My G grandfathers was Richard (Dick) O'Connell, b. 1877, he is buried at Murhur graveyard which is about three miles from Knockanure, he died May 1939. He married Nora Foley (not sure if she was from
Moyvane) and they had nine children, one of which was my grandfather, Parick O'Connell. My G grandfather also had one brother that I know of, Daniel O'Connell, b. 1873.
In Murhur graveyard there is a tomb erected by Morgan and Timothy O'Connell. in memory of there brother Rev. John O'Connell who died April 1822 aged 36 years, this tomb is quite close to my great
grandfathers grave so I was wondering if there was a connection but I have not been able to make this connection either. I will be talking to a member of my family next week who should be able to
give me more details of my great grandfathers brothers and sisters and hopefully his parents. I will also be visiting Listowel graveyard in an hour or two so I will let you know how I get on
there.

I have some more information for you, My GG grandfather name was John O'Connell, he married Mary Collins, I don't have any dates of birth or date of marriage but I do have their childrens name and
DOB's.
Mary b. 1861,
Patrick b. 1862,
John b. 1864,
William b. 1866,
Ellen b. 1868,
Ellen 1869,
Michael b. 1871,
Joanna b. 1872,
Daniel b. 1875,
Richard (my g grandfather) b. 1877,
and finally Mary b. 1889.
One possibility is that my gg grandfather's son John b.1864 also married a lady called Mary and had a daughter called Mary in 1889, he would have been 25 yrs when this Mary was born. The second
daughter Ellen may be named after the first if she died at infancy, this was quite common.
There is a grave in Murhur erected for John O'Connell, Kilbaha, d. 4th June 1925, his son Patrick d. 24th Sept 1955, His Son William d. 30th Nov. 1956. This headstone was erected by his daughtr
Noreen is Boston, so I don't believe that this is the grave of my gg grandfather, I think it may be his son John b. 1864. I going out to Moyvane today to see the baptism records so hopefully that
will shed more light on the matter.
I also visited Templeathea graveyard yesterday, there was only five O'Connell graves, three of them were erected by the same person, John Connell. The first was erected for Cornelius Connell, d. Mar 4th, 1809, aged 17, the second was erected for John Connell Sr. d. Apr 2nd, 1814, aged 64, an third was erected for Timothy Connell, d. Apr 14th 1814, aged 32.

Obituary- Most Rev. Dr. Mangan, Bishop of Kerry
Death of Most Rev. Dr. Mangan, Bishop of Kerry
The Kerry Weekly Report, ca 1 July 1917
Funeral and Internment
The grave within the great Cathedral of Killarney, at the foot of St. Patrick's Altar, side by side with some former Bishops of the Diocese of Ardfert and Aghadoe, on Thursday received the earthly
remains of the Most Rev. Dr. Mangan in the presence of priests and laity representing every part of Kerry as well as many other Irish counties etc. From it's peaceful bosom there will spring home but
fond regrets and tender recollections of the dead Priest. The grateful memory of good things he did will have cut the stars so the sorrow of his people will show the truth of what he did for them.
The friendship which death creates will recall only the religious spirit, the fixed and the dear .. that ..difficulties when necessary and ever .. them. Let two events be recalled today to tell the
story of the Most Rev. Dr, Mangan's years as Bishop. The Cathedral was unfinished and faint hearted people spoke . The Most Rev. Dr. Mangan saw and all these questions but went ahead with the work
and completed it. It was a gigantic task, carried through so quietly and indeed so quickly, that we may be disposed to forget it's magnitude. But in the record of twenty Bishops go or to come there
was not, and will not be, a greater effort accomplished so well and with such little display. Thus was the other one, Edward O'Meagher Condon, the felon condemned to death in Manchester in 1867 with
Allwn, Larkin, and O'Brien but reprieved because of his American citizenship, returned to his native land and visited Killarney in the summer of 1904. They faint hearted little men who were in some
of the public positions in the town ran away before they would be brought in touch with the old ..; but the Most Rev. Dr. Mangan startled the backboneless creatures by inviting O'Meagher Condon to
visit the Palace and partake of his lordship's hospitality!
These and such events rose before the mind as the Office for the Dead was chanted today by the Rev. D. Finneane and Re. P. O'Carroll, and the responses given by a large number of Kerry priest. During the Solemn Requiem High Mass at 11:30, of which the celebrant was the Most Rev. Dr. Harty, with the Very Rev. Dean O'Sullivan as Assistant Priest, the Very Rev. Canon Fuller Deacon and the Rev. T. Kelliher Sub-Deacon, and the Very Rev. P. J. Fitzgerald, V. F. Master of Ceremonies, the Cathedral was filled with hundreds of the clergy and laity. Afterwards the huge procession left the Cathedral , and marching by St. Margaret's Road and through High street and New street, returned. The Rev. Rev. D. J. O'Sullivan, bearing the Cross, led the procession. Behind him came the Children of Mary of the Presentation Convent, the Presentation school children, the Industrial School children, the Children of Mary of the Mercy Convent, and the Mercy School children and the Monastery School children, all of who were suitably and neatly attired and regulated. After the school children came 24 helmeted sergeants and policemen under District Inspector Cheeseman. Then followed hundreds of members of the men's and women's Confraternity of the Holy Family, about fifty school teachers, the students of St. Brendan's, ten members of the County Council, the Killarney Urban Council, members of the Tralee U.D.C. and R.D.C., twenty-five members Killarney R.D.C., nearly two hundred clergymen, including Religious Orders, the bier with coffin, and the general public. When the end was reached and the last prayers were said beside the open grave within the Cathedral, there was great sympathy by the hundreds of onlookers and a general feeling that Death had taken all too soon another of the distinguished Bishop whose name and memory will be enshrined in the annals of the Diocese of St. Brendan.
Dear Padraig, My compliments to you on your website - it's so well laid-out, professional-looking, and informative. I'm particularly interested in the information because I have Hanrahans (Kilbaha), Cunninghams (Kilbaha) and Finucanes (near Gale Bridge and in Ballybunion) in my family tree who may or may not be connected with your family. If you think there might be a connection I'd be very grateful if you would let me know. Starting with Hanrahans, my great-aunt, Brigid Shanahan (b. 1895) from Kilbaha married a Michael Hanrahan from Kilbaha. They had four children, Peggy (Holy Ghost sister in Nigeria), Mary (Holy Ghost sister in England and Dublin), Kathleen, and John (Jackie). Now on to Cunninghams, my great grandmother was a Johanna Cunningham from Kilbaha. Apparently her family owned a lot of land in Kilbaha. She married William O'Connor (probably from Kilbaha) and had four children: Mary, John (my grandfather, born 1875), Eddie, Patrick and Michael. Finally the Finucane connection: Mary O'Connor, above, the daughter of Johanna and William, married a William (Bill) Finucane. Mary (also known as Mainanne) and Bill lived near Gale Bridge near Moyvane. They had one daughter and seven sons, including a Paddy Finucane who may or may not be your Paddy Finucane. My Paddy Finucane was born perhaps between 1904 and 1910 and lived in Ballybunion. I know he remarried after his first wife died and that he and his second wife ran a guesthouse in Ballybunion, possibly called "Cliff House". He had four or five children from his first marriage. If anything above is familiar to you, could you respond to me here or at helen.oconnor@ireland.com. Thank you.
In 1979, Frank acquired his first job as Shaper on the now famous Golf Course at Ballybunion, Ireland. This course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Snr, who is widely regarded as the most
reputable Golf Course Designer of modern golf design worldwide. While working on this project, Frank's natural ability for the shaping of greens and fairways along with his strong ethic was quickly
recognized by the Robert Trent Jones organization.
In 1980 he started with Greenscape Ltd., which is the Construction Company of the Robert Trent Jones Jnr., Design. Frank spent the next eight years learning all aspects of golf course construction and design, along with turf grass maintenance, throughout the USA, Europe and Asia, completing over 20 golf courses world wide. In 1988, Frank decided that a break from traveling was needed, and, therefore, he returned to New York and joined Intercity Construction as vice president, a general contracting company in New York City. While studying Business Administration in College by night, he was preparing himself for a return to the golf course construction industry, but this time with his own Company. In 1992, the Intergolf Group was established and has to date successfully completed projects worldwide.
Catherine Hayes was born into abject poverty in Limerick, Ireland in 1818. After five years of vocal study in Paris and Milan she made her debut at the Italian Opera in Marseilles in Bellini's I
Puritani in May 1845 followed by performances of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Rossini's Mosé. Her debut at La Scala in Milan in 1845 quickly followed with phenomenal success. Shortly after,
the young Giuseppe Verdi became interested in her for one of his new operas. Her great success continued in Vienna and also in Venice, Florence, Genoa, Rome and other cities in Italy.
Early in 1849, Catherine accepted a contract to sing at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, London where she made her debut in Linda di Chamounix in April. In June 1849, she received an invitation to sing at Buckingham Palace, for Queen Victoria and 500 guests. After an evening of Italian music, when the Queen requested an encore, Catherine, with a smile, sang the beautiful Irish rebel song, "Kathleen Mavourneen!".
During Ireland's Great Famine in November 1849, her emotional return to her native country resulted in rave notices for her performance in Lucia di Lammermoor and other operas and concerts in Dublin, Limerick and Cork.
In 1851, Catherine went to America where Jenny Lind was creating such a wave of success. Catherine gave concerts in New York, Boston, Toronto, Philadelphia, Washington DC, on down to Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans and forty-five other places including the river towns along the Mississippi, with equal success. She met presidents, statesmen and business leaders along the way. She was also destined to meet her future lover and husband in America - Jenny Lind's former manager. Catherine's travels took her to the "gold rush" in the San Francisco area in the 1850s where her presence created a furor, singing for the miners and the elite of San Francisco. The great showman P.T. Barnum sponsored her tour. She sang in opera and concerts in Peru and Chile, then traveled to Hawaii where she gave a concert, before continuing on to Australia. Catherine Hayes was the first great European opera star to visit Australia. She is mentioned in most Australian history books about early culture in the young colony. She also traveled to Calcutta, India where she performed for the British Military and then on to Singapore and Java before returning to Australia for more opera and concerts. Her mother traveled with her everywhere.
She returned to London in 1856 after circumnavigating the Globe and shortly thereafter married her lover and then, great tragedy struck - she died from a stroke in London at age 42.
Diarmuid o Carrroll the rising Glasgow Celtic soccer star who was home on a flying visit literally in between training sessions with the legendary Glasgow club. Only days before I had read with great pride in the Examiner where this young man had been the star for the Irish under 19 Soccer team who had stunned Italy packed with pin-ups of Seri A as the beat them 2-0 in Bari. To my knowledge this was the first time in history that an Irish team had beaten the Italians on home ground, and the man who scored the first goal and made the second was our young Kerry hero. His grandfather came from Knockanure.
Tom Carmody came from Dromlacht, Co. Kerry. I
don't know where that is in relation to Listowel--Dromlacht doesn't show up
at all on my road atlas of Ireland. The original title of "Morrison's" as
Tom Carmody got it from his father was "The Stick Across the Hob."
Apparently, Morrison learned the tune from Carmody the night before the
recording session.
Orchestras were the fashion of the day so Jim formed 'The James Morrison Band' with Tom Carmody on accordion and a pool of other players

Ballylongford
Church
The first vicar of Aghavallin that we know of was Muiris O'Cionnfhaolaidh (Kennelly), priest of Ardfert, who in 1402 was to be called to the Vicarage, 'if found fit in Latin.' Either he or another Muiris is mentioned again in 1418 and in 1427 it is stated that he has held Aghavallin for over eight years. He was then deprived of the living and his son Taigh, (who had to obtain a dispensation from Rome to take up his position, as his father and mother were not married at the time of his birth) was installed in his place. He died in 1440.
In 1432 we find Donatus (Donal) 0 Cionnfiaolaidh is recorded as priest in Aghavallin. He translated to Kilfergus (Glin) in 1435 ('a parish long vacant since the marriage of Tomas 0 Halpy [0 hailpinl?] in 1427~'). Cornelius 0 Tuathaill succeeded him.
In 1449 Sean 0 Colmain, clerk of the parish, is provided to Aghavallin in succession to Taigh 0 Cionnfhaolaidh, but two years later Cornelius 0 Concubhair (O'Connor) petitions Rome that on the death of ~O'Tuathaill, he himself was dispensed by the Pope and appointed Vicar. He says he served in Aghavallin for a year, but that John Pursel, Canon of Limerick, settled the dispute between himself and 0 Colmain in favour of the latter.
Appointing 0 Colmain to the vicarage of Kilgobnet and 0 Concubhair to Drumcannon, both in Lismore Diocese, solved this problem.
In 1457, Taigh 0 Logyhane (0 Longhain, Langan) clergyman of the parish is charged the sale of Church Appointments 0r Church Property and with perjury , Donal 0 Cionnfhaolaidh back again in 1460.
