3119. Thomas Patrick Cranwill
Grave stone was still visable in September 2006 showing Peter Cranwell died in 1857 and Thomas Patrick and his wife Matilda Nicholson-Jones Cranwell/Cranwill died 1892.
Patrick was baptized at St. Mogue's on 14 May 1829.
That sounds about right for Thomas Patrick who married Matilda in 1881. He
was over 50 when he married and had not been married before as he is shown as
a bachelor on the marriage entry. Funny, I note there were two marriage
entries for Thomas & Matilda - don't know why. One was one page 16 and the
other was on the next page 17 - I have attached both for you to see.
Looks like the witness was either an Alexander Hollingsworth or an Arbrham
Hollingsworth. Attached is my original photo.

Matilda Nicholson was the widow of a Mr. Jones.
3124. Henry Giles Tackaberry
In loving memory of my dear husband Henry Giles Tackaberry who died at Woodmount Arklow 7 June 1913 aged 59 years. Rin 7412
(Rin 4174) Henry Giles Tackaberry, of 5 Wicklow St.,married Louisa Jane Richards, of 16 Grafton St.,7 March 1878,Dublin Cof I,St. Andrew.
It is not yet known where the "Giles" comes from and it would be reasonable to suspect that George Tackaberry married a "Giles" or that this George's mother was a "Giles".

) In loving memory of my dear husband Henry Giles Tackaberry who died at Woodmount Arklow 7 June 1913 aged 59 years. Rin 7412
(Rin 4174) Henry Giles Tackaberry, of 5 Wicklow St.,married Louisa Jane Richards, of 16 Grafton St.,7 March 1878,Dublin Cof I,St. Andrew.
It is not yet known where the "Giles" comes from and it would be reasonable to suspect that George Tackaberry married a "Giles" or that this George's mother was a "Giles".
Clearly there was a "Giles/Tackaberry" relationship as there was a James George Fossey Giles, born 11 January 1835, being the 6th child to James Giles and Dorothea Johnston(Johnstons again!!), who married 20 February 1813, and where this James Giles was the son of Henry Giles who married Barbara Godkin(daughter of Henry Godkin and Barbara Webster) 8 February 1785.Henry being the son of John Godkin buried at Kilgorman,County Wexford,8 November 1770(aged 78).
It then becomes possible that the christian name of "Fossey" comes,into the "Giles" ,through either the "Godkins" or the "Johnstons" and,as William Johnston was the step-father of the Revs. Fossey and John Cranwill Tackaberry, then probably "Fossey", in the "Giles", came from the Johnstons.
Jane must have died early as Henry Giles Thackaberry(son of George) remarried, 27 August 1890, to Jane Hall and it would be this Jane who erected the memorial.
2794. Fossey Tackaberry Rev
The famous Rev. Fossey Tackaberry of Sligo Circuit, Wesleyan Methodist Church was the son of Fossey Tackaberry, and his mother was Jane Cranwill.
It is said that even Roman Catholics came miles to attend the funeral at 8 o'clock in the morning. The article in "The Irish Christian Advocate", April 13, 1934 concludes with, "No wonder that Irish Methodism felt staggered at such a tragic earthly end to a promising career." Mention is made that "Tomagaddy House" where he was born had been burned in 1798.
The Rev died during his labours near Sligo in 1847, aged 51 of typhus on June 3rd of that year. His funeral was at 8 o'clock in the morning.
His mother Jane Cranwell re-married in 1805 to William Johnston of Ballinastraw in the same parish (Monamolin) and lived with her at Tomagaddy afterwards. Their son Henry Johnston was the half brother of the Rev. Fossey Tackaberry who married Elizabeth Hollingsworth of Ballinakill.
Mr. Tackaberry joined the Methodist Society in 1811.
It was not, however, until the year 1815, that he was
brought into the enjoyment of Divine favour."Tackaberry is also a name closely connected with Irish Methodism.The Rev. Fossey Tackaberry was a famous Methodist circuit minister who began his travels about the year 1822.For many years his portait hung in the home of the Tackaberry family at Tomagaddy.His forename,Fossey,(originally spelt ffossey,from the Norman fosse,a moat),probably was given him in honour of his grandmother,a daughter of Peter Fossey,who married John Tackaberry(died 1752).Peter Fossey was the son of Daniel Fossey,a Commonwealth Soldier and later a Quaker who died in Wexford town in 1703.Peter's son,Benjamin,appears to have been the last, of this family,and the name has been perpetuated by members of the Tackaberry and Godkin families as a first name.
In his memoirs,Musgrave lists Richard T(h)ackaberry,of the parish of Ferns,as killed at the battle of Enniscorthy on May 28,1798,and James and Robert T(h)ackaberry as prisioners, of the insurgents, at the gaol in Wexford Town"."Ferns Jottings" has this Richard as a Farmer, of Cooltore, and this came from Cara Links.It is not known the ages of James and Robert and perhaps were children of Nathaniel Tackaberry,Jnr..The word,Fosse(no "y') is derived from the latin "fossa" meaning "ditch".
Having been married to Miss Johnston, of Cortubbin, near Ballycanew, at the close of his second year in
Dublin, Mr. Tackaberry was appointed to the Drogheda Circuit by the Conference of 1828,
Harriette died on 15 July 1865(54) at Sligo.Spouse Fossey.
Barbara Allen Harrington.
This would be Harriette Pedlow the second wife of the Rev. Fossey Tackaberry.

2795. John Cranwill Tackaberry Rev.
John went to America and became a Methodist minister. Rev John Cranwill Tackaberry (Fossey's brother) (the C stands for Cranwill) who emigrated to America in 1817 and became a Methodist minister.
John died in New York City of Southern Fever contacted while he was Chaplain and Physician aboard a New York and Nicaragua steamer.
John's last words were, "In the Word of Godis my trust, his promises are my support".
Born in Wexford 8 Sep 1799. Parents John and Jane (Cranwill) Tackaberry
Emigrated to America in 1817, age 18John, brother of Rev. Fossey Tackaberry, arrived in Quebec, Canada in 1818. Licensed as a minister in April, 1821, cloth-dresser by trade, served pulpits in Ontario for several years and eventually moved to state of New York where he continued in the ministry. source - http://genforum.genealogy.com/tackaberry/messages/33.html
Ordained a local Deacon in 1826
Returned to Ireland in 1836 (reference to this visit in ‘Life and Labours of Rev Fossey Tackaberry’
Returned to America after tour of Europe in 1837Married Sarah L Tieman on Jan 1 1839. Sarah was born in July 1821 and was only 18 years old while John was 40 years at time of marriage (Source – 1880 New York Census for Sarah L Tackaberry <http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html> still alive living with William GH, Emily G and Antoinette. She is still alive at time of 1900 Census <../pdfs/Sarah%20Tieman%20Census%201900.jpg>
Died May 9 1852 aged 53 in New York City of Southern Fever contracted while he was Chaplain and Physician aboard a New York and Nicaragua steamer.
As regards the land leases held ,dating from 1792 ,it may be necessary to obtain copies as there is doubt as to the relationship of the various "lives" and the actual dates of the Land Deeds that is,were they all 1792 or of varying dates.The view,at this time,although not sighted,is that the dates of 1792 are correct as,in the "Godkins", there were several Land Deeds, all of the one year, being 1756.
Fossey Tackaberry's lease mentions the lives of John Tackaberry,aged 23,George Tackaberry,aged 19,and William Tackaberry aged 16.Should this Fossey be the father of the Rev. Fossey Tackaberry and where there was a brother,the Rev.John Cranwill Tackaberry,born 8 September 1799 then the John,mentioned, as one of the "lives",had either died, prior to 1799, or is of another family and,should this be the case,then it casts doubt on the relationship of George and William.Land Leases did not always show the family relationship of the three "lives".
Sarah was only 16 years old when she married John, and he was 40 at the time.
Sarah died from smallpox living at 238 East 77th Street, New York at age 79.
This is,also, confirmed in the book titled "Old Sands Street Methodist Episcopal Church"and which has a chapter on the Rev.John Cranwill Tackaberry, son of John and Jane(Cranwill) and this very valuable information was provided by Stephen Bailey, of Dublin, along with family details including the Rev. John's wife,Sarah Louise Tieman, and their 6 children.
The half-brother,Henry Johnston,to the Reverends Fossey and John Cranwill Tackaberry,married 24 July 1849,age 39,of Tomagaddy,to Eliza Hollingsworth with the witnesses being John Cranwill and Geo. Johnston(most probably cousins). In naming his children Henry Johnston used the second christian names of "Cranwill","Hollingsworth","Dalton","Johnston" and "Howard".
Being:
John Hollingsworth Johnston
Henry Cranwill Johnston
Maria Cranwill Johnston
William Johnston Johnston
Edward Dalton Johnston
Samuel Howard Johnston
and the female names of:
Susan Jane Johnston
Eliza Anne Johnston
Fannie Caroline Johnston
Jane Eleanor Johnston
Annie Esther Johnston
Emily Mary Johnston
Laura Charlotte Johnston
All names,it would seem,to be of families on both sides. This would make Jane Cranwill's parents as Henry and Maria.Some of these names may go back generations as the same happened in Grandma McMahon's "Godkins":
Aunt Jemima Cooke Godkin
Uncle John Boles Godkin
Uncle Thomas Mintern Godkin
and all on the female line.

Sat. March 25, 1861, Column 1, "Ballycanew Young Men's Christian Association...", Mr. Henry Johnston (Elizabeth Hollingsworth's husband) of Tomagaddy appointed as President of the Association, and Mr. Thomas Cranwill, Secretary. (they were converted to Wesleyan Methodism by the great missionary in Ireland, Rev. Fossey Tackaberry of Tomagaddy. Cranwill was a cousin, Rev. Tackaberry's mother was Jane Cranwill of Ballinemoney, Ballycanew. Henry Johnston was Rev. Tackaberry's half-brother.
July 24, 1849. Henry Johnston aged 39, bachelor, farmer, Tomagaddy, Monamolin Parish, of unk Johnston, farmer, to Elizabeth Hollingsworth age 23, spinster of Ballinakill, Ballycanew, daughter of John Hollingsworth, farmer, by C. Huson in presence of John Cranwill and William Johnston. John Cranwill was most likely Henry's uncle and William was his father.
This is the strongest evidence that John Hollingsworth (1789-1877) the
father of Eliza Johnston, was Samuel's, rather than Thomas' son - that
he, as eldest son and heir at law to Samuel, would inherit Ballinakill
on the death intestate of his father.
