I found the reference I have about Lord Ventry which appeared in The London Times January 06, 1849 & my notes say that it was taken from the Limerick Chronicles, a "black list" of evictions in Kerry. "From the lands of Cahirtrant, the property of Lord Ventry and in a parish whence that nobleman's title is derived, 36 families, comprehending 188 souls, have been expelled.? From the lands of Dunshean, the property of Lord Ventry, 24 families, including 113 individuals, have been exterminated.? From the same townland, ?belonging to the same nobleman, 7 families of con-acres, comprehending 37 persons, have been driven forth.? From Cahirquin, the property of Lord Ventry, 11 families numbering 49 humans, have been thrust out by the process of law.? From Clountys, in the parish of Dunurlin, the property of Lord Ventry, 10 families, numbering 40 humans, have been deprived of house or holding.? From the townland of Capagh, in the parish of Clahane, nor far from the shores of Brandon, and belonging, too. Lord Ventry, 19 families, comprising 97 Christian beings, have been ejected by a posse of bailiffs acting under the power of English Law.? Total evictions, from Lord Ventry's prop! erty near Dingle, 170 families, 532 souls." My Cavanagh(Kevane), Manning, Hannifin, and Moore families were among these "souls".? In Griffith's Valuation for the townland of Farranlateeve (1852 or so) showed that their land was occupied by a "Miss Shute of Lord Ventry". If any one has any other?information about Lord Ventry, I am very interested. Thank you very much.

It always amazes me, though how rarely people check out the Kerry Web Page where people have contributed wonderful things about Kerry history. There is more on the Great Famine in Dingle at this site contributed by Margaret Walsh: http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/famine.html Mary Ann Schloegel contributed an article dated 1887 entitled "The Irish Question The Truth About Glenbeigh:" http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlker/glenevict.html A google search gives 27 more articles about those later evictions: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22glenbeigh+evictions%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf -8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
