A tablet in a church somewhere, commissioned by a loving brother for his late sister, from the Poole Collection. With Poole, one can normally expect it to be in Waterford but the late Josephine Eliza lived outside Clonmel. So where is this tablet, and where do the Hamertons enjoy their eternal rest?

Someone of that name was working as a servant (nurse) in Castleknock in 1901. presumably not the same one though, as she'd have been a Parker before marriage.

In that sweet tongue the jingled maid cajoled and cursed, implored and prayed, Because her father's well-filled purse abduction brought ......and brought a curse.

No sign of Josephine Parker/Hammerton, Colonel Joseph Parker or Mathew Millett Hammerton in the census.

Josephine Eliza Parker (9 Dec 1843-23 May 1925) m. Matthew Millett Hamerton (d.23 Aug 1919) on 15 Apr 1868 at St. Anne's (Church of Ireland), Dublin - see churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/d-344-3-4-084.pdf ( from www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=510659.0)

I seen to remember the Parker's were related to the Grubb's in Clonmel. They were a prominent Quaker family.

Mathew and Josephine at home in the 1911 census. He is listed as Roman Catholic, she as Plymouth Brethren. Likewise in 1901 They had 7 children, 6 still living in 1911.

It would appear that the Hamerton Millett connection had dubious beginnings. "It is possible that the abduction in March 1769 by John Hamerton, farmer, of Orchardstown, Co. Tipperary, of Mary Millett, only child of John Millett, gent., of Knockura, in the same county, was motivated by a desire to alleviate a large mortgage debt due on the Hamerton lands which he had recently inherited." from..." Forcibly Without Her Consent:" Abductions in Ireland, 1700-1850 By Thomas P. Power books.google.ie/books?id=spQThHZYCFkC&pg=PT38&lpg... The Matthew Millett Hamerton above was probably a grandson of said abductor, John Millet (General) Hamerton being his father.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley We've had interesting Plymouth Brethren connections before, but crikey, is this our first abduction thread, https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]?
O Mac
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/] It's interesting in that the before mentioned church has a connection with the infamous Arbuthnot abduction in 1854. you're getting two abductions for the price of one today. victoriancalendar.blogspot.com/2011/06/july-281854-irish-...

Red Herring ... There are two Rathronan cemeteries in Co. Limerick (you would not want to wake up in the wrong one!). The other is at Ardagh, and has the tomb of William Smith O'Brien. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Smith_O_Brien_Bur... www.findagrave.com/memorial/185087976/william-smith-o_brien [https://www.flickr.com/photos/internetarchivebookimages/14593800738/]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] You wait ages for an abduction, and then two come along at the same time!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] I think the Arbuthnot abduction came up before at some point, but I can't remember what it was in connection with.

The Hamerton connection with Rathronan goes a long way back - see (what seems to be) the inscription on the tower: www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2607681/rathronan-cemetery

Nenagh Guardian, 19 March 1932, 2: TIPPERARY CHURCH ON FIRE Smoke emerging from the windows of Rathronan Protestant Church attracted the attention of a lorry driver named English, of Knocklofty on Monday evening, as he was driving past the place about 7 o'clock p.m. He immediately gave the alarm, and it was ascertained a fire had broken out in the church. Within a short time a number of people from the locality collected and were arduously engaged in the work of extinguishing the fire by carrying water in buckets from a pond some 200 yards away, and were it not for their timely intervention the fire might have been of a more serious nature.

The Nationalist, 16 March 1932, 1, notes that the damage was limited and the origin of the fire unknown.

Josephine Hamerton died at Clashanisky, Clonmel: civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/death...

I wonder if this memorial still survives inside the church? Sometimes when a church was deconsecrated the memorials and furnishings would be moved to another church

In January 1862 at the School of Art (Atheneum) in Limerick a Josephine Parker won a medal for "a shaded drawing of fruit from the cast". Our Josephine would have been 17 or 18 in January 1862. (as reported in the Tipperary Vindicator)

All 7 children are recorded at irishgeneology.ie: Helena, John, Mathew, Josephine, Susan, Albert and Robert. Susan died aged 1.
