101. Dermott O’Neill Email September 23, 2018

[Our latest info from the Emerald Isle. Thanks, Dermott!]

 Hi Ron,

            Hope you are keeping well. I am sending you an extract from a local newspaper from around 1876.

            William O'Neill, b1832, eldest son of James, nephew to your Hugh, was an agricultural engineer, who had a foundry in Athy. He won many prizes for his agricultural implements and exhibited at the annual Royal Dublin Society show. He married Francis Budds, but had no children (my G-G-uncle thinks). Have not found a death notice for him yet; I suspect he may have traveled to Australia or America to visit or stay with relatives. I have also found strong Quaker connections--I will send a photo of Quaker records.

            Would he be a second cousin of your William? William is a recurring name in the various O'Neill families on this side of the pond.

            All the best, Dermott

[Only Quaker reference I’ve seen for the O’Neills.]
