Descendants of Maria DALTON (Caution: not verified)

Fourth Generation


14. Patrick (Paddy) FINUCANE "Paddy" (Mary Anne (Mainanne) O'CONNOR , William O'CONNOR , Maria ) was born 5 Dec 1899 in Clounprohus, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. He died 10 Apr 1984 in Listowel, Co. Kerry and was buried in Listowel, Co. Kerry.

Paddy was elected to Kerry County Council in 1942, and in 1943 he was elected as T.D for Clann na Talún (the Farmers' Party). At a later stage he was elected to the Dáil as an Independent T.D. He was never defeated at election time, and in 1969 he retired after 26 years in the Dáil. His main achievement as a T.D. was the implementation of the Cashen drainage scheme which proved vital in the prevention of flooding in north Kerry.

Paddy married (1) Lillian (Lily) HANRAHAN "Lily", daughter of John ("The Major") HANRAHAN ""The Major"" and Elizabeth BUCKLEY, in 1920 in Listowel Church, Co. Kerry. Lily was born 25 Apr 1899 in Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry. She died 10 Nov 1943 in Urlee, Lisselton, Co. Kerry and was buried in Listowel, Co. Kerry.

Prior to the marriage of Lily and Paddy, Lily's parents had arranged a marriage between her and someone else. But Lily and Paddy had fallen in love, and they eloped. After their marriage they lived in Kilbaha where their first child was born. The move to Urlee in Lisselton came about because they bought or were given the farm of Lily's uncle, Mike Buckley, and his wife, Maria (née Kissane) who had no children.

Lily and Paddy were second cousins once removed - Paddy's great-grandfather, Bryan Cunningham, and Lily's grandmother, Margaret (Peg) Cunningham, were brother and sister.

29. Johanna (Jo) O'CONNOR "Jo" (Edmond (Eddie or Ned) O'CONNOR , William O'CONNOR , Maria ) was born 9 Apr 1913 in Sallowglen, Tarbert, Co. Kerry. She died 9 Jan 1986 and was buried in Ahavoher Cemetery, Gale Bridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Jo married William (Billy) CUNNINGHAM, son of Maurice CUNNINGHAM (Caution: relationship to Little Bryan not verified) and Mary FORAN. William was born 1 Oct 1910. He died 22 Nov 1985 in Listowel, Co. Kerry and was buried in Ahavoher Cemetery, Gale Bridge, Moyvane, Co. Kerry.

Jo and Billy were related. It's thought by a family member that they might have been third cousins, but the exact connection hasn't been established. We do know that Billy's father's name was Maurice and that Maurice's father's name was Bryan (Maurice's children were known as the "Maurice Bryans"). However it's not known if Maurice was a son of "Little Bryan" (which would make Jo and Billy third cousins once removed), or a son of Bryan Cunningham who married Johanna Hudson (which would make them first cousins once removed). Perhaps the former is more likely.

Billy inherited the family home in Moyvane village. He was a fine singer.
