Hi Sean
I was out to see your GGGG grandfathers grave two weeks ago, I was wondering myself if there was a connection but have not been able to make one yet, My G grandfathers was Richard (Dick) O'Connell, b. 1877, he is buried at Murhur graveyard which is about three miles from Knockanure, he died May 1939. He married Nora Foley (not sure if she was from Moyvane) and they had nine children, one of which was my grandfather, Parick O'Connell. My G grandfather also had one brother that I know of, Daniel O'Connell, b. 1873. I visited both Knockanure and Murhur graveyard and took pictures of all the O'Connell graves which I will email you if you want them, the tombstone erected by Father James O'Connell is covered in lichens but you can make out most of it, I will be taking a rubbing of it when I get out there next time. In Murhur graveyard there is a tomb erected by Morgan and Timothy O'Connell. in memory of there brother Rev. John O'Connell who died April 1822 aged 36 years, this tomb is quite close to my great grandfathers grave so I was wondering if there was a connection but I have not been able to make this connection either. I will be talking to a member of my family next week who should be able to give me more details of my great grandfathers brothers and sisters and hopefully his parents. I will also be visiting Listowel graveyard in an hour or two so I will let you know how I get on there.
Regards
Paul
