Thank you so much Aghadowey & Kiltaglassen! You are both 100% correct in your posts. I have researched my father, Denis Joseph Scanlon b. 1914, and grandfather, Edmond, son of Daniel Scanlon from  but know very little about the Murphy line or what happened to Rathpeacon Hall immediately after they left in the early 1920's. Family history has all sorts of stories as to why they left in such a hurry- foot & mouth outbreak, black & tans raiding the house at gunpoint after an IRA raid nearby on the food train,

Some body died 1916
Irish Examiner Dec 4 1916
Cattle Trade
South Ireland Association

Letters were received from Messers D J Murphy Western Road and E Scanlon Rathpeacon Hall  thanking the Association for their sympathy in their recent bereavement.

And E Scanlon is listed in May 22 1920 in the same paper again for the Cattle Trade Association.

Evening Echo 1937
A judge is dealing with cases under the Damage to Property Act (I think this applies to claims dating from War of Independence and Civil War)
Edmond Scanlon Penarth Cardiff formerly of Rathpeacon Cork. Damage of a wall and hay and the cutting of trees to block the road. Two decrees of £26 and £16.

Is the house anywhere near the railway or the railway station?
The trains seem to have been fairly regularly raided for mail bags (this happened all over the country) and in Sept 1922 the railway bridge at Monard was blown up having recently been repaired also the signal house at Rathpeacon destroyed. So quite a bit of activity in the area making life difficult for the locals and anyone trying to do business.

Irish Examiner Nov 1 1924

W Marsh & Sons are instructed by the owner to sell……on Tuesday 18th November the residence and lands known as Rathpeacon Hall, Cork which are held under lease for an unexpired term at the annual rent of £57 P.L.V. Buildings £30 Lands £20.

The description includes a newly built Slaughterhouse and Shed so it looks like Edmond was planning on staying there long term.
