>From the Nenagh Guardian. 17th Sept. 1894. A young constable of the Royal Irish Constabulary, named Darcy, has just died in Madame Steven's Hospital, Dublin. He was a native of Borrisokane. While a Roscrea merchant was at Thurles on Friday, and his wife otherwise engaged in town, their daughter eloped with a young man who is well known there. Great was the consternation on all sides when the truth became known. It is expected that more will presently be heard of the matter, as elaborate plans are in operation to recapture the fugitive lovers. It is alleged that the young lady took away some money with her. On Thursday, a pony attached to a trap belonging to Captain Roe, Riverstown, which was being driven towards Yewston, became restive when passing the Provincial Bank, in Peter Street, and plunged violently. The occupants of the trap were Mrs De W. Waller and the Misses Poe. The ladies lost all control of the animal, and Mrs Waller and Miss Poe were dashed to the ground, while the third lady retained her place in the trap until the pony reached Cudville, where it was brought to a stand. Notwithstanding the furious rate at which the animal sped along, young Miss Poe, acted with great coolness and courage. Beyond the breaking of a few straps and a slight scratch on the pony, there was no damage. The ladies escaped with a few bruises. On a day last week Mr.Kennedy, Gurteen, visited Roscrea for the purpose of buying some ponies that were on sale there. He drew a sum of £35 out of the bank, and after paying £5 for the pony he purchases he is alleged to have gone into a yard, and whether he fell asleep or not he either lost all the money except £4 or £5, or it was stolen from him. A young fellow named Deverix has been arrested in connection with the matter. The missing money it appears, has not been found. The case, if completed in the meantime, will be up before the magistrate's at the next Petty Sessions. Died on the 6th inst, at Summerhill, Nenagh, Bridget, the infant child of Dr. Wm. Courtney. 23rd June 1873. A few days ago, while some men were making excavations in the yard at the rere of Golden Grove House, Roscrea, the residence of W.P.Vaughan, Esq., they found a human skeleton in a lying position. Several others have been found in that locality from time to time. It is supposed that the Dane's family made a raid on the town of Roscrea, and that the weaver's apprentices who lived in Bunker's Hill, turned them out and fought from Golden Grove to Leap Castle, and that the bodies that have been discovered, were those who were slain on the occasion. A letter was handed into Nenagh Board of Guardians last week by Tom Shanahan claiming outdoor relief. The application was supported by the signatures of 7 ratepayers, among them the PP of Templederry. The application was refused on the grounds that the Guardian of the Union. Mr. J.D. O'Ryan, objected. Mr.Ardill pressed the matter and the Relieving Officer will be ordered to investigate. Head Constable James McLoughlin summoned Martin Bourke of Ballinkeneally, Ballinahinch for keeping a ferocious dog at large, which bit a man named Dan Ryan. Ryan who is a post boy of letter carrier, said that the dog jumped at him and bit him. The case was tried at Newport Petty Sessions before Wyndham Gabbett, Esq. The defendant said that he would not give his bloodhound for £100. Neither did he mean to kill him or allow him to be killed. Head Constable-If he attacks someone, what will be the consequence?. Defendant-Let them all keep out of the way. The case was adjourned. At Nenagh Petty Sessions, Mary McKeon was sent to jail for a month, as a street beggar and a public nuisance, abusing everybody who refused her money. She was on the outdoor relief list. An aged and broken down schoolmaster, formerly of Templederry, was brought up at Nenagh on a charge of stealing an umbrella. Dr Quinn deposed that he was of weak mind. He was sentenced to a week in prison. Died at the residence of her brother-in-law, James Roche, Esq., Norwood House, Nenagh, Miss Hearne formerly of Clonmel, very much regretted by all who knew her. Died at Portroe, of fever, Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. Michael O'Brien. Died in New York City, Martin Cahill, a native of Roscrea, Co. Tipperary in his 43rd year. 23rd June 1879. Six persons were charged at the Petty Sessions of Fethard on Monday, with riotous conduct in breaking the windows of houses where a woman named Mills, wife of a soldier of the 3rd Dragoon Guards lodged. She had expressed a desire to become a protestant, and had entered protestant worship. The Parish Priest, however called on her, and told her such conduct might produce unpleasantness. She is now safely in the Military Barracks. The parties pleaded guilty and expressed regret, and the case was postponed until next court day to see if there would be a repetition of such conduct. Constable Gallagher and party made a raid on some suspected Public Houses in Nenagh on last Sunday. They searched five licensed premises, in only two of which was there any necessity of issuing summonses for Petty Sessions for next Saturday. In one of the houses, which is in Silver Street, they found two men belonging to John's Lane enjoying themselves as unconcernedly as if Sunday Closing Act had been repealed: In the other house in Pound Street, people were heard inside, but before the police got admission, they, it is alleged, made their escape by the rear. A man from Ballycommon, named Michael Molamphy was picked up in the Street in a state of drunkenness. On Monday, the son of an itinerant tinker had a narrow escape of being drowned in the Newport River. He owes his life to a young chap, who had been fishing, sticking a gaff in his clothes and landing him. The patient is progressing favourably. 26th June 1876. John Stapleton, when coming home from the North Tipperary Assizes with a load of Road Monkey, got drunk, and drove a horse and car furiously along the road to the danger of passengers. He was fined £2 and costs at Borrisoleigh Petty Sessions. Died at the Cottage, Roscrea, Miss Jane Bridge. Died at Dublin Road, Nenagh, after a long illness, Mr. James Wilkinson, aged 47 years. At Nenagh Petty Sessions today, there were six inebriate cases whose fines were either 5/- or 10/-. Some of the defences set up were rather amusing. A woman gave as an excuse that she took a drop extra on the strength of the boys coming home from the militia. Edward Cummins of Ballyhane, said it was to much water he drank and it made him sick. Patrick Gleeson from the Silvermines was for the 150 time brought up. He said he couldn't stop drinking thought he tried to do so by taking the pledge for a couple days. He was let off with a fine of 6d., with costs and a promise of jail on the 152nd charge.

I have found the Harmon name in Ohio, Oklahoma & Arkansas but not of Irish ancestry. One lady I contacted over 20 years ago assured me that anyone with the surname Harmon from the above areas more than likely arrived in the US in the 17thC. My father's cousin Marianne McDonald married Sam Harmon in Arkansas between 1920 & 1930. On the 1930 census Sam was born in Oklahoma.Marianne's parents came from County Meath & married in Arkansas about 1890, Marianne & her brother John Joseph were born in Arkansas. Maggie Heffernan

Does anyone have knowledge of the above family?

Good morning all, I am still looking for the family of my convict Denis Hogan who was tried in Tipperary - I presume the township - and sentenced 13 March, 1833, for 7 years for manslaughter, and sent to New South Wales on the "Parmelia" (2) in 1833. I have notes on his life here in Australia, and on his wife and his surviving children, my gt. grandfather being one of them, but no information on the names of his parents, or where he was born in Ireland. If there are any new researchers delving into this man, or if anyone knows of his Irish family, I would be delighted to hear from them. Elizabeth Walker, Lake Macquarie, N.S.W. Australia.

The 68th light infantry, now stationed in Templemore will embark for India in the early part of March 1872.

I'm not sure about the Duggans, but I will note that if Martin Franklin of Cappawhite is my Great Grandfather, it is not beyond the possibility that later in life, as a young man, he would be living in the townland of Commanealine, Tipperary, and marry a young lady who lived in an adjoining townland in Co. Limerick, in the RC church in Doon, which is just a few miles from Cappawhite. I have never tried to explore the Duggan line as I have enough on my plate with the Franklin and Kirby lines, not to mention the Mahers, O'Rourkes, and several others. Steve

Nenagh Guardian. 17th Sept 1877. At Mullaunbrack within two miles of Thurles a process server from Nenagh and a Bailiff who were serving ejectments on five tenants, were attacked by a group of women. The Amazons after giving the Bailiff a good pounding, raised him bodily of the ground and carried him to a large pool of stagnant and putrid water in which they immersed him. Upon escaping from his assailants, he rushed to the police in Thurles, who accompanied him to the scene of the outrage. No arrests were made as it is said he cannot identify any of the women. Born to the wife of Mr. James McCutcheon, of Castle Street, Nenagh, a son. Born to the wife of Mr. J.D. Harkness, also of Castle Street, a daughter. An amorous Nenagh widower, "A knight of the thimble" was served as we have been informed with a notice to the subjoined effect by a widow holding a farm, who alleges that he promised to make her his wedded wife. To Mr. ---, I hereby give you notice that unless you marry me within one month from the service of this notice, I will take an action for £100 against you for breach of promise of marriage you made to me on the 19th of last month. On Saturday evening last a young woman named Winifred Hogan fell off a chair while sitting in her kitchen and broke her leg above the ankle. She was brought to the infirmary where she is progressing favourably under Dr. Minnitt's treatment. John Dolan, James Carroll, T. Hobbins and Peter Bolan were charged by the Constabulary with fighting and disturbing the peace on Sunday at Borrisokane. They were fined 1/- each with costs. 16th Sept. 1872. The marriage took place on the 16th Sept, at Tipperary Church, performed by Ven. Arch Deacon Bell, assisted by the Rev. J.B.Wilson, of Adam Prior, Esq., proprietor of the Guardian, to Maggie, daughter of John Andrews, Esq. Tipperary, and grand-daughter of the late Nathaniel Pennefather Sadlier, Esq. No cards please. The inmates of the local workhouses, to whom Australian meat has been served lately, have adopted the arbitrary course of refusing to eat it any longer. On the days when the meat is served, they make their dinner of potatoes alone, and in consequence more than half the quantity has to be thrown into the pig tub. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions last week, Pat Donoghue was fine 1/- and costs for winnowing corn on the public road. At the land sessions at Thurles yesterday, before the chairman of the county, in the case of Bridget Ryan against T. Ryan his Worship ruled that if a man overheld land after getting a notice to quit, he forfeited any claim to compensation for disturbance. The mother of two small boys now in the Nenagh Workhouse, send 6 shillings worth of postage stamps to the Nenagh Board of Guardians in the hope that the Board would send her children to her in Manchester. They refused until such time as the full sum of money is paid. 18th September 1871. Thomas Geeran, born at Scariff, Barony of Tulla, County Clare, on May 14th 1766, is very ill at the Brighton Infirmary, Sussex. Now in his 106th year, he was present at the capture of Seringapatum in 1699 (Misprint, should be 1799). At Corunna in 1809 he received two gunshot wounds. He escaped through Waterloo and entered Paris with the victorious army. In 1812 he was invalided without any pension. Deaths. September 16th at Clonmel, Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late Arthur Cashel, Esq. of Borrisokane. At an advanced age at the residence of Mrs McNamara, Castle Street, Nenagh, Mr. Martin Delaney, Silver Street, and old and well known inhabitant. At his residence, Silver Street, Mr. Edward McDonnell, engine driver on the Great Southern and Western Railway. John Cahill, who belongs to some religious order requiring him to wear a star of sticking plaster on his forehead, was sentenced to one month in prison at Roscrea Petty Sessions last week for throwing stones into Ward's house. Edward Dunne, a farmer in Grange, holding under a short lease from Mr. Henry Badcock, has been offered, by a party from the Newport District, £320 for a farm of 24 acres Irish plantation measure. Mr. Coughlan, brother of Mr. Coughlin, Castle Street., made an offer of £300 for the farm, the rent of which is, we believe, 30/- an acre. The sale has not been consummated owing, we understand, to the opposition of some of Mr. Dunne's family. A man named Gleeson, employed at the Slate Quarries, very nearly lost his life yesterday when a beam of timber fell on his head. He was attended by Dr. McKeogh. 10th May 1886. Moneygall Sessions. The only case of interest was that of Ex-Sergeant Carney against Thomas and John Reynolds, father and son, for using threatening and abusive language, calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, on April 25th. The evidence of the complainant was to the effect that the defendants called him an Orangeman and a land grabber. The son raised the stick over his head. The bench let the father off with a strong caution, and ordered him to give two sureties of £5 each, and himself in £10, to keep the peace for 12 months. The complainant's offence is that he took a garden from which the Reynold's had been evicted, and is consequently under a state of boycottism. Sergeant Riordan of Dunkerrin summoned Pat Cashin and Dan Reilly for assaulting a man at Dunkerrin on Easter Monday, while returning from the athletic sports at Frankfort. The case being proved, the defendants were fined 10/- and costs. Marriages. April 29th 1886, at Monkstown Church, Dublin, by the Rev. E. M. Rambant, MA, Incumbent of Christ Church, Blackrock, John Travers Robinson, Esq., second son of Augustus D. Robinson, Esq., of Cloughkeating, Borrisokane, to Fanny, only surviving daughter of the late Robert Robinson, Esq. Knockshegowna. Deaths. April 30th 1886 at Castle Lough, Margaret, widow of the late Rev. Standish O'Grady Parker, late of Castle Lough. April 28th at Templemore, William Fogarty, T.C. age 65. May 3rd after a lingering illness, Eva Dorcas, beloved wife of Thomas McCarthy of Kilgade, Ballymackey, aged 52 years. 10th May 1880. On Monday evening Mrs Emma Hill, nurse at Clifton, near Shinrone, dropped dead while drinking a cup of tea. Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Meagher, Coroner. On the evidence of Dr. McLoughlin, the jury returned for verdict, "died of heart disease". On the evening of the 27th ult., between 9 and 10, a party of 14 men, the majority of them armed with guns and pistols, attacked the dwelling house of a widow named Mary Maher, living in the town land of Moyaliffe, near Thurles. They found the door locked, and demanded admittance, which was refused. They broke a portion of the door and wrenched off two iron guard bars of the room window. Having raised the window, seven of them entered the room, where a youngster was concealed and carried her off, it is alleged, against her will. Her mother and her brothers and sisters vainly endeavoured to prevent her abduction, the leaded of the party threatening any one who would interfere with his taking the girl away. The matter was subsequently reported to the police at Moyaliffe Station and two men named McHugh and Stapleton were arrested. McHugh was identified by the widow as being one of the party and has been remanded to Tipperary Bridewell, the other prisoner was discharged. The mother and brother have sworn informations against one William Maher as being the leader of the party. It appears that some time previously asked the girl in marriage, and was refused. A warrant has been issued for his arrest but up to the latest accounts neither he nor the girl have been traced. It is with deep and sincere regret we have to record the death of Henry Owen Saunders, J.P., who was a very much respected and popular gentleman. He left this life for a better world in the 75th year of his age, last Friday evening at his residence, Killavalla, Borrisokane. The renowned "Bansha Peelers" had a gala day on Monday having no less than about 20 cases, the majority being for goats found wandering by them when on duty and patrolling, etc. Mary Quirke had Michael Maher summoned for an assault by striking her with a stick. The parties are neighbours but from their demeanour today it is unlikely Mike will break one portion of the Tenth Commandment. The assault originated about the trespass of cattle. He in retaliation made her "smart" by several blows of his "wottle" on the head and back, and he was made "smart today" by being fined 10/- and costs together with being bound to the peace. The latter part of the sentence he feels more degrading. At Newport Petty Sessions, Head Constable Close summoned a rambling tinker from Kilkenny, named O'Driscoll, and had him fined 10/- and costs. The same defendant was fined 1/- and costs for hawking about his tinware without being licensed. Mrs O'Driscoll was fined 2/6 and costs for staggering in the footsteps of her Lord.

I have an Eliza Dwyer as a baptismal sponsor in 1844 in Bonagortbaum, Couraganeen (Bourney) Parish. Also a Daniel Meagher as a witness in 1844 to the marriage of Benjamin England and Catherine Bannon in Couraganeen Parish.

20th June 1870. At a recent hearing of applications for liberty to retail liquor, it was stated that certain murderous injuries had been committed near some of the houses where it was sought to establish a public house. His Worship said that he would recommend the Magistrates to refuse to allow any new public houses where murders are committed. The following were granted licences--- James Haugh, 27 Castle Street, Nenagh. Hugh McCreedy, Nenagh. Patrick Maher, Borrisoleigh. James Ryan, Templemore. James Toohey, Roscrea. John Ryan of Cappinaleigh, was refused only by a majority of one. We understand that the widow of Patrick Kirwan, who was murdered on the 7th April, near Holycross, will apply to the Grand Jury at the South Tipp Assizes for compensation under the Coercion Act passed last session. Mr. Thomas Pennefather, Solr., Thurles, is engaged on the part of the widow. This is the first application of its kind to be made in Ireland. Martin Keeffe, who submitted at Cashel Quarter Sessions, to having a gun in his possession without a licence, was allowed off with one hour in prison. The gun was ordered to be forfeited. Edward Christopher, who had been convicted of stealing clothing, no less than nine times, was this time sentenced to 7 years penal servitude for the same offence. Died at Dromineer, Nenagh, after a long illness, Mr. John Lalor. Died at Blean House, Toomevara, of congestion of the lungs, Eleanor, second daughter of Head Constable Andrew Quinn. The funeral of the late Mrs Luby, mother of Thomas Clarke Luby, one of the Fenian prisoners, was made the occasion of a Fenian demonstration on Sunday. About 8 thousand people wearing green and orange emblems, draped with crepe, marched in procession to Clashnevin Cemetery. Prior to the burial of Mrs Luby, the crowd made the demonstration more significant by visiting the "Grave" of the Manchester Fenians, Allen, Larkin, and O'Brien. A number of privates of the 18th Royal Irish, stationed in Oughterard, were brought to Galway on last Thursday under heavy escort and lodged in goal. They had indulged in a drop of "the native" in the wilds of Connemara, which ended in a row. 18th June 1894. Sergeant Devere charged Matthew Fogarty with a second offence of drunkeness. Defendant's wife appeared for him and said he was going to take the pledge. The chairman informed her that the accused should produce a certificate of his having taken the pledge on the next court day, and he adjourned the case for that purpose. At the prosecution of Sergeant Devere, Michael Mack was fined 7/6 for obstructing the public footway on Sunday last, this being the second similar offence. Defendant's wife said he had gone to the militia and on the occasion for which he was summoned he was only waiting for a man to employ him. Sergeant Devere-He said he had as good a right to be there as I had. He was fined 5/ for the first offence. Chairman-I will fine him 7/6 now. Constable Irvine had Michael Ryan fined 7/6 for a second offence of drunkeness. Acting Sergeant Collins summoned William Brien for indecent language in the presence of two young ladies on Sunday last. He was fined 10/., and costs, in default seven days, the chairman remarking that he would put down reprehensible conduct of this kind. Mary Kelly summoned Mary McGrath for abusive language and had her fined 5/. Hanorah Bourke and Bridget Bourke, of William Street, had cross-summonses against each other for abusive language. Hanorah was fined 5/., and the other case was adjourned. Michael Bourke and Bridget Bourke had cross-summonses against each other, and they were dismissed. On Wednesday last a young man named Edward Cuneen, of Toomevara, who holds a small farm of land, assaulted his brother John, knocking him down. It is supposed that his mind is affected and he was brought into Nenagh today in custody of Constable Hendy when Colonel Kingley C.B. and Major Waring, R.M. attended at the barracks, and remanded Cuneen to the next Nenagh Petty Sessions. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions Acting Constable Hutchinson summoned Tim Hogan of Borrisokane, for having his licensed Public House opened at 10'40, and persons therein drinking. The constable said he found three men with "a dandy" full of whiskey each, sitting by the fire. A fine of 2/6 and costs was imposed. At the Dublin Police Court today two rough looking fellows named Bony and Hopkins were charged with having attempted maliciously to blow up and destroy the magnificent statue of the late Prince Consort, in Leinster Law, last night. It appears they were seen at the top of the statue, having clothed it with canvas saturated with inflammable stuffs, and the head was covered with a zinc chimney pot, bearing in wide red letters, the inscription "This is no residence for Royal Princes". A six chamber revolver, with four chambers loaded was found at the foot of the monument. Marriages. June 15th, at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Nenagh, by the Rev. P. Murphy, CC, Mr. Michael Tooher, Commercial Traveller, to Miss Honora Spain, second daughter of Mr. William Spain, Moanfin, Nenagh. June 21st at Cloney hurke? Church, by the Rev. George Kemmis, Vicar of Rosenalis, James Hill Poe, Lieut. 94th regiment, elder son of James Jocelyn Poe, of Riverstown, Nenagh, to Elinor Mary Anne, second daughter of the late Richard Warburton, DL, Garryhinch, King's County. At the Nenagh Spring Assizes, £250 was allowed Mrs Bridget Scanlan under the peace Preservation Act for her husband who was murdered at Killenaule on the 13th December last, being the second instalment of £500. Deaths. At Birr, Mr. John Spain, formerly of Nenagh. At Richmond Terrace, Limerick, Thomas, eldest son of the late Thomas Nugent, of Grange, near Nenagh. 19th June 1871, On Saturday evening at about 7 o'clock, a stonemason named Edward Barron, died suddenly in Bradley's Row, Templemore, of heart disease. An inquest was held by Thomas O'Meara, Esq., Coroner, on the following day, when the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. Married at Bath, Charles William Smith, of Hoole Lodge, Chester, to Helena Jane, second daughter of Sir Thomas B. Dancer Bart, of Modreeney House, Co. Tipperary. Three shoemakers named Corbett, residing in Newport, were charged with disturbing the peace outside the village recently. They were let off with a caution at Castleconnell Petty Sessions on Monday. At Borrisoleigh Petty Sessions last week, Bridget Fogarty summoned a man named Callanan for trespass, and Callanan had a cross case against Bridget. She said she found Callanan's goats in her field, and she brought them home and gave them up to his children. But as they were young, the Bench ruled that there was no delivery, and dismissed the case. Callanan charged Fogarty with another trespass, for driving his goats through his own land. This was also dismissed. We learn from the London Press that experiments are being made on a large scale for driving tramway carriages without horses. The plan is to wind up a powerful spring, coiling it like the spring of a watch, the spring to be long enough to uncoil sufficiently to propel a carriage five miles. The apparatus for throwing the machinery out of gear and suddenly stopping the vehicle is very simple. A decree for 30/- was granted to Martin Connors at Nenagh Quarter Sessions last week, for a sow which was run over recently by the Portumna mailcar. The defendant was Henry Allen, Postmaster at Cloughjordan, who runs the mailcar to Portumna. His carboy was examined, and swore that he was bound to travel at the rate of 7 miles per hour, including stoppages. He slowed down when he saw the pig, but the horse's hoof struck it. Mr. Nolan for the plaintiff, said that the mailcar was observed to be travelling at a furious rate. Died at his residence, Bayly Farm, after a few days illness, of fever, caught while training with his Regiment, North Tipperary Militia at Cashel, Launcelot G.A. Bayly, Esq. aged 29 years. Thomas Lanigan, whose frequent imprisonments in the County Gaol and Templemore Bridewell, are facts of public notoriety was sentenced again in Templemore last week to six months hard labour for assaulting Sub-Constable Johnston, in the discharge of his duty. The defendant who seemed to treat the matter lightly, thanked the bench, and said he would earn five years when he comes out.

We have an Elizabeth O'Dwyer present at a baptism in Ballybristy (Thurles) in 1811. I think she was one of the sponsors, so she would have been at least old enough to be a baptismal sponsor in 1811. I don't know if we have anything else, and I'm doing this from memory. The infant was our 3GF Maher. I believe also present were a male Purcell, sponsor, and an adult female Fogarty. We are looking for parents for that Maher male and anything all on the Fogarty family, as this Maher male married an Anne Fogarty who I think was b. 1816.

Hello All! . My wife's name is Ann (nee Dwyer) Morton. She was born in Philadelphia in 1935. . Ann's ggm was Ellen (Burke) Dwyer. Ellen was baptised in Tipperary Parish in the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly on Dec 5 1833. Ellen's sponsors were Edmund Frewen and Mary O'Dwyer . Ellen's parents were Tobias (or Theobald) Burke and Mary (nee Fox) Burke who were married on January 17 1833 in Solohead/Oola Parish, also in Cashel and Emly Archdiocese. . Ellen's sibling, Patrick Burke, was baptised in Tipperary Parish on March 23,1835. Patrick's sponsors were David and Catherine Burke. . Ellen married William Dwyer (born Ire.) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at St Anne's Parish on August 8 1854. (Ellen and William had emigrated to the US in 1845/1846 respectively, per the US 1900 Census.) . William and Ellen's first child, William, was baptised at St Anne's on September 30 1855. William's sponsors were Thomas K Allen and Catherine Dwyer. . William and Ellen's fifth child, Helen Dwyer, was baptised at St Anne's on June 12 1864. Helen's sponsors were David Burke and Hanora Joice. (Note that a David Burke (see above)was a sponsor at the baptism of Ellen (Burke) Dwyer's sibling, Patrick Burke, in Tipperary Parish. I could not obtain a baptismal record for David Burke). . Regarding Ellen (Burke's) husband, William Dwyer, I know that he was born in Ireland, but not where. It seemed somewhat logical to look for him in Tipperary, Ellen's birthplace. Also, the US family thought he was from Tipperary or Cork. I corresponded with the Tipperary Family Research Office for William Dwyers born there during the period 1825-1829. . They found only two entries that might fit my William's scenario, both born in Tipperary Parish. . A William O'Dwyer was baptised April 1,1826, son of Cornelius O'Dwyer and Judith Cleary. Sponsors were John Heffernan and Mary Ryan. Because the name Cornelius did not appear to be carried on in my William's family, either in Ireland or the US, they felt this was not a good fit. . The other William O'Dwyer was baptised April 14, 1825. His parents were William O'Dwyer and Bridget Phelan. Sponsors were John and Brigid O'Dwyer. Since the name William is carried on in both Ireland and the US (to the current day), the Tipperary Office felt that the William O'Dwyer born to William O'Dwyer and Brigid Phelan is a better possibility. This obviously is not conclusive. . Also, the William O'Dwyer baptised April 14 1825 had a brother, Anthony, who was baptised May 31 1823 in Tipperary Parish. Sponsors were Thomas O'Dwyer and Bridget Coffey. The names Anthony, Thomas and Bridget are used very sparingly in the Dwyer family in the US. I'd be interested to hear from any lister who has information bearing on these families. Thanks to all. - Lee Morton, Medford, New Jersey, USA.

>From the Nenagh Guardian. 11th June 1894. Died on the 3rd inst, at Pound Street, at the age of 75 years, Mrs Maryanne Gibbons. The funeral which took place on Tuesday was very large and respectable. Died on June 4th, at the Vicarage, Monsea, the Rev. H. Wakeham, aged 74. The funeral was conducted by the Mr.F.G. Morteshed and was most respectably attended. We are sorry to have to report that at Holyford, another man named Dwyer, has come to his death through an assault committed on him when returning from the fair of Thurles on Tuesday. He is alleged to have been struck with a stone on the head and the injuries which the unfortunate man sustained terminated fatally this morning at 4 o'clock. On Thursday last a frightful accident occurred at Killaloe Slate Quarries, by which a young fellow named Hickey, who was employed there, sustained injuries which may result fatally. While working in the quarries a huge stone became detached and fell on the unfortunate man's head, knocking him senseless and causing concussion of the brain. Rev. J.J. O'Halloran, was quickly on the scene and administered the last sacraments to him. Very little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Reports reached the constabulary here yesterday of a murderous affray having taken place at Curreeny, about nine miles from this town, on the occasion of the funeral of an old woman named Sarah Ryan, whose remains were about to be removed for internment in Clohinch graveyard. It appears from the particulars to hand that the members of two families named Ryan and Fox were present at the place with the intention of taking part in the funeral of the old woman, who, in her lifetime, held about a half acre of land upon which was the house in which she lived. Before the funeral started Michael Ryan (Matt), John Ryan, Timothy Carr, Michael Ryan, and a man named Butler, approached the Fox party and addressing the old man, said they had come to take possession of the half acre of land . Fox, Senior, replied that if Ryan had any authority, there was no objection to him doing so. Timothy Carr remarked that he carried authority with him, and proceeded to drive some cattle off the land, and the Foxes endeavoured to prevent him, when young Fox was struck on the head with a stone, knocked down, and while on the ground was struck by Michael Carr. A general hand to hand fight then took place in which every description of weapons were used, pitchforks, shovels, stones, and even the candlesticks that has been on the table in the corpse house were brought into requisition. Notwithstanding the serious nature of the injuries sustained by young Fox he accompanied the funeral to Clohinch where he took ill, and returned home as soon as possible. Dr. Quigley attended the injured parties, but young Fox succumbed to his injuries at one o'clock yesterday. Timothy Carr was arrested and send on remand to Limerick. Mr. Charles Honner attended at Curreeny yesterday and depositions were made by the Foxes. The greater number of those who took part in the melee have since fled, and the police are scouring the country in search of them. 28th Oct. 1872 On Monday, as Lord Dunalley was driving through the Silvermines, a small child, son to Patrick Darbison, a pensioner, happening to run in front of the car, was knocked down, but escaped without any serious injury. His Lordship at once had Doctor Kitson in attendance on the child. On Thursday his Lordship visited the little patient and put a £5 note in his hand. The child's father was most thankful for the gift and his Lordship's kindness in coming to see the child. Count D'Alton DL, has given to the Sister of Mercy at Nenagh, £8 to be distributed among the poor of the town. He also gave the Christian Brothers £1, besides charitable contributions to the poor of Toomevara and Grenanstown. Ellen Brennan of Ballinroe, summoned a young lad of the same place, at Templemore Petty Sessions on Wednesday, for preventing her from using a public well, and spilling some water that she was carrying therefrom. Mr. Pennefather appeared for the defendant, and the Bench, after hearing the facts, ruled "no jurisdiction". A mitigated penalty of only 5/., each, was imposed at Nenagh Petty sessions, on 26 persons summoned for drunkenness. They were fined low on account of the extraordinary severity of the weather on the day they were caught. Frank Sheppard has given notice that he will apply for compensation at the forthcoming road sessions at Roscrea, in respect of three dwelling houses, his property, which were maliciously burned at Limerick Street, Roscrea, recently. Amount £50. Married on the 26th inst, at Templederry Church by the Rev. E.S. Burns, Mr. Richard Wallace, of Middleplough, to Miss Margaret Hanly, niece of Mr. J. Powell, Cloghinch Hotel, Templederry.
