Possible connection between Tim Healy, (1855-1931), MP, King’s Counsel, Governor General and John Hely-Hutchinson (1724-94). Lawyer, Statesman, Provost Trinity College Dublin, son Viscount Donoughmore, (if you gave John Britain and Ireland as an estate he would come back and look for the Isle of Man as a Potato Garden).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hely-Hutchinson_(statesman)

In the recollections of James Stanley Vickery written in Australia in the 1890s he describes growing up in the 18s0s as an orphan with his grandparents in Molloch, in Parish of Durrus, Bantry. He refers to going as a child to Healy’s school in Bantry. Apparently a good teacher but put the fear of God into the children. Tim Healy was born in Bantry his father was master of the workhouse and his father a teacher who originated in Donoughmore. That makes Vickery’s teacher a candidate as Healy’s grandfather.

Like Healy John Hely grew up in Gortroe near Donoughmore in relatively humble circumstances and through ability and education became one of the most powerful figures in the middle and late 18th century Ireland. He adopted the ‘Hutchinson’ part of the name on marriage to Miss Nixon to secure her inheritance from an uncle.

There are remarkable parallels between the Healy/Helys, both lawyers, relatively modest beginnings bundles of ability, a cunning and ruthlessness with a pragmatic outlook. If there are descendants it would be interesting to compare their DNA.

Ann Maria Curtis, Dungourney, a granddaughter of Rev. John Madras who married Miss Evanson of Durrus, married a grandson of The Liberator, Daniel O’Connell,  1867, he was son of Charles O’Connell, Resident Magistrate, Bantry.

Ann Maria Curtis, Dungourney, granddaughter, of Martha Evanson, Ballydivane/Friendly Cove, Durrus, married 1867, The Liberator’s (Daniel O’Connell) grandson (Son of Charles Resident Magistrate, Bantry).

John T. Collins, Newspaper Extracts, Died 2nd March 1754 Mrs. Madras, w (wife or widow?) of Rev. M Madras.

John Henry Madras who was rector on Durrus c.1798. He married Martha Evanson and he was moved to Aglish parish. They had 4? children two boys Robert and Richard. Robert Conner Madras was a GP in Coachford and he is named on the marriage cert of Jeremiah O’Callaghan and Margaret Madras as father of the bride.The marriage was in Douglas Catholic Church in 1871. Both Margaret and Jeremiah were signed x. which I thought unusual for a doctor’s daughter.Jeremiah probably was illiterate. I subsequently have found a baptismal cert dated 1853 for Margaret Madras in St Peter and Paul’s in Cork city with Richard Madras named as father. Richard doesn’t seem to figure in any accounts of the Madras family who began in Huguenot Cork with Rev John Madras in the mid-1700’s. Margaret and Jeremiah subsequently lived in Flesk castle where he worked as a coachman. They had eight children

Margaret(Peggy) Madras(s), was born out of wedlock near OVENS in 1844 and registered on her baptismal cert as illegitimate. She was baptised into the Catholic church. Her mother was Joannah Linehan a Madras family servant and her father is named on baptism cert as Robert Conner Madras, a GP in Dripsey, son of a prominent Protestant family. He seems to have had no input into her life, which might explain her illiteracy. She subsequently married Jeremiah O’Callaghan a gardener in Douglas (Cork) Church in 1871 with Dr Robert Conner Madras named as her father on the marriage cert.  Both parties are recorded on their marriage cert as being illiterate, as were the witnesses. She went with Jeremiah to Flesk Castle in Killarney where he worked as a coachman along with other O’Callaghan family members on the Coltsman estate. They had six children one of whom was Cornelius.  She died aged 45 and is buried in Killarney and he lived to 102.
