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]),

William Pembroke Mulchinock,
born 1820, Protestant,

(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.
