I think the interpretation that Miss Russell lived in Skibbereen may not be correct. "THE POOR IN SKIBBEREEN. WE have received for the poor of this district £2 from Mr. John Daly, of Harpur's Lane, £1 from Mr. Jeremiah Buckley, Mallow Lane, and 10s. from Miss mary Russell, do., which we shall forward by the next post to the Rev. Mr. Fitzpatrick." There was a Mallow Lane on the north side of Cork. It was the continuation northward over the brow of the hill of Shandon Street. It was later known as Clarence Street and is now Gerald Griffin Street. I suspect that this is the address in question. There were Russells in the vicinity of this street some 50 years. I do not suggest they are the same people as in 1846 but it is possible. Harpur's Lane is likewise a Cork City address. My belief is that money was collected in the City for the poor of Skibbereen. The famine was very bad in that region at that time. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Barbara Bouchey Sent: 29 April 2009 17:31 To: [email protected] Subject: Articles in Old Irish Newspapers Dennis Ahern - how did you find this info in the Cork Examiner?
