Précis of the March Lecture IRELAND’S GENEALOGICAL ‘Killarney: The Royal visit of 1861 that put Killarney on the tourist map’ by Frank Tracy. This GAZETTE talk tells the story of the Royal visit to Killarney of 1861 and of the tragic events that followed it for is published by the Queen Victoria and her hosts, the Earl of Kenmare and Col. Henry Arthur Herbert. It also tells the Genealogical Society of Ireland story of how these events led to the establishment of the Killarney National Park. In July 1819 a young woman, Ellen Scanlan (nee Hanley) was murdered and her body dumped in Limited 11, Desmond Avenue, the Shannon estuary. She had eloped and married John Scanlon, however the marriage did not re- ceive the family approval and John Scanlan arranged for a servant, Stephen Sullivan to murder her. Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, A96 AD76, Ireland On discovery of the body near Money point, Scanlan fled but was apprehended and tried for the murder and was hanged in County Clare. This story formed the basis of “Colleen Bawn”, a play by E-mail: [email protected] Dion Boucicoult in 1860 which was a huge success, especially in London where Queen Victoria Charity Ref: CHY 10672 : CRO: 334884 went to see it on several occasions and was reputed to have loved it. The location of the murder in the play was migrated to Killarney and it was the relocation which brought the Killarney area to The Society is a Nominating Body for international attention. Seanad Éireann (Irish Senate) Queen Victoria visited Ireland in 1861 and part of that visit was to see her son and future King Albert Edward VII, also known as Bertie, who was in the army and based in the Curragh camp. After landing in Dun Laoghaire (Kingstown) the royals stayed in the Vice Regal Lodge (Aras an Board of Directors 2018 -2019 Uachtaráin) in the Phoenix Park followed by a visit to the Curragh to see their son.
