Individual Details

Thomas TREACY

(Abt 8 Nov 1821 - 24 Dec 1895)

Thomas's baptismal sponsors were John Hanley and Winifred Connors.

Interestingly, among all the sponsors at the baptisms of the children of Thomas and his wife, Mary, there is not a single Treacy; the sponsors are mostly Carews. The reason for this is probably the dispute that had arisen between Thomas and his only surviving brother, Denis, over their mother's will. See the notes below for Denis for further details of the case which culminated in Denis's inheritance of the farm and Thomas's eviction. Thomas and his family ended up moving to Tipperary town, (probably in 1875) where Thomas found work as a labourer initially. By the time of the birth of his son Edmund in 1875 he was a shopkeeper, and at the time of the birth of his son Thomas in 1881 he was the superintendant of a coal yard. At the time of his death aged 74 in 1895 he was a labourer. Thomas died of 'Cystitis (3-4 months)" and "Asthenia".
