Individual Details
Michael Alexander MCDONNELL
(Abt 1850 - 12 Jun 1924)
Michael owned a hardware store on The Square in Charlestown, Co. Roscommon, purchased from his wife's family. According to the 1901 census he was a "general merchant", and the 1911 census tells us that he was s "publican and merchant".
Following Michael's death there appears to have been a dispute over his will (dated February 1910). I have seen references to court proceedings in 1927 and 1928 between the plaintiff, James McDonnell (presumably Michael's son) and defendants Ellen McDonnell and Annie Gordon (presumably his daughters). However, I have found no further details about the case.
