Kathleen, When you see a name in parenthesis, it usually means that there is more than one person of this name and (Matt) is the father to distiguish the men from one another. So a help.

This is my favorite list because of Mary Heaphy's wonderful newspaper transcriptions. In yesterday's some of the names have (Matt) or other names in parentheses after the first & last names.

Nenagh Guardian. 25th June 1894. Homicide at Curreeny. Following up the search through the mountain district of Curreeny in which the parties concerned in the late murderous affray reside, the police succeeded on Sunday morning in coming upon Ryan Matt in one of the houses in Keeper Hill. The task set before the police was no easy one, for since the day of the funeral of the old woman Ryan, patrols from all the surrounding constabulary stations, have been scouring the mountains and valleys, incessantly. Ryan was brought into Newport on Monday last and was since sent on remand to Limerick gaol. A number of others are still on the run. Follow up on the Curreeny Affray. In another column we mention that Ryan Matt has been taken into custody and transmitted to Limerick Gaol. We are in a position to announce that all the absconders have surrendered. Mr. James O'Leary, J.P., came into town, on Thursday accompanied by the whole party--Timothy Carr, Matt Ryan (Matt), Tom Ryan (Matt), Tom Ryan (Michael), Bryan Shanahan, and Michael Butler, who were on the run since the 7th inst, because of their participation in the murderous affray at Curreeny. They were all committed to Limerick Gaol, whence they were brought up at the Petty Sessions today and returned for trial to the assizes. The men are of a respectable class, and nearly all are relatives, and such an unfortunate occurrence has been the cause of widespread sorrow among their friends. The bone of contention is a small patch of ground and a hovel, situated by the roadside. There is only one small room on the ground floor, and altogether its market value would scarcely reach a ten pound note. Arrest of a supposed lunatic. At the last meeting of the Board of Governors of the Clonmel Asylum, Doctor Garner brought forward the case of a young woman who had been received into the asylum about ten days previously under what is known as the Viceregal warrant. She resided with her relatives about two miles from Templemore and it appeared that one day when going into town with her sister on business, she was arrested on a warrant, brought before two magistrates and they on a medical certificate and informations of two of her relatives, committed to the asylum as a dangerous lunatic. This appeared to the doctor to be a hard case, and certainly he could certify that the young woman was not a dangerous lunatic. Mr. Connolly said he could bear out the statement of Dr. Garner and might add that the young woman's case was the subject of general conversation in Templemore. She had a lot of money in her own right; perhaps that had something to do with her removal to the asylum. The woman was believed in Templemore to be perfectly sane. A sister of the woman appeared and stated that she did not consider her insane. The young woman in question was called up and questioned. She declared she was wrongly committed to the asylum and was desirous of going home with her sister. The alleged assault was a slap on the cheek she gave another sister of hers for what the latter said to her. She was then discharged. Born at Tombricane, Borrisokane to the wife of Mr. Patrick Cahalan, a daughter. Deaths. Died on June 18th at Nenagh, Edward Dolan, late sergeant of Ballybrophy. Died on the 14th at Carney, Borrisokane, Norah, the beloved wife of Mr. Daniel Hoctor. The deceased, who has been ailing for a considerable time, was of a most amiable disposition, a kind, good mother and an affectionate wife. She bore her tedious illness with the most Christian fortitude and have her soul to the Creator after having been fortified with the rites of our Holy Church at the age of 62 years. Died on Wednesday evening, at her residence, Silver Street, Nenagh, Mrs Mary Kirwan, widow of the late Mr. Edward Kirwan, age 72, after a protracted illness. The numerous friends and acquaintances of Miss Norah Gleeson will be glad to hear of her arrival in Nenagh from the south of France in the enjoyment of good health. This young lady is sister of Mr. Michael Gleeson, solicitor and coroner, Rev. William Gleeson, Clongowes College, Rev. John Gleeson, P.P. Kyle, and the popular athlete, sportsman, and warm-hearted comrade, Mr. Joseph Gleeson of the old Turnpike. 28th June 1875. Deaths. It is with sincere regret that we have to record the death, after a few weeks illness, of Sir William Osborne Bart, of Beechwood Park, near Nenagh. The melancholy event took place at Carlow, at the seat of his brother-in-law, Phillip Jocelyn, Newton Esq. He was the eldest son of Sir Daniel 11th Baronet and Lady Harriet La Poer Trench, daughter of the first Earl of Clancarty. He was born in 1805 and married in 1842, Maria, daughter of William Thompson, Hallywoodrath, Dublin, who survives him. He will be succeeded in the title and estates by his brother Charles. Died at the Old Turnpike, Nenagh, in the 76th year of her age, Miss Mary Cleary. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Mrs Anne Talbot, of Shannon Lodge, summoned W. Sydney, Esq., of Gortmore, for an assault by striking her with a whip on the face and body. After some explanation, Mr. Sydney apologised to Mrs Talbot, and having paid all the costs, the case was allowed to be ruled "no appearance". At Bow-Street Police Court, London, on Thursday, a young woman, giving the name of Jessie Lloyd, was fined 20/., or 14 days in prison, for dancing the "Can Can" in the Public Street. Jack Delaney, a dark fiddler from the Silvermines, 93 years of age, got married at Nenagh, on Saturday evening, to a woman twice widowed, named Gleeson, who had been at service at Mr. Ryan (Lants) at Nenagh. Coming into Nenagh by Bawn, on Saturday, the hilarious fiddler had to take shelter in one of the roadside cabins from a heavy shower of hail, when he enlivened the inmates with rasping in prime style "Haste to the Wedding". One of Delaney's great boasts is that he played at the christening of almost all of the children around the Silvermines, and at the weddings and christenings of some of their fathers and mothers. 28th June 1886. At Parsonstown Petty Sessions, a woman named Mary Guinan, aged over 60 years, brought a charge of attempted criminal assault against Mr. J.M. Drought, J.P., Five Alley, Parsonstown. The court was cleared during the investigation, to the great disappointment of the scandal mongers. The trial was a prolonged one, and terminated, we learn, in the magistrates refusing information, and discharging Mr. Drought. The prosecutor does not seem to be of sound mind. The tenants of Miss Roe, daughter of the late Archdeacon Roe, of Roscrea, met the agent, at Dobly's? hotel, Tipperary. The property is situate at Grantstown, near Golden, and the agent kindly gave a reduction of 20 per sent on the last November rent, and gave the tenants a month to pay. This includes the tenants who recently got judicial rents fixed by arbitration, as well as leaseholders on the property. Roscrea Guardians. At Roscrea Board of Guardians, it was decided to order Thomas Kennedy, of Church Street., Roscrea, to remove a heap of manure from the roadside at Chapel Lane. The Master reported that Martin Fogarty was brought before the magistrates at the Petty Sessions on Monday, and was given two months in prison for striking William Butler, another inmate of the house. On the recommendation of the Medical Officer it was agreed to send Thomas McCoy to St. Mark's Ophthalmic Hospital, Dublin for treatment. In the Chancery Division, Dublin, on Friday, June 18th, before the Vice Chancellor, Mary Jane Burriss, Templederry, Moneygall, was granted an injunction against John Hayes and others, for cutting and removing turfs from the bog at Conee Islands, Moneygall. Mr. Samuels (instructed by Mr. Mitchell and sons), appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. William J. Menton, Solicitor, Roscrea for the defendant. Died on June 20th, at the residence of her grandfather, Anthony Nolan, Esq. T.C., Castle Street, Nenagh, Mary Theresa, daughter of the late John Kennedy, Esq., in her 14th year. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Patrick Hourigan, a labouring boy from Cunnahurt, who had been arrested on Sunday for being drunk, was brought in on a charge of attempting to commit suicide in the lock up of the Nenagh Police Barrack on Sunday evening. Constable Sullivan gave evidence of detecting Hourigan in the act of attempting to hang himself, he had one of his suspenders tied around his neck and the other fastened to the bar of the window. The prisoner was asked why he attempted to hang himself and said he did not know what he was doing. The Constable said that the prisoner had been four or five hours in custody at the time. James Nolan of Cunnahurt, a farmer, said he knew the prisoner. He was a good boy and conducted himself properly. He had not shown any sign of insanity before. The Chairman told the prisoner that the offence was a very serious one, and that he could be sent for trial on it. On inquiry from the police as to the accused character, it was found that there was no previous charge against him. The ruling of the court was that the prisoner should give two sureties of £10 each, and himself £20, to be of good behaviour for the next twelve months, or be sent to prison. Keeping Old Customs. There was a large gathering at the Well at Brookwatson near this town, for the purpose of keeping up an old custom on last Sunday, a custom hitherto kept on the Sunday, a custom, St. Johns Day. The Nenagh Brass Band attended on the occasion , and played a number of nice selections. There was dancing, tug-o-war, racing and other amusements which continued to half past seven. There was no quarrelling and a dozen members of the Royal Irish Constabulary were present as spectators.

Nenagh Guardian. 22nd June 1874. I.N. Atkinson, Esq., Asheley Park, has bought Lot 1, the lands of Mohernenagh of the Rowley Estate. He paid £2700. We regret having to record a murder which was perpetrated on the immediate borders of our County on Thursday last. A man named Thomas Stapleton, herd over the last of Clashagad, for Mr. Joseph Griffith, of Castletown, was killed with a billhook, which he had been plashing and repairing the fences. We understand that the former herd had been dismissed under no very favourable circumstances by Mr. Griffith. At Shinrone Petty Sessions on Tuesday, and old man named Doucey was fined £1 and costs for keeping a Shebeen House at Barna. On Sunday next an ordination is to take place in Nenagh Church, by the Lord Bishop of Killaloe, when Mr. Edward Maun Perry, of St. Aidan's College, Birkenhead, is newly appointed curate of this Parish, will receive Deacon's Orders from the hands of the Bishop. Colonel McAdam has appointed his cousin Thomas McAdam Esq. agent for his property in Ireland. We have learned that two water bailiffs, employed on the Shannon at Castleconnell, were attacked a few nights ago, and after receiving a serious beating, were thrown into the river, but unfortunately were able to save themselves. At Newport Petty Sessions last week, there was as usual, a number of cases of trespass of hens, ducks, geese, asses, horses, pigs, and goats, etc, but in contrast there was not a single police case. On Saturday night last, a cow, the property of George Twiss, Esq., Birdhill, was injured. A portion of its tail was cut off. As well as this some of Mr. Twiss's neighbours are taking the liberty of milking his cows by night. At the South Tipp Assizes. Thomas Twohill, a postman, got three month's in prison with hard labour, for opening and destroying a registered letter. 24th June 1878. A most singular elopement took place within the past week, the parties concerned being far beyond the meridian of life. The man is 60 years of age, a retired pensioner from the American army and the woman is a respectable widow. The good lady sold off her house and agreed to go back to America with him. She left Thurles in his company on Tuesday last bound for Dublin, en route to New York. The gay lothario, who is reputed to have coveted the widow's mite rather then her sweet self, obtained possession of her purse, containing £22, and returned back to Thurles without her. The man is now in Thurles Barracks, where £19 was found concealed in his boot. He is detained in custody pending the arrival of his fair inamorota from Dublin. At Newport Petty Sessions, Patrick Carroll was prosecuted for stealing fruit out of the rectory garden. He was sentenced to a month in prison with hard labour. There were seven more youngsters concerned in the plunder, but they got away before they could be either caught or identified by Robert Russell, the gardener. Constable Toole of the Lorrha Station prosecuted a returned Irish American for refusing to quit a public house during closing hours. His name is John Mahon. He was fined £1. Sub Constable Wilson, Carrigatoher, summoned Michael Brien of the same place, for not having his dog logged. The constable said the dog was ferocious. Brien said that the dog was quiet. Fined 1/., and costs. How to wash your face. There are several wrong ways to wash your face, and one but right. Towel, flannel, and sponge are all out of place where the face is concerned. The hands should only be used. Fill a basin about half full with fresh water. Dip your face in the water and then your hands. Soap the hands well and pass the soaped hands with gentle friction over the whole face. Dip your face in the water the second time and rinse it completely. You may add very much to the luxury of the latter part of the operation by having a second basin ready with fresh water for the rinse. Ten young ladies, seven of whom Sister of Mercy and three probationers, left Ennis last Wednesday for Hokitito, New Zealand. They sailed from Plymouth on Monday. To this contingent Nenagh contributed two-Mother Mary Michteldes?, daughter of Mr. William Boland? PLG of Kilnaneave, and Sister Mary Aloysious, daughter of Mr. John F. McGrath, Solicitor, Nenagh. 25th June 1877. Mr. Francis Russell has been reappointed Inspector and Valuer under the Cattle Diseases Act at a salary of £2 a month, in the Thurles Poor Law Union District. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Mary Shaughnessy was prosecuted by the Master of the Workhouse for absconding from the Workhouse, taking with her some of the clothes. She was sentenced to two weeks in prison with hard labour.

Thomas Lanigan, whose appearance at the court, when out of gaol, is now looked on as a matter of course, was again brought up at the Templemore Petty Sessions on Wednesday, charged by Constable Martin McInerney, with having been drunk and disorderly on the public street. It was stated that he had only returned to town on Friday last after "putting up" a term of imprisonment in Nenagh Gaol for assault. Mr. Jones, R.M., said he was a hopeless case. The bench imposed a sentence of one month in prison with hard labour. Lanigan--Is that all?. I could do 45 of them without any trouble. Born at Mount Falcon, Borrisokane, to the wife of Richard H. Falkiner, Esq., a son. At Rosemount, Roscrea, to the wife of William J. Dawson, Esq., National Bank, a son. At Barrack Street, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Denis Carroll, T.C., a daughter. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Sub. Constable Treacy summoned John Hogan for being drunk. John's defence was that he was at the Fair, that he "murdered" his wife, and when he went to look for her, he couldn't find her, and then he took a drop to kill the grief. He was let off with a caution, and a promise that he would be send to gaol the next time. At an examination held recently, Mr. R. Hawtrey Lyon, LRCSI, youngest son of Rev. Thomas Lyon, Vicar of Kilbarron, obtained on first trial, the Diploma in Medicine of said College and is entitled to practice as a physician. Bridget Gleeson, aged 30 years, and in the Work House for the past 12 months, was ordered a suit of clothes, and her three children were also ordered suits. Edward Kennedy, aged 60, was ordered a trousers and shoes, and his wife and two children were ordered suits of clothes. Phil Maher of Cullohill and Margaret Bourke of Pallas, were fined 1/., each at Borrisoleigh Petty Sessions for having their cars unlettered. Died on Thursday, at Tyone, Nenagh, at an advanced age, Mrs Ryan, relic of the late Malachy Ryan, of Tyone House, generally and deservedly regretted. At Thurles Petty Sessions, John Deegan, a native of Dublin, was charged with obtaining a night's lodging at the Workhouse. He was send to Nenagh Goal for a month, on hearing which, he said he didn't care. A young man named Edward Long had a finger cut off on Sunday, through negligently meddling with the springboard of a horse wagon at the Thurles Railway Station. George Bergin was summoned at Nenagh Petty Sessions, for disobeying the orders of the Master of the Workhouse. The Master proved to the defendant refusing to assist the male nurse. He was generally a troublesome pauper. Bergin said he wanted to get his eyes cured. The Doctor said he could work. He was sentenced to a month in gaol. 16th June 1884. Robert Prince and John Butler, two young men, were taken up in Clonmel and brought before the Mayor, charged with singing seditions and blasphemous ballads through the streets of the town. They said they had sung the ballads in Carrick-on-Suir with remonstrance. The Mayor told them to leave Clonmel forthwith, to forfeit the obnoxious ballads, and to take heed not to appear again in the capacity of turbulent troubadours. M. Meara, a tenant on the Frankfort Estate, was charged with taking timber away. Mr. Bridge appeared for the defence. The wood ranger on the property proved he missed a portion on an elm tree, and suspecting Meara, got a search warrant, and found the stolen timber in Meara's possession. Patrick Toohey was examined by Sergeant Carroll, of Dunkerrin, who conducted the prosecution. He proved to having assisted to put the timber on Meara's car, he thought Meara had bought the timber. To Mr. Bridge-The tree had been taken by daylight:Meara did not try to hide the tree, others saw him take it. The sergeant gave evidence of seeing Meara with the timber on his car on May 26th. In answer to Mr. Bridge Meara said that the tree had been lying there on the roadside for 12 months. Meara was fined £1 without costs. The tree was ordered to be returned. Mrs Elizabeth Myles was summoned for trespass of cattle on Mr. Jackson's land. Mr. Bridge appeared for the complainant and Mr. Menton for the defendant. It seems the boundary had been neglected by the Landlord on both sides. The defendant was fined 1/., with 6d., costs. John Hayes of Ballinakill was let off with a fine of £1 or 14 days in prison, for stabbing his son Adam. This case was before the Court, two weeks ago. At Killarney Petty Sessions, yesterday, Patrick and Mary Sullivan, owners of a considerable amount of house property were committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter of their infant child, whom, it is alleged, they starved to death. On 2 o'clock on Saturday night three shots were fired into the house of William Dwyer, Bonleen, near Bansha. Two shots were fired through the kitchen window, and a third through the bedroom window. Mr. Dwyer, after the first shots, looked through the bedroom window, and saw two men in the yard, one of whom he knew, and whom against he has sworn information. Dwyer's next door neighbour, William Doherty, was on Sunday arrested and brought before Mr. Meldon, R.M., and identified by Dwyer. For a long time past a bad feeling, it is stated, existed between Dwyer and Doherty because of a disputed right of passage. Mr. John Ralph, of Carney, made his annual application to the Borrisokane Board of Guardians, asking to have a small well sunk in his garden at Carney. A committee of two guardians were sent there two years ago to select a site, and report to the Board. This committee did not agree with Mr. Ralph as regards the most suitable site, and he now denounces them in all the moods and tenses, and asks to have local gentlemen, who knows what to do, appointed to select a site. He further complains of the one sided partiality of the Board giving water to the Catholic Schools at Kilbarron and Carney, and leaving the Protestant school unsupplied. 17th June 1878. The death has taken place at Dublin, in the 62nd year of his age of Mr. Ryland Byron, who has been connected with the Irish Valuation Office for many years. Mr. Byron was a native of Nenagh, and nephew to Mr. Francis Byron. The Irish Workhouses were built to accommodate no less than 147,221 paupers. >From a parliamentary return on this subject, we learn that they only contained 43,621 inmates during 1877. The system of Economy which maintains nearly four times the required space is as extraordinary as it is questionable. Mr. Phillip Slattery, of Nenagh, fell from the front window of his residence in Barrack Street, last night. He suffered a severe concussion of the brain. His recovery is doubtful. A young man, aged 26, was sentenced to 5 years penal servitude at the Tipperary (South Riding) Assizes, for manslaughter, arising out of the late Mohobber Faction Fight. On the 30th May a large number of people collected in the Public House of a woman named Byron in Mohobber. Dancing was going on and the deceased called on the fiddler for a "Shanavest Jig". Before the evening was over another man called for a "Caravat Jig". A girl named Eliza Harrington stated that when the Caravat Jig was played, someone kicked the drum on which Thomas Croke was beating time. Lord Justice Deasy said that it was a lamentable thing that in this age on a fine Summer's evening when a number of people met on the roadside, the deceased and the other young man, both in the prime of life, should have their lives sacrificed, in a causeless, foolhardy strife, of the wretched faction of the "Caravets" and "Shanavests". He had thought such factions had died away and were forgotten, but it seems that members were as anxious to slay each other as they were years ago. _______________________________________________________ Griffith's Valuation: http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Geraldine, if you go into the 'Irish in Uniform' web site, you will find some information on the Irish Regiments. Its possible that your grandfather was a member of the Leinster Regiment. The main depot of the Leinster Regiment was Crinkle Barracks Birr. The Leinster Regiment also spent time in Tipperary Town. He also might have in the Connaught Rangers. They also spent some time in Tiperary Town.

I came across this from a book called "The soul of Ireland". It is the vocation of a nun to save souls, and as soon as her training ends she begins her life work. But at times their work attracts notice, and the world focuses its limelight upon them and is astonished. On the battle fronts they work in Hospitals, succouring the wounded and comforting the dying. The world rings with praises of their heroism, and has gazed wonderingly while many have been decorated for exceptional bravery. Look at the act of a Tipperary nun in the Franco-Prussian War. While tending the wounded, she saw a large bomb fall where several were lying. She rushed across, placed the smoking bomb in her apron, and carried it a safe distance. Then she threw it from her, and cast herself face down upon the ground. In a few seconds the bomb exploded with terrific force, but she marvellously escaped injury. The whole army rang with praises of her bravery. The Commander-in-Chief ordered a parade, sent for the nun, and, after warmly eulogizing her, pinned to her black habit the cross of the Legion of Honour. She stood with downcast eyes while the cheers of the saluting soldiers filled the air. Then she turned to the General, and in all simplicity and humility asked "Are you done with me, now, General? for I must go to nurse my poor wounded soldiers who are waiting for me. During the American Civil War, Irish nuns tended the wounds of both armies. Sister Anthony, a Limerick nun, is famous still as "The Ministering Angel of the Army of Tennessee". A great hospital built in her honour stands in an American City today. A shy Irish nun headed the band of sisters who nursed our soldiers at the Crimea. They shrank not from duty that meant death, and many were laid to rest in white-crossed graves on the hill-side of Balaclava. So nobly did they acquit themselves, that on the return of the troops to Southampton the Commanding Officer ordered them to march by his side at the head of the regiments, and share in the welcome given by the Nation.

Mrs Elizabeth Myles was summoned for trespass of cattle on Mr. Jackson's land. Mr. Bridge appeared for the complainant and Mr. Menton for the defendant. It seems the boundary had been neglected by the Landlord on both sides. The defendant was fined 1/., with 6d., costs. John Hayes of Ballinakill was let off with a fine of £1 or 14 days in prison, for stabbing his son Adam. This case was before the Court, two weeks ago. At Killarney Petty Sessions, yesterday, Patrick and Mary Sullivan, owners of a considerable amount of house property were committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter of their infant child, whom, it is alleged, they starved to death. On 2 o'clock on Saturday night three shots were fired into the house of William Dwyer, Bonleen, near Bansha. Two shots were fired through the kitchen window, and a third through the bedroom window. Mr. Dwyer, after the first shots, looked through the bedroom window, and saw two men in the yard, one of whom he knew, and whom against he has sworn information. Dwyer's next door neighbour, William Doherty, was on Sunday arrested and brought before Mr. Meldon, R.M., and identified by Dwyer. For a long time past a bad feeling, it is stated, existed between Dwyer and Doherty because of a disputed right of passage. Mr. John Ralph, of Carney, made his annual application to the Borrisokane Board of Guardians, asking to have a small well sunk in his garden at Carney. A committee of two guardians were sent there two years ago to select a site, and report to the Board. This committee did not agree with Mr. Ralph as regards the most suitable site, and he now denounces them in all the moods and tenses, and asks to have local gentlemen, who knows what to do, appointed to select a site. He further complains of the one sided partiality of the Board giving water to the Catholic Schools at Kilbarron and Carney, and leaving the Protestant school unsupplied. 17th June 1878. The death has taken place at Dublin, in the 62nd year of his age of Mr. Ryland Byron, who has been connected with the Irish Valuation Office for many years. Mr. Byron was a native of Nenagh, and nephew to Mr. Francis Byron. The Irish Workhouses were built to accommodate no less than 147,221 paupers. From a parliamentary return on this subject, we learn that they only contained 43,621 inmates during 1877. The system of Economy which maintains nearly four times the required space is as extraordinary as it is questionable. Mr. Phillip Slattery, of Nenagh, fell from the front window of his residence in Barrack Street, last night. He suffered a severe concussion of the brain. His recovery is doubtful. A young man, aged 26, was sentenced to 5 years penal servitude at the Tipperary (South Riding) Assizes, for manslaughter, arising out of the late Mohobber Faction Fight. On the 30th May a large number of people collected in the Public House of a woman named Byron in Mohobber. Dancing was going on and the deceased called on the fiddler for a "Shanavest Jig". Before the evening was over another man called for a "Caravat Jig". A girl named Eliza Harrington stated that when the Caravat Jig was played, someone kicked the drum on which Thomas Croke was beating time. Lord Justice Deasy said that it was a lamentable thing that in this age on a fine Summer's evening when a number of people met on the roadside, the deceased and the other young man, both in the prime of life, should have their lives sacrificed, in a causeless, foolhardy strife, of the wretched faction of the "Caravets" and "Shanavests". He had thought such factions had died away and were forgotten, but it seems that members were as anxious to slay each other as they were years ago.

I am looking for the location of the above barracks and also any information in relation to it. My grandfather got his pension in 1897 and he married a Tipperary girl, Bridget????? in Birr in Nov. 1897, so I am surmising that he met her while in the army and later married her. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Geraldine

11-11-1865. From the Clonmel Chronicle. Good Luck-A poor farmer, named Condon, residing near Ballyporeen, and paying about £15 a year rent, has just come in for an unexpected fortune. His aunt who was some four and thirty years ago the proprietress of the Spread Eagle Tavern, in Main Street, Clonmel, died recently in Australia, and left to Condon a sum of £3500 and a property realising £400 a year. 18-5-1850 From the Tipperary Vindicator. No less than 36 families, comprising upwards of 336 individuals, were evicted on 6th inst., by the under sheriff of the county, on the estate of Mr. Henry (encumbered), in the Parish of Bellina? and Boher, Barony of Owney and Arra, County of Tipperary. A scene so utterly appalling has been seldom witnessed even in a county proverbial for the exercise of the depopulating system. The misery and desolation to which these poor people have been thus subjected may be imagined--it cannot be described. The Nenagh Union, which has been so deeply suffering from the wholesale clearances at Toomevara, and the evictions in several other parts of the Union, has had, in this instance, an augmentation to its misery which must tell with fearful effect on the struggling ratepayers of this union, already hardly able to bear up against the burdens that oppress them. Thus, in this case, there are no less than 336 human beings cast out on the world--thirty five houses were levelled to the ground, of which nothing now remains but the black chimneys and the wrecks of roof trees, startling monuments of the progress of that desolation which is bringing the country to ruin. 14-6-1886 From the Nenagh Guardian. At Nenagh Quarter Sessions, Daniel Dunne, of Nenagh, was charged on two indictments, with obtaining money at the fair of Borrisokane on April 24th, by getting 6d toll from John Gleeson and 4d from John Coughlan. The Grand Jury having found a true bill, Dunne was called to plead to the charges. Mr. Nolan, Solicitor, who appeared for Dunne, said he Dunne, pleaded guilty. The money was obtained without any evil intent, merely as a lark. He asked, in the circumstances to have the prisoner dealt with leniently. Mr. Boyd, S.C.S., said the transaction was a sort of rise on Dunne's part as Mr. Nolan suggested, and he would be dealt with leniently, he should give security to come up for judgement on getting due notice to that effect. Mr. Nolan said Dunne could give himself in £10, and two sureties of £5. At Moneygall Sessions, Sergeant Riordan had Patrick Donnelly, of Irishtown, summoned for assaulting William Downes in Dunkerrin graveyard, on May 24th, at the burying of Donnelly's sister, by striking him in the mouth and cutting him. Downes swore he was knocked down, but could not tell who hit him. Sergeant Riordan had a second charge against Donnelly for striking Michael Bowen with a stone on the road to Frankfort. Donnelly denied the charge, but Constable Carroll corroborated the Sergeant, and Donnelly was bound to the peace for 6 months, himself in £5, and two sureties of £2.10.0. Each. At Moneygall Sessions, Mr. Arthur Burriss, of Ballintemple, had Darby Toohey of Annameadle summoned for stealing turf at Ballintemple on May 19th. Darby's defence was that he had only took a few wet sods, as he came to take a bank from Mr. Burriss. Mr. Grench, D.L., Magistrate, told him he was liable to be fined £5, but as Mr. Burriss did not press the case, and the value of the turf was only 6d, he would be let of with a fine of 5/., 1/6 compensation to Mr. Burriss and 2/., costs. At Roscrea Board of Guardians there was a communication from the Local Government Board, in reply to the minutes of the last meeting of the Guardians, stating that the cost incurred in sending the boy, John Walsh, to Paris, for the treatment of Hydrophobia, must be borne by the division to which he is legally charged. It was proposed by Mr. Bridge, seconded by Mr. Griffith, and unanimously passed "that the marked thanks of the Board be conveyed by the Clerk to Monsieur Pasteur, of Paris, for his kind and humane treatment of the boy Walsh, who was send by the Guardians for treatment for hydrophobia." It was also resolved that "the marked thanks of the Board be conveyed to Dr. C.W. Reilly, Roscrea, for the extremely satisfactory manner in which he took charge of the boy on his journey to Paris and return therefrom, and during his stay there, and the Clerk, to be directed to send a copy to Dr. Reilly. At Nenagh sessions there was a large number of cases at the suit of the police for drunkenness, unlicensed dogs, trespass on the public road by cattle, in which small fines were ruled with costs. Constable Dan Ryan summoned Betty McInerney and Patrick Carroll, the former for striking the latter with a gallon can, and Carroll for kicking her when down. Betty's defence was that Carroll was tussling with her son, and that she gave him a blow of an old gallon she had in her hand. Carroll said he was drunk at the time and was sorry for what he did. He has since taken the pledge. Bankrupt. Richard C. Jackson, farmer, Rathcahill, Shinrone, to appear on Tuesday, 18th June and Tuesday 29th June. Married in Thurles on June 2nd, Jeremiah Coffey, Great Southern and Western Railway, to Agnes Mary, sixth daughter of the late William Ryton, J.P. Clerical Intimidation. Some time ago, Mr. James Esmonde, D.L. Drominagh, Borrisokane, who owns a property at Rathcumber, near Edenderry, evicted a tenant named Hyland. He went there recently to have the farm tilled, and on Sunday he went to Mass in Edenderry Chapel. He took his seat in the Gallery where the Rev. J. Connolly, RCC who was officiating, spying the obnoxious Landlord, ordered him to take a lower seat. Mr. Esmonde complied, and removed to a pew owned by Mr. Robinson, but was not long there when an intimation to get out was conveyed, and he was forced to take his place among the humbler members of the congregation. Not satisfied with this humiliation, the Reverend "Preacher of the Peace" went outside the Chapel afterwards, and seeing Mr. Esmonde's carriage in charge of a servant, ordered him to liberate the horse, but he declined. Mr. Connolly grew irate, and told him that if he refused to do so he would feel the consequences. The order had no effect, and Mr. Esmonde was able to drive home. Mr. Esmonde laid the facts before the Bishop of the Diocese, and we understand that His Lordship, with a promptitude not always extended to those outside the pale of the faithful, administered such a rebuke to his zealous curate as will probably cool his ardour for some time.

Thanks Mary for these windows into our ancestors lives. The indomitable spirit of the Tipperary folk never cease to amaze me. Given that the police seem to have been kept very busy arresting people for often very llittle. And being caught inebriated was quite costly back then.

2nd Sept. 1878. At Thurles Petty Sessions held last Saturday Philip Brett summoned Daniel Maher for burying his sister-in-law in complainant's grave. Mr. Pennefather was for complainant and Mr. Coppinger for defendant. Britt swore positively to the offence. Judy Cormack being called as witness for the defence, pretended to be deaf. She appeared to be between 70 and 80 years of age. She refused to take the cloak of her head. She was quite positive in all she swore, and kept the court amused for a considerable time with her replies to Mr. Pennefather. The case was adjourned for a week. At the Thurles Petty sessions, Anne Carroll summoned James Carty and his wife Maria, for assault, and with using threatening and abusive language. Both parties live in the same house in Thurles. When Anne, as she swore, was washing her skillet a few mornings ago, James Carty charged her with dirtying the yard which he was after cleaning, and attacked her, she described, her case as being a very bad one, she got scandal and everything from the Carty's that was bad. She went out to the yard with the tongs in her right fist, and her left fist in front of her nose, to guard it from being smashed. Maria Carty knocked her down, and James said "don't mark her but baptize her", where on Maria got a can of water and threw it on her. Biddy Purcell, a girl about 16 years of age was called to prove the case. She said the fault was all Anne Carroll's. The case was dismissed. At the Killaloe Petty Sessions yesterday (William Spaight, Esq., in the chair), a poacher named Charles Callaghan was prosecuted by the police, being found on the public road near Ballina with game and having possession of instruments for trapping game. He was found coming at the time from the direction of the land in which game was preserved. He was fined 21/., and costs, or, in default of payment, a month in prison with hard labour. Callaghan was also charged by Constable John Sheridan of the Ballina Station, with assaulting him in the discharge of his duty, while arresting him with the game in his possession. For this he was sentenced to six weeks in prison, with had labour. The defendant reached Nenagh this forenoon to pay the penalty of his poaching by ten weeks punishment. There will be brought up for trial at Nenagh Petty Sessions on Saturday, Michael Carberry, for assaulting a fellow workman, named Pat Magennis on Sunday evening in the bake-house, where both were employed. Carberry gave Magennis two stabs of a pocket knife over the right eye. Married on August 22nd, at Roscrea Church, Richard Stanley, youngest son of the late Robert Stanley, Monamondra, Queen's County to Elizabeth Anne, eldest daughter of the late Robert Jackson, Valley Mills, Roscrea, County Tipperary. Died on August 26th, at Bachelor's walk, Nenagh, in the 65th year of his age, Donal Hogan, Pump sinker. 12th June 1876. Rev. Freeman Gason has been appointed Protestant Chaplain of the Borrisokane Workhouse. We regret to announce the unexpected death of Dr. John Kittson, of this town, and physician to the Nenagh Gaol, which took place this morning at the residence of his father, Francis Kittson, Esq., 31 Wellington Row. Dublin. Dr. Kittson had been suffering from an affection of the throat for some time back, and left for Dublin a few days ago for medical advice. He was in his 27th year. Sub. Constable Eliot had James Donovan and Margaret Meara summoned at Nenagh Petty Sessions today for selling liquor ten minutes after the time allowed. Mr. McGrath appeared for the defence and said it was all a difference of time with regard to the chronometer at Toomevara and Greenwich time. Fined 10/., and costs. Athletic sports took place at Annfield on Thursday under the patronage of William Hanly, Esq., Cottage, Borrisoleigh, who courteously admitted the public to his father's fields to enjoy themselves. Sub. Inspector McArdle, of Thurles, and a number of the Constabulary were there to keep the peace. There was also a great many well dressed females there. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Sub Inspector Reeves summoned Michael Fogarty of Knigh, for having a gun in a proclaimed district, without a licence. He was retained in the Court for an hour, to satisfy the minimum sentence of imprisonment. The gun was forfeited. At Newport Petty Sessions, John Broderick, a tramp from County Limerick, was sentenced to one month in prison, with hard labour, for throwing a stone at William Ryan, Esq., J.P., because he refused to give him money. Thomas Maher, a shoemaker on tramp from the County Clare, was sentenced to a fortnight in prison with hard labour, for spitting in Constable Gaffney's face. The Poor Law Guardians of Thurles summoned Philip Cahill, of Loughmore, for allowing five animals to graze in the graveyard at Loughmore. Mr. Walsh, Master of the Workhouse, proved the case. He was fined 5/., with costs of 11/6. Mr. Pennefather appeared for the Guardians. 14th June 1880. Even with the sailing of the Anchor steamship Castalia from Dublin direct to New York, the weeks just closed has not been any means the largest of the season in the matter of emigration from Dublin. The weeks total will tot up to about 710 persons, of whom rather more than half were females, of ages averaging from 16 to 25, while the men in nearly every instance are young and active. One peculiarity of the departures this year must be the absence of men and women who might be regarded as past their period of labour. The counties supplying the emigrants being principally Mayo, Leitrim, Galway, Sligo and Longford, with small contingents from Tipperary, Wexford, Meath, Westmeath, Dublin and Kildare. Between one and two o'clock yesterday morning the house of Thomas Reynolds, of Moneygall, was found on fire, and only for the early discovery and the assistance of the neighbours the house would be burned over Reynold's head and the three adjoining houses would have shared the same fate, the thatch being so dry. The roof of the Dublin train which reached Nenagh at 5'30 on Thursday evening, was coated with snow, (this is June) which had fallen during a portion of the journey from Roscrea. On Thursday night, a woman named Margaret Scarlett, wife of a soldier, but, better known by her maiden name of Britt, a servant of Mr. Dowd, of Brosna Mills House, was found lying on her face and hands in her bedroom about 11 o'clock. Mr. Dowd, on seeing that his premises were secure before retiring, heard moans from the woman's bedroom, and on sending his daughter to ascertain the cause, found the poor creature lying on the floor, apparently in a fit of swoon. Medical assistance was at once send for but none was available until 12 o'clock the next day, owing to some misconception as to the law requiring attendances on domestic servants under the Medical Charities Act. The woman died about that time, and the facts having been communicated to John Corcoran, Esq., Coroner of the King's County, an inquest was held, when after the examination of witnesses, a verdict was returned that Margaret Scarlett died of apoplexy, supervening upon epilepsy. Dr. J.L. Somers was the medical witness. At Borrisokane Board of Guardians, Nurse Kennedy, having made applications to have her salary increased by £5, was ordered to read Rule 24, the stumbling block to such application. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, a publican, living in Pound Street, lodged information against two men for assaulting him at his own house, dragging him out on the street and beating him, and also for an attack made on his house on the night of the 28th May. They threatened his life and said they would do for him. Mr. Reaves, Sub-Inspector, said that part of Pound Street, was in a most disorderly and turbulent state. The chairman said the upper part of Pound Street was a plaque spot in the town. The complainant said he did not seek to have the men punished, all he asked was to be allowed to live in quietness. The Chairman said they would be let off with 14 days in prison, with hard labour.

During this period winters were much colder. In large towns like Nenagh if a street or a road had a large slope or incline, children and sometimes adults would pour buckets of water over it. This would freeze rapidly, creating a slide. This provided many hours of fun for children and adults. It was frowned apon by the Police and local authorities.

On Saturday morning, a threatening letter was received by Thos. Rice Henn, Esq., QC, Paradise, signed "A Tipperary Boy" informing him that "the justice of revenge will be executed on him, whether at home or elsewhere, no matter how remote his residence might be." A party of police proceeded to the house of Pat Mulconry, at Shanakea, and arrested on suspicion a man named John Behan. At Newport Petty Sessions, Dan Carroll and Pat Train (no relation to the irrepressible George) were fined 2/6 each, for sliding on the streets. The Guardians of the Poor of the Ballinasloe Union, have decided to refuse to give the paupers the usual extras for dinner this Christmas. Thomas Kennedy of Lahid, near Nenagh died from the effect of a fall from his horse, on his return from Nenagh last Thursday night. Births. At summer hill, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Loughrey, a son. At the Imperial Hotel, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Maurice Synan, proprietor, a daughter. At Collegehill, Templemore, to Mrs O'Meara, a son. Late on Thursday evening, four thatched outhouses at the rere of Mr. John Moylan's dwelling, Barrack Street, Nenagh, were burned to the ground. Four horses and a large quantity of poultry perished. A young chap, named Hayes, from Silver Street, saved one horse and a jennet. Fortunately the fire took place near a stream, so that water was easily had. The damage was estimated at £150. First Class Sub-Inspector Reamsbottom, stationed at Athlone, has got a month's leave of absence. At present he is on a visit with H.H. Poe, Esq. J.P. Solsboro, Nenagh. At Thurles, on Sunday night, an old man named Owen Landers, whilst in conversation with Ryan, the night watchman, received a stroke of a stone on the ear, which almost severed it. It is supposed the stone was meant for Ryan. The many friends of Major Gason. J.P. the esteemed and popular gentleman, will be glad to learn that he is so far convalescent as to be able to sit up for an hour yesterday, and two hours this afternoon.

At Thurles Board of Guardians, Dr. Quinlan, Borrisoleigh, reported some cases of nuisances in his district. In consequence of Dr. Quinlan's report being illegible, a Guardian suggested Dr. Quinlan be sent for, so that he might read it out himself for them. We are gratified to find that Mr. Thomas O'Meara's son, of Lisduff, Moneygall, distinguished himself at the recent examination for the qualification to be admitted an attorney. He was awarded the silver medal. 27th Nov. 1876. A large blue book has been published, showing the owners of land in Ireland. >From this work, we extract the following landowners in North Tipperary.

I have been told (thanks Mary Heaphy) that the National Library has been putting digitised old photos online. See http://213.94.210.45/cdm4/index_glassplates.php?CISOROOT=/glassplates I noticed for example that when I searched under "Clonmel" some Heffernan family wedding photos came up. They may be of interest to some of you Heffernan listers! Even if you don't find photos specific to your family, the photos of the places at that time/era are really interesting. There are copyright provisions around publication or reproduction of the photos, but it is possible to order prints. You can also download & save the online image which is not high resolution, but good enough for personal family use. Wendy in Western Australia

Mary What is "sliding in the street" Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Heaphy" <[email protected]> To: "Tipperary, Irl" <[email protected]>; "Tipperary, Co" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, July 04, 2009 7:56 AM Subject: [IRL-TIP] From the Nenagh Guardian. >From the Nenagh Guardian. 16th Nov. 1874. On Saturday morning, a threatening letter was received by Thos. Rice Henn, Esq., QC, Paradise, signed "A Tipperary Boy" informing him that "the justice of revenge will be executed on him, whether at home or elsewhere, no matter how remote his residence might be." A party of police proceeded to the house of Pat Mulconry, at Shanakea, and arrested on suspicion a man named John Behan. At Newport Petty Sessions, Dan Carroll and Pat Train (no relation to the irrepressible George) were fined 2/6 each, for sliding on the streets. The Guardians of the Poor of the Ballinasloe Union, have decided to refuse to give the paupers the usual extras for dinner this Christmas. Thomas Kennedy of Lahid, near Nenagh died from the effect of a fall from his horse, on his return from Nenagh last Thursday night. Births. At summer hill, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Loughrey, a son. At the Imperial Hotel, Nenagh, to the wife of Mr. Maurice Synan, proprietor, a daughter. At Collegehill, Templemore, to Mrs O'Meara, a son. Late on Thursday evening, four thatched outhouses at the rere of Mr. John Moylan's dwelling, Barrack Street, Nenagh, were burned to the ground. Four horses and a large quantity of poultry perished. A young chap, named Hayes, from Silver Street, saved one horse and a jennet. Fortunately the fire took place near a stream, so that water was easily had. The damage was estimated at £150. First Class Sub-Inspector Reamsbottom, stationed at Athlone, has got a month's leave of absence. At present he is on a visit with H.H. Poe, Esq. J.P. Solsboro, Nenagh. At Thurles, on Sunday night, an old man named Owen Landers, whilst in conversation with Ryan, the night watchman, received a stroke of a stone on the ear, which almost severed it. It is supposed the stone was meant for Ryan. The many friends of Major Gason. J.P. the esteemed and popular gentleman, will be glad to learn that he is so far convalescent as to be able to sit up for an hour yesterday, and two hours this afternoon. An inmate of the Thurles Workhouse named Mary Neill, was charged at Thurles Petty Sessions with drunkenness and insubordination, also with using abusive language. Mr. Walsh (Master) said that he gave her a pass to go out. She did not return until evening, when she had to be carried in by the porter and carpenter, who found her lying on the road, helplessly drunk. She then abused the witness and called him several improper names. John Gorman, the carpenter, corroborated the above evidence. Prisoner admitted using the expressions complained of and said he deserved it. She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. At Thurles Board of Guardians, Dr. Quinlan, Borrisoleigh, reported some cases of nuisances in his district. In consequence of Dr. Quinlan's report being illegible, a Guardian suggested Dr. Quinlan be sent for, so that he might read it out himself for them. We are gratified to find that Mr. Thomas O'Meara's son, of Lisduff, Moneygall, distinguished himself at the recent examination for the qualification to be admitted an attorney. He was awarded the silver medal. 27th Nov. 1876. A large blue book has been published, showing the owners of land in Ireland. >From this work, we extract the following landowners in North Tipperary.
