Plunkett Brothers in Dublin

[deeni]

Hi Norah, I'm really excited to learn we are related.  John Randal Plunkett (Randal's son) had a daughter called Monica and she is my grandmother.  Are you a descendant of John Randal too?  If not, can you tell me how you are related? I am sure I have alot of  info I can pass on to you.

Hi Deeni, how exciting, I am Oliver Charles great grandaughter, so our grandmothers were cousins!!

Wowo hello Deeni and Norah,

Pleased to see you two got together under same family of Plunketts!!!

I am related to the Plunketts by marriage of Oliver Plunkett and Emma Warren Browne's two children;
 Claud Ralph Allan Plunkett and Mabel Evelyn Purcell Plunketts
Claud married my 2nd cousin once removed Kathleen Broadbent and Claud's older sister Mabel married Kathleen Broadbent's older brother Wilfred. So two siblings married two siblings!
The Plunketts and The Broadbents were well known rich families in Dublin.

~I would love to have more info on Oliver's siblings. I have info on Claud and Mabel's families of their own if you are interested

Hi Kerry,  I'm really happy to  hear from you. I was wondering if you would contact us as I think you were the instigator of our search for the Plunkett Bros.  Norah and I  have swopped quite a bit of information . You two must be 2nd cousins and I'm a bit more distant being a 3rd cousin  I have quite alot of infomation on the Plunkett's but not of Oliver's descendants. But you and Norah will be able to work that out. I'll be able to  tell you a little  more about Randal Plunkett and the Byrne D'Arcy and Spring families. I've just written to  Norah and wonder will you receive it too or should I copy it to  you.  I think you are more experienced using Roots than Norah and I.  I'll write  again.  Deeni

Re:  Plunkett Family.
Randal Plunkett's father was a John Plunkett of  Portland Street West, Dublin.
I found  a  grave in Glasnevin  Cemetery which mentioned the  fourth daughter of John and Mary Plunkett - Isabel Plunkett who died at Suez in Egypt on 26th March 1857 aged 40 years.  I  wonder what she  was doing in Egypt and how she died.  Any ideas?

Hi Deeni, Kerry and Norah. My husband is the grandson of Charles Francis Purcell Plunkett whose parents were Oliver Charles and Emma Warren Brown. I believe Claude Ralph Alan Plunkett was the younger brother of Charles and emmigrated to Washington State, USA in 1924. Do you have any info to confirm that?

[Norah 3]

Hi Janef
Is your husband son of June or Gordon? My Grandmother was one of Charle's sisters.

[deeni]

I have a copy of Oliver Charles will.  He mentions his children: Charles Frances Purcell; Ernest Oliver Plunkett; Pelham Arthur Stanley Plunkett; Claude Ralph Allen Plunkett; Ethel Olive Plunkett;  Mabel Evelyn Plunkett and Emma Norah  Plunkett.  However on his death certificate it mentions the presence of his son, Herbert Plunkett.  Did he have 8 children? And why is he not mentioned in the will?   Unless of course he uses another name.

Norah, you are a descendant of Emma (the youngest?)and it seems Kerry is a descendant of Emma's as well. And Jane, you are a descendant of Charles (the eldest?). Iwonder if any other 2nd cousins will turn up.

I don't know much more about Oliver's side of the family, but I'd be happy to  find out birth dates if necessary as I presume they were all born in Dublin.
I did have a look  at his address, Springfield in Leixlip.  A lovely house  that is now a hotel.  Leixlip is a lovely village (small town) close to Dublin.

Hi Nora, my husband * (1948) is the first child of June. Her second son is * (1950). Gordon did not have children. Geoffrey was JuneS youngest brother and died of leukemia in his 20's. He married on his "death bed" and did not have children. I will get back to these messages at the weekend. Andrew is surprised at the links I've found:) Jane
