Many thanks for the information. My father said his sisters were both interested in music. I understand that they both spent some time in Paris studying music. I believe Evelyn had joined an order of nuns but was still a noviciate when she died. Her sister married and had one son Patrick Ryan.
I came over and visited Baunmore about 25 years ago with their first cousin Patricia Coffey of Birdhill.
I also went to the home of their other first cousin Terrence O Brien, his wife Gertie and daughter Sarah. They showed us the ruins of Toureen Castle.
Once again many thanks for supplying this information.
Patricia, we’ve now added the death notice for your grandfather John Dolan, died in 1913 aged 35 from Addison’s disease. The note at the side explains that the name was originally mis-recorded as James.
Here is an appreciation published in Sept 1913 – https://www.ouririshheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/john-j-dolan-16sept1913.jpg
An article appears in the Limerick Leader on Sept 1st 1916, detailing some matters which ensued following the decease of John – https://www.ouririshheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/limkleader-1stsep16.jpg
You may have seen our front page on Baunmore, which includes the auction listing of your father’s farm some 61 years ago – https://www.ouririshheritage.org/content/category/archive/place/kilfinane-coshlea-historical-society/1911-census-project/bawnmore
My grandmother Mary Walsh [https://www.ouririshheritage.org/content/archive/place/kilfinane-coshlea-historical-society/1911-census-project/mortlestown/walsh-occupants-house-no-9] had a music degree, and had some musical contact with your aunt Evelyn, although whether in a teaching or recreational capacity I’m not exactly sure.
Best wishes.
My name is Patricia Kent (Maiden name Dolan) I am researching my family history. This was the family home of my father James Dolan and his sister Evelyn and Josephine. I know very little of the family history and would be very interested if you know of anyone who could help.
