Searching for connection from Nancy and Maureen Connole to Elizabeth Bushell

ClareEnnistymon (Clare)

Hi,

I'm a relative of Maureen Metcalfe (nee Connole) living in Australia and am looking for help to put some pieces of a family puzzle toghether.

I met Maureen and Tony when I visited Ennistymon in 2003, and Tony took me for a drive around the town and to see what they referred to as the Bushell/O'Brien house. My father's family has roots in Ennistymon via Elizabeth Bushell who moved to Australia. I believe her parents' names were Patrick Bushell and Kate Glynn. Unfortunately my dad and Mrs Metcalfe have now both passed away, so I can't get details from them.

There are two things I'd like help with. Firstly, what is the address in Ennistymon of the Bushell/O'Brien house? I've attached a photo of it that I took when Tony took me there. Secondly, how was Mrs Metcalfe connectedto the Bushells, in particular my ancestor Elizabeth? Any help you can give me would be hugely appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing from someone,

Marea

Hi I ve checked with my cousin and unfortunately she knows nothing about the o briens side.  She knows mrs joe connole grew up in the house in your picture and her brother lived in it until he died.  The house was then sold
