Hurley bits


    These are three tablets (sorry, each photographed at the time - 2017 - in two bites trying for the best resolution) that are on the back outside wall of St Patricks RC Church in Dunmanway Co Cork, concerning a part of the powerful MAC CARTHY Glas sept, and confirming their connection by marriage to the HURLEYs of Ballinacarriga.  The first one reads...

"Sacred to the Memory of Cormac MacCarthy Glas, son of Felim, son of Tadhg-an-Duna, last Chieftain of Glean-na-croim, and of his wife, Angelina, daughter of Randal oge Hurley of Ballinacarriga Castle, in the neighbouring parish of Ballimoney."




     The next two links the above in turn to the English POPHAM family.  This is not a transcript of them but covers everything that's on the stones, plus some....

Donal Glas, of Glean-na-Croim: son of Donal; m. Harriet Alexandrina Bassett, youngest dau. of the late Admiral Sir Home Popham, KM., G.C.B., by whom he had issue:—I. Henry Popham Tenison, a captain in the Royal Artillery, who died unm. aged 28 yrs.; II. Elizabeth Radcliff, who d. at Bath, aged 15 yrs.; and III. Florence Strachan. This Donal Glas, d. at Southampton, England, in 1884. He was a gentleman of refined taste and high literary attainments; author of the Siege of Florence, Massaniello, the Free Lance, Life and Letters of Florence MacCarthy Mór, and Historical Pedigree of the Sliochd Feidhlimidh.








     These are two headstones we found in 2017 in the old Kilbarry burial ground just west of Dunmanway, which as best I can see, has never been transcribed by the Cork County people who have done so many others (see forthcoming web links).


    These are of the Dromdrasdil HURLEY family - see No 3 in "The Hurley Contenders" under "Data Files - Irish" down to the left.
