Molly Maguire (Secret Society) activity

[Hugh Doyle]

I would be interested in talking to anyone who has information on "Molly Maguire" or any other "secret society" activity in Roscommon in the years immediately prior to the "Famine" (or any other part of Ireland, for that matter.)<p>Thanks,...........Hugh Doyle (hdoyle@wsii.com)

: I would be interested in talking to anyone who has information on "Molly Maguire" <p>Hugh:<p>A recent history of the Mayo-Roscommon border area around Ballaghaderreen mentions an incident where 2 residents of the townland of Derrynabrack, including John Towey, were killed by the "Molly McGuires" in 1848. See p. 84 of "Mid-Connacht - The Ancient Territory of Sliabh Lugha" by Maire McDonnell-Garvey, Drumlin Publications, Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim, 1995. I have seen the book in paperback at several bookstores in the U.S. Ms. McDonnell-Garvey's main source on this seems to be the "Outrage Papers" from that time which are housed in Dublin Castle. Lots of Luck. Dick<br>
