Note discrepancy in date of birth on Baptism it states he was born 26 Jan 1879 and on GRO Registration it states he was born 6 Feb 1879. I will use the Baptism date as that occurred 4 days after he was born 30 Jan 1879 and the GRO Registration occurred on the 18 Feb 1879 which was 12 day after the date of birth claimed on the GRO Registration and 23 days after the birth according to the Baptismal record, hence there was a greater chance that this could be incorrect. But will use the GRO Place of birth, Ballinacourty, no place of birth is indicated on the Baptismal certificate.
Matt Falvey 18 Jul 2010. One thing to note is that in the GRO record they have used the Irish version of Johanna's Maiden name "Naish" .
The town of Askeaton is situated just off the N69 from Limerick to Tralee on the R518. Three miles to the north of Askeaton lies the village of Ballysteen, which is the other half of the parish. The name Askeaton comes from the Eas Gâeitinâi, which means "the Waterfall of the Gâeitinâi (Keatings)". The Gâeitinâi were a Celtic tribe who settled in the area in ancient times. It is mistakenly given as "As-cead-tinne", the cascade of the hundred fires in Lenihan's "History of Limerick".
Askeaton is situated on the river Deel and was a base for the Normans, especially the Desmond Geraldines, whose family name was Fitzgerald. The Normans built a castle here in the 12th century but this was leveled in the 15th century to be replaced by the large fortress that the Desmond Geraldines built.
The Geraldines became unhappy with their English Tudors rulers; they looked to mainland Europe to form an alliance. On 20th of June 1523, a treaty between representatives of the French king, Francis I and James, the 10th Earl of Desmond was signed in Askeaton. The treaty stated that Desmond would make war on Henry VIII and that the French would land in Ireland. However nothing came of this treaty and it was another era before any attempt at rebellion was made.
The revolt of the Munster Geraldines occurred in 1579. The English Governor of Connacht Sir Nicholas Malby laid siege to the castle in Askeaton in which Gerald the fifteenth Earl of Desmond was in command. Malby was lacking artillery to attack the castle so he set fire to the town and the friary in the town. The following year the English Commander Pelham, assisted by artillery took the castle. The Borough of Askeaton was awarded a charter in 1613 and returned two members to Parliament until the Union of 1800
Askeaton Church
The present day church in Askeaton was built on a site on the western road during Fr Edward Cussen's time as parish priest. Building was commenced in 1851 and was completed in 1853. The church is dedicated to St Mary. The church was restored under the leadership of Canon Thomas Kirby and Bishop Newman rededicated the church on the 23rd of May 1977. In front of the church in Askeaton, there is a cross that marks the grave of Fr Edmund Treacy. Between the period of time that the parish church was burned in 1847 and the completion of the present church in 1853, mass was celebrated in what is now Fitzgibbon's Store in Brewery Lane.
In the church, there are two stained glass windows at the centre of the nave. The window on the left is in memory to Mary and Brigid Casey, both of whom died from TB at age 19. The window depicts St Patrick receiving the two daughters of King Laoire, the King of Ireland into the church. The window opposite it shows Jesus with the little children. This window is to the memory of Annie Mulraire.
The stained glass window in the right transept shows the Resurrection while under the gallery there is a statue to the Immaculate Conception. In the left transept the stained glass window depicts the Ascension.
Over the main door of the church, the stained glass window to the Blessed Virgin Mary is in memory to the McDonnell family of Milltown. Also over the door, there is a large statue of the Pieta.
Mass Rock
It is believed that there is a mass rock in the parish in the townland of Ballincourty but there is no proof of this.
