BOOK – The Kerry Chain – The Limerick Link (Ireland to Renfrew County, Ontario)

By Carol Bennett-McCuaig  

This edition published by Global Heritage Press, Carleton Place, 2022
Originally published by Juniper Books Ltd, Renfrew, 2003
Between the years 1823 and 1875 a large number of families from Ireland’s County Kerry and County Limerick, many of them inter-related, arrived in Renfrew County, Ontario. Many of them had first lived in the counties of Lanark and Carleton to the south, before making the move to join compatriots and relatives in the newly opened townships. These chain migrations involved both Catholics and Protestants. This book documents that migration with much detail about individuals and families. While the author appears to have been the first to uncover the Kerry chain, it has never been any secret that many of the people who settled in the Mount St Patrick area were from West Limerick. Carol McCuaig has found that many of the surnames are repeated in both the North Kerry and West Limerick groups, who lived within a short distance of each other in Ireland. This book will be of interest to both the family historian and those engaged in Irish immigration studies.     More information including Index

A two-storied brick house was situated directly across the road from these lanes of houses, and it was in this house Mick Egan lived. During this time the rear part of the brick house was used to accommodate some of the teachers at nearby Clounleharde National school. He house had to be demolished as it was deemed unsafe following a fire.  On July 3rd, 1967, Clounleharde School closed its doors for the final time and the thirty-six pupils who attended there were taken by bus to join Ballyhahill National School.

Mick & Catherine had a shop in one of the lane of house’s which was demolished circa 1960 to make way for their new abode which is situated right next to the cross-roads.

Mick Egan & Catherine Dillane had one daughter Margaret (Peggy) Egan. Peggy married JIM (JIMMY ‘LIZ’) ENRIGHT, Clounleharde. Jimmy died on February 3rd, 2005. His wife Peggy died July 19th, 2005.

As far as I know all the lanes of brick houses are now demolished. Some of the tenants of those houses back then were as follows – Stephen O’Sullivan. Next to Stephen lived Paddy O’Sullivan. A Mrs. O’Connell nee O’Shaughnessy lived in the house before Paddy. Harry Riordan from Dirreen is the present owner. Martin Dillane hereunder lived in one of them as well before he built a new house next to the school.

2. LIAM RUADH2 DILLANE (?1 Dillane.) was born circa 1750 in Kinard Glin County Limerick. He died after 1820 in Kinard Glin County Limerick.

Notes for Liam Ruadh Dillane:

He was the great uncle to Mary King’s, William Dillane. He was known as ‘ fear mor leabhar agus togha scolaire ‘. ( a great man for books and the best of scholars) The Glin Irish Poet Sean Ban Aerach O’ Flanagain lived at Kinard with him in his later years. Sean was born in 1740 and died in 1820. He is buried in Kilfergus cemetery in the same grave as my ancestor Tom ‘Captain Steele’ Langan of 1798 notoriety. Liam worked in the castle library. One day when he was putting his books in order Giobuineach said to him “I would prefer a basket of potatoes to them”. Liam quietly replied, “A pig would be in one mind with you John.” From the letters of Thomas F Culhane. 

Liam Ruadh2 Dillane had the following child:

i. THOMAS3 DILLANE. (Liam Ruadh2 Dillane, ?1 Dillane.) Thomas was married MARGARET MULVIHILL.

Thomas Dillane and Margaret Mulvihill had the following child:

i. MARY4 DILLANE (Thomas3 Dillane, Liam Ruadh2 Dillane, ?1 Dillane) was born in 1803 in Kinard, Glin, Co. Limerick . She died on 19 Mar 1890 in Kinard, Glin aged 87 years. She married John (Jack) Hogan about 1836 in Chapel of Glin, Glin County Limerick.

Limerick, the witnesses being – Patrick Shaughnessy & John O’Brien. She was born on 13 Nov 1844 in Ireland. I’m almost certain Catherine was born at Ballyengland, Askeaton, Co. Limerick. I’m working on the hypothesis  that she was from that area as there were families of the Mulcair’s residing there at that time, also Shaughnessy’s. Patrick Shaughnessy was also a witness at another one of the Mulcair weddings. The registrar didn’t give Catherine’s address, on her marriage certificate (not to mention the scribble) but seeing that she got married in Robertstown church,  Robertstown would be no more than a mile or so from Ballyengland. Eily Hogan, Main St. Glin confirmed to me today Feb 9th, 2023 that Catherine did indeed come from around Borrigone. Catherine died on Jun 16th, 1916 at Kinard, Glin, her widower John Hogan present at her death.. (George Langan)
