What about CERG's ancestors? Briefly, his father was a senior officer in the RIC who 'distinguished' himself in subduing a Fenian disturbance in the Potato Market in Drogheda (see https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.91350/2015.91350.The-Mysteries-Of-Ireland_djvu.txt for a reference easily found on the web; I have a more readable and thorough reference, but not to hand).
The Roche's (on his mother's side) were of the family of bankers of Limerick & Cork, descendants also of the Wild Geese family of de Lacy and of O'Brien's of Aran ..

I see there is a nice summary of the 1901 census entries for Dungloe Town (Templecrone), Co Donegal here: http://donegalgenealogy.com/1901dungloet.htm

Hello, Shanachai,
I just stumbled on your postings relating to one of my great-grandfathers, CER Gardiner. Reading this scandal prompted me to join RootsChat.
Well done on gathering this material, much of which is new to me. I knew that he spent some time in the Congo and in Arklow (where my grandfather, Charles O'Connor Gardiner, was born) before moving to Donegal and eventually retiring to Kill Avenue (Dun Laoghaire).
I knew my grandfather (COC Gardiner), but not his father (CERG). Some of CERG's grandchildren are living (including my mother) and they knew their grandfather.
I look forward to hearing from you!
