Campbell,

Attached copies of the 1901 and I911 Irish census for Denis Ralleigh.

Apparently he operated a public house in Cork on retirement.

He was active in enforcing the law in Ennistymon and Sixmilebridge.

Many thanks..I’ve visited Cork and the pub premises are now a brasserie..

my granny is the Bridget you mention.

Would the old RIC premises still exist in either towns?

would the infant Denis be buried in sixmile bridge?

Campbell

Campbell,

The old RIC building in Sixmilebridge is still standing. It is now a Credit Union Office.

To see it you have to google Sixmilebridge Credit Union Offices, as the file is too large to transmit on this Site.

I have no knowledge as to the Ennistymon station now. From memory I think it was in Parliament Street.

Brilliant.. 

I’ve been steered towards a Colm Hayes here in Ennistymon.. local business owner who might be able to help with it.

would you have anything on Dennis Ralleigh senior ?

Ralleigh - Denis - No. 30395 - Service Record in the Royal Irish Constabulary - 1865 to 1895.

To County Clare 1879. Promoted to Sergeant in Ennistymon - November 1883 and transferred to Sixmilebridge.

Pensioned September 11th 1895.

Service Record too large for Posting.

Cannot thank you enough for your help ..… next stop Clare local studies in Ennis.

next mystery is where the eldest son Francis Ralleigh went to after about 1913… he was a telegraph operator at the GPO in Dublin…

Campbell,

Attached a report of the undertaking Denis Ralleigh gave to ensure there would have been no increase in Public Houses in the area.

Small print which is difficult to read.

Best Wishes with your further research.

Campbell,

It appears that Francis J. was lodging at No. 8 St. Patrick's Road, Drumcondra.

Source: 1911 Irish census.
