    1. [IRL-LIMERICK] Buckley family of Knockbrack
    2. Paddy Buckley
    3. My great grandfather was Jeremiah Buckley who died in Moyvane Co Kerry on 23 October 1885 age 59. I've always regarded him as a Kerryman, but recent research suggests that he may have originated just across the border in Co Limerick from the townland of Knockbrack in the parish of Abbeyfeale (or perhaps Rathronan?). Certainly the Tithe Applotment for Knockbrack shows a Darby Buckley paying a tithe of 15s 2d. Griffith's Valuation shows Jeremiah Buckley, Michael Buckley & Timothy Scanlon sharing a couple of plots amounting to about 65 acres. I believe Darby and Jeremiah are the same name. A Jeremiah Buckley aged 62 was enumerated at Knockbrack in the 1911 Census. I believe he lived near a place called Buckley's Cross. I believe this was the same Jeremiah who married Catherine Buckley from Kilbaha at Moyvane on 26 March 1875. Is there anyone on this list researching this family? John Buckley
