Hi Shane
Great to hear from you. Yes I have found all the Green/e burials t Ballyfad and Kilenor. Thank you for the offer. Simon, also spelt as Crean, was my 3x gt grandfather and father to John of Ballyfad and Patrick of Knockgreany. John was my gt gt grandfather.
Patrick who married Bessie Kinsella, took over Ballyfad when his father John died and he was the one who was evicted along with Michael Green of Knockgreany, son of Patrick and Catherine Fowler.
Although I am not sure, I think Mary Darcy was from the Ballyfad area. I do not know what happened to her and her children. Daniel was last heard of in 1876, when his daughter was born and then nothing until my grandad, Patrick was born in 1902. Daniel went on to marry Bridget Byrne, my gt grandmother in approximately 1892 and they had three children - John, Patrick and Elizabeth. Patrick was my grandfather. It would seem a bit strange for Daniel to call his children the same names as the children he had with Mary but that appears to be what happened.
I have been trying to work out if the Green/e's buried in Limberick and the Arklow or and the Holyfort Green/e's are all connected.
The tenant records of the Coolgreany estate are in the records office in Northern Ireland. Not sure if you knew this. Most of the tenent books etc., were taken up there when the Rev Forde sold the estate to Brookes and moved back to Northern Ireland. The Brookes family, incidently, originate from about 3 miles from where I now live!
I too have read the awful accounts of Patrick. I was not sure if the Patrick of Askinch was the same Patrick in Ballyfad.
I wonder if the Mary Darcy, dau of Terence, is the same one who married my gt grandfather! I know she had a brother Thomas. My thoughts were that if her first child was born in 1864 and Mary was born in 1823, then she would have been about 41 and 53 when the 'female' was born in Dublin. Of course this is possible but for this reason I imagined she would not be this Mary but she could have been.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the above. Or you may know someone who knows about the Green/e's who might be able to help me unwind all this!!! Unfortunately, the Green/e's were scattered after the evictions and ended up all over the place!!
