Ireland / Re: Alexander MOORHEAD a "National Teacher" - b. Longford 1860ish

Looks like he was born in 1859 as he was aged 45 years and 4 months in the “List of Teachers Employed by the Commissioners of National Education on 31 March 1905”
https://www.nationalarchives.ie/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/NAI_ED_PCO_10_1_24-Mayers-SMorris_Redux.pdf

So he was born before civil registration of births was introduced.

Martin Mahoney pops up in the "House Books" for Ballydribbeen in 1848 (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/vob/IRE_CENSUS_1821-51_007246838_01153.pdf) and 1850 (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/vob/IRE_CENSUS_1821-51_007246838_01048.pdf)

His house was rated as 3C "Thatched house with stone walls with mud or puddle mortar; dry stone walls pointed or mud walls of the best kind"/"Old and out of repair".

By 1853 he's gone and they seem to have built a lunatic asylum on the site! https://griffiths.askaboutireland.ie/gv4/z/zoomifyDynamicViewer.php?file=123102&path=./pix/123/&rs=25&showpage=1&mysession=2851628426720&width=&height=

PS The list of the 1825 residents of Ballydribbeen are at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/reels/tab//004625671/004625671_00011.pdf

Try https://www.facebook.com/groups/1896426497260664 Dingle Peninsula Genealogy - there's a few with Neligan connections there. A DNA test would be helpful...

Looks like Michael might be Eugene's father, though you have to careful as the Browne's owned a Castlefarm in co Limerick too.
PRONI Reference :  D4151/B/31/1
Title :  Lease of lands in Castlefarm from Thomas
Dates :  20 July 1769
Description :  Lease of lands in Castlefarm from Thomas Browne, 4th Viscount Kenmare, to Michael Mahony of Cloonagh, Co. Kerry.

Also the following confirms the De Courcy link, plus lots more at http://www.odonohoearchive.com/a-sketch-of-molahiffe-castle-and-the-manor-of-molahiffe/#_ftn21

"In June 1823, Court of Exchequer, Fagan a. De Courcy and others, ‘from 29th September next, the House and Demesne of Castle Farm in the County of Kerry now in the possession of the Defendant, Maurice De Courcy.’  In 1826: Fagan, a. De Courcy and others, ‘Set up and let for three years pending this cause from 29th September next the House and Demesne of Castlefarm in the County of Kerry.’  In 1829: Ellen Fagan, Plaintiff, Maurice De Courcey and others, Defendants, Court of Exchequer, 10 July 1829, ‘Set up and Let for three years from 29th September next, the House and Demesne of Castlefarm in the County of Kerry.’

In 1825, in the Court of Exchequer, Ellen Fagan, Plaintiff, Maurice De Courcey and others, Defendants, ‘Set up to be Let for three years, from 25th March next, the Lands of Molahiffe as heretofore in the possession of Maurice, John, Andrew and Daniel Brien.’   In 1828, the lands were in the tenancy of Daniel Supple Esq.  In 1831, the lands of Molahiffe, in the tenancy of Daniel Supple Esq, were let in the matter of Fagan, Decourcy and others."

Also from the Limerick wills index there is:
"Courcey, Mary (widow), Castlefarm, co. Kerry 1798"

That's great stuff Tish.

Eugene was always the mystery man. How did he become the freeholder of Castlefarm? If he was a Catholic that would have to be after 1782 when the Penal Laws were relaxed

I had seen that lease before. The land at Rynvark and Kilfarnogue was held by the Trants on a 99 year mortgage dated 27th September 1681.

I suspect the reason that Peter and Mary married in Stranraer is that one was COI and the other RC.

Got that wrong. He is alledgedly the son of James Mahony of Clahane, second son of Donogh/ Dennis Mahony of Dromore.

The link is only supported by the fact that he was of Clahane.

Andrew was son of James Mahony of The Point, the second son of Daniel Mahony.
