Cork / Re: Stubbs in Mallow

My father said that he knew Annie Stubbs, and that she lived behind the Clock House in Mallow. He remembers as a yooung boy ,visiting her in the 30's and 40's. He thinks that she didnt have any children. She was friendly with my Granmother and used to visit the house in the Ironmines on a regular basis. This Annie Stubbs had a brother called Christopher.

The O Brien that you refer to was William O Brien,my Greatgrandfather , he was actually aged 74 in 1901, the  sons you refer to are Maurice and David. Maurice died in 1969 and lived all his life in the family home. David went to South Africa in about 1910 to join his two older brothers that fought in the Boer War. My family still live in this house.  Your theory may be correct about Annie Stubbs. Who knows ! If you check the 1901 census for the same townland you will find the Stubbs name recorded as domestic servants for the home of Fanny Lynch. I dont know if they are conneced. I know there is a Stubbs family currently living in Mallow. Maybe my father who is now 80 , might know if there is a connection.
