Moneygall 1840s-1850s / school
OffalyCullenwaine (Offaly)
My great-great grandparents, Michael Harty and Catherine Brereton Harty, lived in or near Moneygall through the 1840s and 1850s until they emigrated to the USA (Chicago) 1856-58. They raised a large Catholic family in Ireland and I believe they lived on the north side of Moneygall’s Main Street (R445) from at least 1844-1851.
I understand there was a school building in Moneygall from about 1800. If anyone knows about 19C schooling in Moneygall or can point me to any research sources, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
