Major Denis Bingham's son William birth information

[Bob Queensland]

Hi Hallmark ... thanking you ... still digesting your information
So far .. Maj Denis living in Dublin Dec 1792 .... married to Elizabeth Nash of Cloontakilla who must have been from previous generations to the Elinor Elizabeth Nash who married Maj Denis's grandson Denis in 1846 (maybe a distant relative) ... Maj Denis was a descendant of the marriage of John Bingham to Frances Shaen (half heiress to Shaen Estates) one of two daughters of Sir Arthur and Susanne Shaen.... I did read about Binghamstown House ... it was leased to RC Rev Lyons prior ... maybe brothel a type of payback after Dublin libel court cases of 1833....sorry but am finding legibility and grammar of the writings difficult to decipher at the moment ... a purchase of land??

Hi guys ... still trying to link the 1662 acres owned in 1876 by my great grandfather Arthur Shaen Bingham to part of the Shaen Estate inherited by Maj Denis Bingham (Illegitimate son William - Great Great Grandfather still difficult and almost impossible to find birth information)

Sir Arthur Shaen married first, Jane, daughter of Sir Samuel Hele, Baronet of Fleet, Co. Devon but by her had no issue.

He married secondly, Susanna, daughter of Morgan Magan, Esq. of Togherstown, Co. Westmeath and by her had three daughters, two who survived him when he died 24 June 1725.

The eldest daughter, Frances Shaen married 1 June 1738, John Bingham of Newport, Co. Mayo, a descendant of Sir Henry Bingham, former Governor of Connaught. The youngest daughter, Susanna, married twice, first in 1739 to James Wynne of Hazelbrook, Co. Sligo, who died in 1748 without issue.

She married secondly, 23 February 1750, Henry Boyle Carter of Castle Martin, Co. Kildare and great grandson of Thomas Carter, distinguished in the service of King William.
 
Susanna Shaen Carter survived her husband and died at her residence. North Saint George St., Dublin, October 1807, at a very advanced age.

Susanna Magan Shaen married Robert Dillon of Clonbrock following the death of her husband and subsequently became the grandmother of the first Lord Clonbrock.

A deed of release made the 14th of December 1792 between the Right Honorable Robert, Lord Clonbrock, Denis Bingham, Esquire and John Bournes of Stonefield, Gentleman, reveals that the lands of Carrownaglough (Stonefield) were granted to John of Stonefield for the sum of £240.

"Major" Denis Bingham died in a shooting accident in the first half of the nineteenth century.

The castle was destroyed by the IRA in 1925 and there is a reasonable chance Denis was buried there and the IRA wouldn't have been concerned about moving gravestones etc in the Chapel!

Quite the opposite and they were most likely locals.....

Thank you Hallmark .. I'll have to plan a journey to the area and explore the remains of the site to satisfy my quest to discover my g g g grandfathers gravesite ....I have recorded your information into the Shaen roots of my family as I still chase William and his linkage ....

Thanks Hallmark ... thats interesting .. makes his birth 1761ish and sale of lands advertised prior to building Bingham Castle and Binghamstown ... I wonder how much was sold .... may have got sufficient sold to finance his buildings etc ..... also my G Grandfather Arthur Shaen Bingham had a fair bit in Doolough around the Lodge I believe.... three months ... couldn't have been too heavy an offence??
