James (Jim) Granville, son of Nicholas as aged 30 in census hereunder married Katie Shanahan. Katie Shanahan was an aunt to John Shanahan, Glin who was married to Hannie ‘The Weaver’ Mulvihill. Hannie was a sister to Paddy ‘The Weaver’ Mulvihill, Tobbertoureen, Moyvane who was married to Mollie Shanahan, Glenagragra. Paddy ‘The Weaver’ married into the Shanahan place. Molly Shanahan’s mother was an aunt to Paddy Faley, Glasha & Glenbawn. The Mulvihill farm was bounding the Lyons farm in Dromreask. Donie Lyons was telling me that the Mulvihill children came across the mountain and along by his place on their way to Ballyguiltenane school. James Granville died at a relatively young age and his widow Katie re-married to a Paddy Granville, Listowel, no relation to James, so I was told by Buddy Feury. It was said that Katie brought him home from Listowel in an ass and cart. James Granville’s house was situated opposite to where a local road known as ‘the new road’ has its intersection with the Glin/Athea road and is still known today as ‘Granville’s Cross’.

(3)Patrick (Patsy) Mullane aged 44 in census, son of Denis and Johanna Scanlon Mullane remained single in life. Patsy lived at Dromreask with his mother Johanna and his sister who was also called Johanna.  Following Johanna’s marriage to Jer Mulvihill (below) a major rumpus (for want of a better word) occurred resulting in Patrick (Patsy) having to vacate the place hence his name not appearing in the 1911 census. Patsy was there up to 1905 as he was  listed as occupier at the birth of Denis Mulvihill. I’m being told he finished up living back in Dirreen with his 1st cousin, Mary Mullane Scanlon. In fact Brian Moriarty, (Brian being the great grandson of Michael Griffin and Mary Mullane) you are correct where you say you found a Patrick Mullane boarding with Timothy Scanlon at Dirreen, Athea.  Timothy Scanlon was married to Mary Mullane, Patrick (Patsy’s) Mullane 1^st cousin as per census hereunder. Timothy Scanlon married into the Mullane home.

v. PATRICK MULVIHILL (son of Hanora4 Feury and Denis Mulvihill)  was born on 30 Mar 1874 in Aughrim, Moyvane, County Kerry. He died on Dec 17th, 1964 in Glin, aged 90 years, a retired tailor. Patrick married Mary Ellen Gallagher, daughter of Edmond Gallagher and Mary McMahon, in 1902. She was born on Sep 11th, 1873 in Queenstown, County Cork. She died on Mar 13th, 1943 in Glin, Co. Limerick.

Notes for Patrick Mulvihill: His godparents were William Dillane and Mary Feury. In the 1901 Census of Ireland, Patrick was a tailor in Labasheeda, Co. Clare, however by 1911 he was married to Mary Ellen Gallagher and was living in Glin, Co. Limerick and also working as a tailor. They had nine children (all boys), three died at birth or very young. Many of these are buried near Labasheeda, most likely at Kilkerin, where there is a small church, already in ruins by 1837. This church has a burial-ground only used for the interment of children. By 1911 six children were alive, but two of the boys, who had been born between 1902 and 1911 had already died. At this time, Edward Gallagher, Mary’s father was living with the family in Glin.

Notes for Mary Ellen Gallagher: In the 1911 Census of Ireland ( Co. Limerick), Mary’s age is given as 36 years, this does not agree with the age in the Kilfergus Burial Register, although the tombstone inscription agrees with the census. Mary’s place of birth in the 1911 census is given as Co. Cork, while her father’s place of birth is given as Co. Limerick. She had siblings born in Glin and one sibling born in England.
