Ballyveria, Glenmore (1961)
Today, we are going to feature information that Danny Dowling recorded regarding the residents of the townland of Ballyveria around 1961. The most common spelling of this townland locally, as reflected on head stones, is Ballyveria. However, the older records reflect a number of spellings including Ballywairy. The Irish for this townland, according to Kelly’s, The Place Names of the County of Kilkenny (1969, p. 109) is Ballyvaire, Baile Mhaire, or Maire’s homestead. This townland is comprised of 483 acres. Interestingly this is one of the shortest entries by Kelly, and the information above is the total information provided by Kelly concerning this townland.
In the 1830 Griffith’s Valuation Applotment Records the townland was referred to as Ballyveraea and had 3 listed landlords (George Caulfield, Esq.; Mary Anne Tighe, widow; and Hariet (sic) Cuffe) and 12 tenants: Michael Ribby (24 acres); Sylvester Shelley (17 acres); Robert Ryan (30 acres); William Donovan (31 acres); Martin Malone (32 acres); Laurence Carroll and Walter Power (63 acres); John Donovan (34 acres); Richard Grace (34 acres); John Deneefe (30 acres); John Walsh (9 acres); and Daniel Byrne (4 acres). In July 2021 we posted three articles concernings a murder that took place in 1841 involving residents of Ballyveria: (1) The Murder of Michael Ribby (Rigby) of Ballyveria; (2) Murder trial of Patrick Donovan of Ballyveria and
(3) The Sentencing and Execution of Patrick Donovan.
Danny Dowling in 1961 recorded 8 families or households in Ballyveria. Birthdates or birth years are provided for some of the older residents gleaned from available public records. For some time after drafting his notebook, Danny recorded the dates of death or simply recorded that a resident had died or left the townland. The recorded information reveals that in 1961, 36 people resided in Ballyveria with the population comprised of 17 males and 19 females. The Long family was the largest family with eight members in the household. There was one household recorded of a single person living alone (Michael Boyle).

Famed Jumper—The outstanding jumper, Loch Ann Easpaig, bred in Mullinavat, and later sold to the Irish Army, added to his already high reputation as prize winner at various international contests when he won the Grand Prix de la Ville at Nice, Southern France, on Thursday of last week, with a faultless round, and followed this up by winning the Nice International Horse Show event on Sunday last. The rider on both occasions was Commdt. Wm. A. Ringrose, and in the latter competition, Loch An Easpaig was the only entrant with two clear rounds over fourteen fences.]

From Danny’s Files: Glenmore’s Threshing Agreement 1907
Last week found in Danny Dowling’s voluminous files, was the following article, which was published in the Wexford People in 1907. This article highlights an agreement reached in Glenmore concerning the prohibition of intoxicating drink at “threshings, harvestings and hay making.”
The Workmen’s Compensaton Act 1906
The article provides that farmers were now liable for injuries to employees under the recently enacted Employers’ Liability Act (1906). We believe that the correct 1906 Act was the Workmen’s Compensation Act. Previously, in 1880 injured employees were given the right to seek their medical costs due to work related injuries. Although injured employees were given the right to sue their employer for their medical bills the burden of the case remained on the employee. The Workmen’s Compensation Act 1897 replaced the 1880 Act and allowed employees to merely show that they were injured on the job. However, the 1897 Act only covered blue collar, industrial workers. The 1897 Act was replaced and the categories of protected workers was expanded under the Workmen’s Compensation Act 1906. The 1906 Act made insurance mandatory on employers, thus introducing a social insurance scheme. The 1906 Act went into effect on 1 July 1907 and included agricultural workers as well as domestic servants for the first time.
Notwithstanding the legislation and the Wexford People article, while attempting to locate other articles regarding the Glenmore Threshing Agreement, we found an article in the New Ross Standard that squarely placed the Glenmore Threshing Agreement at the feet of Father Thomas Phelan, P.P. of Glenmore. Excerpts from the New Ross Standard are below.
The Wexford People Article
A NEW MOVEMENT IN GLENMORE. SPLENDIDLY INITIATED. We have just heard of the successful initiation on last Sunday, in the important parish of Glenmore, beautifully situated on the banks of our own dear Barrow, of a movement combining the farmers and labourers of the parish in their own interest, in doing away with the custom of giving intoxicating drink at threshings, harvestings and hay-making.
That the movement gives good hopes for success is evident from the fact that on the invitation of the clergy over eighty farmers came forward and signed the following resolution:—”We promise and agree that for the future we shall not give nor accept any kind of intoxicating drink at hay-making, harvesting, and threshings, and that we shall not allow our sons or servants to help at any place where intoxicating drink will be distributed.”
The signing of this resolution by the farmers of a parish is indeed a very healthy sign that they realise the dangers attending their work when drink is distributed, and the increased risk of accidents to workmen, for which they are now liable. Abuses were many in the past. Frequently it was our sad duty to report during each autumn accidents resulting in temporary or permanent injury to workmen, the loss of valuable lives, the consuming by fire of haggards of corn and hay, and the destruction of valuable machinery.
Under the Employers Liability Act every farmer is now liable in law for every accident to his workmen whilst in his employment, and we are not at all surprised to find that the intelligent farmers of Glenmore, under the guidance of their priests, have given the new condition of things full and earnest consideration, and have set themselves to reduce the danger and risks. For the benefit of employers generally it will be useful to point out that if a workman is killed as the result of an accident in his employment the employer is liable for three years’ wages, which Parliament has decided must be not less than £l5O nor more than £300; but if the accident result in temporary or permanent disablement then the employer is legally bound to pay his workman half wages for the whole time of his disablement. These are the main outlines of the recent Act of Parliament. and farmers who wish to study their position should procure a copy of the Act, or, better still, obtain guidance by some barrister. (Wexford People, Sat. 24 Aug. 1907, p. 5)
The New Ross Standard Article
“Mission at Glenmore”—On Sunday evening two priests of the Redemptorist Order, Father Burke and Father M’Hugh, closed a fortnight’s mission in Glenmore. “It was a grand and glorious success from the opening to the close. Old parishioners who have been blessed by many a mission proclaim this to be the most successful of all. It was favoured with delightful weather, an important factor in country missions…Today many parishes might envy the peace and happiness which reign supreme in Glenmore.”
“The temperance movement, initiated a few months previously by the priests of the parish for the abolition of the abominable custom of giving out drink on the occasions of threshings, was steeped home and completed by the invincible eloquence of the missionaries. No true son of St. Patrick, no Irishman possessing a spark of Christianity or love of fatherland, could withstand Father Burke’s seething denunciations of this ruinous custom. Every householder of the parish, no matter what his occupation or social standing has signed, without one single exception, a pledge drawn up Father Phelan, P.P.”
The pledge simply state that “neither to give nor to accept any intoxicating drinks on the occasions of threshings or hay-making, and not to allow either their sons or servants to help in any place where such drink is given.” “The farmers of Glenmore have led the way. May all Ireland follow.”
It also was reported that upwards of seven hundred solemnly pledged themselves to total abstinence for five years. Is Ireland “at last realizing the real bond of slavery?” (New Ross Standard, Fri. 4 Oct. 1907, p. 6)
Was It Honoured?
It is not known if the agreement was honoured, or if it was honoured how long it lasted. Older local farmers have indicated that a barrel of beer was provided at the conclusion of threshings, hay making and harvests for the workers as well as for guests at weddings and funerals. Father Thomas Phelan was instrumental in the renovation of St. James in 1910. See our previous blog post of 2 May 2020 regarding the renovation of St. James and where it was noted that the chapel bell was split in half during the 1907 missions.

The School Collection: Ballyfacey, Glenmore, National School, Local Heroes
Between 1937 and 1939, 5000 primary schools in Ireland participated in recording local information for the National Folklore Commission. Over 288,000 pages were created by students in exercise books. Students in all 26 counties were aksed to collect information ranging from oral history, topographical information, folklore, legends, riddles, pastimes, games, trades and crafts by interviewing their parents, grandparents and neighbours. From 15 November 1937 to 7 December 1938 a dozen students in the Ballyfacey, Glenmore National School, under teacher Domhnall Mac Cárthaigh, participated in the School Collection. The Ballyfacey Glenmore School Collection (Vol. 845, pp 484-596) is available on line, (Roll Number 9880).
The School Collection not only recorded valuable oral histories and traditions, but it also provides the names and addresses of the participating students as well as the persons interviewed. Today, we are going to feature the topic that generated the least number of responses from the Ballyfacey students, the topic entitled “Local Heroes.” While we hoped that the students recorded information concerning the men and women who banded together to stop the Ballyfacey evictions of 1885, or engaged in the more recent War of Independence, this was not the case. (Our previous post of 8 March 2020 provides information on the Glenmore Land League and the Ballyfacey eviction riots). On 26 March 1938, four students recorded information concerning “Local Heroes.” All four students identified athletic or physical abilities with the topic. Three of the students were from Ballyfacey and one was from Haggard.
Jumping the Áth
A local stream called the Áth was “in olden times” jumped for sport. “The part of the stream that was jumped across was about twenty-three feet wide. The best jumper was Marks Walsh who is now about 83 years old,” (William Roche, of Haggard, p. 514). Dick Grace was also identified as a man who jumped the Áth (Eddie O’Connor, Ballyfacy (sic), p 515). Other men who were identified as performing this feat were Tom and Pat Power, of Farnogue and Jack Malone (Mary Aylward, Ballyfacey, p. 513).
Weight Lifting & Throwing
In terms of weight lifting and weight throwing, Ned Moore, of Shambo and Jack Power of Jamestown were identified for their ability to lift heavy stones (Peggy Aylward, of Ballyfacey, p. 513). It was also recorded that Old Paddy Grace lifted the Kilbride stone on his back and brought it up to Grace’s yard and down again on his back. The Kilbride stone was also lifted by Tommy Freyne of Kilbride (Mary Aylward, Ballyfacey, p. 513-514). We know from the information that Danny Dowling (1929-2021) recorded that local men gathered, usually at or near blacksmith forges around the parish, to lift heavy stones to test their strength. As previously discussed in an earlier blog weight throwing was a regular athletic event. Larry Roche, of Haggard, and James Power, of Bigwood were identified as heavy weight throwers (Peggy Aylward, of Ballyfacey, p. 513). Tommy Murphy, of Kilbride, was noted for carrying forty stones (for our international readers a stone is 14 pounds of weight) at Mullen’s threshing (Eddie O’Connor, of Ballyfacy (sic), p. 515). For a previous blog post on weight throwing see our post of 4 July 2020.
Running & Mowing
In terms of running, some current runners and former runners were identified. Peter Egan and Pat Roche of Haggard were good runners in athletic sports as was Tommy Fitzgerald (Mary Aylward, of Ballyfacey, p. 513). “There was once a man named Hollyhawk and he used to beat horses running.” “Pat Roche of Haggard is a good runner he runs at sports and runs about three miles” (Peggy Aylward, Ballyfacey, p. 513).
Men good at mowing were also identified. Ned Long, of Guilcough, was a good mower and was said to mow more than an acre in a day (Mary Aylward, of Ballyfacey, p. 513). Jack Murphy, of Moulerstown, on the other hand was credited with mowing 1.5 acres in a single day (Peggy Aylward, of Ballyfacey, p. 514).
Lastly, only one woman was identified in the topic “Local Heroes.” “Mrs. Statia Dunphy walked to Kilkenny and home again in less than a day” (Mary Aylward, of Ballyfacey, p. 513).
Given the fact that Glenmore had by the 1930’s won several senior county Gaelic football championships it is surprising that none of the Ballyfacey National School students identified any of the persons named above as GAA players. In fact, a review of the items recorded by the students reveals that very few persons were interviewed, or perhaps the persons interviewed, did not wish to have their names recorded. It is also not known what instructions these students received. The students did identify a number of local people with some addresses that may aid researchers particularly as the last publicly available census is from 1911.

From Danny’s Files: The 1837 Killing of Michael Phelan of Rochestown, Mullinavat
In Danny Dowling’s files an article was found which was copied from the Waterford Mail (Sat. 15 June 1839, p. 2). It provides that Laurence Foley, who brutally murdered his landlord, Pat. Phelan, of Rochestown, County Kilkenny in October 1837 evaded arrest for two years. Foley was arrested in County Tipperary and identified by the mother of the deceased. According to the Ballyshannon Herald (Fri. 21 June 1839, p. 3) Foley was arrested by Chief Constable Roney and Head Constable Mason. This is an interesting pre-Famine case because no motive was revealed for the killing although the newspapers at the time drew attention to the fact that the victim was a landlord of the defendant Foley. However, it appears that the victim had a modest holding.
Unfortunately, the Waterford Mail published the wrong name of the man killed, and from the information presented it was not clear which Rochestown in Kilkenny was the home of the victim. The victim was identified as Patt Phelan, Michael Phelan and sometimes Whelan in the newspapers. Knowing that trial accounts often are the more reliable of newspaper information we located reference to the trial of Laurence Foley in the Freeman’s Journal (Wed. 24 July 1839, p. 1). Baron Foster arrived from Clonmel for the Kilkenny Assizes the previous day and opened the Kilkenny Commission in the County Court at 10 a.m. Baron Foster addressed the Grand Jury and stated that he was happy to be able to congratulate them on the state of the court calendar. There were sixteen defendants for trial. He said that it was gratifying to find that agrarian outrages had ceased in County Kilkenny. However, he regretted that of the few cases to be heard there were four homicides. The totality of the report on the Laurence Foley case in this particular newspaper was that he was indicted for the manslaughter of Michael Whelan (sic) and found guilty.
Luckily, the Kilkenny Moderator (Sat. 27 July 1839, p. 20) provided details concerning the case that arose with the slaying of Michael Phelan (sic) near Mullinavat on the 3rd of October 1837. From this article and a review of Griffith’s Valuation we were able to determine that the victim lived in Rochestown, Mullinavat rather than Rochestown, Glenmore. The article provided the names of the jurors that heard the case: Richard Lalor, John Power, Edward Hunt, Edward S. Delaney, John Brenan, Anthony Nugent, James Butler, Emmanuel Fitzpatrick, Nicholas Cahill, Robert Walshe, Daniel Lalor, and Daniel Phelan.
The first witness to give evidence was John Phelan, a brother of the victim. John Phelan testified that the defendant, Laurence Foley, struck his brother Michael two years previously at Moonvoor, near Mullinavat. He had seen the defendant at the Mullinavat fair that day, and the defendant walked part of the way home with John and his brother, the victim. The brothers stopped at Patt Browne’s house on their way home to enquire about shoes that Browne was making for the victim. Soon after they went into Browne’s house the defendant Foley came to the door with a stone in his hand. Browne saw the defendant and as Browne went to push him out of the house the defendant dropped the stone. He then “caught up” a spade. With the help of the brothers, Browne pushed the defendant out of his house. The brothers then pushed the defendant outside the yard and “desired him to go home.” They turned to go back into Browne’s house and the defendant took up a stone and threw it at the victim, Michael Phelan, who was knocked down. John Phelan turned and saw defendant at the yard wall after throwing the stone. He heard one blow. The stone hit his brother in the back of the head. John immediately collared the defendant and tripped him up. When his brother did not rise he called out “murder.” He let go of the defendant and ran to his brother, but his brother could not stand. The victim lived till the following day. He did not see anyone other than the defendant near his brother when his brother was struck.
John Phelan testified that the defendant had taken “a sup” that night, and had been in the Police barracks that evening before he struck the victim. There had been no previous quarrel and he could not say why the defendant struck his brother. After striking the victim the defendant ran away, and the defendant left the place where he had been living. John Phelan admitted that he struck the defendant when he had him collared.
To questioning by the Judge, John Phelan stated that the defendant was not very drunk that night as he was well able to walk and talk when he came to the door with the stone in his hand. John Phelan could not say whether the defendant said anything. Prior to the attack the three men walked about a quarter of a mile together. The defendant called Browne a Whitefoot. John Phelan stated that Browne was a cousin of the Phelan brothers. He admitted they were all in dread of the defendant Foley because he was a bad character. The defendant was their tenant for some ground.
Patrick Browne then testified that he was working in his shop on the evening when the Phelan brothers came in to look for a pair of shoes. They were with him a few minutes when he heard shouting on the street. The defendant came and called the boys out to fight. Browne wanted to keep the defendant out, but the defendant managed to enter his door. Browne wanted the defendant to go home. While Browne was pushing the defendant out of the door a stone dropped from his hand. The defendant then seized a spade, but they shoved him out. The defendant then said to Browne, “You have my two landlords with you—to the devil with them—I’ll have my revenge.” He heard the cry of “murder” soon after, but when he heard it a second time he ran out and saw Michael Phelan nearly dead. He did not see the defendant then or later in the neighbourhood after that occurrence, nor since until the present assizes.
Doctor A. Cuilinan proved the nature of the wound which, he said, caused the death of the deceased. The Judge shortly “recapitulated the evidence” and the Jury, in a few moments returned a verdict of Guilty of Manslaughter. Foley was sentenced to transportation for 7 years.
The Kilmainham Prison Register provides that Laurence Foley, prisoner number 2405, was sentenced to 7 years for manslaughter by Baron Foster on 20 July 1839 at Kilkenny. The New South Wales, Australia, Convict Indents, 1788-1842 reveals that Laurence Foley, of Kilkenny, arrived in Australia on 8 October 1839 aboard the Nautilus although this appears to be too quick a sailing time even if the ship left immediately following the trial. Perhaps the 8 October 1839 date reflects the date the ship sailed from Ireland? The records reveal that Foley was 30 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches tall and had hazel eyes, brown hair and a fresh complexion.
Three Rochestown townlands were located in Kilkenny. In the Griffith’s Valuation: Tithe Applotment Books there were no Phelan/Whelan in Rochestown, civil parish of Kilcolumb, Glenmore. Likewise, there were no Phelan/Whelan in Roachestown, civil parish of Rathkieran of Mooncoin (1833). Rochestown in the civil parish of Ballylarkin in 1827 had a Thomas Whelan who held 14 acres. It appears that Ballylarkin was originally in the Catholic Parish of Kilmacow but was transferred to Mullinavat Parish in the early 1840’s about the time Glenmore became a parish distinct from Slieverue.
In searching for Michael and John Phelan, utilizing the possibility that Thomas was their father, we located a John Phelan baptised on 16 June 1811 in Templeorum the son of Thomas Phelan and Catherine Crowly with an address of Kilonerry. Michael Phelan was baptized on 26 December 1807. Unfortunately, we cannot be certain that this is the correct family, and we were unable to locate a baptismal record for Laurence Foley.
