Subject: note
from Michael Purcell 2011.
An
interesting aside to the Inquest reports is the listing of the
jury men...
in the
Thomas Farrell report the jurors are from Leighlinbridge area...
in the case of Edward Fitzpatrick the jurors are from Carlow
town...
When Percy
Farrell got to Australia I believe he changed his first name;
descendants of his from Queensland, Aust. were in communication
with Pat Purcell in the 1950s,unfortunately I don't have any
further information on them at present.
