I have run in to a brick wall and am hoping for some help.
Patrick Lennon was a butcher in Tullow. I believe his shop was burnt - and he died - in 1869. griffith suggests he was living in Tullow in 1850s.
Would anyone have further information?
Thanks

Do you have any other details for your Patrick - marriage or death cert?
Tullow is in the same registration district are Carlow town, but I dont see any likely deaths on the BMD Index......

Unfortunately I have no marriage/birth/death records.
On a separate forum I read an article about tallow st which indicated Pat Lennon - a butcher - died when his shop on 114 Tullow St burnt down in 1869. It is from this (unconfirmed) information that I have assumed his date of death - but can not trace any recorded evidence.

I was wondering about the location - your post said 'Tullow' which is a separate town to Carlow, (but still in Co. Carlow)
That Griffith Valuation entry is dated 1852.

Sorry - Tullow street

The only death I see that's close by date and geographically is this one - in 1868 :
Name: Patrick Lennan
Event type: Death
Year: 1868
Registration district: Baltinglass
Age : 68 (est. birth year 1800)
Volume: 17 / Page : 280
Baltinglass town, where the district is based, is to the north east of Carlow town and about 20km.
Do you believe this Patrick is an ancestor ?

I see an online article which mention the 1869 details - unfortunately no source mentioned

Two businesses destroyed 'Tom Conway Shoe & Lace maker ...Pat Lennon who was a Butcher and Tanner...', article suggests both men died.
No sign of a Tom/Thomas Conway death on the BMD Index in Carlow district in 1868 either - wonder if the dates are correct ?

two newspapers to look up which were in existance in 1869 the Carlow Sentinel and Carlow Post.
