Faction Fight Moneyhore 1828 - Death of James Cowman

[tomahurra]

Looking for information the death/murder of James Cowman at a fair in Moneyhore 29th March 1828

[culbaire]

There is a brief mention in Patrick Hennessy's book Davidstown Courtnacuddy (A Wexford Parish). It gives the date where a man named Cowman got killed as 25th March and says he was aged 24.

thank you now I can work out when he was born - also to do you have idea about a pub in Moneyhore

[culbaire]

From same source. Thomas Cloney and his wife Honoria  were the owners of the public house in Moneyhore at the time of the fairs. It was the only licensed one in the parish. Honoria was the last licensee and she was killed on 30th Dec 1875 when the horse's car she was travelling in overturned.
