Drowning at Tullamore.
On Saturday afternoon Alice, aged 13, daughter of Mr James Hewitt, a labourer, whilst trying to cross the footboard fell into the canal at the 27th lock between the land racks, and was drowned.  The body, which had a coupe of marks, possibly caused by passing boats, was recovered at 11:30p.m. by Acting-sergt. Corcoran and some civilians  It was shown by the evidence given before Coroner Conway that no one was to be blamed.  The jury attached a paragraph to their verdict urging upon the Canal Company the necessity of making better provision for the public safety at this dangerous place where several accidents have occurred.

'Heywood', Kiltglassan & Glassy
Than you all so very much for your responses, time and support.

Poor Elizabeth, Lost so young.  I am looking into this branch of the Hewitt / Cunningham family (Tullamore) who are proving very difficult to build a fuller picture of , for reasons shared on previos posts, and then the first sign of light is due to the loss of Elizabeth.

Thank you all again, Slan!

I am looking into the death of Elizabeth Hewitt, aged 13 in 1911
She is recorded as having drowned in the Grand Canal ( 22 April 1911) and i would like to see more Information on this sad Incident
Are there coroner records that are accessible that might provide greater detail

All help and direction appreciated

That’s correct, Gustavius is the Latin form of Augustine

I have a photo of the Keyes children with Father and Mother shortly before she died - I thing Gus was only 8 or so when his mother passed - shortly after this he went to live with his grandparents as he did not like the woman that  his father married.

Thank you for that information it was very helpful - my family also didn't want to talk about my grandfather Patrick as he went to England and stayed there and had a second family but my trace is cold i only know he died in Fulham

Hi Sandra,
Augustine ( Gus) was my Grandfather, who settled in Dublin after serving in the Army until his retirement and then went on to Aer Lingus.
He had a first Son , whom sadly did not survive , named Patrick - possibly after his brother. Augustine has two surviving children - (*), 91, and (*) , late 70’s.
Interestingly, another cousin of (*) and (*) also left limerick only to settle in London ( St. John’s Wood )
I’d love to exchange information and photos if that appeals ?

Speak soon
Marc

Looks like  to me illegitimate, seems to be a case of a son using his father's name even thought his parents were not married.

Yes, i thought that it appeared to read as illegitimate but have no basis for thinking as such - Than you for the responses

This might be the answer to the Illegitimate annotation....
