Cork / Re: denis crowley/dunmanway/dublin.?

Yes, but she made a mistake on that record and used her mother’s maiden name instead of her own… or she chose to do it. They are generally of no known address. Laura was calling her second husband her husband years before they married and I think she calls herself Lizzie Ryan in the 1901 census. Her children were the only reason I found her. Her first marriage does not appear to be registered.  They were not always on the right side of the law!

Denis / Daniel was not connected to that Dunmanway family. He was born to parents who travelled around fairs. He was born in Castleblayney Monaghan as “Crolley or Crolly” (I would need to check), as that was where they resided at the time. They spent a good bit of time around Drogheda and in Dublin, close to Meath Street.. as did other members of the family including Clarkes. His father Denis was a ballad singer who died in a workhouse in 1897. His mother Laura Clarke, daughter of a showman called John and a mother Mary Anne McCormack who had a history of entertainment industry). By 1901 she was with three of her other children, Victor, Augustine and her new baby with Michael Ryan in lodgings in Cavan. She later married her Ryan husband but he was in the papers for kicking 6 year old Victor in the back. There were orders for children to be removed etc. Daniel / Denis likely resided in an industrial school in 1901. Dennis / Daniel names many of his children after his siblings and other ancestors.

Dublin / Re: The Coombe & Ash Street

I have been researching other strands of this family.
John Clarke and Catherine Kavanagh married in Cavan in 1892 and Laura Crowley is their witness. She was born Laura Clarke around the 1860s, daughter of a showman called John Clarke. She also lives at Ash Street with her husband in the 1911 census. There was another John Clarke, musician, who had a Victor, Frederick and Josephine in the 1880s. I thought this John Clarke was the brother of Laura.. now it’s occuring to me that one of them may in fact be the father John Clarke …born perhaps 1840s remarrying.

Dublin / Re: Cumann na mBan member list?

She is pretty! You never know where stuff will turn up. The Christian Brothers archives is by appointment only and they will bring out what you need if they have it. As I said, still a lot of stuff there to be archived...from the Popes slipper to the false teeth of a man executed to childhood diaries of 1916 men to gaol art, personal photos...

Give them a try..

I know you have searched the archives but just incase....the Christian Brothers archive has a lot of stuff from this period. A lot of it is catalogued but not all of it. The archive was in Rice House but is now possibly in Marino. Brother Allan had a big interest in Irish history, especially 1916, war of independence etc. the amount of stuff donated there is fantastic. A chunk of it went to the National Museum at Collins Barracks. I don't know how they are staffed now but no harm asking.

Other than that have you tried Military Archives in Rathmines? They have some interesting items in their collection. I think I came across a notebook before of women who were caught by the Free State Army carrying weapons etc. It might be worth asking if you haven't tried them.

Kerry / Re: Rowan family from Listowel

Hi Linda,

My Great Grandfather, Timothy Rowan, was born in Listowel in 1881 and his father, Patrick Rowan, is living in Ballaghadigue in the 1901 census.

Timothy came over to England sometime before 1911 as he married my Great Grandmother, Ellen Agnes Lowe in 1911 and was living and working in Fishponds, Bristol in 1911.

I understand from other members of my family that either he or his father was from a second marriage.

This is what I suspected alright. Timothy's dad Patrick was married to Bridget Finnerty and had a number of children from what I can make out. His wife died in 1875. One of the children was called bridget Rowan who married a Michsel McCarthy. Patrick senior then married again and had Timothy in 1881.

Both Timothy and the McCarthys moved to Bristol. While there, half sister Bridget McCarthy had a child she named Timothy but he died young. The McCarthys then moved to Wales. I am helping a McCarthy man to research his family tree and I'm sure he would love to hear from relations :-)

Kerry / Rowan family from Listowel
« on: Tuesday 12 August 14 12:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi there. I would like to get in touch with any remaining Rowan family or their descendants from Listowel, in particular from around Ballaghadigue. I know they were there during the 1911 census but I have a feeling they didn't remain there.

The name can be spelled a number of ways such as Rohan and Roan but this particular group seem to have stuck with Rowan.

Does the name sound familiar to anyone?

Many thanks  :)

Dublin / Re: Upper Ormond Quay
« on: Monday 11 March 13 13:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello there,

Eliza Thomas married William O'Brien of 27 Ormond Quay. She was my great great grandmothers younger sister. I would be interested to learn more about her and what happened to her children.

My great great grandmother had a brother called Stephen and I have just gotten in touch with his descendants. I would love to do the same with the O'Briens.

Linda
