Obituary and funeral reports 8/7/1930 of Francis Jane are listed on www.Limerickcity.ie/Library/LocalStudies
Search for Muspratt in Alphabetical Listings under Obituaries.

As the library online obituary list  only goes to 1929 at present, you can email Mike Maguire at library and request copies of these.

brilliant thanks

 Hi,

I think we might have a link here with Handel Rogers. My great grandfather was brendan Rogers ( born c 1860) the titular organist at the Pro Cathedral and I think this was either  his father or grandfather.

 Do you have any more info on him?

Thanks

Here's an interesting bit about his time as organist in Limerick (also explains how he met the wife)-

I think Nellie Muspratt is his 2nd wife as Handel Rodgers was the father of Frances his first wife i think.

Dear Mr.Grinch, Shanew, aghadowey, Sio and Supermiffy.
I believe this post maybe 8 years old but I have just happened upon it. I am absolutely blown away! I am Frank Muspratt's great-grandson. His daughter Eileen was my Grandma and I was very close to her as a child - she died when I was 10. She was the most extraordinary lady - as was my Great Aunt Gladys - who died when I was 17.
My Father is Eileen's only son - he also died when I was a child. My Mother as well.
I have always felt very drawn to my Irish roots in Limerick and I'm also the beneficiary of an extraordinary musical legacy. On my Mother's side, I am the great grandson of the world famous concert pianist Adelina De Lara and on my Father's side, the great grandson of the great Professor of Music and organist of Limerick Cathedral - Frank Muspratt. I am so happy to have inherited the musical genes and have created my own musical legacy now; as a singer-songwriter, producer and poet and as a teacher, founder and Principal of the Harmony School.
Thank you for all this amazing info on my family in Limerick and my esteemed great grandfather. Because all my family had died before I was 18, I am keen to know more. I have incredible info + Glady's and Eileen's diaries. I would like to look at all these links on this thread, but some no longer work. If any of you can rectify this I will be most grateful. Meanwhile, I am clearly related to one or two of you - Mr.Grinch and Supermiffy - and I'm keen to link up with my distant relatives -  especially regarding the Muspratt's. I'm happy to share all I know. I am also curious to find out how Eileen and Gladys ended up in the South of England (where I come from). My Grandma earned a degree at Cambridge university at a time when that was a much rarer thing. Her and Gladys were also 2 of the founding members of the Cat's Protection League (as an interesting anecdote!)
I include a photo with this message - my credentials so to speak. A plaque I proudly own. Really hope you receive this and are able to re-engage with this post. Best Wishes Jayl De Lara

Welcome to Rootschat  :)
The only link not working is in reply#6.

Don't think this one was posted earlier but not sure it will provide any new details-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
