Stack of Co.Kerry

Notes by Nora Stack

Stack is a very common name in Co.Kerry.

Thomas Stack,
[GROI] lists him as "herdsman", of Kilcreen, Finuge par, nr Listowel, Co.Kerry,
can't see a Stack of Kilcreen branch in [King] in the early 1900s,
this would NOT be "Tom of Killocrim" in [King] (this is Killacrim, Dysert par, not far downstream on opposite bank of River Feale from Kilcreen),
mar 17 Jan 1860 [Listowel RC par records], wit Ellen Moore and Denis Dillon,
to Catharine Moore [or Catherine, of Greenville, W side of Listowel, see map],
listed as "farmer" at son's mar 1896,
had issue:

William Stack,
born Kilcreen, nr Listowel, Co.Kerry [GROI],
"of very humble origins",
bapt 2 Apr 1871, sp William Moore and Joanna Bartle(?) [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, but this may be confusion with bapt,
[GROI] is WRONG to say born 9th May 1871.

Mary Stack, of Kilcreen,
wit William's birth 1871 [GROI],
she was illiterate (signed with a mark).
Ellen Moore,
wit Catharine's mar 1860.
William Moore,
sp William's bapt 1871.
