Mullinahone, Callan - Book of County Tipperary, 1889
About “The Book of County Tipperary,” 1889
George Henry Bassett produced 7 Irish county directories in the 1880s: Antrim, Armagh, Down, Kilkenny, Louth, Tipperary and Wexford. Each provides useful history of the respective counties as well as lists of office holders, farmers, traders, and other residents of the individual cities, towns and villages.
The directories are naturally an invaluable resource for those tracing family history. The Book of County Tipperary is the first of these to be made available on libraryireland.com, with its own search page. However, there are a few points to bear in mind.
- This online version is designed primarily as a genealogical research tool and therefore the numerous advertisements in the original book, many full page, and quite a few illustrated, have been excluded.
- The text has been proofed with due care, but with large bodies of text typographical errors are inevitably bound to occur.
- Be aware that there were often inconsistencies in spelling surnames in the 19th century and also that many forenames are abbreviated in Bassett’s directories.
With respect to the last point, surnames which today begin with the “Mc” prefix, for example, were often formerly spelt as “M‘,”. For a list of some of the more common forename abbreviations used in the directory, see Forename Abbreviations.
To enjoy the rich variety of advertisements, confirm accuracy of the entries, or have a printed record of a family member, obtain an original or facsimile copy of The Book of County Tipperary.
Population 733 in 1881.—Trout-fishing.
Mullinahonene, in the parish of Kilvemnon, barony of Middlethird, is 4½ miles, Irish, south-west of Callan, 7 miles north-east of Fethard, and 13 miles north-east of Clonmel. A large portion of the land of the district is good for pasture and tillage. Most of the farmers make a feature of keeping dairy cows. There are remains of ancient churches in Modeshill, Kilvemnon, and Isertkiernan. Of these one is supposed to have been a monastery. Portions of Killaghy and Constable castles continue to exist. The northern slope of Slievenamon mountain is within 3 miles, Irish, of Mullinahone. There was a rebel encampment on this in 1848. William Smith O’Brien visited Mullinahone in July of that year, on the eve of the rising at the Commons. See page 19. Mr. Charles J. Kickham, the poet, known in connection with the Fenian movement of 1865–6, was a native of this town. His remains were interred in the Catholic church-yard here, 1882, and a monument to his memory subscribed for by admirers in Ireland, England and America.
