See
full size.
Thomas Stack,
born 1837 (by census age), Co.Kerry,
of
Listowel area, Co.Kerry.
He
mar 17 Jan 1860
[Listowel RC par records]
to
Catherine Moore [or Catharine, born 1828 or 1831, Co.Kerry].
Mar
wit by Ellen Moore and Denis Dillane.
She (not he) was of
Greenville, W of Listowel, Co.Kerry.
Greenville was not a townland but a house,
Greenville House, in Gortcurreen townland.
Moore (and later Stack) may have worked on the estate.
Thomas is listed as of Listowel at children's bapts 1861-64.
At son's bapt 1867
and son's birth 1871
[GROI]
they are listed as of
Kilcreen, W of Listowel, Co.Kerry.
But at son's bapt 1871,
they are listed as of "Greenville".
Kilcreen
is the townland bordering Gortcurreen,
to the SE side of Greenville House.
"Greenville" and "Kilcreen" in the records may refer to the same place.
He is listed as
"herdsman" at
son's birth 1871
[GROI].
He is listed as "farmer" at son's mar 1896.
At some point they moved to
Killacrim, SW of Listowel, Co.Kerry.
This is definitely a different place to the above.
Their dau is listed as of
Ennismore, SW of Listowel
at mar 1900.
Ennismore townland borders Killacrim to the W.
In the census, Killacrim is considered as in Ennismore district.
"Ennismore" and "Killacrim" in the records may refer to the same place.
They are
listed
at Killacrim
in [Census, 1901].
She is age 70 (born 1831).
He is agricultural labourer.
They can both read and write.
He or his son must be the
"Tom of Killocrim" branch listed in
[King]
in the early 1900s.
Thomas dies, 1911:
He died 31 Jan 1911, "Ennismore", age 74 yrs.
See death cert
from here.
He is "small farmer".
Death registered by son William.
Age is clearly inaccurate
(could not have married 1860).
Catherine is
listed
at Killacrim in
[Census, 1911].
She is widow, age 83 (born 1828).
Can't find death in
[GROI].
She is probably not Catherine Stack, widow of farmer,
who died 29 July 1916, age 90 (born 1826),
at Woodford, SE side of Listowel
(see map).
See death cert.
See here.
Death registered by Pat Stack of Listowel.
Thomas and Catherine
had issue:
- Michael Stack,
bapt 15 May 1861
[Listowel RC par records],

- Mary Stack,
born Co.Kerry,
bapt 6 March 1864

At mar 1900 she is listed as of Ennismore (which is the district containing Killacrim).
She mar 9 June 1900 [her age 36, him age 30]
to Patrick Mahony [born 1870, Co.Kerry].
He was
son of James Mahony, farm labourer, and Catherine Stack (or Kate).
They mar at [Listowel RC church].
At mar he is listed as of "Banmore".
This could be Banemore, Kilfeighny par, near Listowel,
or Benmore, Rattoo par, near Listowel.
Or might be error for Bromore (see following).
Census shows that Mary and Patrick can read and write,
but Patrick's parents are illiterate.
At son's bapt 30 Mar 1901 Mary and Patrick are living
Bromore,
Kilconly par, near Listowel,
Co.Kerry.
They are
listed
in Census, 31 Mar 1901,

- William Stack,
born unknown date,
[GROI]
is WRONG to say
born 9 May 1871,
because we have his bapt date confirmed,
born Kilcreen, W of Listowel, Co.Kerry
[GROI],
"of very humble origins",
bapt 2 Apr 1871
[Listowel RC par records],
sp William Moore and Johanna Burke,
[DMP records]
confirm this is him,
he provided them with a bapt cert instead of a birth cert,
[Notes of Nora Stack]
said born 2 Apr 1871, this may be true,
or may be confusion with bapt.
