| - Notes: Bridget's parents were John Donovan and Catherine Quinlan. John was born in 1792 calculating from his gravestone. He died on 19 July 1844 and is buried in Ballinlough cemetery on the road between Kilteely and Hospital in eastern county Limerick. (To see his grave go to http://historicgraves.com/ballinlough/li-blgh-010/grave.) We do not know where he was born but assume it was somewhere in the area as there are records of lots of Donovan families. Catherine was born in 1796 calculating from her death certificate. She died on 22 August 1880 at Castlefarm where she lived. We do not have any record of where she is buried. Like John we do not know where she was born but there are Quinlan families in local records of the time. They were married in April 1829 in Kilteely (the parish register is too damaged to show the day), and as people usually married in the bride's parish we can suppose Catherine was from there but there are no records to show this.
They settled at no. 3 Castlefarm, a townland just north of the small town of Hospital. This is considered the best dairying area in Ireland and the Griffiths Valuation records shows them as dairy farmers. The farm stayed in the family until the 1950s when it was sold to buy a bigger farm in the area. The name of Hospital is a strange one, but derives from the Knights Hospitallers who had an abbey there in the medieval period. The ruins are still there next to the modern church and graveyard. Hospital is a typical one street country village in rural Ireland. The Donovans had 6 children, all born at Castlefarm and baptised in Hospital, as follows - Ellen (bapt. 7 December 1831), Bridget (bapt. 19 December 1833), Catherine (bapt. 16 April 1837), Michael (bapt. 9 November 1839), James (bapt. 17 July 1842) and John (bapt. 27 September 1844). There is another child, Thomas, mentioned on the gravestone in Ballinlough cemetery, but no evidence that he was John and Catherine's child except for that. We do not know when the stone was erected and wonder if it was long after John's death; there was a grandson Thomas who died young (1873) and we wonder if there is a mistake. |
