'Land & People of Killaloe Parish' ,

Hi Rae

Re: Land & People of Killaloe Parish by Sea Kierse (2008)

With regret the book is extremely hard to get, basically it is available at Whelan's at Killaloe near cathedral. The Whelan's shop as I understand it is NOT on the phone nor does it have any EFPOS/EFT facility, purely Cash only. Failing this do you know of any person that is going to Ireland, Killaloe and purchase a copy by hand, I know this seems in this day and age extremely laborious amount of time. I possibly have a cousing going to Ireland in the middle of October?

The book is it pivotal in decoding the Killaloe Parish, please I not trying to tease you or under estimate its significance. I have attached the Ryan index to give a clue. The cost of the book is about 22.00 euro if posted is about $38-$40

Is there a particular Ryan family you are following? I have been transcribing the registers if that is any help?

Kind Regards

Jeff

Dear Rae,

I'm pleased that you received the book. It is fabulous and explains so much.. I also endorse what Jim has said about the anthology and education books, which are very interesting.

I am searching for records of Margaret O'Donnell, (Peggy? Donolan?/Donnellon?) who died some time after 1836, when my ancestor, William Crowe, was born. Margaret married Thomas Crowe. Please let me know if you find anything about her.

Thanks

Rob

Rob, I did find William Crowe, b in the Glen 1834, son of Edmond Crow & Judy Molony, also emigrated to Aust in 1855, possibly on the Hilton. His uncle had emigrated to Aust many yrs before. No Donolan, or Donnellon names mentioned . do you have any more details on the Crowe family. No mention of a Margaret O'Donnell.

Rae

There is mention of a Roger Donnellan 1824 & 1835 Tithes Appt townland Killestry .
