I was wondering if you ever had any Spillanes in your family. My Spillanes were originally (most likely) from this area. They had Leamys for sponsors and one Spillane married a Fogarty. Jan

Hi, listers These folks could have been anywhere but, while doing my own research I found STAPLETONs and MAHERs around the county seat (in Thurles, Tipperary). Valuation lists have Stapletons in Borrisoleigh. Don't know if that helps at all, but - just maybe it will be a guide of some sort. Heidi **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Does anyone know if the Tipperary Family Research Centre is closed please? About two weeks ago I commissioned a search and am waiting for contact; although I have not yet paid I have also sent three e-mails which remain unanswered or acknowledged. Am I using the wrong forms, website etc.? Cheers Cherie

Ann- I believe the primary concentration of Mahers is in and around Thurles, Tipperary. My sister did our family study and all of our people are from around Thurles, Tipperary. Our 3G male ancestor was baptized in Ballybristy, which is a townland near Thurles, in 1811. What we have of the historical record is that the O Mechair were there from at least the time of St. Patrick, and were possibly even converted by Patrick himself. We know of no other major concentration of Mahers outside of there. > Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 13:26:52 -0700 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [IRL-TIP] McGrath-Maher connections > > Hello listers > > This is a shot in the dark.

My great-grandparents John Fogarty and Margaret Kennedy were married on 26th February, 1870 at Grenanstown near Toomevara in County Tipperary. The register entry showed James Stapleton and Bridget Leamy or perhaps Leahy as witnesses. I know nothing about the witness James Stapleton. The groom was described as a resident of "Ballaheen Killea". The parties left Ireland in 1878 and settled at Wagga in southern New South Wales. Regards, Andrew Fogarty Casino N.S.W.

Our "brick wall" is in 1811, in which our 3G male Maher was baptized in a church in Ballybristy. At that baptism (this is from memory) there was a female Fogarty, and this Maher ancestor later married a woman named Anne Fogarty, b, 1816. Also at the baptism were a woman named O'Dwyer and a man (I think) named Purcell. That really is all we have. I should say that my sister did our family study and I'm sending this on to her. > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 07:11:02 +1000 > Subject: Re: [IRL-TIP] Family Connections,Kinnally,Maher's,Stapletons. > > My great-grandparents John Fogarty and Margaret Kennedy were married on 26th > February, 1870 at Grenanstown near Toomevara in County Tipperary.

Hello listers This is a shot in the dark. I'm hoping someone may direct me where to begin to look for the marriage of William McGrath and Mary Maher probably a few years before 1822. Their son Michael was my great-great grandfather who emigrated in 1847 and settled in Bytown, now Ottawa, Canada. Michael was born circa 1822 and died in 1901 in Ottawa. He was a labourer and worked in a quarry once in Canada. I have no further information on this family in Ireland. I am not certain that they are from Tipperary but have been advised it is possible given the surnames. Michael married Catherine Brennan, from Clogh in Co. Kilkenny, in Ottawa in 1854. Their marriage certificate gives his parents names as above but no other details. Ann Burns Ottawa, Canada

>From the Nenagh Guardian. 8th July 1872. An infirmary inmate of the Roscrea Workhouse had in a request to the Board of Guardians last week soliciting the Board to refray the expense of a visit to the seaside, as he hoped the change would prove beneficial. The Board did not deem it expedient to expend the rates in such a manner. Defaulters. The Nenagh Board of Guardians gave directions last week, for summonses to be issued against John Coughlin of Silver Street, Richard Brennan of Ballyartella, Patrick Donoghue of Ballygruaigue, and James Grace, whom Dr. Cahalan was obliged to report as defaulters under the Compulsory Vaccination Act. Died on the 5th July, Mrs Corcoran, relict of the late Timothy Corcoran, Esq. Honeymount, Roscrea. Died at Thurles on the 4th July, Anastatia, the beloved wife of Benjamin Hayes, esq., regretted by a large circle of friends, by whom through her life, she was much esteemed. We regret to have to state that a case of smallpox has occurred in this town. At a late hour on Thursday evening, it was reported to Mr. John Kennedy, the efficient relieving officer, that the 6 year old child of a labourer in Hanly's lane had been attacked but the parents would not allow the child to be removed to the Workhouse Hospital. A meeting of the guardians was held under the Sanitary act to compel the removal of the child, and she was removed to an isolated ward in the Workhouse. Dr. Cashel attended the child. Last night, two hawks of the eagle family were left together in a room of the Nenagh Railway Station, awaiting their consignment this morning to Mr. Corbett, the celebrated bird fancier in Castleconnell, but when Denny, the guard went to collect them, only one of the pair could be found. Denny suspects that one of cannibalism. On Friday, an old carman, named Matthew Egan from Rossmore, had his thigh bone fractured in Borrisokane by a horse falling on him. At Borrisokane Petty Sessions, John Madden of Gurteen had John Toohey of the same place summoned for malicious trespass. The chairman on referring the case for settlement, to the landlord, remarked that Solomon could hardly arbitrate between them. Constable Hicks, Carrigatoher, summoned John McDonell, Publican in that place, for having his Public House open between 12 and one o'clock on Sunday The minimum fine of 10/- was imposed. Mr. John Going, the Master of the Tipperary Foxhounds, having engaged a huntsman from England, the forthcoming season if likely to be successful. James Hayes, a chimney sweep from Roscrea, charged a little urchin, named Patrick Joyce, who was in his service with having committed a larceny of his working implements. It appeared that the defendant had left to work for a Nenagh sweep. As the charge was not substantiated, the case was dismissed. A difference has arisen between the Masters and Journeymen Bakers of Nenagh and a strike is threatened to come off next week. The Baker's employees are refusing to do night work. 1st June 1874. Died at the residence of his father, Tyone Cottage, Mr. William Dillon, Jnr, in his 24th year. Mr. W.B. Richards, County Inspector of the North Tipperary Constabulary, has left Nenagh on a month's leave of absence. Mr. H. F. Ward, of Templemore, Senior Sub-Inspector in the Riding is to act as his "locum tenens". During the last month, Mrs Farrer of Gurthalougha, has been receiving a succession of visitors. Amongst them were The Hon. Col. Bury, The Hon. Captain Needham, The Hon. Col. Elphinstone, Capt. Coote, Lord Algernon Percy, Capt Van D. Weyer, and Mr. Dent Farrer, Grenadier Guards. On Thursday, the tenant's children were entertained at Tulla, the residence of Captain Carroll, to a dinner. Football, dancing, etc., were kept up to a late hour. It is pleasant to see the old style still kept up in the old hospital manor. At Nenagh Board of Guardians meeting, 50 prayer books at 4p each, were ordered for the inmates, on the application of the RC Chaplain. At Nenagh Board of Guardians, two tenders for supplying wooden bedsteads were examined. Dr. Minnitt having recommended iron bedsteads, it was resolved not to accept the tender for the wooden ones. On Sunday, as the Rev. Mr. Ludlow was just after leaving the pulpit, in the primitive Methodist Chapel, Roscrea, a large piece of the ceiling fell on the spot where he had been standing. A poacher from near Killaloe, was sentenced to one month with hard labour at the Killaloe Petty sessions last week. There were two other committals against the despondent for three months each, with hard labour, to purge him of his contumaciousness and salmon poaching propensities. July 9th 1894. John Ryan pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with having on the 28th May unlawfully and maliciously wounded William McGrath, in the district of Thurles. The prisoner, after a lengthy hearing was acquitted and discharged. On Sunday evening last, Sergeant John Kelly had a painful duty to perform, when he, in company with other constables, proceeded to the Shannon, a short distance from his station at Ballina, and had the body of a young man named Harry Stanistreet recovered from the depths of the river, where the poor fellow had been accidentally drowned. He had gone to bathe with two other gentlemen named White of Kincora House, and Vereker, and getting beyond his depth, and not being an expert swimmer, sank to rise no more before any assistance could be afforded. A sad occurrence took place Sunday last on board an excursion steamer, named Lady of the Lake, while on its way from Tomgraney to Portumna. The Captain, Mr. Michael White, while attending to his duties, took suddenly ill and expired in a very few minutes. The body was conveyed back to Tomgraney, where an inquest was held on Monday and a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was returned. We are glad to be in a position to announce that Miss Kate Kennedy, daughter of Mr. Patrick Kennedy, Killyloughnane, has passed a most creditable examination in Dublin. For the Telegraph Department of the General Post Office and out of 82 candidates, secured 6th place. This young lady was prepared by Mrs. Flannery, of the Kilruane National School, and before proceeding to Dublin for examination spend some time at Ruan, in the County Clare, under instruction of Mr. Brady. We congratulate Miss Kennedy's parents on her success.

9th July 1877. Sir Mark Tuite, Bart, Kilruane House, is in the process of completing a flying machine by which he hopes to reach China, India, America or any point on the Globe in a given time. Sir Mark has promised the people of Nenagh a view of his first public trial of his aerial machine. Letter to the Editor of the Nenagh Guardian. Dear Sir, It is dreadful to see the number of beggers which infest our town, and it is pitiable that a large portion of them are little children, who go about by themselves and importune you at every door, thus sowing seeds which will often ripen into vagabondism or perhaps end on the gallows. I believe this is in a great measure to the widespread and increasing amount of outdoor relief given by the Nenagh Board of Guardians. The parents are not able to support their families on the sums they receive and must supplement it by the destruction of their offspring. Something ought to be done to prevent this. Yours. An Inhabitant. A tramp hailing from Tipperary, giving his name as Michael Ryan was sentenced to two months in prison with hard labour. This fellow attempted to maltreat Mr. Kennedy, Relieving Officer, because he did not give him money. He also assaulted Sub. Constable Molloy. At Nenagh Petty Sessions in the case of Michael Gleeson against John Brien of Mucklin, for wilfully throwing complainant of his turf bank, Mr. Gleeson appeared for the complainant and Mr. McGrath for defendant. Mr. Fleming, Chairman, said that these turf banks disputes should be left to the Landlord or Agent over the property. Lord Dunalley was the Landlord. He was a good man and always took great pains to settle disputes between his tenants. The case was then referred to Mr. Maude, Agent over the property. A Medical Officer belonging to the Thurles Union had last week to attend a child of a farmer "gratis" on a dispensary ticket. The farmer in question owns over 30 acres of land and is in comparatively comfortable circumstances. Members of the Dispensary Committees should be more cautious as to how they issue such tickets. A meeting is being held next week in Ryan's Hotel, Thurles to make arrangements for establishing a "Tipperary Independent Club". We are not clear as to what its purpose will be. 2nd June 1873 At Nenagh Petty Sessions Con Larkin summoned Stephen Liberty for overholding a house in the Old Turnpike, Nenagh, in which locality, both plaintiff and defendant are habitués. Mr. Nolan for the defendant said "My client never paid a penny rent to this man. This old man married a widow and now seeks to establish tenancy to the house and rob the children-(To the complainant)-Now isn't that right old boy." Old Boy-I don't know which. The case being dismissed "the old boy's" wife, on leaving the table, thanked their honours for not giving her husband the house. Married on Wednesday, Thomas O'Shea, Esq., of Brunswick Street, Dublin to Catherine, second daughter of Mrs Menton, Main Street, Killaloe. Married at the Dominican Chapel, Limerick, by the Rev. P. McInerney, Mr M. Fitzgerald, Bantiss, to Bridget, third daughter of the late Timothy Kenna, Ballylusky. Phillip L. Lyster of Ballyartella Mills, Nenagh, has been adjudged bankrupt. "Those invitations to battle are well understood in Tipperary", said Mr. Gore Jones, at Thurles Petty Sessions, when a defendant, Martin Martley, Cassertown )Probably Cassestown but Cassertown in paper) was sentenced to one month in prison with hard labour for using threatening language to Edward Gleeson. Complainant proved that on the 3rd inst, Martley when passing his door shouted out "Come out now, rotten Gleeson." The assizes for North Tipperary, just closed, has been distinguished by a favourable circumstance which was never before known to follow any previous Assizes held at Nenagh-the commission closed without a single person being sentenced by the Judge, even to one day's imprisonment in the County Gaol. Such a circumstance speaks well for the people of North Tipperary, and it also impresses one with the fact that the local administration of justice has been carefully carried out by the Magistrates, and that the Police have discharged their duties in an effective manner. A District Court Martial has been held at the Templemore Barracks on Private Thomas Cowan, of the 29th Regiment, a most refractory and incorrigible character, on whom Court Martials have been held on four previous occasions and punishment awarded. In this instance the sentence is 168 days in prison with hard labour, at the end of which he is to be ignominiously expelled from the Regiment. 2nd June 1879. At Nenagh Petty Sessions in the case of Sub-Constable Timothy Carr against Patrick Power Sen., and Patrick Power, Jnr., for knowingly issuing base coin. Timothy Heenan, assistant in Miss Tumpane's shop, gave evidence of the effect that the defendant's got a naggin of whiskey, and tendered a base half-crown in payment, the man said he got it in Cuddihy's shop. The senior defendant said he did not know what he was doing he was so drunk, he had been drunk the two previous days and he could not tell from whom he got the bad half crown. The Chairman said there was a great deal of base coin at present in circulation through the town. The sub-constable had Power, Jnr., summoned for aiding and abetting. As he left the shop before his father had tendered the base half-crown the case was dismissed against him. In the father's case informations were ordered to be sworn. On Monday three men named Cross-a father and two sons-were waylaid and savagely assaulted at Singland (the famous black battery of the 1689 Siege of Limerick) by neighbours named Hannen and Cunneen, who were determined to revenge an old grudge. The assailants have been arrested by the police.
