Sarah NOLAN

(Prob Feb 1855 - 22 Sep 1934)

We are not entirely sure where Sarah was from. I was told by a family member that she was from Carrueragh, Moyvane but a marriage record located for Sarah on the Irish Genealogy wbsite, www.irishgenealogy.ie, tells us she was from Glenalappa, Moyvane (her father's name was Daniel).

According to the 1911 census, Sarah and her late husband, Patrick, had six children born alive, five of whom were living in at the time of the census. However, in the 1901 census Sarah lists six children, four of whom are not included in the 1911 list. The children named in the 1901 census are Robert, Mary, Margaret, John, Sarah and Annie, and those listed in 1911 are Robert, John, Michael, Patrick and Peter. I have combined the information from the two censuses to give the list below.

Sarah and Patrick had at least four daughters, baptism records for whom were located on www.irishgenealogy.ie: Mary, Margaret, Sarah and Johanna (baptised 1884, 1886, 1893 and 1895 respectively, tying in with the names and ages of the daughters listed in the 1901 census if we assume Johanna and Annie are the same person. It is known that a Joan Stack of Drommurher, daughter of Patrick and Sarah Stack, married a Liam Hogan of Kilkenny in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin on 24 April 1928. Joan was probably Johanna above who was baptised in 1895.

An obituary of a John P. Stack of Drommurher, who died at the age of 18, was published in The Kerryman newspaper on 21 December 1907. The information therein points to the deceased being John, son of Sarah above but the 1911 census has John, aged 22, listed. Given the other apparent error in this census return, relating to the number of children born alive, etc., it is possible that Sarah could have included John's name in error. There are census returns for only one Stack family in Drommurhur in both 1901 and 1911 so I think it unlikely there was a second Stack family in the townland, also with a son named John born about 1888.
