Hi lads

It was reported on the Meath Chronicle on the 22nd of November, 1919 of a hearing that occurred within Bailieboro Quarter Session in the weekend prior to publishing the paper. The hearing occurred when John McKenna, a 25–26-year-old from a large family in Mullagh town wanted to establish the will of Thomas Rochfort, who went off to fight in the war, and died tragically in France on the 22nd of November 1915.

​

According to the 1911 census, Thomas Rochfort lived in house 16 in Mullagh Town. He was 35 in the 1911 census marking his age as 39 years old when he perished in a hospital in France. He was a farmer and lived with his father in 1911, although it is clear from the article that his father had passed away between 1911 and 1915, so he had inherited the farm and seemingly along with it considerable debt. Prior to leaving to fight in the war, Rochfort opted to sell the family farm to pay for his debt. He entrusted the sale to the father of John McKenna, Thomas Patrick McKenna (called T.P. McKenna in the article). The farm was put on sale in 1913 with the highest bid being 150 pounds which was not accepted. The farm was then sold to McKenna himself for the reserve price of 200 pounds with some of it going to the debt, to Rochfort himself, and to T. P. McKenna’s shop. It seemed that Rochfort and McKenna were good friends as letters were shown at the hearing from Rochfort when he was lying wounded in a hospital in France.

When it came the time to write his will before he went off to war, he collected two witnesses from the street; John Daly which current research suggests could have been from Moynalty, and John Doyle from house 5 in Killeter. The Article states that when he met them along the streets he said “You are the people I want. I am about to make my will. Come with me to Mr. M’Kenna’s office.” They went with him to his office and that he told them he wanted to make his will and that he wanted his house left for John McKenna for the debt and money for masses for his mother and father. Initially, Rochfort requested that John Daly draw up his will however John suggested that Justin McKenna, younger brother of John McKenna and apprentice solicitor to McBreen Solicitor at the time draw it up instead. (Although I could not find any sign of a Justin within the census records, there was a Ulick James McKenna living in the house, who was a nine-year-old scholar according to the 1911 census. My theory is that Justin was a nickname of sorts given to him instead of just being called Ulick James. Given the 4-year gap between 1911 and 1915, it would put Ulick James around 13 years old during the signing of the will.)

​

The will was then drafted up and according to John Daly’s statement at proceedings, the will was signed by Rochford, and Daly and Doyle within Rochford’s presence, before Rochfort’s departure to the war that day.

I just found out my biological family is from Cavan. Specifically Lurganure, just outside Ballyjameduff. What can you tell me about the area? More importantly, where's the craic?

My entire family has lived in Cavan all their life for as long as records go, for centuries. And for centuries we have retold the tale of the Harland fortress where no one enters and no one leaves inhabited by a family of redheads with distinct features for example they towered above everyone.

The harland clan was undefeated. Yet great tragedy struck... and the entire stronghold was ruins. Everyone was said to have disappeared cept a young lad the height of a birch tree with the most terrifying eyes and anyone who would catch a glimpse would suffer greatly which he covered with a blindfold of calico

Eventually the young harland cabhan would lead a jewish revolt and get hanged at the ripe young age of 47. I feel sorry for the poor lad bless his soul.

They say the ruins of the harland tribe are still out there and they are sacred to our kind. By chance any of you know where they may be?

Do feel free to share your Cavan lore

Not sure if the sub is still up and running, but I just had some questions to ask regarding Cavan. I know that the past few months he's been in lockdown but why is he no longer a part of this sub? I have also tried looking for any posts about a weanus or weanus hunting, which I find particularly strange. My main surge of curiosity was derived from the fact that I once heard Cavan scaled 9 whole floors, quite an impressive feat, and it left me wondering... Where is overwatch with Archie 2? It's been over 3 years now and nothing. I understand that there was the emo purge after Mr Cormac began his political schemes against him but still... He should return. One other way in which the idea of Cavan interests me is though his Warhammer collection. One could argue that his purchase of Sauron was questionable at best, due to the fact that his mana to point ratio is especially low after games workshops crushing nerds to both the Hobbiton military and Sauron. As a fellow Warhammer strategist myself I would never consider purchasing him but that's why I'm here, to inquire and gain new intellect regarding these topics. Please let me know if you can help me.

I may need a steer yet for any hidden gems in Cavan I forget to include!

Hope to see you there!

I’m from Galway. I read about someone from Cavan just a few minutes ago and I looked Cavan up on here to see if there was an active page. I had to double check where Cavan was on the map I won’t even lie! What’s Cavan like? Population of 75k? What’re the work opportunities like? Is there much diversity there? Do any tourists come through to Cavan? What’re some of the most beautiful spots to visit in Cavan? Ye are based in Ulster, is there any hostility there between catholics and Protestants?

Cavan lad here. Would really like to see this subreddit up and running. I've a good few links on Reddit and stuff and I could start promoting this sub (cause I know there are loads of people from Cavan on Reddit) Get in contact! :))
