Paddy Ennett, of Cappagh, Glenmore [DD Notebook 26, Interview of Nicholas Forristal, of the Mill, Graiguenakill, Glenmore on 13 March 1964]
This farm in Cappagh was very dearly rented 28/= per acre. Occupied by a family called Neill. Gave their name to a variety of spuds known locally as the Jim Neills. They got broke and left the farm. Believed to have gone to America. The farm remained idle for a few years as it was the most highly rented farm in the area. Sometime prior to this Paddy Ennett and his mother came to the Glebe farm of 12 acres in Kilivory, Glenmore. Paddy Ennett took the farm in Cappagh at £1 per acre. He was a young fellow when he came to Kilivory. The rent of the Killivory farm was paid to the Rector of Rosbercon. There is a headstone to the Ennett family in Rathpatrick Church yard [Slieverue]. The house in Killivory was a thatched structure and stood in the field opposite the iron gate as at present.
Old Paddy Ennett was a very decent, straight man, very strict in his dealings. Paid the last ha’penny and expected the same. He didn’t live long in Killivory. On one occasion during the time of the building of the railway link between Ballywilliam to Ross, in the late seventies, Paddy Ennett sent his workman Dick Dwyer to the fair of Ross with a horse to sell. Told him to sell for £5. Duggan heard in Ross that the Railway Company was mad looking for horses. He was approached by the Railway agent looked for £40 and got it. Ennett came in after him and when he heard of the price for the animal he immediately said that the animal was worth no more that the £5. He refused and £40 and only took the £5 from the Railway Company. Strictly honest in his dealings.
Paddy Ennett was married to Mary Coady of Ballycroney (Aunt of Otho Cody). It is assumed that the following are the children of Paddy Ennett and Mary Ennett née Coady, but no surnames were recorded in the interview. [1] Johnny [Ennett] had the following sisters: [2] Peggie [Ennett] married ____ Dooley of Hood’s Grove, Rosbercon; [3] Bridget [Ennett] married Ned Murphy, of Kearneybay, Glenmore; [4] Catherine [Ennett] married Jim Grant, of Ballyvarring Glenmore. They had no family. Jack Grant of Ballytarsnia, Ballyhale, later got their farm. He was a brother of Jim Grant.
