What happened Patrick and Mary's children? Margaret married a man called McGrath and moved to Co. Tipperary. Their other daughter, whose name I do not know, married a British soldier, a marriage which wasn't approved of by the family according to family lore. Bill bought a farm at a place called Honeypound in Croom.Patsy inherited the farm, married a lady called Margaret Power and had two daughters, Jane and Noreen. My great-grandfather, John, married Mary Hannon from the neighbouring parish of Kilfinny. They moved to the farm at Kilmacow which is just up the road from the Four Gates farm. The farm comprised 32 acres and here they raised 13 children born as follows:
Mary-Ann (1861), Patrick (1862), Jack (1865), Kitty (Kate) (1870), Annie (1872), Michael(1874 - my grandfather), James (1876), Tom (1878), Bill (1879), Ned (1880), Margaret (1883), Joe (1884) and finally, Dan (1885).
Over the coming months we will follow the lives of these 13 individuals.
Patrick died in May 1967 and his wife Mary in April 1868 and are buried in Boherard cemetery (see post of 23/10/2011)
