Kilcloney evictions
« on: Friday 31 December 21 18:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone - i recently discovered that my ancestors (kielys/Kealys) were involved in an eviction from Kilcloney by Viscount Beresford around 1840.
I read that they were evicted, yet I know that they continued living there. Does anyone know anything about this?

For the OP, here's the location of the townland of Kilcloney - east of the village of Goresbridge and north of the village of Borris.

Ray needs to make another couple of posts before the rootschat system kicks in and he can accept PMs. His mailbox isn’t really full.  :)

Hi rayjk ,

Was talking to local historian who wrote the article re. the Kilcloney eviction .
He would have a connection to the Kealy/ Kiely family you mention .

Can pm you his email/ number if you make another couple of posts on the site .

Hi guys - sorry its taken me so long to reply - yes id love to hear more. As I said my main query is that after my Kiely ancestors were evicted, they must have been reinstated fairly quickly as they lived there until the 1930's. So what happened?
