Cavan / Re: Thomas Plunkett-From Caven but where?
« on: Thursday 27 November 08 01:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Charismayo,
My ggrandparents Thomas Plunkett & Mary Gaffney remained in Co. Westmeath after they were evicted from Tonagh in 1860.  Their descendants are still farming the same land (Castletown, Finea)  and the family also has a sand and gravel business  - Plunkett's Sand & Gravel.

Thomas's father Patrick Plunkett (wife Mary O'Donoghue/Donoho) do appear in the 1821 census as you pointed out.  Patrick was said to have been one of the Clonabraney Plunketts ( from Taneymagaraugh,  near Oldcastle,  Co. Meath).  He was supposed to have had 5 brothers and 3 sisters, about which nothing is known, so there are a lot of potential cousins out there! 

Thanks for your interest.

Hello Charismayo,
My paternal grandparents were Thomas Plunkett  (1813- 1880) & Mary Gaffney.  Together with several cousins in Ireland, we have collected much information about this couple and their large family.  They lived in Tonagh townland but were evicted in 1860.  The family then moved a few miles west to Castletown, Finea,  Co. Westmeath.
Are you connected to this line?
