Waterford
Yet of
please of the Crown and Delivery of gaol at the same
Walter
Ohatherne and William Otrassy, charged that they on Trinity Sunday at
the ninth hour, entered the Church at Holy Trinity, Waterford, and there broke
a chest before the alter of St. John Baptist and out of said chest robbed a
breviary worth two marks and a chalice worth 20s., come and say they are clerks
and neither can nor ought to answer here. And thereupon come one Henry,
commissary of Mathew, Bishop of Waterford, with letter patent of the bishop by
which the bishop assigned Henry as his commissary, to demand all and singular
clerks charged at please of the crown at this day before the judiciary and
demand Walter and William in the bishops name to be delivered to him as clerks.
And that it may be known why they ought to be delivered to the said commissary
inquiry proceeds more fully into the truth of the premises by the underwritten
jurors to wit, Jordan de Bristoll, Robert de Gloucestre, Robert Toukere, David
Tayllour, Robert le Marischall, William le Tylere, Henry Goer, Walter Large,
John son of Richard, Richard le Tayllour, Robert le Rede and Walter le Keu who
say that Walter is not guilty therefore he is quit. They say that William is
quilty therefore let him be delivered to the commissary to be kept in the
bishops prison as are convicted under fitting penalty. He has no chattels.

a head weir and that his father fished it before him. Thomas Whelan, 70 years

1899 Ballinacourty Lighthouse, Dungarvan
A record from 1899, for Ballinacourty which was recorded by
Light keeper, George Donleavy reveals that the market-cart man John Shea
was very ill and confined to bed. He writes ‘Went into Dungarvan with John
Shea, market man to put him in Hospital suffering from Rheumatism & general
disability’. Donleavy went to visit the sick man on March 11th,
& found him ‘very low & weak’. On March 13th, he
records ‘Received news at 11.30 AM that John Shea our market man departed this
life at 7pm on yesterday in Dungarvan Union Hospital, I proceeded to Dungarvan
to arrange for his interment in Kilgobnet on tomorrow’. He was an old &
faithful servant & had served 44 or 45 years as Market-man to this
station’. The passing of John Shea left a vacancy and the position was then
open for a new man. Four tenders were received from the following; William
Treacy. John Treacy. Roger Power. & Peter Kiely, All of those would
have lived across the road from the lighthouse at ‘An Baile’. The
tender was awarded to William Treacy.

1907 The Peri
The Peri was
built in 1872 by the Co-op Shipbuilding Society of Blyth in Sunderland and
registered in Waterford to Moloney and Co. It was a two masted schooner. Gross
tonnage: 101.13. Dimensions:89.8 x 20.3 x 9.15ft. Official No: 67632.
Registered in Liverpool in 1883, then in Waterford in 1893.The captain was
Michael Hally of Abbeyside. In October 1907 the Peri sailed out of Dungarvan on
its way to Newport, Wales, to pick up a cargo of coal for the Cork Brick
Company. The crew were Patrick Dwyer, Michael Tracey and James Young.
They had stormy weather on their return journey on the 2nd of November 1907. At
ten minutes to twelve that night the Peri crashed on the rocks at Seaview near
Helvick Head. The crew had abandoned ship. Michael Tracey went over board first
then James Young (aged 15). Captain Hally and Patrick Dwyer got to the base of
the cliff and climbed towards the top. Captain Hally lost his grip and fell.
Dwyer lost contact with him and eventually got to the top and a nearby house
owned by O'Sullivans. At 8 a.m. they discovered Captain Hally still alive
clinging to a tree and managed to rescue him. The bodies of Michael Tracey and
James Young were retrieved later that day.

sailed, homeward bound from Liverpool, 2 dayts after her sister ship the
Formby. On board was a crew of 40 with 4 passangers. The steamer was
torpedoed off the east coast by the same U-boat with no warning & all
were lost. There were harrowing scenes on the Waterford quay sideas women
& children waited in the wet & cold of winter for news of loved ones.
It was after Christmas before the sinkings were confirmed, with the total
loss of 83 lives. This was the worst disaster to befall Waterford this century. …Hugh Treacy Steward… |
