I am looking for any information on my Great Grandfather John Lee of Barna Pallasgreen who married Hanora O Dwyer c1800. John died of cholera c1826. Hanora was evicted by the landlord and she moved to Tour Newport Co Tipperary with her family to her sister or cousin Margaret? who was married to John Kennedy of Tour Newport. John Kennedy gave her some waste or commonage land to rear her family. They had 5 boys and 3 girls that I know off. The boy?s names were Robert, Patrick, John, Daniel and Michael. I don?t know the girls names. John and Daniel were baptised in Templebraden Catholic Church in 1811 and 1815. Michael was baptised in 1826 in Newport Catholic Church. She might have been pregnant with Micheal when they moved. I am trying to find the name of the landlord in the Pallasgreen at that time that would have evicted them? The birth dates of Robert and Patrick? I presume they were older than John and Daniel as I could not find them in the baptismal records in Templebraden Church. I have no information on Honora O Dwyer, would like to get some information on her side of the family? Also I would like to find out more about John Kennedy and his wife in Tour Newport and the names of John and Hanora?s daughters? I know it?s a lot to ask but any info would be grateful

  • Hi Tim,

    Patrick Lee was my great great grandfather and I believe he is the brother of your great grandfather Robert Lee. Patrick Lee married Winifred Carr and they lived in Toor. Patrick and Winifred had nine children including Bridget, Mary and Ellen who were mentioned as attending school in Toor in the 1860s. Their two eldest children were called Hanora and John. Their son Edmond was my great grandfather. I had heard from my father that one of the Lee ancestors was Protestant and from a well-off family but was disinherited after marrying a Catholic. Do you know if there was a link between John Lee from Barna and the Protestant Lee family from Barna? The link below tells a story of an Edward Lee of Barna who was disinherited and I wondered if you knew if there was a connection. Do you have any information on the other siblings of Patrick and Robert?
