Henry Prittie who was granted Dunalley Castle and estates in counties Kerry and Tipperary by Charles II in 1678. His descendant Henry Prittie was created 1st Baron Dunalley of Kilboy, county Tipperary in 1800. This small collection consists of family and estate papers of the Prittie, Harrison, Sadleir and Ponsonby families, and was acquired by the National Library in May 1966 from Henry Desmond Graham Prittie, 6th Baron Dunalley. It includes deeds, wills, marriage settlements and related papers, accounts and other financial material, maps, rentals, family and estate correspondence and miscellaneous material. The Dunalley estates amounted to over 21,000 acres in county Tipperary valued at £7,162 in The Great Landowners of Great Britain and Ireland (1883, reprinted 1971). The Harrison, Sadleir and Ponsonby connections arise from marriages between the different families. The Library has received a number of accessions of Dunalley Papers, some of which are listed in Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation, vol. 1 ed. Richard J. Hayes (1965), p. 969, Manuscript Sources for the History of Irish Civilisation-First Supplement 1965-1975, vol. 1, ed. Richard J. Hayes (1979), p. 224, and in the card catalogue index in the Manuscripts Reading Room. A part of the collection was listed by T.U. Sadlier, Deputy Ulster King of Arms and published in Analecta Hibernica, vol. XIII, p. 129, although this is not comprehensive. A fuller list was undertaken by Sir John Ainsworth and appears in ‘National Library Reports on Private Collections’ number 472. 3 I.

  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

  • A Gazetteer of Castles in County Offaly Ballindarra
    BALLINDARRA A GAZETTEER OF CASTLES – Béal Átha na Darach (THE FORD-MOUTH OF THE OAK) NGR: 205309/203554 SMR NO. OFO35-021---- IN COUNTY OFFALY BARONY: Ballybritt TERRITORY: O’CARROLL’S COUNTRY [ÉILE UÍ CHEARBHAILL / ELY O’CARROLL] BY CAIMIN O’BRIEN CIVIL PARISH: Birr 17TH CENTURY PARISH: Birr BALLINDARRA CASTLE Location of Ballindarra Castle in Offaly and the surrounding counties A GAZETTEER OF CASTLES IN COUNTY OFFALY BALLINDARRA SUMMARY Today a modern bungalow stands inside the area of the bawn of the levelled O’Carroll castle. The castle was situated beside the medieval routeway connecting the medieval castles of Nenagh and Birr. It was strategically located to guard and control the fording point and bridge over the Little Brosna River which was the gateway to O’Carroll’s Country from the neighbouring lands of Ormond and the Gaelic territory of the O’Kennedys which now forms part of North Tipperary. Ballindarra Castle was a multi-storeyed tower house probably built in the late 15th or early 16th century by the O’Carrolls and was defended by a polygonal- shaped bawn wall. A short section of the upstanding wall, running parallel to the eastern bank of the river, may belong to the original bawn wall. Drawing c.1800, of Ballindarra Castle and Bawn from the Birr Castle archives (A/24) inspired by an account of the 1690 Siege of Birr. This drawing is an artist’s impression of a three storey roofless tower house standing inside an irregular-shaped bawn. It stands guarding the important pass or crossing point over the Little Brosna River which connected the medieval castles of Nenagh and Birr.

  • The Coonans of Roscrea by Michael F
    The Coonans of Roscrea By Michael F. McGraw, Ph.D. [email protected] October 26, 2018 Introduction This continues the effort to organize, consolidate and extend the research of Robert Conan. The following paper concerns the Coonan families found in the area of Ireland around Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. The material found in Conan’s notes pertaining to this subject consists of two parts: (1) a structured family report covering five generations and (2) a set of interviews conducted by Robert Conan in Ireland in 1970 and 1972. The data in the structured family report covers the period from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s and is discussed in Part I of this paper. Information was also found on a Roscrea family which had immigrated to Australia in 1865; they are also included in this part of the paper. The Robert Conan interviews covered the then current generation of Coonan descendants and went back one or two generations and which forms Part II of the paper. The overall goal is to connect the earlier Coonan generations with the more recent descendants, where possible. As many church and civil records as possible were collected to complement those collected by Robert Conan during his visits to Ireland. The information has been structured as family trees to achieve a concentration of the information and to increase the probability of discovering other family connections. The geographic proximity of the families described in this paper holds the promise of finding connections among them. A more long range goal is to find connections with the Upperchurch Coonan families, which were described in an earlier paper.
