Hi Peter and Shane, in reply to two questions, I mentioned before that the first evictions were in february 28th 1887 but it seems that it was July 5th before the second wave of evictions took place this second wave lasted about 2 weeks and Peggy Doyle, in her book, stated that 60 families were evicted, about 300 people.
She did not cover all the 60 families so there were more evictions which were not mentioned in her book.

Re Kinsellas, My gggfather John Kinsella lived in Newtown but Peggy Doyle mentions Martin Kinsella as being evicted from newtown, probably john's son.
The other Kinsellas mentioned were Thomas (I think Barrac Croghan) then John Kinsella (also Barrac Croghan ?) Then another Thomas, then Thomas senior, Martin Kinsella (Newtown) then Patrick, then Owen.
Peggy also recounts the story of the shooting of John Kinsella of Barrac Croghan. In this account she mentions that he was a widower and lived with his children, Patrick, Myles, Elizabeth and Bridget . this murder is well documented and a a monument was erected to him in Kilninor cemetery.
If this refers to your family please let me know and maybe I can provide a little more information.

If any one out there has any information on the Newtown Kinsellas or the  Ballyfad Greenes please let me know

I have a copy of Peggy Doyle's book, but I need to keep it for reference for my own family research for Kinsella also (newtown) and Green (Ballyfad).
I would be happy to assist with providing information from this book which might help your family research.

Hi
I have read the posts re Alice green with interest. My Grandmother Elizabeth  Rossney ne Green was born in Ballyfad in April 1882. she was one of 7 children of Patrick Green of Ballyfad and his wife Elizabeth Kinsella from the adjacent townland of Newtown. According to the 1911 census Patrick was born 1853 and his wife Elizabeth was born Dec 1842.
On the 25-9-1873    Patrick Green & Bessie Kinsella, were married in  Johnstown, Arklow, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow. (Inch Civil Parish = Arklow RC Parish) Pat Green was described as  full age, Batchelor, Farmer    Ballyfad.   Father John Green   dead  farmer.
Elizabeth Kinsella,     full age Spinster  farmer's dau.  Newtown.   Father John Kinsella  alive  farmer.      Witnesses were Michael Green and Ellen Kinsella.

I suspect your Alice Green could be Pat's sister and Michael above probably his brother but I need facts to prove this.  Do you have any other information on any of Pat's siblings or his mother ?

If any reader has any information on the Greens or Elizabeth Kinsellas siblings I would love to hear from you.

I would be grateful for any information which might help my family research,
Thank you
