Roscommon. He died in Mar 1937 in probably Mohill, Co. Leitrim. Thomas married Margaret REYNOLDS.</p> <blockquote><p>Thomas left school at the age of 16 and joined the British Army. He served in the Boer War in 1897 after which his parents bought him out of the army and sent him to Blackrock College in Dublin to complete his secondary school education. He went on to study veterinary medicine (he is listed a a veterinary student in the 1911 census return of his brother James who lived in Ballyshannon, Co. Donegal) and graduated as a member of the first veterinary class to qualify in Ireland (prior to that, Irish students had to go to Edinburgh to qualify as vets). Following his graduation, Thomas went to Edinburgh for further study after which he rejoined the British Army, this time as an officer in the Royal Army Veterinary Corp. His specialty was equine medicine. During World War I Thomas was awarded the Military Cross for 'Gallantry and Distinction in the Field' and also received a 'Mention in Dispatches'. Immediately after the war, the British government sent a variety of experts, including Thomas, to France to help in the setting up of new government departments. As a result of his work there, Thomas was awarded the Mérite Agricole in 1919 by the French government. In the same year he received the Afghanistan Medal for his services in India. We don't know when exactly Thomas served in India but according to his obituary in The Leitrim Observer he contracted malaria while there and suffered recurrent bouts of the illness in later years. <br> <br> In 1919 or shortly thereafter Thomas retitired from the army, turning down an offer of higher rank if he would stay. He returned to Ireland and set up a practice in Mohill, Co. Leitrim, where he was to spent the rest of his life. His reputation was such that his duties in Mohill included the treatment of the horses of the Irish Army. Thomas was also involved in the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland, and was a judge at major horse shows around the country. He was also a well known breeder of dairy shorthorn cattle.</p> </blockquote> </td> </tr></table><table BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 WIDTH="100%" > <tr VALIGN=TOP> <td></td> <td><p> <b><a name="3893"></a>Margaret REYNOLDS</b> was born about 1890.

At the time of the 1901 census, he and his family were still living in Grallagh but by the time of the 1911 census the family was living in Quarrymount, Kilclooney, one of the finest small country house estates in Co. Galway. Built about the 1830s, the property (also known as Kilclooney House) became the home of the Bodkin family, one of the 14 "tribes" of Galway. In 1881 the house was leased to Edward O'Kelly for 31 years and by the early 20th century it was in the hands of the Congested Districts' Board who passed it onto the Land Commission who in turn sold the house and 220 acres to James. Over the years land was sold off and about 1971 James's grandson Henry Gordon sold the house and remaining 20 acres to a builder from Tuam. A year later it was sold on to Frank Bermingham who owned the adjacent farm. In 1991 the house, by now in a state of disrepair, along with a small parcel of land, was purchased by Michael O'Grady, who began a programme of repair and restoration. Unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, Michael was forced to sell the property in 2001.
