Wexford / Re: Coolgreany Evictions

Hi Kath
I have to hold my hand up and say I wouldn't have a clue about the individual families. I just know about the event from what I read in Peggy Doyle and Jim Rees's books. I'm not from the area so am at a loss about the families. Sorry.

Hi Kath,
I agree with John. Jim Rees's account of the evictions is more from a general point of view rather than from a family history one, although most of the families are named. So, yeah, I would say it is the event and the general background of what was going on in the area at that time.

Thanks, John, for the reference to Jim Rees's 'Split Personalities'. I bought it last week and you're right about the level of information in the chapter dealing with the evictions. His inclusion of Henry Hurlberg's account is, as far as I know, new to this subjuect, uncovered after 130 years. Good stuff.
