For two generations, my family was connected to the MacNamara Family of Ennistymon House.

My paternal Great Great Grandfather & Great Grandfather ~ Patrick Edward Reilly (1799-1872) and his son, Henry Patrick Reilly, Esq (1838-1894) were the Land Agents of Ennistymon House.

I am very eager to learn more information about both of them ~ especially where they are buried and their careers as Land Agents .....

My other paternal Great Great Grandfather, John Harnett Milward, Esq (1817-1870) was Head of the Bank of Ireland in Ennis.

I am also very interested in learning more about his life and family, including his burial place.

Thank you!
