Abbeyleix blacksmith

[LimerickLad]

Thanks for the reply

My Great grandfather was Daniel Carty who was a blacksmith and had his forge and house  in Tullyroe near Abbeyleix.  The building still exists and has been renovated and occupied by the current owner.  His father was  also called Daniel.  Daniel (ggrandfather), married a lady called Mary McEvoy. The people who ran Mooney's Pub are his descendants and cousins of mine. My grandfather was a John Carty (McCarthy) who trained as a blacksmith but worked in the railway and ended up in Limerick where he met my grandmother.

Looking back I posted some of this already apologies.

Thank you all for your contributions, John Carty appears in the 1901 census for Tullyroe but is gone 1911.  He was in Queenstown Cobh with the railway and then on to Limerick.  He wife's family, Walsh were a railway family and ran a boarding house near the station.  How matches are made.  Here is a photo of John.  I never knew him as he dies in 1930.

So , is this the wedding of John McCarthy to Annie Walsh - 10 November 1915?

This presumably was Annie Walsh in the 1911 census.

Yes you have it all there, Queen St was renamed Davis St in the 1920s.  No 9 still exists, no 8 was owned by Annie Walsh's sister and was still in the family up to 3 years ago.  John and Annie's house still exists in Upper Cecil St.  Quite close to the railway station.

Thank  you for your interest.
