George Cashel, of Bedford House, Co.Kerry

  

Marriage of George Cashel.
From Limerick Chronicle, 15 Feb 1840.



George Cashel,
or Cashell.
His father owned Shallee House, Co.Tipperary, but lived in Co.Kerry most of his life.
In around 1830s-1840s his father lived at Bedford House, near Listowel, Co.Kerry.
At mar 1840 he is listed as George Cashel, eldest son of George Cashel, of Bedford House.

He mar 15 Feb 1840 to Jane Anne Franklin.
He is listed as George Cashel the younger, of Bedford, in his sister's marriage settlement, 30 Apr 1840.
He and his wife lived at least 1843-1849 at Roseland Cottage (or Rose Land), Grogeen townland, just SE of Listowel, Co.Kerry.
Listed as of "Rose Land" under Listowel in [Slater's Directory, 1846].

They moved to the area of Ballybunion, Co.Kerry, a bit NW of Listowel.
At dau's birth 1851 they are living at Ballyduff and the child is baptised at Killehenney CoI church (or Killehenny, this is Ballybunion). Ballyduff, Rattoo par, is a little S of Ballybunion. Rattoo civil parish borders Killehenny civil parish.
It is possible this is an error for Barraduff. It is hard to tell. Ballyduff is plausible too.
There is a "George Cashel" listed in [Griffiths Valuation, 1852] at Glanerdalliv, Rattoo par, S of Ballyduff. Renting from Wilson Gun.

George is listed in [Griffiths Valuation] 1851 or 1852 as of Barraduff, Lisselton par, a little E of Ballybunion. Lisselton civil parish borders Killehenny civil parish.
Listed at "Ballybunion" at children's baptisms 1852-1856.
Listed as of "Barraduff Cottage" in newspaper notice of daughter's birth 1854. Listed at "Ballybunion" at her baptism. So "Ballybunion" seems to be shorthand for places near Ballybunion.

His father died 1855.
He inherited Shallee House, Co.Tipperary.
George Cashel, of Shallee, is listed in [Slater's Directory, 1856].

Emigration to New Zealand:
George and most of the family emigrated to New Zealand. Though his son George either came back or never went, and set up home in the old family property, Shallee House. The rest of the family emigrated in separate groups. It is unclear when each person went:

See an ad in the Daily Southern Cross, 1 February 1869, Page 2, where he is offering the orchard and vineyard at Belmont to rent. The ad also says he is proprietor of Tookey's Flat, Graham's Town, New Zealand.
He is listed in Daily Southern Cross, 13 February 1869, Page 8, as proprietor of Belmont, Ohinemuri.
