From Google Maps.

Thomas Stack,
of Listowel area, Co.Kerry,
mar 17 Jan 1860 [Listowel RC par records] to Catharine Moore [or Catherine, of Greenville, W side of Listowel],
though this reading says it was Stack who was from Greenville, not Catharine Moore, (todo) see original,
he is listed as of Listowel at children's bapts 1861-64,
listed as of Kilcreen, Finuge par, nr Listowel, Co.Kerry, at son's bapt 1867 and son's birth 1871 [GROI],
listed as of Greenville at son's bapt 1871,
listed as "herdsman" at son's birth 1871 [GROI],
he is listed as "farmer" at son's mar 1896,
their dau is listed as of Ennismore (which is the district containing Killacrim) at mar 1900,
he must have died pre-1911 (if this is his wife in census below),
she must be the widow "Cathrine Stack" who is listed at Killacrim, Dysert par (SW of Listowel), in [Census, 1911], she is age 83 (born 1828, Co.Kerry), married 50 years ago (1861), with 4 children born, all living as at 1911, with a son Thomas Stack living with her,
(todo) try death of Catherine Stack, [GROI] 3rd qr 1916, age 90 (born 1826), Listowel, 5 240,
(todo) search graveyards in and near Listowel,
had issue:

1. Michael Stack,
   bapt 15 May 1861 [Listowel RC par records],
   can't find him in [Census, 1911],
   he is probably NOT the Michael Stack listed with family at Gortcurreen, nr Listowel, in 1911 census, since age given as 55, and also says he is married 28 years to Margaret, so this looks like Michael son of Patrick who married in Duagh in 1882,
   (todo) the latter must be mar of Michael Stack, Listowel, [GROI] 1st qr 1882, 5 399.

   
   

2. Mary Stack,
   born Co.Kerry, bapt 6 March 1864 [Listowel RC par records],
   listed as of Ennismore (which is the district containing Killacrim) at mar,
   mar 9 June 1900 [her age 36, him age 30], [Listowel RC par records]
   to Patrick Mahony [of "Banmore", born 1870, Co.Kerry, son of James Mahony, farm labourer, and Catherine Stack],
   "Banmore" would be either Banemore, Kilfeighny par, nr Listowel, or Benmore, Rattoo par, nr Listowel, unless it is an 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 1901 Mary and Patrick are living Bromore, Kilconly par, nr Listowel, Co.Kerry,
   they are listed at Bromore West, Kilconly par, nr Listowel, Co.Kerry, in [Census, 1911], he is "farmer", his parents living with them,
   wonder if she is "Mary O'Mahony" of Bromore, died Sept 21, 1942, age 76 (born 1866) who is bur in Killehenny Cemetery, Ballybunion, Co.Kerry,
   (todo) try death of Mary Mahony, Listowel, [GROI], 3rd qr 1942, age 78 (born 1864), vol 5 p 231,
   had issue:
   1. Patrick Mahony, born 1901, Co.Kerry,
      bapt 30 March 1901 [Ballybunion RC par records].

   2. Catherine Mahony, born 1906, Co.Kerry.
   3. Martin Mahony, born 1907, Co.Kerry.

   4. 2 other children, Mahony, died pre-1911.

   
   

3. Thomas Stack,
   bapt 25 August 1867 [Listowel RC par records],
   must be him who is listed at Killacrim with mother in [Census, 1911], he is listed as age 41 (born 1870, Co.Kerry), agricultural labourer, single,
   he must be "Tom of Killocrim" listed in [King] in the early 1900s.

   
   

4. William Stack,
   born unknown date, [GROI] is WRONG to say born 9th May 1871, because we have his bapt confirmed (see following),
   born Kilcreen, nr Listowel, Co.Kerry [GROI],
   "of very humble origins",
   bapt 2 Apr 1871 [Listowel RC par records],
   [DMP records] confirm this is him, he provided them with a bapt cert instead of a birth cert,
   [Notes of Nora Stack] said born 2nd Apr 1871, this may be true, or may be confusion with bapt.

This might be an earlier marriage of Thomas Stack if (as one reading has it) it was him who was from Greenville rather than Catharine Moore:

Thomas Stack, of Greenville,
mar 2 October 1850 [Listowel RC par records] to Ellen Dinneen.

This might be our Catharine Moore (note also she called one of her sons William), though it would make her quite old having 4 children (age 36 to 46):

William Moor, of Moyvane,
mar Catherine Hanrahan and had issue:

1. Catherine Moor, bapt 7 November 1824 [Listowel RC par records].
