Individual Details

Hanora (Nano) KENNELLY

(Abt 1851 - 29 Dec 1877)

Nano was a sister of Dan Kennelly who married Mary Stack, a sister of Nano's husband, Tom.

Nano died the day after the birth of twins who also died. She was only 26. Before the birth, Nano's father, Jeremiah, who was going to the fair in Listowel, promised her the price of a bullock on his return. But when he arrived back, she and the babies had either died or were close to death.

At some point after Nano's death, Tom built a new two-storey house on his holding in Gortdromagowna (in which Tom's grandnephew Thomas Kennelly later lived with his wife, Maggie (née Shanahan). After the marriage of his sister Mary to Nano's brother Dan, Tom gave them his farm and new house, and purchased for himself, for £1,800 at auction, a freehold farm in the townland of Ballygoughlin in Glin, Co. Limerick. It is believed that Dan's family gave Tom about £500 when he left Knockanure.

Note: It is believed by one source that the occupiers of the Gortdromagowna holding prior to Tom were Griffins; another source says they were the Connors from Claar (Tom's mother was a Connor from Claar).
