Anyone know anything about a blacksmith in Abbeyleix by the name of Daniel McCarthy, late 19th century maybe early 20th. He was my great grandfather.

under the commercial section of 1894 Slaters Directory there is :
Carty John, blacksmith
Carty Joseph, blacksmith
in Abbeyleix
could these be connected to Daniel ?
I'll have a look in the earlier directories and let you know if I find anything more..

Hi all
I have tracked down my great grandfather thanks to the online 1911 census. He was a blacksmith in Tullyroe Abbeyleix. His son William was also a blacksmith and two daughters were there along with his wife Mary. My grandfather who went as McCarthy was not present. I believe there was a connetion with a pub in the town. i notice there is a pub run by Mooney in the market square, but there are Carthys resident there. Any local historians have any further info?
