Conclusion . . . at this time . . . it is diffacult to say . . whether John McEncroe had resided in " Rocklow House " . . 

It certainly points in that direction . . . 

Sara Barbour ( do you know ?? ) . . appears to have a detailed history of the man . . . 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As an aside  . . . I have had the pleasure of visiting in Rocklow House . . . and will . . attempt to alert the current occupant of your query. .

Hi following Eamonn's post, I reside in Rocklow House, Fethard however I have not come across the name Mc Encrowe in relation to the history of the house.

Paul

Thank you Eamonn and Paul for your interest in my query. Most accounts say that John McEncroe (I've never come across the "McEncrow/e" spelling before) was born in Ardsallagh which I understand is just west of Rocklow House. Unfortunately I do not have an Ancestry.com log-in (I'm always banging my head against their pay wall) so I cannot read the links you provided. However, our library has a log-in so I will try again there. From the headings some of them appear to be about his re-interment in St Mary's Cathedral. He is indeed there in the crypt. Just to confuse things, another biogapher, probably erroneously, thinks he was born in Rathsallagh which from maps appears to be west of Fethard. We all grew up hearing about Archdeacon McEncroe so it will be interesting to see if the accounts of his life provided above match up to the oral history.

Perhaps I should start another post about Rev. James Hanly of Moorstown and his two brother Thomas and Nicholas who all followed in McEncroe's footsteps to Australia to see if anyone knows about the Hanlys of Moorstown.

Kind regards

Trish

Hi Trish . . . 

I had a quick look at Hanly . . .

HERE showing  . . . Richard . . a property owner . . for the purpose of Church Tax . . . 

Parish - Mora . . Townland ..Mooretown

Mora. . .  parish would be geographically close to Rocklow . . 

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I search the next Tax list i.e.   " Griffiths Valuation " 1847 -1864 

there is NO sign of a Hanly Family . . then residing . . in the parish of Mora . . 

So . . one can only presume . . as you hinted . . they had been off to Oz.  !!

Could Mora parish . . have been the residence of the McEncroe's   ??

Have you tried enlisting the help of Maynooth in your search ???

Cheers . . Eamonn.
