Brian Thanks again for your information. I noticed the reference before to the incident but it did not totally register. You have very likely given me a death date for my Patrick O'Malley. I believe that in 1845 Griffiths there were only two Patrick O'Malleys in Calla. One living right next to my William Green I believe was the father of his daughter-law Honor O'Malley-Green. I have a death date of 1871 for William Green and I believe that they were of the same Generation. late 1700's -1800's to 1870's. Though I do not have a William in Patrick O'Malley's children listing. I believe the name was common in the family so there probably was one. Anyway it probably bears further investigation. You say that there were newspaper and police reports on the incident? Would they be hard to get. They might be more informative. I have looked at the Newspapers that are available on line do not remember coming across anything on it. I read the play along time ago and it has been on my reading list because I do not really remember it. Thanks again for all your information. I think I should tell you that on January 28th 1873, Patrick Malley. of Calla was murdered by his own son, William. The police report said that he was hit over the head with a loy (turf spade.) There's a brief reference to it on _http://aoh32.org_ (http://aoh32.org<http://aoh32.org/>) The Playboy of the Western World is based on the killing of Patrick Malley of Calla. Synge probably read about it in the local press. William Malley is Christy Mahon in the play, a

Hi Teri What you need to bear in mind that the only people mentioned in Griffiths valuation are the head leaseholders. There could have been many other O'Malley family members who were not listed and  some even  even sub-letting. There was something called con-acre There are summaries of the 1841-1851 censii available which give you the total number of people living in a townland which is broken down into males and females. It also mentions the numbers of houses. I didn't know T"he Playboy of the Western World" was based on a real story.  Very interesting!

Maire Thanks for the information. If I am lucky they will have something that covers that area. I think the listed members of households went from about 15 to 20. Several different entries varied. Many of these families were interconnected and related. I know that there were other family members not mentioned. It is a very small out of the way place from my understanding. The lack of information very disconcerting at times. My Greens there were kind of odd men out as far as I can tell the family originally English, retired RIC. I think that a few of the other families may have some RIC connections. Church of ENG. The O'Malley's poor Irish Catholic fisherman farmers. I know do not have all of the Greens. Only Three children from 1st Generation- I have only about 7 of 9 from the 2nd Gen. O'Malleys I have only about 5 of their children, being Irish Catholic I am pretty sure that there were more. I am going to try and contact the priest in Ballyconneely where Brian said they would have attended church and see if they can give me some additional information. I will try to come up with the original police report on the incident. Thanks again for your information.

When you use the site I sent over you need to use other parts of it like Placename County Barony Parish Townland it helps go to place name and it pulls up all of the tenant on GV On Jan 25, 2009, at 9:17 AM, Teri Rehurek wrote: > Ballyconneely
