Individual Details

Edmond CAREW/CAREY

(Abt 9 Jul 1849 - 1 Aug 1924)

Sponsors at Edmond's baptism were William Carey and Mary Carey. Edmund's surname appears as "Keary' in the baptismal register and Edmond himself went by the name of Carey.

In late 1874 Edmond was taken into custody following the murder of his sister Mary Treacy's sister-in-law Johanna Hayes. Mary's husband, Thomas Treacy, and his brother Denis were involved in a bitter legal battle in the late 1860s and early 1870s over their mother's will. Thomas and Denis's sister Johanna took Denis's side in the dispute When Johanna was shot dead in her home in Milltown, Soloheadmore, Co. Tipperary in October 1874, Edmond, his father (Ned) and brother-in-law Thomas were brought in for questioning but all three were later released. Edmond had presumably come under suspicion as his mother had previously been shot at by Denis, and on a later occasion his sister Mary (i.e. Thomas's wife) was physically attacked by Denis. The murder was never solved.

Edmond later emigrated to Australia (sometime between 1874 and 1886).
