Hi Peter and Shane, in reply to two questions, I mentioned before that the first evictions were in february 28th 1887 but it seems that it was July 5th before the second wave of evictions took place this second wave lasted about 2 weeks and Peggy Doyle, in her book, stated that 60 families were evicted, about 300 people.
She did not cover all the 60 families so there were more evictions which were not mentioned in her book.
Re Kinsellas, My gggfather John Kinsella lived in Newtown but Peggy Doyle mentions Martin Kinsella as being evicted from newtown, probably john's son.
The other Kinsellas mentioned were Thomas (I think Barrac Croghan) then John Kinsella (also Barrac Croghan ?) Then another Thomas, then Thomas senior, Martin Kinsella (Newtown) then Patrick, then Owen.
Peggy also recounts the story of the shooting of John Kinsella of Barrac Croghan. In this account she mentions that he was a widower and lived with his children, Patrick, Myles, Elizabeth and Bridget . this murder is well documented and a a monument was erected to him in Kilninor cemetery.
If this refers to your family please let me know and maybe I can provide a little more information.
If any one out there has any information on the Newtown Kinsellas or the Ballyfad Greenes please let me know
Justin
