Individual Details
Darby DOWD
(Abt 1729 - Nov 1805)
Darby owned the Abbey Tenement and properties on the Mall and in Lissanearla East, all in the parish of Tralee. He worked as a "nailor", i.e., a person with blacksmithing skills making specialised nails to attach to a horse's shoe. Late in his life he served as parish clerk for the Protestant St. John's Church in Tralee.
According to a piece published in The Kerry Evening Post of 27 March 1909, listing old entries in local parish registers, Darby was buried in November 1805 in "the churchyard of Tralee". Presumably this was the cemetery attached to St. John's Church, Nelson St. (now Ashe St.) in Tralee.
