Help with document writing please.
« on: Wednesday 19 June 13 08:15 BST (UK) »
Hi, I've recently come across a document for the arrests of my two 4x g grandparents in Tipperary 1841. However for the like of me I cannot fully decipher the writing. It says " Sent to..... Sessions"
I'm unsure if the place they were sent was Cashel, but misspelled  with a ll, or something different. It could also be Carhill or Curhill, but I'm unable to find any place name in Tipperary that matches.
Both were tried and sentenced in Tipperary, but it only mentioned the county by name with no exact location.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Sharon

I'm thinking you might be right Carol. Cashel was my first thought but I didn't want to be presumptuous. Looking at the end of the word there is no 'dot' over the i, if that was what it was supposed to be, but the 'i' in sessions is dotted. Also if it is an 'e' then it's not written very clearly, but neither is the 'e' in sent.

Seriously, you'd think they would have had some consideration for us poor researchers a century or two down the track.  ::)

I'd still love to hear of any other options somebody might have to offer though............just in case.

Looks just like Cashill to me - and if there is no such place it could easily refer to Cashel

It says here that " Quarter-sessions are held at Cashel , Clonmel, Nenagh, Roscrea, Thurles and Tipperary" and that was dated 1911.

Yes, the sessions were always held in the cities or larger outlying towns, so I think it might just be Cashel but with slightly illegible handwriting and poor spelling - thanks for that Carol :)

Now the bigger question is, from where were they sent ???  :-\

thanks for all your input folks - much appreciated.  :)
