Individual Details
John MOLONEY
(Abt 1 Jul 1849 - 3 Feb 1936)
The sponsors at John's baptism were Patrick Enright and Bridget Mulcahy.
John and his wife, Margaret, lived in Sluicequarter, Duagh, Co. Kerry. Sluicequarter is located in the area of Duagh known as Islandanny, and the names Sluicequarter and Islandanny are often used interchangeably. The name Islandanny seems to have been used more in the 19th century when referring to Sluicequarter, while Sluicequarter appears to have been more commonly used in the 20th century.
Islandanny is not actually an official townland in Duagh parish, rather it is generally regarded as a grouping of the following townlands that lie north of the river Feale: Sluicequarter, Rea, Knocknacaheragh, Pilgrim Hill, Lacca East and Shronebeirne. The name Sluicequarter is not in fact used so much any more; Kilmorna - not an official townland either - has been increasingly used as an address by locals in recent decades due to the location of their local post office (now closed) in nearby Kilmorna.
Duagh researchers may also be interested in knowing that the other four townlands north of the river Feale are Rathoran, Kingsland, Islandboy East and Islandboy West. These last two townlands mentioned should not be confused with Islandboy which is another townland in Duagh, located south of the river. All three Islandboys were islands on the river several centuries ago. Islandboy West amounts to no more than about nine acres and has had nobody living there for a very long time, if ever. Islandboy East is just one farm. The current proprietor (in 2014) of the Islandboy East farm is John O'Connor (who is related to the O'Connors of Rathoran). Many thanks go to Tom Moloney from Duagh for clarifying the location of these Duagh addresses.
John died on 3 February 1936, not 14 February as engraved on his headstone.
