daughter and mother, she was superior to many and inferior to none. EMIGRATION TO CANADA. The following letter has been received by Mr. Vere FOSTER, and is deserving of all consideration by those who believe in remedying the grievances of the country by draining it of the population:- "Emigration Office, Toronto, Feb. 5, 1852." "Sir - I have read with much interest your address to persons intending to emigrate to North America. It contains valuable information, and if emigrants could be induced to follow your advice, they would escape much suffering as well as imposition. The additional information which I am able to impart with respect to Upper Canada is important to a numerous class in Ireland. Unskilled labour is much required at present and will be still more in demand as the season advances. Common labourers on the Great Western Railway Line from Hamilton to Windsor, opposite Detroit, and on the Northern Lines leading from this city to Lake Huron, obtain 6 to 7 York shillings (3s. 1-1/2d. to 3s. 8d. sterling) per day, and many thousands will, I feel confident, be sure of steady employment on these or other routes now under survey at a dollar a day throughout the ensuing summer. The construction of such works always creates a demand for mechanics, and a considerable number of carpenters, masons, and bricklayers will be wanted, and may depend on getting from 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 dollars per day, if they understand their business. You will, no doubt, see by the newspapers that the Imperial Government has offered its aid to construct a grand trunk railway line from Halifax to Quebec, and that the work will in all probability commence in June or July. Should our expectations be fulfilled, not only thousands but tens of thousands of our suffering able-bodied poor will be sure of employment at good wages, if able to reach the localities where their work will be required. With reference to the 61,000 young women whom you mention as being employed in the unions, I can only say that if your local authorities think proper to send, say 1,500 healthy, decent young women, in parties of 500 each, to Canada, I would find place for that number in this section of the province. Their passages should be paid from Quebec to this city; and the amount, say 2-1/4 dollars each, remitted to A. C. Buchanan, Esq., (Governor Emigration Agent), at Quebec, who will see it properly applied. In addition to this, each girl should get a dollar more (4s. 2d. sterling), as they require many little necessaries on arrival at Toronto; besides, some little time must necessarily occur before they get into work, and rough it like young men. The remittance should be made by the mail line steamers on or before the embarkation of the young women, via New York or Boston, so as to be sure of its reaching Quebec before their arrival, to afford time to Mr. Buchanan to make a! rrangements for receiving and forwarding them without delay. The parties should embark so as to reach Quebec in June, July, and August. (Signed) "A. B. HAWKE, "Chief Emigrant Agent for Upper Canada. KILDARE ELECTION. - Upon the close of our publication, we have been informed upon the authority of a gentleman who was shown the letter, that the Duke of Leinster has written to Mr. Connor HENCHY, stating that in the event of his becoming a candidate for Kildare, he should have his Grace's support. It remains now to be seen how the cards will turn up - what game Mr. COGAN will play - and if he will retire in favour of Mr. Henchy. - Leinster Express. On Thursday morning, 26th ult., the Rev. Eugene TROY, Roman Catholic Curate of Armagh, was found dead in his bed, at the residence of Doctor CULLEN. During the last summer the reverend gentleman was seized with fever contracted in discharge of his duties as a chaplain of the workhouse. The attack was of a severe character, and the reverend gentleman never completely rallied. The immediate cause of his death was, however, an attack of gout. Mr. KING is about to erect a spinning manufactory of 500 spindles in Ballyshannon.

"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, March 4, 1852 BIRTHS. Feb. 23, at Hotwell House, county of Meath, Mrs. Henry PURDON, of a daughter. Feb. 29, at his residence, Blackrock, the wife of Charles Gavan DUFFY, Esq., of a son. MARRIED. Jan 29, in the city of Philadelphia, by the Rev. P. T. SHERIDAN, P.P., of St. Paul's Z.C. LADD, Esq., to Mary Ellen, fifth daughter of the late Edward MacCARTHY, Esq., of Castlepollard, and Orangefield, county of Cavan. Feb. 24, in Delgany Church, the Rev. James GODLEY, of Ashfield, Cavan, to Eliza Frances, fourth daughter of the late Peter LaTOUCHE, Esq., of Belview. March 2, in St. Peter's Church, by the Rev. Charles Ward, Vicar of Kilmaley, brother of the bride, John TATLOW, Esq., Solicitor, York-street, to Lucie HUTCHINSON, youngest daughter of Espine WARD, Esq., Charlemont-street. DEATHS. On Saturday morning, 28th February, at Killeshandra, Kate, second daughter of Mr. William SHERIDAN of that town, to the great regret of her numerous friends and acquaintances and the irreparable loss of the poor to whom she was a kind and unostentatious benefactor. The loss of this truly amiable young lady has left a blank in society that will not be easily filled up. She was a strict observer of the precepts of piety, charity, and humility, exemplary in her life, she went forth to receive from her creator the reward of a well-spent life in a happy eternity. Feb. 23rd, at her residende, Castle Freke, county Cork, in the 86th year of her age, Catherine CHROLETTE, Baroness CARBERY, relict of the Right Hon. John Lord Carbery.

Feb. 29, at his residence, Trumroe, Castlepollard, in the 66th year of his age, Thomas RIGGS, Esq., deeply and deservedly regretted. Feb. 29, aged 62 years, sincerely regretted, Margaret, wife of Abraham DENROCHE, Esq., proprietor of the Kilkenny Moderator. AMPUTATION OF LEG UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CHLOROFORM. - We are informed that Catherine CLARKE, an inmate of The Bailieborough union workhouse, underwent amputation of a leg for cancer on Tuesday, the 24th ult., in the workhouse infirmary of that union. The interesting and serious operation was performed by James Taylour, Esq., medical officer of the Bailieborough union workhouse. Under the full and beneficial influence of chloroform the patient remained perfectly insensible to every sense of pain during every stage of the operation and is now going on well. Near the village of Stotfield are rocks known as "Sheepie's Silver Rocks," popularly supposed to contain silver ore. Some eighty years ago a mine was actually begun there for silver, and the works were carried on for some time, though without much profit. At last a labourer was accidentally killed at the works, and operations were forthwith abandoned. In the course of last year a mining firm in London and the Isle of Man hard that lead ore was to be found in that neighbourhood of Stotfield, and they sent down a person to survey and report. He selected a sample of the ore, and on analysis it has been found to contain only a small portion of silver, but as much as seventy-five per cent of lead. - Inverness Courier. MONAGHAM ASSIZES - Monday, March 1. Judge PERRIN entered court thyis morning at ten o'clock. Petit Jury: - Messrs. Mathew VALLELY, Robert KER, James MOONEY, Thomas CRAWFORD, John QUIGLEY, Patrick MORROW, Hugh McCABE, Robt. NEVIN, John ROSS, Owen O'CONNOR, Thomas LEARY, and James CUNNINGHAM. MANSLAUGHTER. Thomas DONNARD and Mary SMITH were then indicted for the manslaughter of Margaret PLUNKETT, on the 5th October last, at Ballybay. The prisoners were acquitted. His Lordship having sentenced the priseners (sic), adverted to the state of the county, expressed his satisfaction at the absence of any wanton outrages, and having called up the high constables, cautioned them with regard to the jurors' lists. An application for the discharge of the KELLY's charged with the murder of Mr. BATESON was refused. The prisoner MURPHY was admitted to bail - himself in £50. and two sureties in £25. each. The result of the recent examinations of direct cadets for the East Indian Company's service, under the newly-established regulations, is, that one third of the number have been sent back for further preparation. At the Horse Guards, we are informed, the proportion of rejected candidates is at least one half. - Home News. KELLS AND CAVAN RAILWAY. The following resolution, which was adopted by the grand jury of this county, has been forwarded to us for publication:- Resolved - "That a proposed bill for a line of railway between Kells and Cavan is disapproved of by this grand jury, and that a petition be prepared and lodged against it."

Family history indicates that James McCallion (great-grandfather) was in America before his marriage in 1874. (We have an American clock, dated to 1871 that he brought back to Donegal.) How would one go about attempting to find his arrival manifest in the states? I believe he came through NY. Always, your help is very much appreciated! Thanks. Fran

I haven't tried looking in Scotland - I think both lots of my Kemps were farmers possibly in flax in first half 1800. Is it any use looking for them born in Scotland then, or was their migration to Co.Cavan earlier than that? Marg A. nandrews@caloundra.net PS. All my original Kemps arrived in South Australia and then went to Victoria. Only later and current ones came to Queensland.

Hi Cavan friends. Are there any records of Irish immigrants leaving Ireland for Australia? I have 2 sisters and a brother KEMP departing in 1863 on 'Adamant' and then unrelated 2 brothers KEMP departing 1864 on Adamant. From whence would they leave County Cavan? It's tough having one Irish family to research but all my eggs are in the one basket for this family as they intermarried. I have this vague hope of finding that their departure records reveal their whole history, but even a little would help! The two families lived within walking distance of each other in Castleterra and Urney, but were said to be unrelated. Yeah??? Marg A. nandrews@caloundra.net
