Limerick. I had assumed he was Curate-in-Charge in Ballingarry, Co. Tipperary, part of the Cloughjordan Union, as he was previously Curate in that union from 1910-1915. In some ways the Limerick parish makes sense, as the Moroney family appear to have been significant land-owners there, and in Miltown Malbay and Spanish Point, and could have influenced his appointment as Rector of Kilfarboy (if patronage still held any sway as late as the early 20th c.) Bertie was my grandfather's 1st cousin. I remember seeing him once, when I was a youngster.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431952357200668755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561249004966522983.post-42748666602748234562021-07-24T19:52:36.106+01:002021-07-24T19:52:36.106+01:00On the few times I’ve visited the church in Spanis...On the few times I’ve visited the church in Spanish Point, I’ve always been intrigued that our Lord seems to be wearing a chasuble in the central window at the East end. I can’t imagine chasubles would have been a very familiar sight in Church of Ireland around the time it was installed!Damian Shortenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563342379544713832noreply@blogger.com
