'unknown' DANAHER (male)
( - )
Although neither my husband nor I am directly connected to the Danaher family, a number of members of my family have over the generations married members of the Danaher family of west Limerick. In the course of my research into my own family I have picked up information on the Danahers of Athea which may be useful to Danaher researchers, hence its inclusion on this website.
The Danahers did not in fact have roots in Co. Limerick, rather they came from somewhere along the border of counties Cork and Waterford and arrived in Limerick sometime in the 17th century. An article in The Kerry Reporter of 17 October 1931 tells us that 'unknown' above had two sons, Philip and Maurice who fled from home apparently to avoid the risk of being forcibly transported by the British government to work on sugar plantations in Bermuda. The brothers eventually settled in Athea, Philip in Parkmount and Maurice in Glenagower. A great-great-grandson of Philip's named John Danaher was still living on the Danaher property in Parkmount in 1931.
