Pembroke of Co.Kerry

The name Pembroke also appears in Co.Kerry:

• [Griffiths Valuation] shows the surname "Pembroke" in Tralee par, and in Ratass par (or Rathass) on the E side of Tralee.

• Pembroke St, Tralee, Co.Kerry, is named after the Pembroke Mulchinock family. Pembroke Square, Tralee, must be after them too. Of this family is William Pembroke Mulchinock, author of "The Rose Of Tralee", but apparently the street is after the family, not specifically after him. Don't know how "Pembroke" came into their name:
  • Micheal Mulchinock,
    wealthy Protestant merchant, of West Villa, Annagh, Tralee, Co.Kerry (see [Houses of Kerry]),
    mar Margaret McCann,
    he died 1828,
    family later lived at Cloghers House, Annagh, Tralee (see [Houses of Kerry]),
    had issue:
    1. William Pembroke Mulchinock, born 1820, Protestant,
       (todo) see pay to view article (from here) possibly on his genealogy,
       author of "The Rose Of Tralee" (and here), based on his doomed love for the Catholic Mary O'Connor,
       inspiration for the Rose of Tralee festival,
       this article describes him as a friend of Bob Blennerhassett [unidentified],
       he was supposedly forced to leave Ireland after an incident in a Tralee election,
       this article says it was when: "The long monopoly by the Denny's of the parliamentary Borough of Tralee was at last being challenged by O'Connell for the forthcoming election. Maurice O'Connell, Dan's son, was to contest the seat.", except this is wrong because first, the Dennys sometimes held but never monopolised the seat, and second, O'Connell took the seat in 1832 (when William was only a child) and never lost the seat until his death in 1853,
       this story says the election was 1843, except this is wrong because there was no election then,
       the only times O'Connell faced competition were in 1835, 1837 and 1852.
