Written by Tom Dowling:-

William Dowling was born was born before 5 July 1885 in Dromard, County Tipperary, Ireland, the son of Jerimiah Dowling and Elizabeth Whelan-Dowling.

In the 1901 census aged 14 William was caught twice by the census as a scholar, once at home and the other living with the Davy family in nearby Knockahaw where he was also shown as a servant, likely helping on the farm. He was at home in the 1911 census and described as a farmer's son.

William arrived in the USA in 1912. William's grandson Robert told me that his grandfather and his brother Maurice had a
disagreement, and the families did not keep in touch.

In 1921 - William J. Dowling married Mary Macek. Mary Macek was born in 1899 in the city of Brno, Czechoslovak now The
Czech Republic. Grandson Robert Dowling said that Mary Macek's brother originally had the ticket to go to the USA and got cold feet and instead Mary took up the opportunity. It said that Mary didn’t even have a suitcase!

William and Mary had 3 children: William, born 1923 died 1984 aged 61, Irene, born 1926 and Gerald, born1933.

In 1940 they were living at - 257 South Eberhart Avenue, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA. William’s occupation was recorded as a painter and decorator company.

Son William had two daughters Casey and Julie and a son Robert. Robert is married to Michelle, they have 3 children Billy, Bobby, and Kate. Robert and Michell, his wife live in Inverness, Illinois, USA. I am happy to have recently been in conversation with Robert Dowling in Inverness, Illinois, USA, we are fourth cousins (our grandfathers were brothers). (APPEARS TO BE SHOWN TWICE IN 1901 CENSUS.)8

Written by grandson Tom Dowling:-

Jeremiah Dowling was born shortly before his baptism on 2 May 1852 in Dromard More, Tipperary, Ireland, to Maurice J Dowling and Honora Morrissey-Dowling. He was born justr after the Great Famine.

Jeremiah Dowling (my grandfather) and Elizabeth Whelan married in the Catholic Chapel of Templemore; Witnesses: James Carroll & Mary Whelan; Index: Thurles - 1876

Jeremiah’s occupation was a Farmer and while the famine years were in the past, a wave of anger and hatred would lead to the Land War (1879-82). In 1879, the blight returned in force bringing the possibility of renewed starvation Jeremiah and his family and evictions in the west of Ireland were widespread breeding insecurity. Farmers and labourers, possibly including Jeremiah, throughout Ireland had become politically organised by this time. Widespread civil resistance was organised in opposition to the unfair rights of landlords, and the strategy of boycott (named after an Irish land agent, Captain Boycott) was pioneered.

Jeremiah and Elizabeth had had seven children four of whom would emigrate to America, Hanora and Kate went first followed by James (William) and Maurice. They all settled in the Chicago area. Thomas, Joseph and Elizabeth would stay in Ireland.

Jeremiah was labouring on a farm using a threshing machine to separate the grain seed from the stalks and husks. His arm was caught in the machinery and badly crushed. He was rushed home and a doctor brought to the house who amputated the arm there and then at the house in Dromard. According to grandson Jer, teh arm was wrapped in a sheet and put in a box. Some men took it away but stopped in Errill for a few pints of beer in a Dowling pub. After dark the Dowling grave was opened and they buried the arm. Mary O'Shea confirms the story and that Jeremiah's wife was so angry she never spoke to them, again.

However, due to the severity, medical techniques, absence of medicines or nature of conditions, a short time later Jeremiah developed blood poisoning and painful gangrene set-in. He was taken to the only significantly accessible medical facility in the local area - Roscrea Workhouse, Roscrea. Jeremiah died on 22 November 1891 aged 40 years, leaving a young family.

Jeremiah was buried at the Dowling plot in Errill as was his wife Eliza later in 1930.

Historical Notes:

A national alliance known as the Irish National Land League was established by Michel Davitt with Charles Stewart Parnell Home Rule MP as its President. The League, funded by donations from America, organised boycotts against notorious landlords.
Parnell's "Land War" agitations brought the beginning of British political reforms helping Ireland's small farmers and tenants. The Land Act of 1881 granted official rent reductions and recognised the "interest" of tenants in their leased farms. The following year, Parnell agreed to end the Land War in return for the government's elimination of old unpaid rents.

The population of Ireland would continue to fall until 1962 as vast Irish emigrant communities had been established in Canada, Britain, the US and Australia. Money was sent back to Ireland to assist more family members to emigrate. This new Irish voice in America developed a political voice from abroad and was better placed to highlight the oppression of the British in Ireland. While there had been many rebellions in Ireland this famine and in the decades to follow would see a revival of the Irish languages and culture and a return of home rule.

Written by great-grandson Tom Dowling:-

Elizabeth Whelan was born in Graffin, Tipperary, Ireland shortly before 4 Mar 1849, the day she was baptised at Templemore. She was daughter of Thomas Whelan and Catherine Hamill-Whelan. Her parents later emigrated to Ontario Canada date unknown.

Catherine (her mother) and daughter Elizabeth would return to Dromard in 1853 following her husband Thomas’s death.

At the funeral of Dermot Dowling at Glasnevin cemetery in 2022, Mary O’Shea told me how her grandmother Eliza Dowling attended to a member of the old IRA who turned up wounded at the house in Dromard. He was shot while attempting a bank robbery in Roscrea!

Elizabeth lived with my grandparents Thomas and Mary Ann until she died in 1930.

In the later years of Elizabeth's life, she may have suffered from dementia. My dad Jer would say his mother Mary Ann was out on the road looking for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth is buried at Errill Cemetery in the Dowling plot.

Written by grandson Tom Dowling:-

Thomas Dowling (My Grandfather) was born shortly before he was baptised on 6 October 1878 in Templemore, Tipperary, Ireland. He was the son of Jeremiah Dowling and Elizabeth Whelan-Dowling.

His father Jeremiah died in 1891 aged 40 when Thomas was just 13 years of age.

In 1905, Thomas had a ticket booked from Queenstown to New York but following some events unknown his brother Maurice travelled on the ticket (see notes for Maurice). Thomas remained in Ieland.

Thomas Dowling and Mary Anne Moylan were married on 25 April 1928 in Grogan, Errill, Laois. Witnesses: John Gleeson & Julia McGuire (her sister). Thomas was 50 years old when they married, and Mary, born on 8th July1896, was 32 years of age. They had 13 years together.

John Moylan paid a dowry of 50 pounds to Thomas Dowling on his marriage to Mary Ann. (family records)

Thomas worked as a night watchman at Lisduff quarry - there were lots of explosives on site for quarrying. Not a lot more is known about Thomas as he died when my dad was 12 and, as my gran Mary Ann spent most of her time in the UK, I never remember having any conversations about him. I know he was small in stature unlike many of his brothers who were taller and well-built men.

Thomas also had a small farm at Dromard, Tipperary, 200 meters from the Laois border. This was poor land on the edge of Dromard bog. The house had no running water but there was a well down the field.

Thomas and Mary Ann had 5 children: Jeremiah, born. 26th October 1930, died 1st of Jan 2021 in Errill County Laois (My dad); Margaret (Peg) Born. 30th of Apr 1932, died 11th of Aug 2011 in Nottingham, England; Joseph, born 5th of May 1933, died 7th of Nov 1996 in Nottingham, England; Sean, born 1 August 1934, died 12 August 2006 in Birmingham, England; Liam, born. 22 Jul 1935, died 20th of Jun 2018 in Nottingham, England; and Maurice, born 1st of September 1936, died 22nd of Aug 2010 in Manchester, England.

On the 24th of December 1941 - Thomas Dowling died at Roscrea Hospital of Heart Disease, 1 year & half; certified. Mary Ann died on the 28th of May 1976 aged 80 following a series of strokes, thirty-five years after her husband died.

Written by Tom Dowling:-

Maurice Joseph Dowling was born 22 May 1883 in Dromard, County Tipperary, to Jerimiah Dowling and Elizabeth Whelan-Dowling.

The Steamship "Baltic" made her maiden voyage on 29 June 1904 from Liverpool to New York, under the command of Edward Smith, the future captain of the Titanic. The Baltic was then the largest liner in the world at that time with a capacity for 2,875 passengers. In 1905, Thomas, Maurice's brother, had decided to leave for the USA. He had arranged a ticket on the Baltic liner from Queenstown, now called Cobh or Cork, to New York.

The Manifest of Alien Passengers for the US Immigration Officer at the Port of New York, Ellis Island, on April 21st, 1905, states that 'Thomas Dowling', of Dromard, Clonmore, Tipperary arrived on board the Steamship "Baltic". The passenger that left Queenstown for the US was not Thomas, but actually his brother Maurice who travelled on his ticket! The story my dad, Jeremiah, told was that Maurice was in trouble with the law.

This account, taken from the article 'Ellis Island and the Making of America' by Jayare Roberts, A.G., M.L.S., Genealogical Journal, Volume 23, Numbers 2 and 3, 1995, pages 79-80. Liam Donoghue's email relating to an Irish visit in the 1960s and visiting Joe
Dowling’s house:
“I remember Mrs Mary Dowling on the South Circular Road, Dublin remarking, too bad about your old Da (Maurice)".
"Why Mrs Dowling?" Said I.
"Well, he was a big handsome man too bad he got into trouble with the law. He would have made a lovely policeman.”

There was also a story that Joe, Maurice’s brother, who was in the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), suggested that Maurice leave or be arrested - this is not true as Joe did not join the RIC until 1913.

Maurice and Ellen Shanahan were married between 1906 and 1908. Eleanor may also have been from Tipperary and likely they travelled there together.

From Maurice’s naturalisation papers on the 12th of September 1918, details include that he was 5ft 11 ½ inch, weighed 160 pounds, with black hair and grey eyes.

Between 5th January 1920 and 24th August 1966 Maurice lived at St Louis City, St Louis, Missouri, USA. Working as a Switchman for the Railroad.

Maurice and Ellen had 7 children: Mark L, born July 1908; Catherine Winifred, born 2 November 1910, d. 4 Aug 1957; Jeremiah, born 11 Jul 1911, d. 25 Sept 1922; Elizabeth, born 1914; Thomas, born 1916; James, born 1916, and Maurice, born 1924.

Maurice's wife, Ellen Shanahan Dowling, died on 26 February 1947, in St Louis City, St Louis, Missouri, USA. Note: Age: 62.

Maurice Joseph Dowling died on 24th August 1966 and is buried in St Louis City, St Louis, Missouri, USA, Calvary Cemetery and Mausoleum; Plot: Section 24 Lot 443; Memorial ID: 149685661.

Written by relative Tom Dowling:-

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Dowling was born on 29 February 1888 in Dromard, County Tipperary, Ireland, daughter of Jerimiah Dowling and Elizabeth Whelan-Dowling.

According to Mary O'Shea-McGrath, on a recent visit to Ballingarry in June 2024, her father 'Jim' O'Shea purchased the old Gortderrybeg Barracks (a ruin) for 60 pounds in early 1924. Its location was between St. Patrick’s Church, Couraguneen and Fiacri
House an area I would refer to as Clonkenny. Jim’s brother John, a carpenter and a friend, put a new roof on the house and a new staircase.

Eliza married James O’Shea on 27 November 1924 in the Church of Clonmore. Witnesses: Edward O'Shea & Katie Delaney.

Daughter Mary O’Shea McGrath was born in this house.

A few years later the Loran Estate was going to be divided by the land commission. Dr Kennedy who was high up in the Department arranged that some of his extended family would get the land and they needed with clear possession. Jim and Elisa, with Mary only 2 years old, were evicted without recourse!

The O’Shea’s moved to Hockney’s and lived with an old relation who promised them the house when he died. Nothing was put in writing and the house was sold on his death. "Uncle Tom Dowling came down" and offered Jim & Eliza a room in Dromard, and the family were moved to Borrisoleigh (The O’Shea home) and went to school there. Later the O’Shea’s got a house in Cloone, near Templemore Station where the family lived for many years.

James and Eliza had three children: Mary, Maurice, and Martin.

In 1951 following the death of her Uncle Tom, Eliza and Jim O'Shea purchased the house in Dromard from Tom’s widow Mary Ann.

Eliza Dowling died on 7 September 1962, in Roscrea, Tipperary, Ireland aged 69 of congestive heart failure, chronic myocarditis, certified.

Written by relative Tom Dowling (Information on Joe Dowling's family was found in documents between Dermot and my father Jer):-

Joseph Dowling was born on 1 October 1890 in Dromard, Tipperary, Ireland to Jerimiah Dowling and Eliza Phelan-Dowling.

Joe won a scholarship to Agricultural College in Clonakilty County Cork - the first Dowling documented to attend that college.

About 1910 Joe emigrated to England where he worked in a seed shop in St Albans, Hertfordshire for about a year (highly likely Samuel Ryders business in Holywell Hill). In 1911 Joe returned to Ireland where he worked with Suttons Seed Merchants in Cork City.

In 1913 he joined the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), which was the police force in Ireland from 1822 when all of Ireland was under the control of the United Kingdom. The force was disbanded in 1922. He was first stationed in Cork City.

On the 6th of June 1923 - Joe Dowling and Mary O’Sullivan (documented as Josephine) were married in Ferbane County Offaly. Josephine's address was given as Shoreham, Sussex and her profession was a schoolteacher. Witnesses were Thomas Stenson and Ann Maher.

Josephine O’Sullivan was Educated in the Presentation Convent Thurles and later trained as a schoolteacher at Carysfort College Blackrock. Her Mother was also a teacher. Mary emigrated to Brighton for a year and taught in a kindergarten before returning to Ireland to teach.

One of Joe’s earliest duties in the RIC was retrieving bodies from the ocean liner ‘The Lusitania’ torpedoed by a German U-boat off the Old Head of Kinsale on the afternoon of the 7th of May 1915. 1,198 passengers and crew died including Hugh Lane an Irish art dealer, collector, and gallery director. He is best known for establishing Dublin's Municipal Gallery of Modern Art returning with new art purchased in America. (letters from Dermot Dowling (his son) shared with my dad in the 1990s).

Following the 1916 rising, Joe Dowling was part of a police party that raided the home of Thomas Kent. Thomas Kent was the only one of the 15 men who were executed to be the subject of a court-martial outside Dublin. He was also probably the unluckiest of them all. He did not participate in the Easter Rising having stood down due to orders issued from Dublin by the Irish Volunteers, but
he was caught up in its aftermath. The main train station in Cork is named in his honour (Kent).

In 1923 Joe Dowling was by that time a sergeant stationed at Ferbane Co Offaly where they settled down. The RIC had been disbanded and Joe was a member of The Garda Síochána the national police and security service of the Republic of Ireland. Joe would later be moved to Donabate (North Dublin) in 1936 and later to Lusk both small seaside towns.

In 1938 Joe changed his career to take up a position in The Fisheries Board where he remained until his retirement 13 years later.

Joe and Mary had three children Dermot was born in Dublin. He had two brothers Donal died aged 15 after completing his Intermediate cert. A second son Donald died at 17th months after a short illness. Dermot recorded that his father never recovered from the death of Donal “he was never the same man after that”.

They purchased a house at 18 Royse Rd, Phibsborough, on the Northside of the city. In 1952 they purchased 48 Greenville Terrace, (off the South Circular Road) where Dermot, their son, would live until his death. I would regularly meet Dermot on the streets around South Circular Road. My dad Jer would regularly visit Dermot, later in his life Dermot would visit our house in Errill.

Joe Dowling died on 28 June 1963, in Dublin, Age: 73; at St Kevin's Hospital; Informant: J Farrell occupier of St Kevin's Hospital. Cause: Heart failure; coronary infarction; certified. His wife Josephine said the death of 2 sons and her husband left her very sad
and she withdrew from life and kept her only surviving son Dermot very close to her. Josephine herself died in 1972 following a fall in the house she was moved to St James Hospital.

---===oOo===---

Historic account of the event - When the Kent residence was raided, they were met with resistance from Thomas and his brothers Richard, David and William. A gunfight lasted for four hours, in which a RIC officer, Head Constable William Rowe, was killed and David Kent was seriously wounded. Eventually, the Kents were forced to surrender, although Richard made a last-minute dash for freedom and was fatally wounded. David Kent was sentenced to five years of penal servitude; William, who was not known for his Republican activities, was acquitted. The sentence of death was passed on Thomas Kent and carried out on May 9th in Cork Barracks. Dermot Dowling said his father never spoke in detail about this or any other raids he was involved in. Nor is this to suggest that he did anything other than carry out his orders as a policeman (recorded in writing by Dermot and sent to Jer).

Following the Civil War and the truce of July 1921 the RIC disbanded and a new police force, “The Civic Guard” (renamed the Garda Síochána na hÉireann on 8 August 1923) was formed by Michael Collins and the Irish Government.

Written by great-grandson Tom Dowling:-

Maurice J Dowling was born at Dromard. (My great-great Grandfather). His parents were most likely James (Doolin) Dowling and Anne Maher of Dromard County Tipperary.

Maurice's later occupation was as a farmer.

On 31st of December 1850 - Maurice and Honora Morrissey were married in Dromard More, Tipperary, Ireland, Templemore Parish; Witnesses: Michl Mihan & Eliza Morrissey. Honora was expecting a child at the time.

This was a particularly horrific time in Ireland. It is estimated that the Famine caused about 1 million deaths between 1845 and 1851 either from starvation or hunger-related disease. A further 1 million Irish people emigrated.

Maurice and Hanora had 5 children:
Maurice Doolin was baptised on the 15th of December 1850 in Templemore, Tipperary, Ireland;
Jeremiah Dowling baptised 2 May 1852 in Templemore;
Joseph Doolin baptised on the 4th of August 1854 in Templemore;
Mary Doolin (#39572) was baptised on the 21st of December 1856 in Templemore;
William Doolin was baptised on the 1st of January 1860 in Templemore.

Maurice's wife, Hanora, died 24 May 1875.

On the 1st of Nov 1881, widowed Maurice J Dowling died aged 67 years. The cause of death was recorded as Dysentery (an infection of the intestines that causes diarrhoea containing blood or mucus).

According to the National Folklore Collection UCD 1938:

An old man remembered the famine in '47 when most of the respectable farmers of Errill district were obliged to call to the meal-house where the shop of Mrs Quigley now stands and take home a bucket full of cooked Indian meal for their family. A soup kitchen was established by the Quakers under the Poor Law Union to provide sustenance to starving families and a plaque is erected in Errill village (near Dowling’s Pub).

Mr Michael Peters Harristown (near Rathdowney) told of a Boiler in the Square in Rathdowney from which the poor people were fed Indian Meal. Mr Barber of Ballybuggy also dispensed meals from a huge boiler in an outhouse. Another public boiler was installed in the barracks of Mrs Carroll. The mark is still to be seen on the wall. Mr Peters said that there was a family named Reads of Harristown, five of them died of the hunger and only the eldest and youngest lived. The Great Famine (An Gorta Mor) from 1845 to 1849 was a very real crisis.
