PATRICK LENNON - BUTCHER

[Ataturk05]

I have run in to a brick wall and am hoping for some help.

Patrick Lennon was a butcher in Tullow.  I believe his shop was burnt - and he died - in 1869.  griffith suggests he was living in Tullow in 1850s.

Would anyone have further information?

Thanks

Do you have any other details for your Patrick - marriage or death cert?

Tullow is in the same registration district are Carlow town, but I dont see any likely deaths on the BMD Index......

Unfortunately I have no marriage/birth/death records. 

On a separate forum I read an article about tallow st which indicated Pat Lennon - a butcher - died when his shop on 114 Tullow St burnt down in 1869.  It is from this (unconfirmed) information that I have assumed his date of death - but can not trace any recorded evidence.

I was wondering about the location - your post said 'Tullow' which is a separate town to Carlow, (but still in Co. Carlow)

That Griffith Valuation entry is dated 1852.

Sorry - Tullow street

The only death I see that's close by date and geographically is this one - in 1868 :

  Name: Patrick Lennan
  Event type: Death
  Year: 1868
  Registration district: Baltinglass
  Age : 68    (est. birth year 1800)
  Volume: 17 / Page : 280

Baltinglass town, where the district is based, is to the north east of Carlow town and about 20km.

Do you believe this Patrick is an ancestor ?

I see an online article which mention the 1869 details - unfortunately  no source mentioned

Two businesses destroyed 'Tom Conway Shoe & Lace maker ...Pat Lennon who was a Butcher and Tanner...', article suggests both men died.

No sign of a Tom/Thomas Conway death on the BMD Index in Carlow district in 1868 either - wonder if the dates are correct ?

two newspapers to look up which were in existance in 1869 the Carlow Sentinel and Carlow Post.
