Tipperary / Re: Kennedy and Stapleton, The Mill, Cloughjordan

Sorry about delay in responding, I lost my password. Yes Maureen, it's cousin John Kennedy here. I'm afraid I have not got very far with the research for great grandparents with such a common name as Kennedy in Tipperary and particularly where Kennedy married a Kennedy. I'm having even less luck with my mothers side where a Ryan married a Ryan, again terribly common in North Tipperary.

Sorry about delay in responding to this thread. Just got back on track agin. I cannot be sure if I'm connected to Jack and Mary Kennedy. I know my grandfather was John Kennedy who lived at Mullinkeagh (known as the Mill). Also I know that the Kennedys raised Paddy Leamy there. I remember meeting Paddy after he returned to Ireland from New York where he worked. Census 1911 shows him as a child in the Kennedy household at Mullinkeagh.
Seems there could be a connection to Jack and Mary as suggested.

I was born and raised at The Mill, Cloughjordan. The townland is Mullinkeagh. Muillean is Irish for mill. It was not really a mill but was in fact the largest distillery for whiskey in Ireland in the mid 1800s.
My family is the one from above

John Kennedy; Mullinkeach
18/1/1944
wife; Ellen; 21/7/1952
grand-son; James; 24/4/1998 (38)
Their son; Martin; 25/2/2008 (84)

my father was Martin and brother James, deceased.
The mill complex, now in ruins, covered in ivy, was owned by Ned Kennedy nicknamed Rouser Kennedy and his business went bankrupt around that time. we never established if we are related to Rouser, probably not. There were also Kennedys living accross the road, Donal Kennedy.
Dont know if this is any help
