    He registered a batch of freeholders as part of the plan to help his brother. Think it is Fuller who refers to "Registry", 20 Aug and 11 Oct 1815. Think this was burnt in 1922. No register of Co.Kerry voters from this time seems to survive.
    There were similar exertions by other relatives of Rowan.

    Arthur Cashel,
    mar Mary Anne ----,
    had issue:

    1. George Henry Cashel, bapt 13 Mar 1827 [Tralee Protestant par records].
