Cork / Newman of Dromore House Mallow
« on: Friday 21 January 11 23:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I am looking for dates for Frances Dorothea Newman (nee Dring), wife of Adam Newman Esq of Dromore House, Mallow, parish of Kilshannig. They married in 1803, and had six children (two sons four daughters). Adam Newman died in 1859; can anyone help with the date Mrs Frances Newman died?
Thanks!
Janet

Dear Freddy, what a lovely story, and what a handsome man. I am interested in General John Fitzmaurice's link to Co Kerry in connection with a website I am in the process of launching, at present something of an experiment, but I like the idea and hope it catches on. I was hoping to post an obituary to General John Fitzmaurice, as I have a photograph of him in his later years, but sadly there appears to be no mention in the local Kerry papers. It seems I need to hunt further afield for such information. If you want to take a look at the site, click the tab 'obituaries' on www.irelandrock.com and if you can help with an obituary, please do! Thanks for the reply.

Freddy, the book you refer to, the biographical sketch of General Fitzmaurice by his son dated 1908, can you tell me if it gives General Fitzmaurice's date of death? I have a date 24 December 1865 but I can't be sure.
I can find no trace of the sketch myself, clearly it's rare.
Thanks Freddy.

Please Joe, take time to listen! Don't go reinventing the wheel when there's no need. Read the article I have twice referred you to, it applies to you. Here's an excerpt, 'Among the familiar Killarney townland names lie occasional references to an area called 'Glynns', a name unknown and unused today. Close examination of the church archive reveals a few entries which, as well as referring to Glynns, give a townland name as well. For example, we have in 1812 the marriage of Mary Leahy of Cloghfune-Glynns, in 1820 of Margaret Quirke of Glynns-Derrycunnihy, in 1825 of Mary Connane of Glens-Cores. These records establish that the name Glynns refers to the ten or so mountain townlands which now make up the main south-eastern mountain area of the national park'.
A great amount of research has been carried out by Bill Quirke, why not read his work before putting yourself to the trouble of going to Trinity?
Good luck with it anyway!

Hi Joe
Glad you're making some progress. You sound relieved! I urge you though to read the essay on the people of the glens I mentioned earlier, try to avoid 'taking' anything to be anything until you've covered as much ground as you can. You'll be surprised at the difference between Glen and Glenns.
A couple of years ago I wrote a short history of the Tullaha/Killaha area relating largely to the O'Donoghue family that dominated the area but I think all copies are gone. If I find one I'll copy it for you.
