">John MUNGOVAN of Kanturk...>" This townland had me confused until I searched and realised it was a typo; it should be "Kinturk".

He had been at a funeral from Ennis on that day, of a Mrs. KELLY, Kilmaley and was returning hom on horseback accompanied by his father in law Daniel REIDY when about a half mile from his home the deceased's horse seems to have taken fright causing Reidy's horse to gallop on in front. It would appear that poor MUNGOVAN was then thrown by the restive horse and, it is believed, to have been killed on the spot. There was no eye witness of the tragic event. An inquiry was held on Monday by Mr. F.F. CULLINAN, solicitor. Coroner, Mr T. DOOHAN being the foreman of the jury. Daniel REIDY of Glaun, who was the first witness examined, gave evidence to the fact that he knew the deceased who was his son in law. The deceased, who was about forty years of age, was a farmer. He had seen him last alive about six o'clock on Saturday night, having met him at the funeral of Mrs KEANE, which came from Ennis. They came from Kilmaley Cross, both being riding on horses. When they got about half mile from the deceased's place the horse on which the deceased was riding got some fright and commenced to gallop which set witness' horse also off. He then got in front of the deceased and was not able to stop his horse until he went for about a half mile. Witness then walked home. He was told where the body was found and that place would b quite close to where the horse became frightened. Michael KERIN, Slieveloughane, stated that he knew the deceased. He remembered Michael and John DOOHAN being at his father's house on Saturday night at about half past nine o'clock. After leaving the house, they came back again and said that there was a horse in McINERNEY's field. Witness went out to see what horse was there. He then saw a saddle on the horse which he recognised as belonging to the deceased. They caught the horse and they found the bridle broken as was also the girth of the saddle. Having taken the horse out they made a search and after some time they found the body of the decease who was partly lying on his face close to the ditch of the field in which the horse had been, just at the cross. The deceased's shoulder was partly against the fence. As far as witness could see, the man was dead but the body was not cold. They took him into witness' father's house and there put him before the fire but he never showed any signs of life. They sent for the priest. Dr T. KILLEEN, medical officer of Killaniv, gave evidence of his having examined the body of the deceased. There was a contused wound on the right side of his face and dislocation of the cervical vertebrae which was the cause of death. Those injuries would be caused by falling off a horse. The jury returned a verdict that John MUNGOVAN was accidentally killed on Saturday, the second of February, by falling off a horse which he was riding.

The house of Mr. John MUNGOVAN was fired into with a number of gunshots entering the windows of the parlour, bedroom and kitchen with the glass being broken. It is said that from twelve to twenty shots were fired through the windows. Mr. Mungovan and his son hurriedly got out of bed, dressed and went out for the purpose of trying to discover the parties. They saw the moonlighters going through an adjoining field but were not able to recognise them. The motive attributed to the occurrence is that some dispute arose over some land. ___________________________________________________________ Mon.

Very interesting reading, Declan. Please keep them coming. It's great to see the healthy sense of law and order which prevailed in those times and which is sorely lacking nowadays ("Committed - To our Jail.....Patrick Hasset, being an idle and disorderly man, and a stranger who can give no satisfactory account of himself......"; half of today's Friday night High Street population fits into that category but is simply allowed to run - or lounge - around loose).

Thanks for this, Larry. It's given me a clue... I have never had reason to search for my Foleys in the Miltown Malbay area before this, but on the PARISH HISTORY link on the URL below, in the curates list, I see a Fr. W. Foley. I wonder if this is Fr. William Foley who was living in Lavally, Kilchreest, in the 1901 census with his brother, Fr. Michael Foley? If it is, I have been told that Fr. William Foley wrote a book or some other publication about his family history. As I have been researching my Foleys who first appeared documented in Clare only as late as the TABs in 1824 in Kilfiddane parish, I have some hope that these Foleys may be related to mine. The parishes of Kilfiddane and Kilchreest share a narrow stretch of border. Does any subscriber have anything to add to this?

Hi, Chris and all other listers who have enquired about this topic in the last few weeks: As of now, there is just not enough local support (interest in helping to organise expressed by those researchers who live in Co. Clare) to move forward with the idea of a seminar/conference/convention for 2007. The interest among the subscribers of this list has been more than sufficient, however, and by that I am encouraged that some day this project will happen. Further, I heartily encourage discussion on-list about this topic, i.e. what non-Clare residents would want out of such a gathering.

The exertions of John Carroll, Esq., and Mr. Mat. Hehir, to preserve the other persons who were in the boat when she upset, were fortunatly successful, and their humanity in supplying them with every necessary requisite to meritt their almost lifeless bodies reflects on them the greatest credit.

The escort which accompanied the criminals from this town, was met on approaching the place of exection by the parties of the 12th regiment, stationed at Tulla and O'Callaghan's Mills and the Ross Castle Yeomanry. They died penitent and acknowledged their guilt. they were both young men, and we sincerely hope their disgraceful and untimely fate, will prove a salutary warning to the great concourse of people that witnessed it.

Clare Journal Monday, February 11, 1907 *Kilmaley Farmer's Tragic End Killed by Fall From Horse* John MUNGOVAN of Kanturk met with his death at Slieveloughane, near Kilmaley, under most tragic circumstances by a fall from his horse. He had been at a funeral from Ennis on that day, of a Mrs. KELLY, Kilmaley and was returning hom on horseback accompanied by his father in law Daniel REIDY when about a half mile from his home the deceased's horse seems to have taken fright causing Reidy's horse to gallop on in front. It would appear that poor MUNGOVAN was then thrown by the restive horse and, it is believed, to have been killed on the spot. There was no eye witness of the tragic event. An inquiry was held on Monday by Mr. F.F. CULLINAN, solicitor. Coroner, Mr T. DOOHAN being the foreman of the jury. Daniel REIDY of Glaun, who was the first witness examined, gave evidence to the fact that he knew the deceased who was his son in law. The deceased, who was about forty years of age, was a farmer. He had seen him last alive about six o'clock on Saturday night, having met him at the funeral of Mrs KEANE, which came from Ennis. They came from Kilmaley Cross, both being riding on horses. When they got about half mile from the deceased's place the horse on which the deceased was riding got some fright and commenced to gallop which set witness' horse also off. He then got in front of the deceased and was not able to stop his horse until he went for about a half mile. Witness then walked home. He was told where the body was found and that place would b quite close to where the horse became frightened. Michael KERIN, Slieveloughane, stated that he knew the deceased. He remembered Michael and John DOOHAN being at his father's house on Saturday night at about half past nine o'clock. After leaving the house, they came back again and said that there was a horse in McINERNEY's field. Witness went out to see what horse was there. He then saw a saddle on the horse which he recognised as belonging to the deceased. They caught the horse and they found the bridle broken as was also the girth of the saddle. Having taken the horse out they made a search and after some time they found the body of the decease who was partly lying on his face close to the ditch of the field in which the horse had been, just at the cross. The deceased's shoulder was partly against the fence. As far as witness could see, the man was dead but the body was not cold. They took him into witness' father's house and there put him before the fire but he never showed any signs of life. They sent for the priest. Dr T. KILLEEN, medical officer of Killaniv, gave evidence of his having examined the body of the deceased. There was a contused wound on the right side of his face and dislocation of the cervical vertebrae which was the cause of death. Those injuries would be caused by falling off a horse. The jury returned a verdict that John MUNGOVAN was accidentally killed on Saturday, the second of February, by falling off a horse which he was riding.

" > Now I had thought this was in Limerick, but I thought that it might be in Corbally >" I am confused about what you had thought - were you referring to Park, House, Corbally or to St.Patrick's graveyard? Corbally is a municipal borough of Limerick city and is a townland in the civil parish of St.Patrick. The grave yard is located near St. Brigid's church, off the Dublin Road. To my knowledge there is a not a transcription of the gravestone inscriptions anywhere - certainly not on-line. The diocese of Limerick in their heritage site indicates that most of the headstones are unreadable due to weathering. And I found that to be true when I visited the graveyard five years ago - in fact the weeds were, except for vault graves, higher than the headstones!

Now I had thought this was in Limerick, but I thought that it might be in Corbally. Does anyone know where I might find this burial and if there might be a transcription of this that cemetery? With my fingers crossed I await any replies! Thanks.. Debbie

Brendan Do you know if there is any connection to the Michael Kenny of Liscasey. He is a baptism sponsor for one of my relatives in Liscasey. A relative in the area mention that she thought my Thomas O'Rourke originally came from Freagh. Is it is in Kilfarboy? They lived in Liscasey from 1845 some living there at the present a Michael Kenny and a John Fitzpatrick I believe on the other side were their neighbors. I assumed that Michael was the one in the baptism. The O'Rourke family lived close to the police station in Liscasey. Teri Good evening, Eric. I don't know much about the Kennys & have more information about the Dysert Kennys than the Freagh Kennys, but I suspect the two families were related. I imagine you may well already know much, if not all, of the following but I hope it may help fill in a blank or two. The sponsors at the baptism of my g-grandfather Anthony O'Dwyer in Kilmurry Ibrickane in 1839 were Thomas Kenny of Galway & Margaret Kenny of Frea, Kilfarboy. The child's mother was Ellen O'Dwyer, née Gallery, the daughter of Christopher Gallery of Newhall who in 1792 had married a Miss Kenny, daughter of Mr. Edmond Kenny of Dysart.(Ennis Chronicle Feb. 9th, 1792). Burke's Landed Gentry p 344 has Nicholas Smith O'Gorman married 1843 Margaret, daughter of Michael Kenny of Dysert & Holywell, Co. Clare. Finally, going back 150 years, the Manor Courts of the Earl of Thomand (Analecta Hibernica No.38 2004) at Ennis 10th October 1684 has William Kenny, Constable, upper division of Drumcleafe. Interestingly, at the same time the Spaight survey shows an Edmond o Dwire in Freagh of ye Castle. I wonder if the Kenny / O'Dwyer link dates from around that time. Do you know when the Kennys came to Freagh or whether they originated there? If you, or anybody else knows anything more about the people I've mentioned, I'd be very grateful for any information. In particular, I'd like to know the christian name of my g-g-g grandfather, the 1792 Mr. Kenny of Dysert. Thank you & best regards.
