Hello,
I have been searching for information on a Herlihy family….who were from Kerry/Listowel. Ellen and Patrick Herlihy had 5 children.. Patrick, Cornelius Anne, Tim and Mary. Mary was born around 1929 and immigrated to Canada in 1950, landed in Nova Scotia, then made her way to Montreal where she stayed for a couple of years before moving on to Toronto. Any information would be gratefully appreciated……Mary’s middle name was Theresa. There is no record of a marriage for her, but she had a significant other at one point whose name was Michael Kelly, who was also from Ireland. Thanks!
KEYLOD: I checked the Valuation Document for Keylod. At the time of Griffiths John Sandes was renting it along with Heffernans from William Sandes. John Healy took it on in 1867 and held it until 1892. Nobody then until 1898 when Bryan Galvin took it. He only held it for a year. Next up was a John Moloney. Then Maurice Corridon came along in 1912. He purchased it from Sandes in 1914. Maurice must have died young because his wife Nora became the owner in 1920. She died around 1944 and then it was in the name of James Corridon from 1946 until 1955. Then Michael Corridon until 1958 when Jeremiah Clancy took over.
Before Griffiths Primary Valuation was published there were a ISLANDANNY: Interim books. When they compiled the first book John Moloney hadn’t yet come back from Monagay. Instead there were five Moloney households on the farm in Sluicequarter. The farm was shared by Thomas (jun.), Denis and Daniel. Then Thomas (sen.) and Michael were renting small plots from the three younger men. Thomas Sen. didn’t pay any rent for his plot and he also had the “grass for one cow”. He was obviously the father of the three men who shared the farm. I’m not sure about the exact relation of Michael to the others. He may have been a brother of Thomas (sen.) but maybe not. I knew of him already – he continued renting his plot until the 1870s. (The plot is basically what became Goulds later – also known as The Jury.)
When they revised this book a year or so later all the changes had been made. The names of the three brothers and their father are crossed out. And John Moloney’s name has been added. So I think Thomas (jun.), Denis and Daniel must all have headed off to America. And Thomas (sen.) had presumably died. He is the Thomas whose name is on the old headstone in the Old Abbey cemetery in Abbeyfeale. It was probably his death that put all the other changes in motion. I have no doubt but that John from Monagay was an elder brother of these men who left.
