Very Pleasant Unexpected Blackberry Treat at Dooneen – Autumn 2013
On a recent cycle around the Glebe Route I came across a dedicated Crew taking a break from a hard day’s work saving silage. And then we met Mary Healy picking blackberries to make delicious jam. Mary very kindly (as is usual for Mary who is always so generous to everyone) treated us all to a feast of wonderful blackberries. For me it truly brought back fond childhood memories. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
Here we share a selection of pictures recalling the recent memorable occasion. When I returned to the same field at Dooneen yesterday – the hay had been baled and stored…and nobody there on that occasion to share another blackberry feast! Many thanks to the Healy Family and all [read more …] “Very Pleasant Unexpected Blackberry Treat at Dooneen – Autumn 2013”

Fascinating pre-1894 picture of Andreae Shop at Main Street, Millstreet
Maurice Buckley writes: “The man in the photograph is likely to be Agustus Andreae the owner of the shop and some of his daughters.
Agustus inherited the shop from his mother (a widow) after she died 31/03/1858.
Agustus married Catherine Dennehy (a shop assistant from Millstreet in 1880) and they had 5 daughters, and a son:
- Margarita Maria born 12/9/1883,
- Brigida Maria 13/10/1885,
- Sophia Maria 14/5/1888,
- Maria 9/5/1890,
- Ellena Maria 29/03/1892.
- Gululmus (William) Joseph Andreae, but he died aged 6 months.
The girls were known, as far as I know, as Margaret, Bridget, Sophie, May,and Elsie. None of them married.
Agustus had 2 sisters Margaret and Sophie Andreae:
- Sophie was my great grandmother who married Maurice Quinlan and lived in Kingwilliamstown (Ballydesmond). Maurice died on Feb 9th 1890 in Kingwilliamstown, son David present at death. [1901 census]. [1911] [1911 Sophie in Newcastle West]. Sophie died in September 23rd 1916 in Newmarket.
- Margaret never married but looked after the 5 girls after their mother died in 1908. Agustus predeceased his wife Catherine on 28/03/1894.
The original Andreaes who came to Millstreet were 2 brothers – William and Augusta. Both were German Lutherans. They came around middle to late 1830s. William was married to Margaret Browne said to be from the Castleisland area they were married in London in 1835.
The other brother Augusta never married and served in the local church of St. Anna’s (in Pound Hill) as Church Warden 1860-1875.
Together they started a bakery etc. and it appears business grew from there. William died in 1844 aged 36 and is buried in St. Patrick’s Cemetery as he became Catholic after the birth of their first child.
Augusta died in 1884 and is buried in St. Anna’s Cemetery in Pound Hill, Millstreet.”
——–
Epitath on headstone in St.Patrick’s Church Cemetery: “Erected in memory of Augustus Andreae who died 28th march 1894 aged 52 years. Also his beloved child William aged 6 months and to his young mother Margaret Andreae who died 31st May 1858 age 49 years”. The grave is at the very back corner behind the sacrastry (full details on HistoricGraves.com)

Some of the Andreae children were sent to study in Padraig Pearse’s school Scoil Éanna in Dublin (from ‘Ready Willing Waiting: Keale Millstreet Mushera, Rathduane Irish Volunteers 1916’, page 19)
