Had two daughters
Elizabeth and Margaret.
William Alton M.D. of Tralee in 1831.
(that is all it says)

Hi all,

My husband and I will be visiting Ireland in June this year.  Very exciting!

My Irish roots are terribly distant (gg-grandfather went to Australia in 1833; g-grandfather to NZ 1880s) and although their family is reasonably well documented I'm not holding out too many hopes of finding any graves, etc. However, there is one lead I'd dearly love to follow up.

Ggg-grandmother Charlotte Morphy (nee Gallwey) was born c1785 in Killarney and died in 1839 at Mount Prospect, Co. Kerry. I can't find any modern reference to Mount Prospect -

Unfortunately I am reading your request a bit late. (for your trip to Kerry) in June.
If it helps, yes, there is/was a house named
Mount Prospect.
It is in Castleisland, which is a few miles from Killarney.
The house was also known as
Ballinvariscal House.
The address is Nohaval Castleisland.
located 5 km west from Castleisland.
It is still standing and inhabited.
The Lehihan Family bought the property in the early 1900s and still reside there.
