Denis Presents Wonderfully Historic Items to Museum
We extend sincere thanks to Denis Healy for three much appreciated items for Millstreet Museum – a Carbide Lamp (used on bikes in bygone days), a spent cartridge bullet from the famous “Aud” Ship which was so significant in the 1916 period (This is a hugely historic item and it was given to Denis by a Cork gentleman whose name we shall later share) and a Primus which was in common use in homes at on picnics by the beach!

My g-g-grandmother Julia Lehan (Leehan, Lehane, Lyons) married John Chinnery in 1849, I believe in Cork. they went to Wales, where their four children were born in the 1850s: James, John, Catherine and Michael. Julia’s husband died in Wales in 1858 and she subsequently brought the four children to NEw York, possibly in 1862. lI am descended from her youngest son, Michael. I want to know the names of Julia’s parents as well as John’s parents and siblings if any. Thank you.
