Notes

Note N0300 Rev. John Conway disambiguation

There were four John Conways in this family tree who were priests in Limerick around the same time. Three were cousins (of each other), the other was an uncle (of the cousins).

The uncle was: P.P. of Feenagh-Kilmeedy, b1830 - d1898

The cousins were: P.P. of Mahoonagh, from Carnane, son of Thomas Conway & Bridget Hannon, b1852 - d1929

P.P. of Glenroe, from Boherload, son of Patrick Conway & Ellen Hayes, b1872 - d1931

C.C of Shanagolden, from Fanningstown, son of Michael Conway & Margaret Moran, b1856 - d1905

John Conway from Boherload had a brother Patrick who was also a priest.

Note N0621 According to "Roman Catholic Clergy in St. Munchin's Parish" (in Winter 2014 Vol 48 of "The Old Limerick Journal") Patrick Conway, a cousin of Rev. John Conway of Carnane and brother of another Rev. John Conway, was P.P. of Glenroe for five years until his death in 1931. That appears to be an error.

According to the death notice of Rev. John Conway (Patrick's brother), John Conway was P.P. of Glenroe when he died in 1931. This evidence is supported by the Limerick Diocesan Heritage Project which compiles it's data on priests from the Catholic Directories.
