For an online view of a "Cancelled Land" book page from the records maintained by the Valuation Office (official site: www.valoff.ie ), see http://www.boydhouse.com/alice/Carey/carey21hickeysofloughgur.htm This portion is part of a website on Lough Gur, Co. Limerick, which includes some history of a Hickey family. Several of the Hickey children went to Chicago, per the descendant who developed these pages. http://www.boydhouse.com/alice/Carey/carey20childrenofthomashickey.htm I need to explain the reference made to a book by Mary Carbery. That Mary was the English-born wife of the Carbery family who were the aristocrats ("Lord Carbery") given confiscated lands in West Cork and whose actual family name was Evans-Freke. Here are some further online references to Mary and her books: The farm by Lough Gur: the story of Mary Fogarty (Sissy O'Brien). Stories told to Mary Carbery by Mary O'Brien Fogarty. First published in 1937. West Cork Journals-- "A great book! A young Englishwoman marries and moves to a castle on a remote headland in west Cork. Her husband soon dies of consumption and the widow stays in her castle, raises her child, interacts with the local population, and keeps a journal. She learns Irish and has many observations about the people and place. The journal is found years later and editted by her grandson." Mary Carbery also wrote "The Farm by Lough Gur" .. www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/6108/bkrhis.htm Mary Carbery (1867-1949) described, with photo: http://www.biblioireland.com/3131/mary-carberys-west-cork-journal-1898-1901-or-from-the-back-of-beyond/ posted by Sharon Carberry
