In 1902 Catherine FitzGerald took over the lease when her husband Michael Joseph died on the 13th January 1902 at the age of 83. The land itself was still in the ownership of the Longfield family but around 1914 was bought by the state and effectively the FitzGeralds owned the land themselves at this point.

Catherine FitzGerald sold the farm to William Dooley in 1908. William Dooley died without issue on 19th November 1915. The farm was taken over by his brother Maurice Dooley who was married to Hannah Millerick of Kilcredan, Co. Cork. The Dooleys retained possession until the farm was sold to James Barry in 1954 and from 1980 it was in the possession of Ellen and Maurice Barry.


I received this message from Una on 24 Jan 2016:

Hi Bill, Don't know if I have given you this before but this is the house that Johanna Millerick lived in while married to Wm. Dooley. Ballykinealy (Ballykenneally) lands would have been in FitzGeralds of Desmond ownership up to the time of the Desmond rebellion. Subsequently they would have come into the hands of Walter Raleigh when the Desmond lands were confiscated in the latter end of the 16th century. They then came into possession of Richard Boyle 1st Earl of Cork around 1602 and he was now leasing the Ballykinealy plowland back to the FitzGeralds by the lease to John FitzRedmond (FitzGerald). The year 1636 was therefore the beginning of the FitzGerald history in Ballykinealy. They continued to have a presence in Ballykinealy until around 1908 when Catherine FitzGerald, widow of Michael Joseph FitzGerald B.L., sold the land and property to William Dooly. It later came into the ownership of the Barry family in the 1950s and continues in Barry ownership into the 21st century. http://kinsalebeg.com/chapters/piarasmac/piarasmac.html
