   Jailed in 1928: "James Tangney (35), farmer's son, of Ballinorig, Tralee" was convicted of indecent assault at the Central Criminal Court in 1928.
   He was convicted of the indecent assault of "a young girl" at Ballybeggan outside Tralee, on 13 Nov 1927.
   He already had a long criminal record. The prosecution stated that "the accused man was a notorious ruffian and a menace to the district". He got 2 years in jail.
   See article part 1 and part 2 in Irish Times, March 3, 1928.
   
   He inherited the farm at Ballinorig but it failed.

3. Mary Tangney,
   Maryann Tangney, born 4 Jan 1900, Ballinorig.
   Twin with sister Elizabeth. See birth cert from here.
   She mar 25 Feb 1933, RC church, Tralee, to Jeremiah Carmody and had issue.
   See mar cert. From here.
   Jeremiah Carmody was 2nd cousin of her brother John's wife Catherine O'Callaghan.
   
   Problem with mar cert: Both [Talbot tree] and [Joan Tangney notes] say that Mary Tangney of this family married Jeremiah Carmody of Cloon Glebe. So this must be the 1933 marriage.
   But the 1933 mar cert lists the wife as "Margaret" Tangney of Ballinorig, dau of Michael Tangney. This is unexplained.

   born 12 July 1903, Ballinorig.
   See birth cert.
   She died 13 June 1910, Ballinorig, age 6 yrs.
