From: Alan Nugent Hi Eileen You sound elated and so you should be!!!!!!! Killucan does have an RC Church trouble, is when I was last there I made the mistake of only looking at the Church of Ireland Killucan "Just opposite the village, in a grove, stand three 16th and early 17th century crosses. One was erected to commemorate a couple who were killed in a coaching accident, the second commemorates a couple killed by a runaway horse and the third appears to be just a headstone. The protestant church contains a finely carved 13th century baptismal font and at the east end of the village stands the remains of a 15th century church. Rathwire, 2km from Killucan, was the meeting place between King John of England and Cahal Chrobherg, King of Connaught, in 1210 A.D." Delvin is only 10 - 15 minutes drive from Killucan This is the area/county of my research Regards Alan
Thank you Alan, I'm glad you got to correct my mistake in saying Delvin and not Devlin like I did....lol Eileen ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 4:20 AM Subject: Re: [Irl-Westmeath] CAREY and KEOGHAN in Delvin and Killucan > > > From: Alan Nugent > > Hi Eileen > You sound elated and so you should be!!!!!!! > > Killucan does have an RC Church trouble, is when I was last there I made > the mistake of only looking at the Church of Ireland > > Killucan > "Just opposite the village, in a grove, stand three 16th and early 17th > century crosses. > One was erected to commemorate a couple who were killed in a coaching > accident, > the second commemorates a couple killed by a runaway horse and the third > appears > to be just a headstone.
