Individual Details

Michael was a carpenter (like his father) and builder. At the time of the 1901 census he and his family were living at 26 Fuller's Lane in Cork and by the time of the 1911 census they were at City View Terrace, also in Cork. At the time of his death Michael was living at 9 Panorama Terrace, Sunday's Well, Cork. According to his death certificate Michael died of carcinoma of the liver and [what looks like on the document] cachaemia (an old term for blood poisoning) and cardiac failure.

Michael was involved in a court case in October 1935 in which he contested the will of his nephew Rev. Richard Barrett who left his entire estate to his housekeeper, a Miss Leah Louise Neville of 32 Main St., Macroom, Co. Cork. Richard's estate was was worth £7,211 and after the deduction of debts his assets came to £5,959. The case was eventually settled with Miss Neville agreeing to pay Michael £1,100 plus costs and Michael agreeing to withdraw his challenge to the will.
