Hi, Irish Times Magazine Oct 21 2006 'Land's End' by Turtle Bunbury - (a forthcoming book) pg.15 Paddy Gleeson Born 1904. Farmer, Bodyke, Co. Clare. Paddy Gleeson, a 103-year-old bachelor farmer ......... The Gleesons were cattle farmers from Sixmilebridge. At the turn of the century Gleeson's father Bartholomew, took on the pub in O'Callaghan's Mills. He soon married the mill owner's daughter, and, on May 20th, 1904, Gleeson was born. He was followed by four siblings before his mother died, in 1911. " I was nine years old when she left us, with a baby sister and all." ............. In October 1916 Bartholomew sold the pub and moved to New York with his two younger sons and daughter. Gleeson, by now 14, was left behind with his older sister, to look after an elderly aunt. "She had no one to care for her, so I stopped there." Gleeson never saw his father again. "He died in New York and is buried there." Bartholomew can be seen in the 1901 census at Mountievers, Sixmilebridge 118/12. Pg.16 Michael "Patsy" Flanagan Born 1924. Drummer and farmer, Bartra, Lahinch, Co. Clare. ......... Flanagan is known locally as Michael Patsy, to distinguish him from all the other Michael Flanagans in Lahinch. Born to a small farming family in the south Co.Clare parish of Mullagh ........... .....Musical blood flows on both sides. His father was a kinsman of Bobby Casey; his mother counted Junior Crehan and Liam Og O'Flynn amoung her relatives. .......... Declan

Hi Kelly, As England & Ireland were part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland from 1800 to 1922, no records would have been kept of movements between the two. Even now there is free travel between Ireland & the UK. Brendan Burke Dublin.

My ancestors Thomas Patrick O'Connor and wife Johannah May (nee Bowen) I have traced back as far as 1864 They were both from Ireland and eventually emigrated to England and then Canada. Family lore suggests Thomas was from either county Cork or Clare; more likely Clare. Johannah was from Limerick. According to Canadian census records they were both born 1837. At some time prior to 1864 they emigrated to England, living and working at Portsea Island (now Portsmouth). Three children, Thomas, Elizabeth and Mary Ann were born at Portsea Island beginning in 1864. There was possibly another son Patrick, born in Ireland. In 1867 the family emigrated to Canada. My question is, were any records ever kept of people such as this, who left Ireland for England during the period 1852 to 1864? I am trying to acquire more information on their time in Ireland, where from? marriage date? birthrecords? Other family members? Could anyone please be of assistance in offering advice or look ups? Much appreciated. Kelly O'Connor Ontario, Canada

Hi, Just posting my interests. My g-grandfather Daniel Kenny/Canny son of James and Bridget O'Halloran of Cappakea (I think) definately in the parish of O'Briensbridge born c1824. Daniel had a sister Mary who married Daniel Crotty. Daniel Kenny married Ann McNamara of Ballina, Tipperary and had two children in Ireland. James born 1848 and Mary 1851 - one and possibly both baptised at St Mary's Limerick. The Crottys came to Melbourne in 1849 and Daniel, Ann & 2 children on the Wanata in 1852.

Hi, Below is part of one of the entries from Australian Dictionary of Biography http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/scripts/adbp-ent_search.php?splacetype=all&splacetext=Clare%2BIreland posted by Sharon. I suspect that this Susan O'Dea could possibly be a daughter of Gilbert O'Dea of Derrycrossane, Kilmihil. Declan CASEY, GILBERT STEPHEN (1856-1946), labour organizer and agitator, was born in County Clare, Ireland, son of Patrick Casey, storeman, and his wife Susan, née O'Dea. With little formal education, he went to sea and soon absorbed trade union ideas. He probably arrived in Queensland as a seaman in the emigrant barque Southesk in October 1883 and was subsequently employed as a seaman, bushworker, coalminer and wharflabourer. On 14 October at the General Registry Office, Brisbane, he married Alice Tighe, née Shile, who had already been twice married. >From February 1886 Casey was associated with the Queensland Maritime Council through the Brisbane Wharf Labourers' Union which he had helped to form in the previous year. In 1888 the council sent him on an organizing mission to Maryborough, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville; there he helped to found the Townsville Trades and Labor Council. As a member of the Brisbane T.L.C., Casey became a trustee for the Trades Hall reserve, worked for the June 1889 reconstitution of the council into the Australian Labour Federation, and became a member of its central district council. In December he joined Thomas Glassey and Albert Hinchcliffe in a successful mission to bring the bush unions into the A.L.F. Casey was appointed full time in April 1890 and in his first frenetic three months organized new unions and established district councils at Maryborough, Rockhampton, Charters Towers and Townville, a considerable feat. At a meeting in February he was appointed chairman of the board of trustees of the Worker. Embroiled in the maritime and pastoral strikes of 1890-91, Casey obstinately pursued the romantic chimera of a general strike even when more pragmatic leaders were anxious to arrange a return to work before defeat turned to rout. His extremism attracted attack from anti-labour forces. The newspaper Judge accused him of incest and, in a subsequent libel action, he was awarded contemptuous damages which did not cover costs. Arrested at Barcaldine in 1891 on a charge of inciting to arson, he was remanded in custody for two weeks before being released without the charge being heard. Casey was a self-proclaimed evangelist for the 'new unionism', believing it would radically transform existing society, which he saw as dominated by 'those who rob legally, those who rob illegally and those who it pays to maintain the law'. After the 1891 strike he found it hard to accept the federation's support for a gradualist political Labor Party which he believed would be easy prey for 'wirepullers'. He became a fervent member of William Lane's New Australia Co-operative Settlement Association and donated his Brisbane home as a prize in a fund-raising raffle for its projected Utopia in South America. On 31 December 1893 Casey and his wife left with the second expedition to New Australia. Friction rather than fraternity proved to be the keynote of his Paraguayan career. He stayed when the colony split, returning briefly to Australia in 1894 as agent for the New Australians in the struggle for the assets of the association. He was elected president of the Sociedad Co-operativa Colonizadora Nueva Australia in 1896, but the colony's income improved rapidly after his defeat in 1900. His wife had left him in 1895 and married another disenchanted New Australian in South Africa; Casey married a Paraguayan, Maria Antonia Sosa. With their two sons he raised cattle at La Novia, dabbled in sidelines at Asuncion, and contributed occasional letters and articles to the Labor press in Australia. After long service as chief of police at New Australia, he died there on 2 October 1946. Select Bibliography G. Souter, A Peculiar People (Syd, 1968); D. J.

Maria, I just stumbled across another possible placename for Wrinstown. This one is quite a large town, in the North. The town of Waringstown is in County Down, on the border with Armagh and just across the border from Lurgan town. It's another possibility. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
