Profile

Patrick Donohue
Born: Ireland 1806

Events in Ireland in 1806
  • Violent feuding, which will continue for several years, commences between Caravats and Shanavests (the former representing the rural poor, the latter prosperous farmers), mainly in Counties Tipperary, Waterford, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork

    As part of building a profile I am assuming that most males at this time were developing there own lives around 16 to 18. At this time they would have been working for a few years and ready to marry. I am assuming that Patrick left Ireland around this time. So we are looking at somewhere between 1820 to 1825.

    Events Around Ireland in during 1820s
    1821
  • The potato crop fails (September-November)
  • 17 people are burned to death in a house in Tubber, Co. Tipperary, probably by 'Rockite' agitators (19 November)
  • The population of Ireland is around 6.8 million
    1822
  • Fever follows famine in the west of Ireland (June-December)
