---- Foley,
NOT Lynch, NOT Foley "Lynch",
of Clogheen, Kilronan par, N Co.Waterford
[nr Ballymacarbry,
few miles SW across the border from
Clonmel, Co.Tipperary],
mar Honor Casey,
miller (woollen mills),
owned several woollen mills in Clonmel,
though no Foley listed in CLONMEL
in
[Pigot's directory, 1824],
and no Foley listed in CLONMEL
in
[Slater's directory, 1846],
poss. sent his son-in-law
James O'Meara
to Limerick as his agent,
had issue:
- Hanora Foley, or Honora,
NOT Margaret,
born 1822, or poss. 1818, Clogheen,
her children's bapts in [St.John's, Limerick] list her as
(most frequently) Hanora,
and also
"Mary",
her children's bapts in [St.Michael's, Limerick] list her as
Hanora and Honora,
the
[GROI]
lists her as Hanora at
Joe's birth 1864
and Honora at
Nan's birth 1866,
she is "Honora" on grave,
Norrie Buxton
remembered her as "Norrie Foley"
- she is certainly the ultimate origin of the family name Norrie because it is
derived from her granddaughter Honora O'Sullivan
- perhaps she was known as Norrie herself,
mar James O'Meara and had issue.
- She possibly had a sister, Katie Foley.
Fr. Paddy O'Mara
said that James O'Meara's mother was descended from the Grubb family.
But it is more likely that it was his wife's family
and they worked for the Grubbs
rather than were related to them:
Samuel Grubb,
of Quaker
family, born 1750,
his family were
wealthy and prominent millers
(think mainly corn millers)
at Cloghen and Clonmel, Co.Tipperary.
Many Grubbs listed in CLONMEL
in
[Pigot's directory, 1824],
and in CLONMEL
in
[Slater's directory, 1846].
