From the Tithes 1826: There was an Elizabeth Gardiner listed in the townlands of Borris and again an Elizabeth in Derrin in the Civil parish of Aughaboe (Aghaboe/Aghavoe) and then a Richard Gardiner Gorthaclea also in the parish of Aughaboe. The Thomas Gardiner in Derrin, Aghaboe given you by Michael Brennan in his mail is probably her son. Michael also mentions a Joseph in Rathsaran, he could be another son easily because Rathsaran is only a few miles away from Aghaboe. Then again - he might not have been!! There is a John Gardiner or his reps with an address in Borris in Ossory mentioned in a book on landowners in 1870. Also I have the following from Skeirk Graveyard: Johnston: Erected by/her loving mother/in memory of her daughter/Louise Johnston/who died Nov 1891/aged 15 years/Grandchild of late /J.
