Kathleen O'Connell (murdered young?) M: Alice Kennedy; F:Patrick O'Connell

[Prue Heron]

There was a inquest into the train accident death which appeared in thr Limerick Chronicle. Unfortunately the coverage of that paper starts too late on Irish Newspaper Archives.
Perhaps the paper would be willing to help.

They are also going to order that death certificate for the 15 year old.  Will keep you posted.

Why would you pay for a copy when it is free online?

I was thinking the same Debra.

There is a Katie here - parents Patrick and Mary but more siblings than described.

I posted this in response to reply #17 but then there were more posts but it is a bit confusing with all the quotes.

Are the parents Patrick and Alice definitely proven?

[Prue Heron]

Wondering if this could be the answer to the murder rumour - with the male witness involved?

Found the inquest! Thanks - posted on here somewhere.

John thinks his father, Patrick, was born in 1905 - later than Kathleen.  There were only two other siblings, Jack and Kathleen.  And he remembers they lived in Charleville.

In that case the family of Patrick O'CONNELL and Alice KENNEDY detailed previously in this thread is not the right family as they had ten children and didn't live in Charleville.

Oh no!  what a coincidence - back to the drawing board.  About to get death cert to see if any more clues on there (Kate train victim),

[heywood]

The train accident was in 1905 and that Kate was 24 yrs.
This does not fit with your first post
