Moorabbey in the Glen of Aherlow
Glenn
of Aherlow:
The Glen of Aherlow (the valley of the River Aherlow) extends about
15 miles from Bansha in the east to Galbally in the west and is between
the Galty Mountains and the Slieve na Muck hills. The Coach Road provides
a beautiful view of the area from from the statue of Christ the King,
which was erected by the local community. The church of Christ the
King is located in Galbally. This route was used by Bianconi's
Coaches which were the first to offer public transportation in
Ireland. The glen was an important pass between Tipperary and
Limerick, and became a hideout for the "Raparee", the Irishmen who were dispossessed
of their lands and became outlaws.
See our Family Research page for
more information and photos of the Galbally church.
Magner Castle:
Castlemagner, County Cork, Ireland (near Kanturk)
"Originally Magnel.
Castlemagner in Co. Cork was formerly Magnelstown. Many Magnels were in
Co. Cork in the thirteenth century as is known from the Justiciary
Rolls; and it is where families of the name have been associated ever
since. It had become Magner by the sixteenth century and is numerous in
the Tudor Fiants. In the next century it is found listed in the
"census" of 1659 as a principal Irish name in the Co. Cork
barony of Kilmore and Orrery; and three years earlier two of the name
were transplanted as Papists from Co. Cork to Connacht. Maingnéir is
the Irish form of this name." Edward
MacLysaght, More Irish Families. Dublin, 1996, page 151.
